The Kessing Booth line Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 To Chi- Cory Schneider Mason Raymond 2013 3rd To Van- David Bolland Nick Leddy Ray Emery Chicago gets what they really need, an elite goalie to play with Kane/Toews/Hossa/Sharp/Keith/Seabrook for the next decade, and some nice speed and skill with Raymond. Van gets Bolland, a 3rd line C who can step up to 2nd line C when needed, Leddy a budding top 4 D who could play with Ballard this year, and Emery who'd be capable backup to Lu. Thoughts?

logic Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 lol. If Chicago gets CS they will become a dynasty team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Bolland? What are you thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kessing Booth line Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Bolland is exactly what this team needs, a gritty, good on the PK, good at faceoffs type guy. Also scores and puts up points. Load up at C like Chi did when they won the cup in 2010. Leddy would be a huge piece on the blue line for now and in the future.

How the west was won Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This trade is one sided for Chicago, even without the star goalie right now they are monsters. Also, Nick Leddy being a top 4 dman isn't all that attractive for van when they already have, basically, 3 second pairings. I like the idea of Bolland coming in to play on the 3rd line but that trade puts Chicago at a huge advantage while just producing a little more grit for the canucks without replacing the scoring lost by giving up raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Fair value wise, but after whats gone on between Bolland and the Canucks I can't see us making a move for him (though I would love to have him). Plus as everyones mentioned, even though it makes us a little better, it has the potential to make Chicago absolutely unstoppable if Schneider brings his A game for them.

The Kessing Booth line Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I believe if Chi did this trade and played Van in the playoffs this year Van would win. CS is a relatively unproven goalie at this point(especially in the playoffs), also having Bolland would allow Kesler to play against weaker opposition as AV would match Bolland up against Chi's best players(Toews,Kane,Hossa,Sharp) making Kesler more effective offensively. We saw it in 2011 vs Nash, SJ, and Boston with Manny on the 3rd line. Bolland would be a better version of Manny that would contribute more offensively.

Pears Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I doubt Bollands past shots at the Sedins would have any impact on whether Van would be interested in him or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kessing Booth line Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 So by your logic, Montreal would be interested in trading for Chara, Buffalo would inquire about Lucic, and Gillis is working his phones to try and get Marchand.

allkill326 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 One squabble in the media between arch rivals means they hate eachother? Pretty sure the Sedins would be all for having a player of Bolland's calibre on our 3rd line instead of a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I say yes because it would make a Conference finals between Van - Chicago better than the SCF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferlands_Head Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Vancouver would not trade one of their star goalies to a rival team unless Chicago overpays which they won't considering how they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferlands_Head Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't think MG will be absolutely blown by the prospect of acquiring Bolland and a bit more enough to trade Schneider to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palindrom Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ray Emery have a greater saves % than Schneider. and A stanley cup finals experience. why would Chicago want a downgrade in goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
