All Purpose Trade/Roster Building Thread XIII - the 23 deadline approaches

[DaveG]

A 1st and Gunler gets the Canes ??????

Duchene retained?

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

With Miller it's not the 2028 Canes I'm worried about. It's the 2025 Canes. Taking him on with no retention (because they can't retain on his new contract) probably costs us an additional good player to the one we're probably set to lose that off-season to begin with. And maybe even 2 good players if RSN Armageddon plays out the way it's expected to resulting in at least 2 more seasons of stagnant cap beyond next season.

I look at it this way: can we afford to lose Brady Skjei with Alexander Nikishin coming in? Probably. Can we also afford to lose Teravainen and Pesce or Ago because we chose to bring in Miller? f*** no.

They can afford to lose Turbo and maybe Pesce, as well, if the Canes have good contingency plans for Pesce like they did with Hamilton. In no way do I think that we're in any danger of losing Aho.

I hope you're right. I just don't want an 8 million dollar contact for 8 years completely f***ing us if those negotiations go poorly. There's a reason I'm pushing for whoever we get to be retained to as close to 4m per for the remainder of their deal as possible.

Duchene retained?

Schmaltz?

 

[MadeUpName]

Gunler didn't play yesterday either from what I see so maybe he is just being scratched. Odd timing though. Maybe he was in the Meier offer.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Pass on miller’s deal.

The guy is a pretty well known locker room issue. Well worse than one goalie not liking his comment type like TDA

Lake's Recipe for Anger and Frustration*

• Take something you care about that hasn't happened yet
• Imagine the worst possible outcome
• Treat that as a given
• Obsess
• If there's a better result than you imagined, accept it rationally but make sure you retain and stoke the bad feelings you built up while obsessing about the worst possible outcome.

Make sure you share all of the above with as many people as possible!

* this works as well with politics as it does with hockey trades

do we stoke it or stroke it?

 

[MinJaBen]

Go one stop-shopping at the Flames:

Lindholm (heard he likes the surge)
Tiffoli
Zadorov

All three have a year left (I think) and fill our voids (2C, 2LW, 3LD). Wonder what it would cost.

Starts with Necas or Jarvis. Unless they want to entertain swapping one of those pieces with Teravainen. They didn't pay Kadri and Huberdeau to start a rebuild.

Schmaltz?

I mean if that's all Arizona would want for him and Ghost I'm cool with that. Even straight up that's not bad

 

[Stickpucker]

I saw a report yesterday that suggested Soros, Forsberg and Josi were untouchables....of course, everyone has their price.

how far out is Askarov?

Meier to NJ official. Cool cool cool. Fun in the Metro.

 

[Svechhammer]

SJ absolutely played us at the benefit of their friends NJ

 

[spockBokk]

Guess who Team #1 is:

 

[Brock Anton]

We better have something good planned … and no, not Nick Schmaltz.

 

[Novacane]

[Wolfpuck]

F*** Timo Meier. Overrated bum. Never wanted him in the first place.

Gotta love unethical "professionals." Plenty of them around the world.

Real slimy situation when nepotism and personal connections seem like a real factor.

Guess who Team #1 is:

Hmm. I wonder...

*Edit* Wait, why would Carolina have cap or roster considerations as Frank said? Assuming we're team #1 in his Tweet?

1,2 morrow

 

[Blueline Bomber]

As long as we keep the division lead, it'll be for naught. That'll mean either Jersey or the Rangers would have made a major move at the deadline just to flame out round 1.

 

[MadeUpName]

Circle back around with SJ on Couture. Great Playoff warrior. With enough retention it could match.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Better cost them Mercer, Hughes or Nemec or I'll honestly be a little pissed...

 

[spockBokk]

so I imagine the origins of the Jarvis blog rumor were as suspected:

-he was likely the ask from SJS (a la Mercer from NJ)
-his agent very likely let him know he was “in the mix” for a trade. The Canes front office obviously had no intention of ever offering him, for Meier at least
