So give me your nuge proposal
- Bieksa#3


Lol, that's the trouble, I really don't know.

It would start with Reilly and Bozak (temporary replacement for RNH).

After that, they would need the ability to try and get a #1 C. So lets throw in a 1st. They also need to give up some salalry, but Carlyle wouldn't even use him, so let's say a salary dump in the mean time. EDM might want someone to replace Dubnyk give his god-awful start, so maybe Reimer in addition. So we have:

Reilly + 1st + Bozak + Reimer + ??

for Nuge + Salary + ??

It's a lot for Toronto to give up, but it addresses a huge need (IMO). I would say that it would normally take more from Toronto, but given the desperate situation EDM is finding themselves in, that could be close enough.

Thoughts?

much like all the trades... Edm won't trade anyone to a division team. So canucks fans you can (frank) right off

leafs fans can stay though

Seeing as how you guys are throwing around proposals and need D how about:

Ebs plus pick for Edler plus Tanev or Corrado?

Finally gives the Canucks a second line while giving Edm a young top defensive pairing?

- Whiskey-Tango

Lets simplfy, Edler and 2nd for ebs.

I really don't wanna give up on Nuge I have a huge man crush. But that a legit proposal

honestly I don't think Edm and TO are great fits. Tor and Edm are good on the wings

Listen, we all know Yaks is untouchable so there is no point dreaming up trades.
- whosyodaddy

You are correct. Me along with the rest of the planet has no need to wear a helmet while doing regular duties such as eating and walking down the street. Just because your parents made u wear one during the same activities, doesn't make it normal

Not sure edm has any awful contracts. Hemmer but its the last yr. I like bozak but his contract has to be some kind of joke.

In all honesty, you should package Yak ++ for Weber. With all of Nashville's d-men, they can afford to give one up, even if he is one of the best int he league.

Bozak would be a good 2nd line centre. Yes his contract isn't great, but without RNH, you need a replacement. Not sure if we are the best fit, but if there was a trade, this would be similar to what it could be imo.

Agree. I think Weber is there for good so I would target Jones but try for both

but why would the oilers help out a major division rival. Trades rarely happen with rival teams. Who ever makes the first call would have to over pay. I doubt Mac T would even pick up the phone if it were gillis
