I'll play along.

McGinn to LA for a '17 2nd and Andy Andreoff.
Hanging Chad Johnson to SJ for Alex Stalock and a '16 4th (NYR)
Foligno and 4th acquired in Johnson trade to Florida for their '17 3rd and Dylan Olsen.
Legwand to St. Louis for their '17 4th.
(for 365), Patrick Wiercioch and Shane Prince to Buffalo for '16 3rd (DAL), '17 4th and William Carrier.


Cheers!

Edit-Purcell will be going to Kings so that will rule out a McGinn move there.

He was promising, but then just fell apart...
Idk why?
Maybe he had some personal stuff & he's finally gotten it straightened out?
Not sure

I just think any expectations for him are overrated bc
1) a much younger kid is producing on his level
2) the team wanted to replace him as the starter befor this season started

We all know predicting how goalies will turn out is basically guesswork at best
But I feel those 2 reasons I listed are a big cause for tempering any expectations for hi future

I'm not saying he sucks
Just that ppl are prob getting too excited about what he'll ever become

- jdfitz77


he fractured and seperated his shoulder. Don't just purely speculate that he became a bad goalie.

he only played 2 games his sophmore year. Then had to find his adjustments with a redone shoulder on a VERY BAD team his junior year. Yea they might have looked to replace him but again... I'd love to hear your PROOF that that was the case.

He has bounced back his Senior year to be a top goalie in NCAA right behind Thatcher Demko who was a 2nd round pick. Their S% is close yes.. but GAA of 2.35 and 2.16 are VERY different especially when the guy with the 2.16 has played 25 games compared to only 10 by the freshman.

You can have your opinion... but I also have the right to tell you how stupid/completely made up it is.

He plays for RPI a team that was god awful last year and not very good the year before, and he stole a playoff round win last year when they had no business beating Clarkson
- Stripes77

I don't think it would make Foligno overrated, I think it would mean that both are playing well and Bailey has a higher ceiling.

So with that, both goalies are playing well yet Hackett might have the higher ceiling. Just how I read into it.

Maybe "overrated" isn't the right word then...
But obviously u get my point

Not crazy about Andreoff as he is a bottom 6 guy it seems but hte 2nd is nice there.

Getting Olsen AND Wierioch as left handed young DMen seems like a dream... Prince Is going to be a VERy good top 6 player who is from Rochester, NY as well.

Could be a pipedream but man would it be nice to add those pieces.

If it's so "Stupid/completely made up"
Then why did RPI want to replace him as their starter?!

Take off your blinders sir

And stop being rude. It's uncalled for

They will more than likely not happen lol.

McGinn might get us a late 1st and a b prospect but hard to say with these rentals.

Wiercioch is expendable and a healthy scratch due to the Wideman signing and I think Prince seems to be on the outs there as well. Sens will watch their budget so maybe it's a fair deal.

RPI wasn't looking to replace him. They were looking for his replacement because they thought he was turning pro. That playoff series against Clarkson almost got him his first NHL contract but then he was traded to an organization full of goaltenders.

Winnipeg soured on him a bit because of his injury and he didn't bounce back as quickly. But as someone who watched and reffed a ton of college hockey before I moved down south RPI was a joke and he single handed stole a playoff round against a heavily favored Clarkson team.

Which makes it all the more concerning to me that they wanted to go in a different direction at Goalie.

I don't have faith in him, bc his own team didn't
Idk why that makes my opinion so wrong?
They all know him a lot better than any of us

I'm glad he's having a good season,
But I'm having tempered expectations about his future
Although, to some that means I think he's awful

I keep hearing that Anaheim wants McGinn bad.

They have very good D prospects in Theodore/Montour. Montour does shoot right though.

Noesen or Ritchie would be nice too but I think that Prince is better than both of them.

They thought he was turning pro. Read my last post.

I'm not saying he is a NHL goalie at all but he has not been outplayed by a freshman goalie that's for sure.

If the Hawks create cap space McGinn could go there. I think depending on Purcell, Weise, maybe a few others we'll see how this shakes out.

Don't side step my request.

Show me proof that RPI wanted to replace him and you can change my avatar to anything you want for a week. Show me proof of that.

Prove to me that you didn't make that up. Cold. Hard. Facts.
