Still hope we can work something out with him...

Anaheim has a whole bunch of defensemen I’d assume we like

If we are getting Larsson,
then hopefully we can get a 1st from them also
If it’s Vatanen,
not sure what else (if anything) we can get them to add

I want Larsson though...
-responsible in his own end
-good passer & skater
-offensive upside
-plays aggressive
*from scouting reports I’ve read, haven’t seen him play much

I heard the offers are really really good though



- homiedclown

Think they going to move him then? Let’s face it the defense is a complete mess....

spectors thinks its Vatanen and Larsson is not on the trade block


after saying that, if Kane stays hot the price goes up

I put the odds at 70% traded, 50% he gets traded before the winter freeze

I’d like to keep Kane...
but I’d LOVE to get Larsson & a 1st,
and then we might even be able to get Kane back as a free agent

IF we can’t get Kane back...
we could potentially draft baby Tkachuck,
or look to sign JvR or Neal in UFA
And Bailey plays the same style as Kane, but we’ve gotta hope he can develop as a scorer

Larsson has a chance to be a “top pair” defenseman
Those are very hard to acquire

Bob McKenzie said that he’s hearing,
“Anaheim doesn’t want to trade Lindholm, Fowler, Manson or Montour... but they would make Vatanen and Larsson available”

I’m guessing Spector is assuming they’d rather part with Vatanen for Cap reasons

Heck...
do we add in Reinhart & get both?

Idk if I want Vatanen though?
I do like what I’ve seen (limited) and read about Larsson though

Trade Kane for Larsson +
Sign Carlson as a UFA

Scandella-Carlson
Larsson-Ristolainen
Guhle-McCabe/Antipin/Beaulieu

That’s a defense we could win with

That would be a nice upgrade.

It would be better if we could keep Kane & trade Reinhart for Larsson

Trading Kane could help the defense,
but we are struggling to score & gonna trade the guy who gets the most goals

That’ll be tougher to replace than we think

I feel like we need to get a centerman back so that Sam can go back to the wing.

Has any time table been announced for Josefson, Bogosian, or anyone else that is out?

I would trade him before the deadline we seem to get screwed every time now with Chris Stewart ,Jamie mcginn

I would rather trade him do a switch with another player that's doing bad on another team my target would be Alex Galchenyuk

MTL is notoriously bad at trades, but I doubt they would do it.

I like Vatanen's game.

he would add a dynamic on the PP that we have not had in quite some time.

His size isn't even an issue. He's quick enough to get out of tough situations.

history shows from the pens, they don't wait til the last hour on deadline day and in many cases make their moves well before that day


hopefully botts was part of that decision

I think he would be a great mentor for antipin

it makes sense, you get more value for your rental. More time to recover in the standings as well, or to separate yourself from the pack.

Man...looking at the roster of this team is disturbing. I can barely find a starting lineup.

Talented forwards:
Kane
Eichel
Pouliot(streaky)
O'Reilly(slow)
Okposo(slow)
Pomminville(old)

Forwards with potential:
Reinhart(fading fast)
Baptiste
E-Rod

Talented Defensemen:
Scandella
Ristolainen (maybe?)

Defensemen with potential:
Antipin
Beaulieu
McCabe

Everyone else is just spare parts that aren't working. I hate to sound like Mike Harrington, but I don't think this is coaching anymore. Your group of talent isn't up to snuff.

EDIT: I forgot the goalies because they're so forgettable.

Regardless of the scuttlebutt on here...Eichel is still in a category all to his own. Risto is talented as (frank). Otherwise I agree with this.

bogo will save them

I don't know what everyone is so worried about, our best player hasn't even played yet! That 4th A is irreplaceable

Does anyone else feel like Jack is really fighting the puck lately?

Saw this quote from Brian Burke on Spector's page. Thought it was pretty funny.

Brian Burke said he’s glad struggling Flames forward Sam Bennett plays in Calgary and not in Toronto, where he would face far more media scrutiny over his performance and future. “If he were in Toronto, they would have traded him 70 times, shot him six times, condemned his parents four times,”

It would be better if we could keep Kane & trade Reinhart for Larsson

I agree 100%... After Jack Kane is our best forward.
