Well, we dodged an atomic bomb on that one.

...we would have just bought him out ourselves and would have got the 12th overall pick for it.

Why did we dodge a bullet?

Likely he would have been bought out. Essentially ownership would have bought another pretty decent 1st round pick.

That sounds like exactly the trade I'd like to see made as a Flames fan.

We would've gained the 12th pick in the draft for cash. Not a bad try.

I would guess it would have been to get the pick and then buy out Ribiero themselves

From Dreger saying "Ribeiro wouldn't waive" I think that implies Arizona has agreed to the terms. Damnit all. 12th overall would have been great.

To get the 12th and Riberio we probably would have been giving up a good player/prospect or two in order to make the deal. You guys don't think we were just giving up magic beans for him right?

Giving up two more sure things for a player to be bought out and a draft pick doesn't seem like great asset management to me.

Yeah, the Flames almost paid for the 12th overall pick in cash. That would have been brilliant!

Yeah when I read that, I thought this is Maloney telling the other GMs: don't say I didn't warn you

Not only was he buying Ribiero out, but he felt the need to warn the other GMs so that they didn't accidently walk into the same situation.

He might get a 'reclamation project' opportunity at some point, but my guess is he's done and off to Europe for now.

I think you are reading too much into it. No mention of "good player/prospect" involved.

Apparently you were privy to details of the tentative deal?

I don't think you get what was going on with this apparent proposed trade. Huge jump to assume we would have had to give that up on a player that was just bought out, Coyotes were looking to save cash and cap space, it's all about what they were willing to pay in assets to do it. Flames were in the drivers seat there, too bad it didn't pan out.

There is no way the Coyotes would have lost their first round pick just to get rid of a problematic player.

They just ordinary bought him out to get rid of him, taking cap hit to do it, I wouldn't be so sure.

IMO probably the only thing going back to Phoenix was #34. Maybe a B/C prospect too

It cost the Coyote ownership group $12 million.

I don't have that much money but have a feeling they might be willing to give up the 12th overall pick in exchange for $12 million.
