Brett Parnham Traded?

Why the heck isn't the gens trying to get a few of these players. A couple of the boys picked up were for a song in Peterborough. We could use them here in Gens land. I think it's time to get some of these lads before they are all gone to other teams. If it's a western or central team. Use Parns as trade bait and get the best deal we can. Without using a bunch of draft picks to go with. Ask for a good and fair trade. Like I said in a prevoius post I hate to see him go. BUT. Ugens if in fact Bret doesn't want to play for us.( Ive heard this from more than one source) Is it not better to accomadate him and get someoe who will play for us. I would hate to see somethig rock the cart now. When they are looking like a team MOST of the time. They have to learn to play 60 minutes.

Does Brett have a no trade clause or do these clauses even exist for oa's?

I believe some players have "no trade" agreements or restrictions on where they can be sent. I think Tavares possibly had something like this or a "preferred list" if the former stronger option has not been agreed to between the team and player.

UGENS

I thought Brett was looking to move to another team , you are

right - it would be GREAT if he stayed to mentor our youth

BUT if his HEART is not in the SHWA - then what you gonna do

This injury happened in early September so his return should

be soon

I don't think Barrie is an option - traded a lot of picks already

I would like Skinner - in Kitchener plus a pick and 1 of

their O A

We DON'T need pick's we have alot of them we need body's.

Ther is no way you are going to get Skinner in a trade for Parnham. He was a first rounder albeit 20th overall and racks up the points. Call him untouchable. I'll eat my mukluks if we could ever obtain him in a swap.

We could still use some picks as we traded our 2011 2nd to Plymouth (and now to Barrie) and our 2010 2nd (from London) so we only have one pick in those two second rounds as far as I can ascertain, so we are not "loaded" with picks as some think.

get some picks and a roster player if we can. Keep the system going so we're not always rebuilding, but re-tooling like London and Kitchener always seem to be.

I heard that Dips is in talk with an unnamed team concerning a four player deal involving Parnham. Don't expect to see him back in a Gens uniform!!

source?

Sent ya a PM archer!

You gain more credibility and respect from fellow users by putting all sources in the public space.

Well, if it's just someone speculating like that rumour out of Kitchener, it doesn't mean much. If it's leaked from someone in the know within the team office it may have some credibility.

thanks rad

It would be best to state - speculation - but sending out messages to some posters is not the way to send info

I would not be suprised if 1 of our Def was involved

We need an impact O A that can put the puck in the net plus a 2nd pick

If i was speculating i'd say a trade of Dehann, Parhnam and Bailie, might be the best thing at the deadline.... if Zador is going to play all the games Cooper might as well be riding the pine.... if we are serious about a memorial cup run then the other two who will not be here next year need to go.

I dunno if Hayes or Diesel will get enough to send them packing

heres hoping DeHaan is here next year. Without him the mem cup run looks a little bleak

i wish he'd be back next year 2

Good ideas but it might not be wise to trade all our overagers! I think Dehaan should return next year to"bulk up" a tad although his puck handling skills are impressive..very comparable with Del Zotto's.

I would rather see the Gens keep Parnham, trade some of their picks and players who are not working out and bring in some qualified players who will give us a chance to go a couple of rounds in the playoffs. Look at the Conference. It would not take much to get into 1st in our division which would give us a chance to play 3 rounds and then you never know.

In the last 2 weeks, Peterborough have brought in 2 qualified OHL players in an 89 D and a 90 F who will help them NOW... not next year...

Keep Thomas, Jenner, Brown, Hayes on F
Keep DeHaan, Dehart, Valentine on D
Keep one of our goalies and bring in a Vet to help

Do that and we are not bad.. we have a lot of picks that are valuable to some teams who will have some players they want to part with. We throw in some spare parts and we have a hope.

I am sorry but I am sick and tired of the rebuilding theme... We had Tavares and Del Zotto (2 players who are in the NHL now) and we were rebuilding instead of adding ...
Next year - we probably lose Dehaan.. so another piece is gone...

Why are we always rebuilding?? Yes Sellwood put us in this situation but let's move on and start thinking about winning NOW!!!!

The rumour mill is running around the GMC centre these days...Parnham is skating and practicing with the team BUT NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE WHAT IS GOING ON! I believe Parnham may want to be move to a contender for a couple of reasons.....maybe he feels he does not fit in with all the roster changes made this year....maybe he want to go somewhere where he is the "go to" guy....and maybe cause all his "buddies" have move on and he is pretty much the last guy standing.
That all being said....the gennies will most likely want a forward with some O expirence and a higher draft pick....it is what it is.....this is parnham OA year so time is running out but at least the gennies are in the drivers seat once again.

Thoughts/comments?

Hey guys, I'd like to share my source, but I don't want to risk him or myself getting in trouble. What I can say though, he works in the Generals front office.
