Wideman and the 35th is worth a 7th round pick salary dump move. No thanks. Bickell type offer
- sditulli

Well I agree the wideman offers need to stop, he is no Bickell ...4th in D points two seasons ago ...near .5 points per game last year ...he is a better version of Justin Shultz ...would I rather he make less sure but he isn't some cap dump throw in

crosby still sucks tho

Thanks for the contribution!

Don't forget to get your certificate of attendance on the way. Always nice when the blind find a way to participate!

As long as Philly fans keep saying Crosby sucks, we'll still know he's still a valuable player

as if the trophies he took home weren't enough



ugh

lol
and he's 33 and he's a ref-killer

EDIT: and OH (frank), he has a 5.25m cap hit next year

I honestly think it takes something like Backlund and the 35 though most Flames posters don't seem to agree. I dont know if 2 2nd rounders will be enough for GMJR. Somehow I doubt it will be. Which is a bit of a shame as Backs is a really good 3C and defensively responsible. The problem is he doesnt exactly fill a need for Pitt. Maybe Colborne but I doubt that is too exciting either. TB may end up being the best trade partner.

Here is the thing. Two second round picks should be more than enough for JR. That should be the goal. Asking for the 6th overall pick is embarrassing to be honest when tied to MAF.

I wouldn't mind Backlund, if we didn't have Crosby, Malkin, Bonino. Backhand would be a fourth line center in Pittsburgh, not a third liner. Colbourne, same thing. People continue to throw centers coming back our way and they don't even look at our roster ... Crosby/Malikn/Bonino/Fehr or Cullen or Sundqvist. We don't need centers.

Oh yeah? Well, I... uh...

um


I've got nothing for you, sorry

Ha. I don't want any Flames defenseman outside of Brodie or Dougie. Dang you guys spent a lot of money on the back end.
- YouMeAndDupuis9

It's just the way it worked out with some contracts ending around the same time others began ...pretty quick it will be gio, Brodie, Hamilton and then a bunch of kids on ELC or guys like jokkipaka

I know you are loaded at C which is why I said he wasnt the best fit. 2 2nds I am fine with.

What rumored #6? It was JR being an idiot, or shooting for the moon for Fleury. He isn't worth that. Trading Murray for the number six plus is also just a retarded notion as well. We don't yield anything good on the NHL roster for two or three years following the draft. Utterly pointless. LOL at your post saying Calgary has wanted Murray for 6-8 months and has offered the 6 overall plus.

Reasonable thing to do is deal the guy that is our backup making 5.75 million for the next XXX years, the one who had two concussions in two months and usually struggles in the play-offs.

There is a cap problem. The people who think we don't have one I don't get. We are up against the cap and have bigger problems next year.
- Oneonta Penguin

It has been reported several places that Calgary has offered #6 as the centerpiece for Murray, it was also heavily reported at the TD that Calgary pushed hard to try to pry Murray away from the Pens then. Not going to get involved in the merits of considering the deal because you're already set in your biased opinion but bashing the poster and acting like he has no basis for even suggesting it when both things you disputed have already been report makes you look foolish.

His age or ref pushing abilities do not make him worse than Shultz ...

He is a cap bump throw in when he is making what he makes. Pittsburgh cannot justify trading MAF to clear cap and bring in an at best third D pairing guy that tries to kill zebras making 5.25 for the next year.

You get a starting goalie for 5.75 and we get a third pair Dman at best for 5.25? pass.

Stop talking about two years ago. It was a career year for him. Let's talk this year. It's sort of like when Toronto fans were coming on here talking Kulemin would be this great compliment to Malkin because he was once a 30-goal scorer. Problem was, when they were doing that, he was two years removed from that and he hasn't amassed 10 since.

- Redmile247

They also don't make him more than double the worth of what we'd even pay Schultz.


Retain 50% of his cap, and we'll humor talk

You continue to fail at selling Wideman to Pittsburgh. There is no justification for Pittsburgh to remotely have interest.

Pfft.... its been much shorter
- Guile

well, I hope you're enjoying your day in the sun. Just saying though, it could've been more dramatic. It's kind of hard to maintain suspense when there's a clear cut winner four months out from the finals.

When you're that good, you're good. Don't be a hater, or better phrased, a RANGER

And even considering that deal, if true, is retarded for the reasons I stated. Don't give me your already set in your biased opinion, because I've seen your posts.

It's a dumb idea for Pittsburgh to consider.

I have to admit that I wasn't a big fan of the GMJR hiring when it first went down but as time passes I can't be more impressed with how he handles himself, I always felt like Shero was too concerned with appeasing the fans and always looked to make moves that excited the fans even if they weren't necessarily the best moves for the team but GMJR just does his thing and doesn't care how he's perceived. His patience with this goalie situation when everyone wants to make knee jerk reactions is going to be a Godsend for the organization.

I know bonino just had an amazing cup run for you guys so he is very popular in here but he is not better than backs ..not close ...bonino is a 3C and nothing more ...if you traded Malkin bonino could not take the 2C spot but a backlund could ...I say good on bonino for playing above his head but let's be realistic here

His worst viewed move/trade... Despres for Lovejoy, turns out to be one of his best.

Hey... you guys can have Malkin... just give us Bennett and Brodie

I posted this last blog before it went Truman Kapute:

Calgary is now officially tied to Varly on top of Bishop and Fleury. People ask why not start at some outlandish asking price like the 6th overall or Bennett. Well there's why. The longer we take to lure in Calgary's attention with a worthwhile offer, the longer they have to explore and be seduced by other options. It's not Fleury or bust for Calgary. It may be Calgary or bust for us.

His age or ref pushing abilities do not make him worse than Shultz ...
