fla: gagner + 7th pick

edm: bjudstad + 2nd pick
- deks1

Too much for Florida to give up to acquire Gagner. The value difference between Jones and Nurse (or if you prefer MacKinnon and Lindholm) is too far apart for a swap of Gagner and Bjudstad.

If you want the 2nd overall pick the deal would have to be something like:

Gagner, 7th pick

for:

2nd pick, rights to Weiss, conditional 2014 3rd.

Conditional that they sign Weiss.

It is a huge price for Edmonton to pay but to get another Franchise player to add to Hall - Nuge - Yakupov, you have to pay. Besides, Weiss is a great replacement for Gagner especially if it gets you Jones.

I get the feeling the only way the Sabres move Myers is if they are getting a package of Klefbom + 7th.

Trading Myers straight up for a Nurse level player (or even adding an irrelevant piece) is a bad move for the Sabres IMO, yes there is a risk that Myers wont live up to his contract but this kind of move can haunt a team for a long time if done to rashly.

I can see 7th +. But not klefbom.

Isn't happening so stop the discussion about it.

No team in the top 4 is moving those picks UNLESS they are blown away. Gagner plus the 7th does not blow Florida away. Eberle plus the 7th blows Florida away. Yes I know you're going to say that's not happening & you're right just like it's not happening the other way either.

The only team that may trade out is Carolina at 5 & that's highly unlikely as well.

I love how Mr Newmy suggests that the only way we make ANY kind of trade is if we overpay. Does not matter for who, or what we are offering up, it must be Edmonton overpaying for whatever scrub we suggest in acquiring. Thank you Mr. Newmy for your most valuable insight.

Gagner for Gardiner, Reimer,Rielly,Kadri 2014 1st,2015 1st.

Whattya think?

You are stunned.

LOL, Gagner for Phaneuf.

is that Gagner+edmonton's 1st?

If so, what else would edmonton add?

Good. Why can't we just replace our UFA's with different , better UFA'S , let our prospects develop in the minors and our young roster players simply get healthy and play like they are a year older?

When was the last time Edmonton attracted any good UFAs?

You are stunned.

Love the location, who shared that tidbit of lunacy?

Gagner wouldn't even net a 1st in the top 15 in this draft. Too deep.

LOL, Gagner for Phaneuf.

some serious overvaluing going on in this blog, acquiring top talent takes top talent. sam gagner + 7th overall for Jones or Nathan MacKinnon, never going to happen.

not sure would i want weiss, but i tinker the idea of gagner + 7th pick for fla 2nd pick +

Wait...the 2nd pick AND MORE!?!?

For the great Panuf?

Hall at a minimum

As for the Hemsky rumor, Oilers fans are going to need to accept the return for him isn't going to be what we had in mind at all.
- Maxbone

This is why I hate you. It was less than 24 hours ago that you proposed a stupid deal for Zibanejad while the rest of us were talking about Zach Smith. Now this morning you write this !! How the hell did you manage to convince some backwater newspaper to hire you ?

Whoa now, that's a bit much. Leafs may settle for a Yakupov+Schultz+Eberle combo... in addition to the previously mentioned pieces.

Justin Schultz was the last one. Swing and miss with Hossa and Jagr previously.

I can't wait for Dioon to turn the Oilers around

Lots of teams have problems attracting good UFA's.


Like Toronto for instance

fo sho.

And when a Leafs fan says "why can't we just replace all our UFAs with better ones" feel free to say the same thing.

if the leafs wanted a small 45 pt center that's useless when hes not scoring they should probably go and resign tyler bozak
