[News] Kerby Rychel asked for trade before season: CGY, ANA, DET, MTL, NYR, TOR interested

[Poe969]

Drafting lindros got the nordiques/avs forsberg+ and won them a few cups. The bj's should have just traded this kid ASAP before it got this bad.

Well gusss we should have shipped Gaudreau out then. Conroy mentioned several times the lengthy discussions he had with his parents, specifically his Mom to calm any fear or worries.

And the every increasing scrutiny with rapid social media

Seems like a pretty "meh" prospect.

[Samonadreau]

^agreed. If you can pick him up for a bargain go for it otherwise focus on a bigger fish.

His dad is a GM/owner of an OHL team (and played in the NHL for a long while).

And he traded his kid in his last year of junior.

Its not some random parent getting involved.

[PeteMoss]

And I don't get people going after the players in these situations. The team can trade the player whenever they want. Why is it such a crime for a player to ask for a trade? He's still playing and I haven't heard anything about his not giving his all.

I'd prefer Rychel over Drouin honestly. Not nearly as skilled but he has some key ingredients that make him better fit for the Flames. Namely he plays a tougher game but has some good finishing skill to compliment his grit. I feel he's a more skilled version of Ferland.

Sunday, 06.30.2013 / 9:54 PM / 2013 NHL Draft

The mood lightens when the Calgary Flames step up to make the sixth pick of the draft.

"I think this is it," Kerby Rychel says.

He's not talking about himself. He thinks this is where Monahan might get picked. When the Flames confirm his suspicions, the entire section, which includes members of Monahan's family, goes wild. Monahan's 94-year-old great-grandfather, Terry, even leaps to his feet.

"That's awesome," Kerby says.

In a perfect world, Rychel would play alongside his friend in Calgary. The Flames have the 22nd pick in the first round, so it's a possibility. But no one sees Kerby still being available then.

"Hey Kerby," Monahan's uncle Bob says. "Too bad you can't stick around until 22."

"That would be sick," Rychel says.

Make it happen!

I wonder of Rychel and Drouin would be asking for trades if they were in the wings system?

Haha, that was random. Probably not, I guess?

Eric Lindros had his parents Bonnie and Carl fight his battles causing the Flyers and Bobby Clarke a ton of headaches

Clarke also had issues with Lindros' parents.

He accused Carl and Bonnie Lindros of constantly meddling in the team's affairs.

He said Carl called him and insisted the team not trade for certain players for reasons ranging from the player doesn't pass the puck enough or Eric doesn't like the player's agent.

Good post but would have been better in the Drouin thread due to the Yzerman connection.
