All encompassing, never boring, occasional factual, turtle free Mason McTavish Trade (or not) thread!

[cheesymc]

ok, when will the Mctavish for Schneider, Cuylle, and 26th pick be announced already? Beeker really going to drag this out, huh?

 

[333KIngs]

Honestly atp I suspect McT for one of the higher STL 1st and Jecho

There's a bidding war and NYR are deciding what they want to add to the 5th for Mac

We have a new thread based on a Serevalli tweet?????

Someone who watches the Rangers explain why the guy at the bottom is something we would want?

 

[333KIngs]

Would be crazy if we get 5 for McT.

I see a case for it though.

I also understand how it’s an overpay.

If it really is 5 then blues offer has to be 11 + 16 or something .

Neither I see happening , overpay imo.

If reports are true ,

26 +

11 + small add

Pretty sure if we pull the trigger w NYR Rempe or Schneider is involved . Schneider would flourish in a system like ours. Worth mentioning out LHD are a lot different than the rangers. A lot more puck movers . Wouldn’t be bummed w it . I just want McTavbitch gone tbh . Seems like the gms agreed to have Verbeek sleep on it and decide on draft day. Would be kinda cool if we get to the pick we acquire and bettman / whoever says we have a trade to announce and no insiders report on it . Regardless, tomorrow is gonna be fun to watch/ witness as ducks fans. If we get a pick from Blues, hello Rudolph/Gustafson. Maybe Belchetz/Hemming. So many ways this goes. Haven’t had a draft like this in a while! Hell, Robertson nearly went to StL , Seattle today. (Yes Ik one was an offer sheet but yk what I’m saying) plus Hellyubuck/Larkin/Werenski may/will get dealt. Fun stuff

Oh god

Friedman on 32 Thoughts says if it’s St.Louis the key piece is the 11th overall and if it’s New York then the key piece is a player, wouldn’t speculate who. Also added he didn’t think Verbeek wanted to make the 11th pick so they’d be looking into flipping it. Maybe that’s why this isn’t done right now.

 

[All Mighty]

11th overall isn’t a bad get, especially because we will probably flip it. If the main piece from NYR is a player that isn’t Trocheck, I feel like it’s Cuylle.

 

[ReptilianQuack]

I hate how we went from Thomas, Parayko, Larkin...
To where we are now.

I hope flipping the pick is part of a grand scheme.

 

[All Mighty]

It’s rumored that Toronto really wants another high pick. Maybe Verbeek is trying to parlay that #11 pick into Knies?

We trade McTavish for #11.

Then #11 + McTavish for #4

Then #4 +McTavish for #1

Then #1 for Knies.

Genius

 

[Rooch]

This is so NOT Verbeek's typical process. We never know anything about what he's doing until its done. But this information has leaked out and I strongly believe it's Verbeek communicating through the media that he wants teams to sweeten their offers.

 

[nbducksfan19]

It very much feels like verbeek’s option A is to get a big fish ( knies, larkin ect), but probably needs a top 15 pick to get them. I imagine he’s trying to do a three team trade where he moves mctavish for a pick and packages that with a player (minty?).

Otherwise it’s something like Cuylle +.

Why would a team with a top 15 pick settle for mctavish if they could get Knies instead with that pick and another player?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Really thought this deal would get done by now. Oh well Tommorow it is

 

[nbducksfan19]

They may not the 2nd piece they would be willing to include as valuable as some like mintyukov

Ok. I don’t think mintyukov is that unique or valuable though.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Knies probably cost more than the #15 pick, more like the #5.

 

[tomd]

Indeed. #5 and then some.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Why would a team with a top 15 pick settle for mctavish if they could get Knies instead with that pick and another player?

Because they’d need to give up that other player but more importantly because they need a center and not yet another left winger where they’re deepest.

Who is “they”?

Oh I don’t know maybe the team that’s offering a top 15 pick for McTavish, good lord try and keep up.

Maybe it wasn't a stew and instead an overnight slow smoked brisket

I’m just trying to understand what you’re talking about. And the growing consensus seems to be that mctavish is a LW going forward so I think pretty much every team would agree that Knies would be the better LW of the two.
