Friedman: A player told Friedman he thinks he will he traded, Elliotte thinks there will be trades over the 4 nation tournament

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

To further add this guy said this to Friedman, but isn't playing in the tournament.

Starts about the 24 minute mark of the latest 32 thoughts.

Edit:he added that Montreal will be looking to make a hockey trade as well as selling.

Thankfully he added that it's not a player in the tournament. That narrows it to about 500+ possibilities.

This is like the recent time EF predicted that a player might be traded or might not be traded.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

To further add to this and it might and probably does warrant another thread, but the blues are listening on everyone and if there's a deal they like, they could make it, but aren't going to trade away the team.

Jake Evans? He's having a good year and has a manageable cap hit. You have to think he's on a lot of teams list.

He was talking about him and then mentioned this anonymous player, so potentially.

On him Freidman says he thinks the asking price is a 2nd, which seems easy enough to pay.

Its Pietrangelo/Crosby

A lead like this only makes sense to an insider, like Friedman.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Breaking news. A player might be traded at some point.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Just got an update guys, they’re saying chances of a player being traded are about 50/50 right now

Tank for Broberg!

The daily cap accrues during 4 nations?

I feel that would indicate that you could expect more deals toward the end versus the beginning.

If the cap is a concern - why start eating cap before you get to use the player?

Friedman speculated that that might be the case as players come back from trips, make trades as a sort of gentleman take. Use the time to get the groundwork and then make the trade.

Hope trades do happen during this stupid tournament

 

[93gilmour93]

A player told me he thinks he will be traded. He plays on an NHL team and wears skates while playing. He isn't in the 4 Nations but does enjoy walks on the beach and loves to have pineapple on his pizza.

 

[BWJM]

Come on Elliott’s at least give us a team abbreviation… is it VCR, MRL, TRT, EDT or what.

Have to imagine if that’s the price it will get driven up by demand for Jake then

Breaking news: a player in the NHL may or may not be traded.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I guess if you read between the lines, the player who thinks they’ll be traded has probably had their name thrown out a bunch already, since they don’t seem surprised.

Incredible reporting

One of the 600+ players told him there’s a 50/50 chance he might get traded.

 

[Ulf5]

“It’s been an honour,” the 28-year-old said. “It’s such a fun place to play, it’s such a great place to live, and I’ve just really enjoyed it. It’s truly an honour. There’s so much tradition here, so many great players that have worn this great jersey with pride, and it’s truly an honour.”
But Evans knows that, with six games to go to the trade deadline, the Canadiens have dipped back below .500 and are six points out of a wild-card spot and 11 points behind the Lightning for third in the Atlantic Division. He knows that the teams they’re chasing have games in hand on them, and he definitely knows that teams in the position his team is in move on from players on expiring contracts.

Canadiens' losing streak ahead of 4 Nations break sends them into sell mode

Sunday was a big miss. It was a big miss that will considerably alter the Montreal Canadiens, even if three weeks ago they were staring at a golden opportunity to avoid that.

jake?

 

[Magic Mittens]

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if we see some draft picks traded sometime

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Trades during the the 4 nations, for players not at the tournament, make complete sense. If you're going to acquire a guy and get them to move all their family and possessions to a completely different place, having a week or two longer than normal is the perfect time to do it.

It gives those players a chance to settle in and meet some of the staff and other players.

Man I love Gaylords posts

Also, reading second-hand, apparently several players told Friedman they expect to get traded over the break. I haven't listened to the podcast so no clue if true.
