NHL rumours 7

07 Oct 2019 01:40:20
to Winnipeg
Djoos

to Washington
Bitetto
7th

Washington is a bit tight against the cap and Bitetto is a small but meaningful decrease in salary while Djoos is a better defenseman, which the Jets need need need.

07 Oct 2019 02:42:39
I guess it isn't bad, but improving the bottom pairing won't really make much difference for the Jets.

07 Oct 2019 05:11:23
He has some pretty impressive AHL numbers. Surprised he didn’t get picked off waivers. I wonder if he’s traded he can follow in Schmidt’s foot steps.

07 Oct 2019 13:09:23
Mememarcus way Jets D has been playing he could be top pair.

07 Oct 2019 13:44:04
After just 3 games the Jets shouldn't do anything too rash as they will be trading from a point of weakness. Plus the Jets still haven't had their top d-men in the lineup yet. With Niku, Beaulieu, a health Morrissey and hopefully Buff in the lineup the Jets defense will be lot better and more reliable. In about 15 games the team should assess what they have and then make the proper moves. On this trade I like it but Maurice loves Bitetto so unfortunately I don't think it will happen.

Habs: Nugent Hopkins and Puljaarvi

Edm: Drouin,2 round pick, Lindgren, and Brook.

Any comments out there?

07 Oct 2019 02:15:29
Edm says no thanks. Pretty easily.

07 Oct 2019 02:54:05
Really yup? Rn Pul is worth to other teams probably about a 3rd maybe a 2nd. So you are saying Drouin plus brook is worth less than nuge who has 1 more year and will probably want 7+ million? Lindgren is a throw in and would be the 3 G on any team so I see no appeal for that. But tbh I think value is fair needs are what is off for both teams.

07 Oct 2019 05:14:00
Yeah CTC55, Drouin and Brook is a pretty easy no from the Oilers for Nuge IMO.

07 Oct 2019 05:20:31
No I’m more so saying Nuge is too valuable to the Oilers and they shouldn’t trade him for a winger in my opinion, a winger who gets less points too. I really want them to keep Drai Mcdavid and Kassian together and Nuge is a great second line Center and I hope him and Neal can develop some chemistry for some secondary scoring they need. I like Drouin, and would be awesome to get him to play with Nuge and Neal, But I wouldn’t trade. I’ve for him, nope. Futures don’t appease to the Oilers now either, their up and coming prospect pool is actually really promising.

07 Oct 2019 18:58:13
Ok that’s respectable and agree that Nuge and Drouin together would be insane. I just feel like Drouin doesn’t get enough credit on here with people saying he’s worthless almost and more wanted to hear a respectful reason why someone wouldn’t do a trade without fully trashing the other players.

07 Oct 2019 21:51:08
Agree with you CTC55 but I also agree Oilers should not trade RNH unless a team overpays for him.

08 Oct 2019 20:47:14
Biased towards the Habs.

Edmonton has a lot of good young up and coming goaltenders in the system already. More than they need, so no young tenders likely in any deal.

More realistic trade would look more like:

Puljarrvi Gagner Persson

Drouin + 5th.

06 Oct 2019 22:40:54
MTL: Suzuki,2rd2020

Phi:Konecny

I heard Philly are not thrill about paying Konecny 5+ million so maybe they consider this?

07 Oct 2019 08:58:35
Seriously doubt Mtl would consider this trade. On the other hand, Gotisbere for Suzuki might seen enticing.

07 Oct 2019 14:47:47
I think MTL would keep Suzuki but Gotisbere > Suzuki so PHI would say no there for sure.

07 Oct 2019 21:51:29
Fair enough guys, thanks for the feedback. Value wise is it bad tho?

06 Oct 2019 18:00:38
to Columbus
Gagner

to Edmonton
Nash

More term on Nash but the oilers aren't even playing Gagner and he's played really well with Columbus' forward group in the past. Oilers get a winger, which they otherwise are very very thin on.

