[Kcb12345]

With the deadline quickly approaching on March 7th, I figured it was time for a rumors thread.

It's f**king Petry isn't it...

 

[M88K]

It's f**king Petry isn't it...

That would fit Nill's MO. But hoping for Gudas if it's a defender from one of those teams.

 

[Kcb12345]

Seems very possible that it's Petry

Several dmen on Detroit I'd prefer to avoid, but definitely fit the bill for Nill

 

[LT]

It's f**king Petry isn't it...

He's not even playing, why would we have scouts there for him?

 

[starsfan86]

Petry would be terrible. Might as well just keep Dumba

He's not even playing, why would we have scouts there for him?

Maybe to see how he looks in a press box. That’s probably where he would be with the Stars.

 

[Henderson33]

He's not even playing, why would we have scouts there for him?

Because I don't pay attention to Jeff Petry and whether or not he's back

 

[M88K]

He's not even playing, why would we have scouts there for him?

One could assume based on the Dumba and Suter signings, watching one play is not required.


But Gudas it is

 

[LT]

Gudas is probably untouchable to Anaheim

 

[mc3488]

Gudas would be sickkkkk

 

[Magic Mittens]

Detroits playing good, I don't see them being sellers. Doubt they would care about Petry though

Dumoulin is a UFA on the Ducks

Could definitely see him being of interest to Nill and co.

 

[MBTendy]

Dumoulin? Another LD?

I don't see why he would be the guy

 

[Azzuri]

Dumoulin blows but Nill has been bad at evaluating D for a while. So wouldn't surprise me.

 

[LT]

Dumoulin's fine. He checks just about every box Nill seems to want in a bottom pairing D. He'll be cheap to acquire and is an alright option of the other choices prove to be too expensive or the money can't be made to work.

Jones or Karlsson is likely just too complicated to work as a deadline deal. Dobson is a pipedream.

The problem is it's another 3rd pairing d.
We already have
Ceci, Dumba, Lyubushkin, Smith, Bichsel

We need a #3-4, with some puck skills. Not another 3rd pairing guy

 

[piqued]

"Nill has a directive to win from the top"

*incoherent shouting, phones slamming on desks, and people running through the halls*

GET ME BRIAN DUMOULIN

I don't disagree. But those aren't really available. The only one we know of is Jones, which is going to be a very complicated move.

 

[LT]

I'm not suggesting Dumoulin because I want him

He just fits all the hallmarks of a Nill acquisition, especially should the bigger fish not work out

 

[Azzuri]

"VETERAN DEFESEMAN DEPTH"

Dude can't even hack it in Seattle, he was terrible.

 

[Johno]

I heard it at a local pub, we are getting Trevor Zegras.

Might’ve been just me yelling about it

In new 32 thoughts they talk about Seth Jones more:

Friedman basically talked about what Shapiro was saying and how it'd be very difficult for Dallas to fit Jones in for the future. Hawks have 1 retention spot left

He speculated that the Panthers could have interest if Tkachuk is out, but was just speculating.

He also mentioned Columbus as a suitor, if Jones considers them a potential contender.

Hard to think that he would go back to Columbus. How are they supposed to be a contending team with Merzlikins in net?

 

[Kcb12345]

Oh Friedman also mentioned that the Hawks would be perfectly fine with keeping him. Says they can't keep moving guys out and bringing nothing back to help Bedard

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Why isn't Dobson a Star?
