SterioDesign Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Gaudreau - Zacha - Palmieri JVR - Henrique - Jost Boucher - Zajac - wtv Blandisi - Josefson - Sislo just bring all the boys home and i could live with this formation in a few years would you guys do Schneider for Gaudreau straight up?

And have who as our starting goalie? It's not that the deal is unfair really, it's just that it doesn't really put us in any better of a situation. The offense would be improved, but to have any shot at the playoffs, we'd still need a capable goalie, and none of our other options, Kink or Wedge, are built or ready to handle a full season's workload and carry a team into the playoffs. It would be a pretty lateral move if you ask me. The only benefit being I guess that Gaudreau is younger, whereas Schneider realistically has 3-5 years left in his prime.

Cause the situation now in NJ is... we have absolutely no scoring, god knows if we'll get a lot more / enough in the next few years... then we have a top goalie in his prime. So are we gonna burn through all of those prime years for Schneider by the time we have some legit scoring that could back him up? Or we want to be successful ever again... who should we surround? Schneider or Zacha? That's actually a real good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far from a lateral move, and Calgary would never go for it. You need one goalie. That's it. You sign for it, trade for it, it doesn't matter. You're not stuck with Kink and Wedge, because you're allowed to bring new players into the organization. Schneider has a few good years left and Gaudreau is in the dawn of what could shape up to be a fantastic career. If Calgary went for that, there's not one doubt you take it.

A fourth line of Blandisi, Josefson, and Sislo would leave the arena each night having lost their lunch money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo really didn't give up a ton for him, so they don't have the same reluctance that Toronto had to trade Kessel for all those years.

Jerzey Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 At this point I think some threads should be merged into one Off Season type of thread. We have similar conversations going on in at least two threads. Sorry to be like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
