figured we might as well have a separate thread for all the ridiculous (and not so ridiculous) trade proposals that are sure to come with all the losing...
Here is an intriguing on to me:
Nemo, murray, and clowe to CGY for Backlund and a 1st rounder. The reasoning:
for the sharks: Griess has looked quite good, I think. He got lit up by CBJ, but he actually made a bunch of very solid saves early in the game to keep them in it. While he wasnt great, he also was pretty solid. He was excellent in his other two starts against ANA and COL. he was solid last year and the year before in his limited action. Furthermore, stalock and sateri seem to be doing well in the AHL. The sharks need to get much younger, especially up front and need to restock the farm. clowe and murray are UFA's-to be and I want neither back. I dont think the sharks need their physicality either in light of stuey's physical play and desi and others also able to fight. This will obviously hurt the sharks this year, but will help make the rebuild a whole lot faster.
for CGY: first, with kipper out, the flames are using 3rd and 4th string goalies. If they want a chance to make the PO's this year, they need to get some goaltending help. Nemo immediately solidifies the position for 3 years and comes at a very reasonable price tag. Clowe gives them a potential boost on a team with a thin offense and murray gives them a good defensive dman (or maybe we can make them believe that) wince giving up too many goals is a big problem for them. Basically it addresses all of their needs this year and with backlund out, they lose basically nothing this season. it's hurts their future, but with a team that asnt made the POs for 3 straight years, they;ve gotta be chomping at the bit to make a run.
Note: since the flames are acquiring some 10M in cap hit with only 725k going the other way, maybe the sharks would need to acquire some salary in return. perhaps anton babchuk and blake comeau come back as a salary dump.
