NHL Trade Rumors

24 Sep 2020 15:44:28
Not sure if these are supposed to be our own ideas, but I heard a part of this on the radio then thought more about it.

Blues are apparently comfortable in the $8Mx8YR for Pietrangelo but don’t want massive upfront bonuses.

He’s RHD, they already have Parayko and Faulk signed long term there.

Their LHD is weaker.

Long time STL assistant GM Bill Armstrong just got the GM job in ARI and is apparently taking calls on all players over 25yrs old.

OEL is LHD, a year younger than AP, already signed to $8.25M for the next 7 years and only owed $9M bonuses total over that contract.

Bill Armstrong would know the Blues prospects better than anyone else in the league to work out a trade and the Blues would get a similar player to AP but on the side that’s more needed for them, already signed to their ideal contract.

To me it makes a ton of sense to explore if AP walks as a UFA.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Blues do not need or wsnt oel.

Colt a Blues fan? Or just saying?

And do you want to keep AP or fine with him walking?

24 Sep 2020 18:44:41
Colt is the blues GM. I don’t think it’s a bad idea but St. Louis may need to address some scoring depending on the health of Tarasenko.

Toronto17 -okay, good to know that about Colt! makes sense that D isn’t their top priority. I just thought it made sense to spend same money/ term on similar age D on the side they needed it more than Pietrangelo. Like I said though, wasn’t really my idea but found it compelling.

Can the Sens offer you enough assets to acquire the wilds 9th overall pick?
Start off with 28th pick, 33rd, L.Brown...etc

3rd overall (stutzle/byfield)
5th Raymond
9th Askarov
Pipe dream I know.
I feel the wild would be open to offers on that pick more then other teams. Maybe provide cap relief also.

Like to see what you would offer up for the 9th pick?

Apparently Wild were very interested in Kapanen before he was dealt to Penguins. A must for the leafs in the trade was a 1st rounder. It was reported Bill Guerin said they’re getting younger and that pick was not up for grabs, so Leafs got 15th+ a prospect from Pens instead.

Obviously for the right package (especially a pkg of young players) his mind could change, but I really don’t think they want to trade that pick.

But who Really knows?

Ottawa doesn't need the 9th, and they aren't going to rob their prospect pool to get it. They have 3 and 5 already.

The only way a Laine deal gets done is if the Jets get three main pieces in return: proven top 6 F or top 4 D, top prospect/ young rookie and a first round pick. Here are my proposals:

MTL: Suzuki, Domi, 1st around Pick 2020
WPG: Laine

Or

NYI: Dobson, Nelson, 1st Round Pick 2021
WPG: Laine

Or

NJ: Severson, Zacha, 1st Round Pick 2020
WPG: Laine

Or the one exception could be LA:

LA: 2nd Overall Pick 2020, Kaliyev
WPG: Laine, 3rd Round 2021

Thoughts???

Habs definitely decline.

23 Sep 2020 23:10:41
I think if you change that to Domi + Kulak + Poehling + 2021 1st round pick for Liane. Bergevin already said he will not trade Suzuki, KK or Romanov.

23 Sep 2020 23:45:18
The Jets don't want to trade either Ehlers or Laine so give it a rest already.

24 Sep 2020 00:02:51
Habs say no, they’re not deep in center to trade away arguably their best young center. NyI says no, they’re a defensive team and boychuk is getting older, Dobson is more valuable to them than liane would be, liane wouldn’t fit their system at all. Barzal could put up way more points if they played more offensive game but they aren’t coached/ built for that style. Kings say no, they’re rebuilding and if they draft stuzle or byfield they’re getting a very good prospect with contract controllability (if that’s a word) .

24 Sep 2020 01:33:52
Domi with his contract situation makes the first one a no from Winnipeg.


Nelson being 29 would make him a no go in that deal.

Zacha is unneeded by Winnipeg, so that makes that deal a no.

I don't see the Jets trading Laine for a single pick, so I think that would rule that one out.

24 Sep 2020 01:34:19
Mtl says NO WAY!

24 Sep 2020 14:32:24
If I’m GM of each of those teams, I consider it in New Jersey, but they pick 7th and I’d be reluctant. That’s about it though. Others are No’s.

24 Sep 2020 14:34:03
@ctc55 jets don’t want your garbage😂😂😂 all fourth liners and third pairing d for 30 goal scorer in his first 40 years😂😂😂.

24 Sep 2020 16:40:08
Makes no sense for habs to trade a center for a winger

24 Sep 2020 21:54:44
@ bruhtrades
1 Domi has a Ppg of 0.64 Ehlers who is apparently a top line winger has a ppg of 0.66 so in an 82 game season that’s a difference of 3 points not to take into account that Ehlers has played on higher scoring teams than Domi during there whole career. So I’d say he’s a top 6 C/ W
2 Winnipeg has no potential top 6 C prospect and most scouts and analysts predict Poehling to become a well rounded top 6 C
3 Kulak has good value as a 4-5 D and with Winnipeg not having many proven NHL D on there roster and not many free agency plus with a small cap hit he could be a nice sweetener
4 Habs bet on themselves to be better similar to how Vancouver did with the Miller trade

The only player to not have good value in this is Kulak and he is more a sweetener for a position that Winnipeg is short on and Habs have an abundance of.

Mtl danault-mete- 2nd pick (chicago) 2020

Sj- kane

23 Sep 2020 23:41:34
It what work do you live in? Never would Bergevin or any GM give all that for Laine. Suzuki is going to become MTLs number one center in another so distant future. And you want to give a top 4 D, a first rounder and a prospect LOL sorry to say this but you are in need of some clinical assistance.

24 Sep 2020 02:24:13
Not that bad but, I'm sure the habs would rather keep Danault and their 2nd round pick
