For bolded => How exactly did you come to that conclusion? That makes no sense. If Backlund is exposed and Seattle chooses to take Kylington or something that's their mistake
As for Burns, I have no issue with Seattle acquiring him as I can see it happening but they definitely won't do it for free.
That’s actually the gist I’ve been getting from a handful of Calgary fans elsewhere (not here on capfriendly, I only use this site about once or twice a week).
Obviously you would strongly disagree with them haha, and I wouldn’t make a big argument against your side. But that highly influenced my thoughts on the Flames’ view of Backlund.
Victor Rask? Lol what does he have to do with any of this?
If you mean that’s the type of guy Seattle has to take to get a 1st from Minnesota as opposed to Soucy.... I can’t say a 3rd is enough to get them to take Soucy over Greenway. If you’d rather part ways with Greenway over Soucy + a higher draft pick then that’s all fine, but I don’t think I’ve seen one Minnesota fan on this site who’d be cool with losing Greenway for nothing.
Yes, that's what I meant.
Viktor Rask => Cap Dump/Bad Contract => 1st
I don't know who you've talked to either, but the bottom line is losing Greenway for free, while it would suck and hurt, hurts less than coughing up a 1st rounder for them to take Soucy instead.
We can afford to lose Greenway. We can afford to lose Soucy. Right now, it would hurt most if we lost Talbot due to how he's played all year, and the calming presence he's brought to us in between the pipes. It's true, Greenway has been great this year, but his strong start has cooled off significantly the past two weeks and is close to slipping back to being the inconsistent player that got chewed out by Guerin this off-season.
By value Greenway is worth a low 1st. Soucy a mid to late 2nd. You're essentially telling Minnesota fans that we have to overpay in order to keep Greenway for a 1st + 2nd.
Right, sure... that infinitely makes more sense than just letting Seattle take Greenway. Glad we're on the same page now....
