Rumor: 23-24 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part Trois: The Road to the Deadline

[AvsCOL]

The critics are gonna be real loud here soon if CMac doesn’t do anything. His legacy right now is Lars Eller for a 2nd round pick. Still living in the shadow of what Sakic built.

 

[henchman21]

That's not what he's saying.

He's saying if CMac traded lots of assets for Lindholm and then a month later traded him for less or much less because he wasn't working out he'd be labeled a dumbass.

With CMac, we'd know he'd make the deal and sit on it. This board, even with Lindholm's play, would be talking about being Cup favorites over and over since the trade happened.

In that instance where CMac was trading again though, yeah I'm sure many would be saying that.

How tf is this not tampering lol

It is common practice to give permission to work out a deal.

Guentzel also carries a $6M cap hit while Lindholm only $4.85M. Vancouver also has 3 guys on LTIR, but Soucy might be back before the end of the season, and he makes $3.25M. Boston only has $61k in cap space right now.

There would have to be other players involved for cap purposes, and probably multiple teams to make cap room for either player.

I'm sure DeBrusk would wind up moving.

Yeah and that was exactly my point. Instead of waiting and see the end result of the Lindholm-Guentzel trade people here would be given us pages and pages of posts on how bad CMac is until the trade. And then we would here how it had to pay once more to get it happened.

He has an 8-team NTC, and if Calgary permitted him to talk with Tampa, then it's not. Now, they just have to find common ground on a trade. Probably a 3rd or 4th team to help broker the deal with cap retention and picks, and he'll be in Tampa by Friday.

Vegas hoarding all the annual LTIR guys.

 

[hockeyfish]

Sneaky solid addition. Might take them out of the running for Guentzel.

My bad for misinterpreting.

They have cap space for both.

I could have written that post a little better as well.

Mantha to Vegas is good. Hope that means no Guentzel for them. Mantha is big for no reason and disappears all the time.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Despite his track record, I predict he’s a playoff monster this year. I’m talking possibly leading the Knights in goals with a lot of them being timely clutch goals. I’ve been watching him a lot lately and he’s playing angry. When he plays angry he uses his size the way every coach ever wished he would.

Watch this be the move of the deadline.

I don't doubt that but have we even heard anything regarding the Flames being close to a deal here? Last I saw it was teams like Tampa and Florida interested. Now they got a potential contract????

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Because Mantha wants that $.

Trying to hit another Barbeshev v2. Can never have enough physical, hard nosed wingers come playoff time.

 

[henchman21]

Mantha seems like a guy that will work in Vegas... he'll be properly motivated (which has always been a problem), they play a more deliberate style, they have plenty of workers to surround him with, and as a team, they are pretty good passers to feed his shot. I hate him as a player and would never want him... that just feels like a move that will work and Mantha gets 10 goals down the stretch to earn a bad contract from someone in the summer.

Coaches have to beg this guy to play physical.

Yeah as I just stated... it feels like a good move. There isn't much I can back it up with... but I can see that being a great move.

 

[LTCPain75]

Mantha is way closer to being "Charmin" versus "hard-nosed"

Those are great numbers

Yeah, not worried about this guy. Total softie and floats all the time.
