Everyone Loves Trade Proposals!

PrintI saw this article linked on Puck Daddy's Puck Headlines yesterday and gave it a click because I'd rather do anything than work. Hawks and Leafs Can Both Get What They Need. The premise of the article is really rather simple and made sense at the time. (Warning: more "bad contracts for firsts" talk.)
Huet would only have two years left on his contract which is set to pay him $5.6 million each season. He would be expensive but still could be an attractive option for the right suitor. The opportunity to trade Huet would become more likely if an interested party also has other available Hawks on their shopping list.
Ok I think we're on board here. Toronto takes "Oh" Cristobal Huet along with something we want and we'll give Chicago one of the Marlies girls or Leafspace Monika (your hair smells so good baby) or just a really nice photo of Brian Burke with "Thanks for the memories draft picks" written on it.
Burke’s draft pick cupboard is bare because of the acquisition of Phil Kessel, so he needs to accumulate selections to use in trades this summer. That will provide the opportunity for Hawks general manager Stan Bowman to swing a big deal with the Leafs.
Alright, yeah we get it. You give us a bad goalie (Huet has a .904 save percentage behind a good team, we're all set thanks) we give you cap space.
Huet could give the Leafs a legitimate, veteran starting goal tender and a mentor for Gustavsson. Burke could help the Hawks salary cap struggles and leverage another player or two from them which would immediately help his rebuilding cause.
Urm. Huet? Legitimate? Huet? Dental plan?
Point of order: I normally leave the comments on blogs alone because most people who comment on blogs are incapable of rational thought. Uh, except all of you guys (Jared excepted). Anyhow, the blog author does some heavy commenting that's pertinent to this particular train of crazy.
If Burke can accaumulate (sic) 2nd-4th round picks he can set himself up with a nice nucleus of young players from Chaicago (sic). Becasue (sic) a few of those here now won’t be next season.
In return the Hawks would want prospects/picks because they can not take back a lot of salary….and possibly Huet to go to Toronto as well.
Well that makes a ton of sense. Toronto would love to take someone's bad overpaid goalie along with a 2nd round pick in exchange for our prospects. Which prospects would they want though?
Viktor Stalberg and/or Christian Hanson could provide needed size and skill on the wing, should someone like Sharp be dealt. Nik Kulemin is another player with a suitable skill set. Ian White or Tomas Kaberle could be a fit on defense.
*record skip noise*
I'm going to propose an equally likely trade to their blog.
| Leafs Get | Hawks Get |
|
Chicago's 2010 1st Round Pick |
Subscription to Leafs TV Online 2 Free Burkie's Dogs |
This trade makes a lot of sense for both the Leafs and the Hawks. The Leafs want good players and prospects, while Chicago hot dogs are criminally overrated and their TVs don't show the Leafs (can you imagine?). Finally, I dislike Jamal Mayers and have included him out of the goodness of my heart.

My biggest gripe with the ‘new’ nhl is the lack of trades, the season just isnt as exciting without the possibility of player movement

Have they gone up or down in each year since the lockout?

I crunched some numbers over at Bitter Leaf last February.
In 2005-06, there were 35 regular season trades and an additional 35 trade deadline deals.
In 2006-07, there were 30 regular season trades and an additional 46 deadline deals.
In 2007-08, there were just 21 regular season trades and an additional 26 deadline deals.
I haven’t crunched the data since.
If you graph it, almost all deals go down at the draft or the trade deadline:
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
I was confused by this until I figured out that the post-deadline months of the season wouldn’t be on the x-axis.

she is really nice
i’ve told you guys before that i work at the ACC selling beer. when she was doing a promo for something or other i was on the stairs in that section, and i mentioned to her that she follows me on twitter. when i said my name, she was like “oh yeah, you won tickets to the leafs open practice right?”. good for her for bothering to remember.
also interesting side story, yesterday i was serving a guy a beer who had just arrived, and when monika came on screen at the ACC, he was like “is that monika ______ski?” and i said “yeah that’s her. she’s the Leafspace girl”. he said “no shit, i used to date her in grade 6”. small world. i believe him.
Is that the kid you want?
Oh I agree
It’s a little scary how many people think they can pick her up and she will love them forever cuz they both like the Leafs. Give me a break

I feel bad for her, and sincerely respect what must be a sometimes very difficult “not creeped out” facade to put on in the face of her booster club.

I think that it’s written that way because Burke has said that aside from a very select few untouchables – Schenn – anyone can be traded if the deal coming back is good enough.
Which is to say, noone expects there to be some sort of massive offer for Komisarek, so he’s likely to stay as he’s a Burke signing.

The ability to have cap space is only as good as your management’s ability to use those dollars on the right people.
Have the leafs made a UFA signing in the last 3-4 years that wasn’t “market value” at best?

You had to mention greyhound now that Chemmy has mentioned cutting off heads in this thread (below), didn’t you?
Moustache Fever, not to be confused with swine flu.
I took the greyhound to Toronto last summer and did not know about that story until the Canadian girl sitting next to me told me about it. Good way to start a 10 hour bus trip.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
Lol. I remember that there used to be adds above the urinals around my campus for greyhounds that said “there’s a reason there’s no such thing as bus rage”, implying you could relax…. they took them down about two days after the incident.

This trade makes a lot of sense for both the Leafs and the Hawks. The Leafs want good players and prospects, while Chicago hot dogs are criminally overrated and their TVs don’t show the Leafs (can you imagine?). Finally, I dislike Jamal Mayers and have included him out of the goodness of my heart.
Maybe it’s the four-game losing streak and the accompanying frustration talking, but that’s the funniest thing you’ve written this year. Don’t go getting all soft on us after you tie the knot.
