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

[Maitz]

It's Jake Evans, he had a media scrum after last game and talked about how he enjoyed Montreal and that he had so much great memories about the team. Talk in the past like he was gone

I'm bucking the trend here and am expressing delight for this brand new and helpful information. Thank you Elliotte!!!

Lots of conversation over the weekend that the two sides were far apart on an extension. I suspect that it's money and term. Evans is likely asking for Dvorak money and term. I'm not interested in giving 6 years to him at 28. I'm not interested in $4.45 million either.

With the slide over the last 7-8 games, it cements what most of us knew. That selling would be the course this year.

...Hughes probably tries to package Evans & Armia to get a 1st, as they've been amung the best PKing Duo's in the League this year...slow Monday...

What the hell happened to Friedman, seriously this guy is down there with the likes of Sid Seixeiro

I think he's just gotten overexposed. A weekly column, he has enough news for. Breaking news, he can do. When he has to generate significantly more content than that, he ends up saying a lot of nothing to fill the dead air.

to me 3 players will be traded Jake Evans - Casey Mittlestadt and David Savard
My guess
Savard to edmonton
Mittlestadt to New jersey
Evans to Los Angeles or Winnipeg

Interesting observation on Mittlestadt. He fits the profile of what their GM likes to target in terms of age and team control, but stylistically he's not really what they need.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Kind of doubt. Don't think the league will want anything significant overshadowing their latest cash grab gimmick.

 

[The Old Master]

is there a team that's not looking to make a trade?

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

As Friedman (or the host?) said, the Bruins traded Ullmark to the Senators just before game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.

 

[SEALBound]

Jake Evans to New Jersey or Edmonton makes a lot of sense.

 

[Hodes42]

NHL didn’t put a hold on trades for the 4 nations break?

 

[Maitz]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Armia to LAK

Did you see this on Spector's as well?

No, but the teams have been asked not to announce them until after the tournament finishes in order to keep the spotlight on the tourney.

...I've seen this idea floated by some of the talking heads on TSN/Sportsnet, iirc...if it nets something good like a 1st or good prospect, I'd be happy...that said, I have always liked the way Evans plays...

 

[Soups On]

Uhh. No he's not, not even close. Sid is a f***ing moron when it comes to hockey takes.

This to me is more interesting because its more or less coming from a player vs mumblings from management.

Hockey fans getting irrationally mad at sports reporting, what's new lmao

His name was thrown out there on the NJD board with a 2nd going back.

I really don't know too much about him. From what I read, his defensive usage has been high this year and his production has been limited. UFA.

Savard to edmonton

Edmonton doesn't need or want Savard. They do need/want Evans though.

...Evans is the kind of Bottom Six C that coaches luvs; high-end PKer who knows his job and has developed into a significant threat short-handed as well...that said, he is a Bottom Six C, so don't expect an offensive guy or you'll be disappointed...

 

[King'sPawn]

A player told EF he might get traded. Less than a month before the trade deadline.

Groundbreaking journalism. I hope his other 31 thoughts are more insightful.

I hear his offense has actually been quite solid this year but he might be shooting at a rate that isn't super sustainable

Detroit should add him to their collection of Compher and Copp lmao.

...his shooting percentage this year is WAY above his career average; like I said, he isn't an offensive guy...he's great on the PK and in his role in the Bottom Six...

 

[HabsQC]

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

In 3025 years, life on Earth will either be good or not good.

It's 5050.

 

[bear16]

Wait. The player thinks Freidman will be traded?
