PromoTheRobot Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 Lets not get all 'Two Bills Drive' up in here. Thread anarchy is not the way to go. Let's just have one thread called "Thread." That way we'll know where we can find any topic. Quote

Hoss Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 Philadelphia Flyers @NHLFlyers BREAKING: #Flyers have traded Kimmo Timonen to CHI for a 2015 2nd-round draft pick & a 2016 conditional draft pick → bit.ly/1GzH7rE Quote
Brawndo Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 '16 Pick becomes a 2nd based on these conditions Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 32s 33 seconds ago If CHI wins three rounds and Timonen plays in 50 per cent or more of games, it is a 2nd rounder in 2016. Quote

A third if Chicago wins two rounds. So two different ways it escalates. Quote
tom webster Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 A third if Chicago wins two rounds. So two different ways it escalates. I actually heard it's either a third if they win two rounds and he plays 50% or a fourth if both conditions are not met Quote
Hoss Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 I actually heard it's either a third if they win two rounds and he plays 50% or a fourth if both conditions are not met Both what I and Brawndo said. And what you said is also true. Fourth if Chicago blows a tire or Timmonen doesn't play. Third if he plays and they lose in the third round. Second if he plays and they win three rounds. Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Holy what? That's actually a big trade. Big name on D, but he's only a rental and he's not exactly healthy. Quote
Derrico Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 A little surprised philly trading their best dman while pushing for a playoff spot. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 A little surprised philly trading their best dman while pushing for a playoff spot. They kinda just seem like they're bad at tanking. Or they think Timonen is done enough for the season that he can't contribute. Quote
Hoss Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 Holy what? That's actually a big trade. Timonen may just be a name now. Hasn't played yet this year. Chicago is betting that he comes back strong... The trade was fully expected. Quote
Eleven Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Big name on D, but he's only a rental and he's not exactly healthy. Understood, but... A little surprised philly trading their best dman while pushing for a playoff spot. RIght. And then there's this: Timonen may just be a name now. Hasn't played yet this year. Chicago is betting that he comes back strong... The trade was fully expected. I'm sure every Chicago fan saw it coming. It was fully expected. Quote
Hoss Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 I'm sure every Chicago fan saw it coming. It was fully expected. Snark from you? SHOCKING. :p Timonen was expected to be traded... Quote
Tondas Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Sekera nets a 1+, 42 year old Jagr is traded for a 2+, Timonen who is 39 and hasn't even played all year lands a 2+. There's no way Stewart isn't worth a 1 to somebody in a competitive marketplace. There's no other rental RW that brings Stewart's size and skill. Is he inconsistent? Heck yes, but if he weren't he wouldn't be available as a rental in the first place. I like the way you think and hope you're right. Quote

Heck yes, but if he weren't he wouldn't be available as a rental in the first place. In terms of prospects we could expect I think we will be pleasantly surprised if GMTM asks for a prospect back in lieu of a #1. As we saw with Lemieux, kids in junior (unless they were top 10 picks) don't carry much more value than the pick that was used on them in the first place. The flame-out rate is so high that this is appropriate. If the Islanders for example decided they need another winger to replace Okposo right now they may cash out on someone like Josh Ho-Sang as part of a deal. They only have a very low #1 invested in him and his numbers are down this year. He still has more potential upside than Stewart in the long run but he's far from a lock to do anything at all in the NHL. As a low #1 (28th) you'd have to think his internal value to the club at this point would be less than say a Griffin Reinhart or a Michael Dal Colle who were top 5 picks or a Ryan Pulock who was a top 15 pick. I have no intel, I'm playing on the internet like the rest of you, but if I were Garth Snow Ho-Sang would be the kind of player that if a GM took a shine to him I'd pump his tires and get him out the door while he still has value. Maybe in 5 years I look stupid but the odds say probably not and if the guy I get in return gets me to the playoffs that alone will save my job for awhile. Good post. Keep 'em coming. Quote