06 Oct 2019 19:13:48
No from Oilers 100%. Oilers fans hate him, as we picked him in the first round and then he refused to sign with us. As a new GM Ken Holland needs to win the fans over. Gagner (even though he’s in the AHL) is a fan favourite.

05 Oct 2019 23:41:13
Blues Trade
RThomas
Bortuzzo

Leafs Trade
Hyman
Dermott

Thoughts ?

05 Oct 2019 23:45:56
Skill and grit for grit and skill. very interesting . i think the blues are weak on left side D and strong on right side D. Hyman suits blues style of play

Leafs could use grit on back end but the prize is thomas.

Problem here is thomas is only 20 so might not be a player blues feel comfortable dealing him at this point

Still this deal actually strengthens the blues.

06 Oct 2019 00:52:57
Leafs take this and run.

06 Oct 2019 12:21:20
Nothing about this is "interesting" or anything.
Thomas alone is worth Hyman and Dermott several times, period. If you want good value, give good value in return. As easy as that.

06 Oct 2019 17:26:43
Unless the leafs are giving Mathews, Marner or Rielly. Thomas will not be moved.

06 Oct 2019 18:45:56
Now thomas is worth matthews, marner or reilly.

Very interesting.

06 Oct 2019 22:59:14
Every player on the Blues is worth Rielly, Matthews, or Marner. Even the prospects.

06 Oct 2019 23:23:36
No but he is an impressive young prospect that already plays an impressive 2way game and was amazing in the playoffs.

07 Oct 2019 11:41:12
2nd year full time NHLers aren't prospects anymore. but he does have the potential to be a good 2 way player.

07 Oct 2019 16:16:15
He has way more potential than you realize. If you would have watched the blues in playoffs and saw how awesome this 19 year old was you would see why we covet him so much.

07 Oct 2019 17:13:03
He’s obviously not worth them but blues have no reason to trade him.

07 Oct 2019 19:56:45
Look people this is why each Team might consider this Trade Proposal.

For the Leafs Sandin looks like the Real Deal and they still need a solid Defensive Defenceman that shoots Right, Bortuzzo gives them that.
Thomas fits into the now and future for the Leafs you can never have enough Centres and next season I see Spezza gone and Bracco up playing along side Thomas and that would be a heck of a 4th Line.
Cap Wise it's gives Toronto a bit extra to carry 2 extra.

For the Blues Bortuzzo is that extra RHanded Shooting Defenceman they don't need with the big 3 in place, the Left Side is weaker with really only Dunn and 2 aging Players in Bouwmeester and Gunnarsson, Dermott would really make the Defense maybe the best in the NHL.
Hyman fits right into the Blues style of play and replaces what they had last season with Ferland.
Blues would be a better Team making this Trade and the Leafs need some grit on Defense.

08 Oct 2019 14:36:21
Fyi we got players like hyman in spades. dermot isn't anything special.

05 Oct 2019 21:09:18
Pullok in trade rumors today...
Puljarvi yesterday..
Ho sang trade request...
This seems like a natural fit from these players in 1 swift easy trade..

Ho Sang & Pullok
for
Pulu & Gagner

Oil need younger but experienced d with the injury..Ho Sang and Pulu both have that entitlement arrogance that their current teams are dealing with by burying them n their attitude, Gagner is a vet that can still help this year and isles have the cap space to take him. He played great with Eberle in the past..

Cap wise seems to work out.

Trade may need Edm to send a minor pick so that Snow can say he's 3 for 3 for fleecing the teams in alberta...

05 Oct 2019 23:49:35
Wow, this deal works beautifully

If islanders feel they need a rhd back just to fill in until wilde and dobson are ready they could ask for Caleb Jones or Ethan Bear and in return islanders hand over a pick in 4th round.

Your deal is totally fine. no need for improvement. just a just in case scenerio.

06 Oct 2019 17:15:56
Jones or Bear are worth a lot more than a 4th to the Oilers right now. They can have Manning or Legesson if they need a D added in. Not Jones or Bear. Risto would be a good D to replace Larsson. I would also trade Pul and Gagner for a Risto myself.

