Would you trade the 17th overall pick for Cory Schnieder?

I done spelled bad. Not fixing it

Throw Johnny in for Hall while you're at it. I want a Flame who is a finisher and has a deep hatred of the Oilers for the next 10 years.

Given that the original trade proposal appears to be premised on Treliving having compromising photos of Ray Shero and a prostitute, why give up Johnny? Stajan for Hall ought to do it.

I would trade my 17th for Schneider. The guy is one of the most underrated goalies in the NHL. Definitely a keeper.

I would trade Jonny for hall without much hesitation.

First of all, if Jonny isn't creating scoring chances, he's not doing anything. He literally brings one thing to the table & that's it. Offence. He's not going to win puck battles, he's not good on the wall, he can't hit, can't fight, can't take face offs. He's the Phil housley of our era.

Hall is a much more complete player and only one year older. Both players would probably welcome a trade closer to home anyway. Plus a motivated Taylor hall going against the Oilers 4-5 times a year would be amazing.

It's not like I don't like Jonny, it's because at some point I think it's highly likely he ends up back is the NE states. Might as well get on with it.

Taylor Hall is not, and never will be, the kind of player you build championship teams around. He'd be useful as a supplement to an already high calibre core, but we aren't that team. Acquiring him would be a waste of time.

It will be cheaper to trade for a goalie who is part of a tandem and expansion eligible.

The great myth of this draft is that it is weak. It's not. It just doesn't have as good as the top end as some of the recent drafts. Meaning there is no Eichel, Mathews, Liane, McDavid but there's not much separation between the mid range this year vs others.

There is no discernible difference between 17th last year vs this year.

[savemedrzaius]

17th overall in a WEAK draft is going to get you one of the best goalies in the league.

Yeesh. Must be nice to live in your world.

[getoverit]

No brainer but in no world would that happen lol

Prett sure the OP means as part of a package.

Flames have exactly that core. I absolutely see him as a complementary piece.

Pure speculation. First sentence is total nonsense.

Isn't hall the third highest scoring LW behind only ovechkin & Benn over the last 3-4 years? Seems pretty elite to me.

If Jonny is not a offensive force, I'm not sure if you can even put him on he ice. The ducks have shown he can be nullified, and he has looked intimidated. He's not reacting, he's thinking too much & the ducks have gotten to him.

If I were Flames management I would be questioning if this what to expect moving forward.

[Kjesse]

Long term goalie contracts are the riskiest. They can go from zero to hero and back again multiple times in their careers.

For a 17th overall and given the length and price of the contract, I'd probably do it but would be very reluctant just because of the term. A shorter term would make his contract more enticing IMHO.

[Mass_nerder]

Is Schneider seriously 31?
I still have this idea that he's a young goalie

Forgot to laugh.

Let me put it this way: If the Oilers don't trade Hall, they aren't in the playoffs now. Trading Gaudreau for him would leave us a weaker team.

Not at the expense of Gaudreau that would be an awful trade.

Again, you're first sentence is based on nothing. What else does your crystal ball have to say?

At least your second sentence provides an opinion.

This is the same Gaudreau who put up 9 Pts in 11 games his first go around... he has 2 through 3 this year which matches his first playoff pace. He had a step back year apparently but was on pace for his same totals from two years ago where he was a Calder finalist. Can't wait to see when Marner struggles for the first time just how leafs nation and their irrational media handle it; it will be hilarious no doubt. I love when fans of other teams come into this forum all high and mighty when their respective teams finally have something to gloat about cough Oilers cough Leafs. Pretty much every leafs fan rooted themselves out of it and are now saying they are 'shocking' the hockey world... it's Washington, this has happened before and getting down to it we lost all 3 1 goal games, could have easily gone the other way just like T.O. Being up 2-1 could easily have been a 3-0 deficit or lead for them. Perspective is something that is increasingly lacking in the sport from the fan and media bases sometimes, Calgary has played good - has in fact dominated at points of this series but when you look at the goals that lead to the demise.. it's just been u fortunate luck at the worst times.

Gaudreau is going no where and has proven to be a major piece to Calgarys already young but impressive core, to trade him would be to take a step back and there is no point to that.

I'm not counting us out yet, right now I know how the Kings felt before storming back against the sharks.

Boom goes the duckomite.
