8 RIDICULOUS FAN PROPOSED TRADES | BARDOWN PODCAST

With the Maple Leafs and Oilers eliminated from the playoffs, Corwin, DZ and Jesse take a look at some 'interesting' trades created by fans. McDavid to Chicago anyone?

[@danielzakrzewski.bardown]

What are some trade suggestions you all have? 🤔 we’ll go through and comment on them!

DeBrincat for Nylander plus picks

[@tiger5869]

I really love the Oilers-Blue Jackets proposed McDavid trade if the Oilers commit to reloading by trading Draisaitl for young talent as well... my proposal is as follows: To NSH: Draisaitl To EDM: Johansen, Askarov, 2023 1st (EDM) Preds straight upgrade and try to contend next season at the price of a first and a potential backup, Oilers get a goalie prospect and their own first back (teams seem to love trading to get their own picks back for some reason). Seems right for the timelines of the teams in a McDavid has been traded world.

[@nobuddy2012]

I always love to read fan proposed trades. They usually comprise of "hey, let's package all our crap and albatross contracts together for their superstar".

Recently, a news article calculated the odds of no Canadian teams winning the Stanley cup since 1992, and it is around 0.5% chance. There were more likely to be 10 Canadian Stanley Cups in that period, than none. Like anything in life, it's a complex issue, with multiple explanations of varying effect. However, multiple changes made to the league under Bettman's ownership have had ad negative impact on Canadian Cup success. It's past the point of coincidence

[@carolinacaniac20]

Canadian teams have made it to the finals and lost, the Conference Finals and lost, Bettman doesn’t have a thing to do with Canadian teams just not being able to win it all since 1993 there’s just not as many teams in Canada so it’s harder when half of them suck compared to half the US teams sucking

[@thechefmike]

That would be true if Bettman wasn't friends with Molson, Tannabaum and now Andluare who he's known for years It's Canadas fault for Canada Failing

[@jakewhittle444]

[@Mega-rw8mt]

@@methodz2850 you gotta factor in the mental effect and all that the hockey culture in Canada has on the players, and also i remember that there's some tax thing that's in all of Canada and like half of the US that would make the players in teams in those areas ask for a bit more which would then negatively affect the cap situation, 2 of the teams that didn't have that tax thing were in the cup final, i don't think its a conspiracy against Canada or anything

It’s the pressure on the organization to get it done now. Other teams management don’t have to deal with a near 60 year championship drought, not St. Louis, no one, save for maybe the yotes but they have a slew of other problems to sort out before they decide it’s win now time.

I will never understand why people think the Hawks would trade the first overall, they just started a teardown rebuild, they don't want players in their prime right now because it makes no sense for the plan. They want picks to draft and develop the players they want in the next couple drafts for the future of their whole team. The whole reason they blew up the team was for a chance at Bedard/top five picks for a few years and so Davidson could create the team he wanted.

[@iLightSoundGeometry]

I’m not one of those people thinks they need to be traded or whatever. I love all three and think the core is solid, they just went cold at the wrong time. The real problem is our defence and inexperience in skinner, he will get better tho, great rookie season all things considered

@@tmillerrr8355 Yeah for sure, none of those guys were good this playoffs, which is insane, cause they were all fantastic last year in the playoffs. Definitley seems like we had a lotta shit luck with injuries this year which is unfortunate timing. And yeah, hopefully Holland is smart and upgrades the D in the off-season. I'm okay with ekholm-nurse-kulak on the left but our right side needs a ton of work. If Campbell has a better season too and builds up trust, maybe him and Skinner can share the workload next playoffs, which will help cause I think his biggest problem was that he was overworked.

We're talking like 6 million people: if there are a million retired people, that's still only like 16-17% of it 🤷 A million people is more than most metro areas, so yeah.

Ottawa doesn't seem to realize that they are only 2 pieces away from the playoffs,but won't part with the pieces necessary to get them. This is an example Josh Norris and Shane Pinto for Elias Lindholm and Backlund plus a 2nd to 3rd.Another Travis Hamonic,Lassi Thomson and a negotiated pick for Brandon Carlo a 6 5 220 pound right shot d man.Or with the same d men Hamonic,Thomson and a pick for Weegar.

Frees up 22 million to bring in some top Free agents or seperate trade for high priced veteran like Karlsson for 4 years. They could literally ice a better team next season and be loaded with a couple stars that don’t have to be paid until Tavares contract ends. Awesome deal. No rebuild but retool.

[@richardbas7574]

@Jeffrey Cairns what about the 23 million thay will be spent to replace them??? Does thY not count. Foolish comment. Not only can they be replaced but they get 2 potential stars that cost nothing. Marner can walk in 2 Years and mathews 1 year. Best return for them is cap space and top prospects

[@richardbas7574]

@Jeffrey Cairns get the one and two pick and let's say sign Kane, Toews, O'Reilly and Horvat to 2 to 3 year contracts. Still no playoffs. They would be better.

[@jeffreycairns767]

@Richard Bas PROSPECTS!!!! Why would anybody trade a known good player for 1 people THINK will be good? It's 1 thing to just draft a potential star but it's another to trade for 1. There have been many players over the years that everybody expected to be great and turned out to be a bust, or atleast no where near what they thought.

[@richardbas7574]

@Jeffrey Cairns exactly true. We have 2 of them by the name of Mathews and Marner. This is a loaded draft. 2nd and 3rd picks overall are quite often sure things. Regardless 23 million in cap space is far more valuable than players who score 0 goals in the playoffs. I don't think most of you truly understand how the Cap works. I know most of you do thinks so but you really don't. Just as our General Manager has little concept of.

Mix in some Habs trades next time boys

[@hockeyfreak92495]

Karlsson for JT… JT won’t waive his no trade clause though XD

[@nolankuffner3573]

Just to stir the pot.. Kopitar and Doughty with a 2nd this year and a 3rd next year.. McDavid and Yamamoto 😂

[@nolankuffner3573]

And let's be real: It's tons of extra depth on defense, the Oilers retain a ton of their offensive push, and both guys would probably just run out their contracts in Edmonton. Basically, you're going from one 150 point player (whose defensive acumen can sometimes come into question) for 140 points across two players where they've had tons of success but never had guys that were putting up Draisaitl or Nugent-Hopkins type numbers. In a win now mentality, I think Edmonton is actually further from a championship than Toronto (who needs to unload a top player to get better defensively), and Calgary (who were one good performance away from 10 more points aka 3rd and a spoiler). The guys they get aren't young and they aren't peak BUT they do shore up literally all of the weaknesses that the Oilers' attack first, defend if you feel like it mindset opens up. The team is trying to play 1986 Gretzky in a modern age. It's too regular season focused, too hopeful on average teams making a ton of mistakes.

I know this is mostly a Canadian audience but should’ve just called this the Edmonton Leafs fan trade proposals.

[@galkanftw]

The Leafs ahve always been in a real tough situation because they have a good team they have good skill but imo are just not quite the team to win the cup they need to bite the bullet and figure something out.

[@ngadam3126]

Probably a stretch but drai couls wanna play with seider...

[@HushPuppy106]

Dallas 1st in 2024 will most likely be 20th-32nd, so smart thing would be nah

[@mikeking9696]

He would go to the Habs lol 😂

[@Mrvegas6666]

The only player out of the core four I want out is JT and then we sign ROR who is ACTUALLY a captain....
