Rumor: All Purpose Trade Proposals, Speculation and Rumours - 2023/24

[Gil Fisher]

So have we hit a 100 BS rumours or did we pass that number already.

there were a lot. they might not have been BS. GMs discuss trades without making them.

it's been fun.

Is Michael Hage who Montreal were targeting when they traded up in the draft 6 hours ago?

pool accident at backyard bbq sounds like a dodgy way to die

Well this has been a whole lot of nothing... do something Chevy.

Too late.

Did somebody forget to tell Chevy the draft was tonight???

Did somebody forget to tell Chevy the draft was tonight???

Kept hearing he was on the phone all night, was probably just to catch up with a relative or friend he hadn't heard from in a while though

Murat: Chevy is on the phone!!!

Chevy's phone:

My guess is Chevy wants a top prospect for McGroarty and not a draft pick. I didn't think there was a high probability of Ehlers going tonight. I figured it would be July 1st at the earliest as he's worth more with an extension.

Yeh it’s rare a player like Ehlers gets moved draft night. Too much focus on prospects to look at other big moves for all the teams.

 

[Buffdog]

I would almost prefer we burn the pick and let him walk to free agency in 2 years than capitulate for a middling return right now. Sending a message is also important to future players. Think of him as a Veslinen if it means future prospects will think twice before demanding such trades.

100%

Let him spend two years watching his US development team buddies cashing cheques in the NHL while he's attending classes

the insiders after the draft:
chris johnston: montreal was tied to mcgroarty wonders if it picks up day 2
dreger: mcgroarty is on the radar for a lot of teams, chevy didn't get an offer that made sense, maybe montreal steps up maybe wild step up plenty of interest

Jets probably get 13OA if Buium was gone.

Or the pick he wanted was gone?

 

[Board Bard]

Reporter: Hey Chevy you gonna do any buyouts?

Chevy: That is an option.

Reporter: Hey Chevy you gonna trade any players?

Chevy: That is an option.

Reporter: Hey Chevy you gonna trade any prospects?

Chevy: That is an option.

Reporter: Hey Chevy you gonna acquire a 1st round pick?

Chevy: That is an option.

Reporter: Hey Chevy you gonna drink a pail of water and piss your pants?

Chevy: Again, certainly.

Idk the things I took away from the Chevy interview is that Ehlers isn't necessarily on the table...some posters mentioned the fact that the Jets need stars to sell seats, and Chevy, with some input from his bosses and coaches, might be comfortable riding it out with Ehlers to ensure the Jets have a star worth watching next year...it moves the timeline on Lambert or Barlow replacing him to a more attainable one...if the team sucks Ehlers would still have TD value one would think.

The other thing I noticed is that Chevy was asked specifically about Perfetti and Stanley and he dodged talking about big Stan...maybe something is in the works tomorrow.

What a boring awakening to nothing

Nietschze meets HF

I hope so I just assumed it will be at the draft longer this plays out he does lose leverage I will gladly eat my crow if he pulls another Dubois

Would you gladly use some punctuation? Shits hard to read.

Thats an option.

All I learned is that NHL market places are dynamic. Anything that involved 2024 first round draft capital obviously didn’t materialize.

Chevy is a grinder and maybe the pick wasn’t his priority, or perhaps the asset they wanted was gone by the time their targeted trading slot arrived. Impossible to say without more information.

I am fine being patient for now. This is our top prospect and we need equal value back.

If it’s not a package deal from our side my hopes are it’s a 1 for 1 trade for a young emerging asset that is more of a positional need.

Last thing we need to do is overplay our hand to try to win this year. That’s what trade deadlines are for. Ideally we need a 7-10 year asset that grows into a top six centre in 1-2 years. Or a similar time horizon with a RHD.

My hope is similar to what I think we have in McG. Not quite proven yet but dam close and an asset that gets me excited while filling a positional need.

 

[ps241]

Zeev is a great talent. Can’t believe he slipped that far. You won’t love to see him play us next ten years that’s for sure.


I prefer he trades him for a near ready young D instead of a pick.

Hockey prospect Black Book had Zeev Buium as their top D man in this draft and #3 overall. Wild are quietly rebuilding on the fly here. This is a hell of a pick up at that slot and I am very jealous.

 

[GJF]

I am defnitely jealous about their top pairing of the future in Faber and Buium. These two both are going to be puck moving monsters.

Imagine having two Morrissey's for the next 6-8 years. Disgusting

 

[WolfHouse]

Nietschze meets HF

There is no sense hoping he will fall to us at 37

 

[Gil Fisher]

Plenty of interesting names remaining on the Board. I think we'll get a really good player. A couple of centers in Erikson and Mittens; a few RHDs in Elick, Badinka and Mews and even some puck moving LHDs.

Pettersons a high motor C as well.

As for roster construction, do we pivot back to Ehlers staying? Can we fit both Ehlers and Monahan under the cap?

Perfetti Scheifele Vilardi
Connor Monahan Ehlers

Or do we let Lambo take a run at 2C, with Namestnikov as his insurance policy?

There is no sense hoping he will fall to us at 37

Wait there's a player names Nietzsche in the draft?
