Would you rather have Alex Tuch or Eric Staal?
- washedup20

Staal

I’d be fine with it. But I’d have low, low expectations
- sbroads24

I'm not expecting him to light the world on fire maybe 900 yards and 7TDS with us

Kill Boston

Good write up on our Swedish prospects for those interested

Staal

Tuch

He is 21 and is only going to get better. Would be a perfect guy to pair with Jack or Casey.


Staal is going to be 34 and has maybe 2-3 years left producing those numbers.

Friedman: Calgary will consider offers on Dougie Hamilton and Sam Bennett

I'm starting to think Hamilton might be a problem in the locker room

I'd take a gamble on Bennett for the right price.

My guess with Hamilton is that they have 2 guys in the minors that are going to be pushing for spots in Rasmus Andersson and Oliver Kylington.

Is this a fair or interesting trade for either team?

To Buf:
Duncan Keith

To Chi:
#32 pick
Jake McCabe
Kyle Okposo

Staal would cost us something significant so that probably be a pass anyways

Not really fan of tuch think he will just be another Clarke MacArthur ( not a bad thing for the 3rd line )

I think Duncan Keith is almost done he looked like absolute poop last year

Maybe he's played too much hockey over the last 5 years and he just needs a break and he'll be back to his dominance next year I don't know

I'm liking your idea about Sam Bennett I would love his speed on this team maybe he can turn into a poor man's Brad Marchand

Is it possible to get Sam Bennett ,tkachuk

Lol

I like him as a mentor to Dahlin

Scandella-Bogo
Keith-Nelson

You do realize MacArthur was a 1st line winger before injuries. I mean if Tuch becomes a 50-60 point player, wouldn't you take that for the next several years? He's also gritty.

That was the rumour coming out of Boston. Im not sure if hes a (frank)ing goof but it kinda reminds me of Dean Maccamond and Tony Hrkac. Now, neither were as high end a talent as DH, but both moved around alot.
Tony Hrkac was a servicable NHL depth player, a journeyman, but I heard he was such an awkward geek that he just couldnt fit in anywhere. I mean....12 NHL teams between 87 and 03?
Dean Maccamond was a good player, solid middle 6 utility guy. 11 teams in 16 years ( sometimes returned to former teams). He was a bible thumper though and was always talking about Jesus in the locker room when everyone else wanted to talk about wussy.

Honestly he's another guy that if paired with Jack could be something special to watch. He's caught in a numbers game and IMO this coming season could be a breakout year for him.

Dk what it would take but I'd like to see them push for a Bennett/Kylington deal.

No he isnt. He simply isnt very good. Poor mans Darcy Tucker at best.

Hrkac was also out of the league for like 4 years in the middle of his career and was a an expansion pick I think twice. He was a serviceable 3rd liner, Also pretty sure he had some injury issues in his mid to late 20's.

No he isnt. He simply isnt very good. Poor mans Darcy Tucker at best.

I'd take that at this point.


This team is awful.

I remember as a kid having about a thousand of these

I could honestly see you being right about Sam Bennett breaking maybe a package deal with ROR

If it got rid of some of our disgusting contracts sure but I think he signed for 6 more years correct?

Never seen Darcy Tucker play but looking at his stats I wouldn't mind that

I just heard he was awkward geek from his time in Edmonton.

The point is that sometimes good players get bounced around because they’re a bad it the locker room.

I dont disagree just remember him having a hard time staying healthy and bouncing around a bit because of it.
