dlbalr Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Friedman and Dreger are both reporting something's up with the Habs and Arizona, believed to be Tinordi involved. Quote
dlbalr Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 And John Scott is apparently involved. Oh boy... Hopefully that's just to balance the salary portion. Or, better yet, an ESPN reporter making a joke. Quote
Habinator33 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 As the trade is being worked out all I will say is that I will be rooting for Tinordi in Arizona. Held his head high all season even though i'm sure it was a very tough spot for him. Quote
lazy26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 They can't trade Scott! It'd ruin the All-Star game! Quote
dlbalr Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Stefan Elliott - who just cleared waivers today - is also heading Montreal's way apparently. Quote
lazy26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Lol someone has edited Scott's wikipedia page already Quote
lazy26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 This is the darkest timeline... Minus the scantily-clad Alison Brie... 1 Quote
dlbalr Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Stefan Elliott - who just cleared waivers today - is also heading Montreal's way apparently. ...and is now apparently on the move elsewhere. Just after I finished a write-up about him for the inevitable trade write-up. Yay for a 3-way trade? Quote
lazy26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Now they're saying that Elliot is being flipped already? Quote
habs rule Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Really? this is our big trade? John scott? you have to be kidding me. Quote
Habsfan Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Please tell me there's something else brewing. WTF are we supposed to do with John Scott!?!?!?! Quote
lazy26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Really? this is our big trade? John scott? you have to be kidding me. He's an All-star forward! He's big! Our problems are solved! Quote
dlbalr Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Really? this is our big trade? John scott? you have to be kidding me. Arizona is a cheap, budget team. If they're taking on $850,000 in salary on a depth guy, they'd want to clear some salary going the other way. Enter Scott, a player who can be buried in the minors with no cap penalty and the Habs can afford to pay him a one-way ticket in the minors. That way they can offset some of the money which makes them able to fit the trade into their budget. Victor Bartley from Nashville appears to be Montreal's 'other piece' in the trade. I prefer Elliott, to be honest. Quote

Trizzak Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Seriously, we were better off waiving Tinordi. Quote
lazy26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Victor Bartley from Nashville appears to be Montreal's 'other piece' in the trade. I prefer Elliott, to be honest. Same, based on what I've read in the last 10 minutes. Maybe there's a 5th round pick involved? Quote

I know MB did not want to lose Tinordi for nothing but really maybe that was a better option. What is the point of trading a guy for someone we can hide in the minors? Quote
dlbalr Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 Same, based on what I've read in the last 10 minutes. Maybe there's a 5th round pick involved? Bartley's the prototypical stay at home, physical blueliner. Maybe they preferred that over a right handed Barberio? Seems kind of odd. What is the point of trading a guy for someone we can hide in the minors? Depth. If Barberio isn't going back (a possibility now), Bartley replaces him (at least in body, not stylistically) and gives them a veteran they can call on if injuries strike. No one on the current IceCaps roster is even remotely close to NHL ready. Quote

PMAC Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I knew that Tinordi's value was low, but #@*!&@))@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can now say what I never had to about an MB trade before: this trade SUCKS! We need scoring and we get John Scott? ARRRRRRRRAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

No one on the current IceCaps roster is even remotely close to NHL ready. Seems like a lot of work just to get a Tinordi-esqe player that can report to the minors. I'm hoping this is a precursor to a bigger trade, in which we needed an NHL roster spot... or is Gilbert due back soon? Quote
