Trade proposal

[KBF]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Blazers are in need of another 20 year old and I think a guy like Rome would fit in nicely in the ol blue and orange.


Last year was atrocious in terms of scoring and with the addition of Versteeg Rome would be a pleasant addition to this team.


How bout....


To the Rebels

Ray Macias
Brock Nixon
2nd pick

To the Blazers

Aston Rome
Jared Walker

HA HA good joke !!! hahaha i cant believe that.. you think sutter would ship Rome and Walker.. What is wrong with you.. HAHAHAHAHA

[RDRebelsfan]

that almost seems like it could work out to be an even deal.

here's why?

Rome is 20...only had 19G 27A
Walker is 19 had 13G 9A

Then Sutter gets a 2nd round pick
A D man Ray Macias is 19......a D man who had 12Goals and 35 Assists and wa sa -15...due to being on a crappy team.
Brock Nixon is only 18...4 goals 7 assists, 11 pts


I'd take this trade.

Why?

Simple after this yr Rome is gone, we still have the 2nd round pick, Macias (unless he signs pro) and Brock Nixon.

Thing is...I doubt Kamloops would do this, but if it was proposed I'd take it.

[Shinyshoes]

I disagree...

In My opinion, our defence is in better shape than our offence. If you look at who the Rebels have to consistantly put the puck in the net this year, we have Wick, Rome........and you could maybe put Walker and Knackstedt in that catagory. After that we have a lot of guys who can score, but dont look like they will do it consistantly this season.

With Mihalik, Kurceba, and Hanson Obviously Ahead of where Macias would be, He would be a 4-5th defenceman at best.

On top of that, Loosing Rome and Walker up front for a pick and Nixon, We would be hurting pretty bad up front.

I cant see Sutter trading 2 of our top 5 Scoring Forwards for a 4-5th defenceman and a 2-3rd line centerman.

Cant see this trade happening.

[Courtney08-]

thank you.. i dont see sutter trading two of our top scorers..!

[D.A.]

Rome is only one of our top scorers if he stays. And if he does stay, we lose Moore, so you have to take that into account as well. I'm not sure if that makes it a good trade or not, but it doesn't seem so ridiculous to me, at least.

[Shinyshoes]

I didnt say it was ridiculous, I just say I cant see it happening. Even though he has had a very strong pre-season, I still think unless Rome Doesnt come back to the rebels, Moore is on his way out. Too bad, because he has turned into a very strong defenceman, but our goal scoring prowress is too weak to let Rome go.

On the flip side of that, however, I was very surprised at Walker's name in the rumors. I think he is set to have a breakout year, and will be a top name on our team.

I could see Rome being traded for a 19 year old Forward, but not a defenceman. He certainly isnt in-expendable

[frontrow fan]

I wasn't overly impressed by either player last season, Rome was to up and down, and Moore, well....the whole Defensive core was out shadowed by Phaneuf... Moore has come to camp this year ready to play...in good shape and from everything people have said is really making strides to improve his game. I haven't heard the same about Rome. Yeah, he can score, but who's to say he'll do it on a regular basis.. Shaden would be my pick to stay...just because Rome is to up and down. We need consistancy up front!!! JMO....
Cannot wait for this season to start!!!!!!!!!

[D.A.]

Shiny - you're right in saying that our D core is strong, but the fact of the matter is we have way more forwards that can play at this level right now than D-men. Heck, we don't even have enough to fill out a playing roster yet. Either a forward is going to have to move back, or we need to trade for a defenceman at some point.

Yes, I agree that we DO Still need to aquire some additional Defence somewhere, however getting back to the topic of this thread, I dont think getting a 4-5th line Defenceman and a 2nd-3rd line forward for 2 of our top forwards is the answer, with or without the suggested pick.

There are definately trades in the works, but in my eyes, this is not one of them