06 Oct 2019 17:19:24
I think you guys are undervaluing Pulock here. Although I like Gagner in the deal because I think he’s still probably a 35-45 point guy.

06 Oct 2019 17:36:55
Lmao the Islanders aren’t trading their number 1 dman in Pulock for that crap. He’s worth more then any dman on the oilers.

06 Oct 2019 18:48:00
Pulock worth more than klefbolm, nurse, larsson or bouchard

Interesting.

06 Oct 2019 23:03:21
Three of the guys in this deal are non-nhl’ers. Pulock is the only player here that is nhl caliber, and as a top 4 defender he is worth more than what is offered here.

05 Oct 2019 19:42:29
Robert Kraft buying the Sens?

05 Oct 2019 23:15:33
This rumour is a pretty goid one and has good merit. Robert Kraft odviously has money and owns the Patriots. Ottawa desperately needs a good owner and Mr. Kraft and his sons are amazing owners. Quite the family.

This all started by Kathryn (Kraft) putting a pic of inside ottawas arena a money bag and emijjo all in it on her instagram. Then took it down just a few hours later.

What does this mean? Who knows. i'd be afraid mr. kraft and family would buy team then either move team outside of Boston (providence rhode island) or just down the coast a bit to say Hartford.

All in all its in the rumor faze right now. either ottawa gets a rich amazing winning owner who could or could not move the team or you keep a crappy owner but guarentee to keep it in ottawa. so silver lining maybe on that scenerio.

Now if you can dig up stuff like some are able youd be able to realize Kraft has 4 sons. All are married with children. One of the kraft boys married a person with the maiden name Barry. They have a daughter Kathryn

Now Ottawa has a recently signed long term pretty good player who is from Boston. He happens to be dating a Kathryn Barry. his name is Colin White

Coincidence maybe but i'm just saying its pretty curious

Why would a grand daughter of a billionaire go by her kraft last name while dating a nhl hockey player. Talk about added pressure if she did.

That whole instagram from kathryn kraft account could just be a silly thing representing, white his money he gets from his contract and the fact he plays in ottawa. Kraft family sees this and deletes and the rest all goes down.

Ages match up and everything.

Im just sayin.

06 Oct 2019 17:39:04
Did you put on your tin foil hat this morning craiger.

06 Oct 2019 18:22:28
double layered tin foil

Go do some research on colin white. where he was from, where he went to school. Then go google a pic of white with his girlfriend back in 2016

Then dig some stuff up on the Kraft family and schools they may of attended and the pieces of this story becomes pretty clear

Oh and Colin White, congrats on your engagement 💍. seems like a good reason to out of nowhere for a newly engaged and happy soon bride to be to post something silly on snapchat then have it taken down for what reason just an hour later? They didn't just break up. oh yeah, family reasons.

Research its fun and easy to do. but tin foil hats are fun the wear.

06 Oct 2019 19:45:23
What the F does that even mean here VB. You seem to be drunk. I know you’re just a minor but you shouldn’t be drinking, the legal drinking age is set for a reason.
Over exaggerating big time here the few posts up. Lol.

05 Oct 2019 18:42:20
Buffalo Trades
Montour

Toronto Trades
Hyman
Dermott

Thoughts ?

05 Oct 2019 19:49:14
No thanks from Toronto.

05 Oct 2019 21:07:04
Sure, why not? Chances are Leafs lose Hyman in the draft anyway, and Montour is a vast improvement over Ceci. With Sandin playing so well, this trade could actually be a possibility. A lot more realistic than most I’ve seen Pinhead post.

05 Oct 2019 22:01:33
I thought Buffalo just got Montour.

05 Oct 2019 23:20:07
Im down with this deal but the cap won't work.

Leafs have maybe a few hundred grand. Hyman + dermott is only 3.1 million but montour is worth more than that.

I like the deal just can't see it working money wise.
