Thank you for pumping his tires. I hope we get even more from trading him!!!
It's funny though, he sounds a LOT like Weegar but, I do not think he is as good as Weegar and if Weegar were traded, I think Whitecloud will start to look worse and worse with the added responsibility and reduced support.
Trading Whitecloud makes too much sense. He has a smaller cap hit, he has no trade protection, and he is looking really good right now.
Weegar on the other hand has a much bigger cap hit and full trade protection.
I think it is easy to trade Whitecloud and get good value on him after showcasing him playing an average of 23 minutes per game with the Flames. Quick bidding war with no special considerations and off he goes! I think he could get a 1st based on playing top 4 minutes and having 2 seasons of term after this one for under $3M.
