Trade Hawks and Flames

[PigsRule]

if this trade does go thru :CHI-NHL: would own Max Pac for 3 wks during the reg.season and however long their post season run lasts... as a pure rental its a decent trade as izaman and dickiedunn mentioned. cap hits are similar and if Max Pac walks yr end :CHI-NHL: ends up with only 1 assets in D Josh Gorges who's serviceable but by no means anywhere close to approaching stud status.

i would be first to not just veto a deal but kill it altogether if I felt a trade was truly detrimental to a team. in this case I believe :CLG: comes out ahead long run.

:iatp:

Let's get confirmation that Max will be going to free agency 100 percent. If that is confirmed I will approve. Boys don't take it personal when I speak up I think both of you are great GM's.

Sometimes owners have plans they don't want to completely spellout to the masses.

Rip in FNHL a $7 million contract is tough to handle especially because we follow the NHL cap which dropped this season and for a guy like Max to earn that and eat up 10% of my teams cap wouldnt make sense on a team rebuilding its roster.

Been here 3 seasons and definitely not looking to blow up franchises without piecing them back together quickly. I like to move fast and get things done.  :toast:

Then why would you add a $5.8M dollar mid pack D man? $1.3 M more and you keep your best player.

[jackdaniels]

Cuz in a league full of Flyers fans and teams always looking for prime D Luke is the bett player to hold while I rebuild. Who said Schenn is even on my Flames roster beyond February's trade deadline?

Have you seen Schenn's stats from last season?

[jackdaniels]

Rip do you honestly believe Max is a $7.1 million player.

Even on fantasy he's not worth 7 to me or most teams here.
You couldve had him but you didnt want to post an offer.

If someone doesn't make me an interesting offer before the guy's contract expires my Hawks will let him walk to FA.
He's purely an expensive rental. LOL

[ripper]

Fair enough, a cheap rental, but as long as he is just a rental.........

 :iatp:

[PsychoticPondGoons]

There will be much better priced Wingers to spend 7m on. You can take that to the bank! :toast:

3 TC Yes votes
1 TC Conditional Yes vote by Ripper (as long as CHI-NHL released Pacioretty to FA once the player's contract expires)

Ready for processing.
