24/25 Waivers/Rumors/TDL Thread.

I've always wanted EP40 on the Wings for years. I hope if he's on his way out of Vancouver that Yzerman and co will be in on it. Now I appreciate the shouts that we don't have the stuff that Canucks probably want without giving the core. But figure it out somehow!

Would be nice to have pettersson raymond top line and larkin 2c we'd be really on our way up with just the d that needed help. That being said he apparently said he wants to stay and canucks are moving miller which is the right call

I dont know if we have what it takes to land him anyways + we'd have to send bodies they probably dont want to make the money work

1st rd pick
Danielson
Compher
rasmussen
Wallinder
chiarot 50% (apparently looking for d help + want to win now)

That's alot of pieces to me and I dont think it gets it done. Anyways like I said pettersson is staying

Honestly, i'd hate to get rid of danielson and that would be literally my only hesitation in this deal for EP. I still think Danielson is a spinning image of larkin. problem is kasper looks like a less point producing zetterberg some nights. would throwing mazur in for danielson and another pick like 3rd work?

1st + 3rd
Mazur
compher/copp their preference
ras
wallinder
chiarot (wouldn't mind doing 25% if numbers pencil)

I'd do this in a heartbeat

As someone who values Mazur higher than anyone else on the planet.... Yeah, of course you do that in a heartbeat. Because it's not even remotely close to being enough.

Just saw something that said Mateychuk is expected to stay up the rest of the year for Columbus. He was doing extremely well at the AHL level prior to his call-up. I think that makes it pretty likely Provorov gets moved before the deadline. I am really hoping we are exploring this.

Again i dont think canucks will deal him. That being said I think it takes a 1st rd type prospect going back. Nygaard danielson kasper ... we deal danielson we go pettersson larkin kasper down the middle and we're fine

I'd have 0 problem throwing mazur WITH danielson, wont if I dont have 2 but I would. We cant fit all these prospects coming. Realistically mazur will be on the 4th line here if hes on the team with or without pettersson

Debrincat larkin raymond
Buchelnikov kasper nygaard
Soderblom danielson finnie/lombardi

Where does mazur fit ???? I dont think debrincat even gets resigned + theres plante,kiiskinen potentially a top 10 forward pick like desnoyers,o'Brien or whomever

Berggren as well which I think he'll be the odd man out unless he explodes next season for 50-60 pts. Realistically mazur is destined for 4th line on this team if canucks want him for pettersson we have to do it

Can go an all swede line

Soderblom pettersson raymond
Buchelnikov larkin nygaard
lombardi kasper finnie/kiiskinen
Rasmussen?? james

We had the russian 5 we'd now have the swedish 5 lol

Soderblom pettersson raymond
Edvinsson pellikka

Anyways if we got a player of top line status we'd still be ok. Wont be pettersson though. I'd be shocked

It’d take more for petterson.

Danielson, burgers, mbn, and 1st. With salary and a couple nhl players (copp/JT/Ras)

The team needs to build around rugged physical 2 way play. They need to focus on guys who can skate and have good possession metrics. Tarasenko, Kane, compher, all of these guys have horrible possession metrics and don’t bring anything when they aren’t scoring. They need to find a way to move them. Dont re-sign Kane, try and move compher or tarasenko, trade for a solid steady physical bottom pairing and see if you can swing a trade for steady LD for Mo. that’s what they should be doing, if their first rounder is in the mid teen range I’d totally be okay with moving it. But for the love of god stop giving out high cap hit contracts to old players that can’t do anything without the puck.

I think with all the 2 way rugged guys around/coming, there's room for a guy like Kane to be a PP specialist. Tarasenko and Compher have just sucked this year which is more the problem for them. Last year I saw no issues with Comphers possession game... he was a zone entry guy on the PP. No clue what happened to him this year

:laugh: I thought I was the weirdo for wanting a rd. I'm not going to complain if we manage to grab either of those guys.
Then can we just go all the way and brainwash Lou into selling low on Dobson? :D

EDIT: Woof, not a fun schedule for the Islanders from here to the deadline.

COL
@ PHI
@ TB
@ FLA
VGK
@ WPG
@ MIN
DAL
NYR
@ BOS
NSH
@ NYR
WPG

For that matter, it'll be interesting to see what all the New York teams do this year.

Compher's faceoffs have really fallen off the cliff this year too, I think he is playing through something (likely core related), maybe a few days off will help him recover, the wings should have at least one RH center for D-zone reasons.

The team plays a much different game when Kane is out...but maybe Todd can correct that, because, yes, they should have room for a Kane on the team, they need his line become the change up line, not what everyone tries to emulate.
 
Buffalo is such a poverty franchise. Just sell the team lol

I would definitely be interested in him but it probably starts with ASP + a first at that point no..

This franchise makes so little sense it is absolutely wild to me. I mean as much as people complain about Yzerman and this rebuild there is a reason why he didn't rush all of his young guys into the NHL just to have them exposed. It creates a losing culture.

How does a team with the skill of Thompson, Power, Byram, Dahlin, Peterka, Tuch, Cozens, etc fail this epically.
