Schenn has remained in the league as a 5 - 7 guy so I give him credit for having some type of career. Plus he got us JVR.

If I'm Calgary.

I keep Hamilton unless the offer blows me away.

This isn't the case here...

sounds like they will be shopping him. i don't get it. multiple maybes is what you get, pretty standard package.

straight up it's kadri for hamilton. works on our side if the leafs sign tavares.

It's always "if the offer blows me away" then you see Phaneuf getting traded out of Calgary for Stajan and other garbage.

If we're talking strictly on ice product that makes sense but there's always other variables. How bad does someone want to get rid of a player? How dumb is the other GM like Chiarelli? Did the player sleep with someone's wife/gf or a teen (Zherdev)? etc.

I think so. I bet a bunch of GMs can use a winger scoring goals. I think any GM who signs him for over 6 million will regret it but a team will.

Meh, did nothing for us while he was on the roster. If someone's greatest achievement is getting traded, I think that qualifies as a bust.

i'm wondering if he comes in under 6, like oshie.

so many $6M contracts for wingers floating around that can be thrown on the scrap heap.

You're not wrong and it could turn out that way.

I just know I wouldn't do it.

Most wouldn't, I wouldn't trade Hamilton if he was already on our team...
(stupid Burke )

This rumour has been going on since late 2016. Maybe there is, or was an issue with the off-ice stuff?

I agree with you though. I wouldn't either because it's pretty bad. It's why I throw out bad looking deals, you'd be surprised to see the right GM make the trade.

Carolina is going to trade away 2 - 5 guys and they won't get nearly the return people think.

I don't like the term either for a guy who is really a floater. I'd rather pay Panarin 8 million than JVR 6.

Agreed.

And I predict JVR gets more than 6 per.

I can't wait for the fire sale. It's going to be so much fun this year. I feel bad for Carolina fans but I need the entertainment and there's never a lot of player movement in the cap era.
