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

[DaveG]

The only one they’d likely scratch is Drury I bet.

I don’t see many teams valuing Rees, Gunler, Suzuki, Ponomarev, Honka very highly.

Pono maybe, the others? No. At least not as a piece in a trade for a guy like Meier

I don’t understand the fascination with Jeannot. There isn’t a player on the roster that site for jeannot. He is a cool story from last year but just that

pending FA and hits. Can fight if needed. Canes are soft.

Lawd. Okay….

Hits and fights win championships

 

[Canes]

Pretty much all of our AHL players are just throw ins at this point to any kind of trade. When Malte Stromwall is your leading scorer, you know there's a lot of stagnation going on Chicago. Losing Warsofsky really hurt.

Your highest scorer is a 28 year old and your prospects suck? Almost every team has this problem then

 

[bleedgreen]

A 2nd for a guy who just scored 24 the year before, yes a 2nd is cheap

With term left he isn’t a good fit for a lot of cap teams, I bet there wasn’t many teams that could be in that race. Ones that could are still aiming higher. Good timing for winni.

let's see who is laughing after someone runs Aho or Jarvis with no retaliation. It won't be you. Playoff hockey is a different animal. Did you autopsy the last three playoff exits for the Canes? Guess you think this roster can handle the Bruins when scoring is hard to come by.

Who'd the Canes play in the first round last year?

I mean, I don't want one dimensional players that are only bruisers (not saying Jeannot is because tbh I haven't watched him), but it's not a crazy idea/desire for fans to want their team to get tougher for the playoffs.

In terms of importance for our roster, the following should be our priorities IMO:

1. Top 6 offensive forward
2. 3rd pairing defenseman
3. Bottom 6 forward that preferably has some toughness

I'd be happy if we just get 1 and 2 done though.

He is just that. He had a wild shooting year last year but, he is a 4th line bruiser.

Fixed that for ya.

Reading social media tea leaves....

Meier to NJ, and we might be upset with how little they give up

But that's just social media guessing

 

[HydratedByStormBrew]

Watching the pregame, Tripp brought up 2006 and the trade deadline when Rod was a player. Rod kind of nonchalantly talked about it and then looked at the camera and said “90% of its just noise” then mentioned how he heard nothing about being traded when he was Philly until he was. I know we all know that and I’m not one to read into things, but it was an interesting interview.

Obligatory I’m also 7 storm brews deep.

Unless they give up a 1st, Mercer and Hughes there will be folks who are mad and feel we could have done more. If it was that easy or something

Well, social media outside of the important blue checkmarks knows f*** all, so I'm not going to read Twitter until the news breaks.

Not the same B’s team from this year.

 

[A Star is Burns]

If the Devils get him, they get him. Other teams get to be good and get good players. Even if we think something we have is better, doesn't mean San Jose or anyone else does. As I've said over and over though, this one move, or lack thereof, won't make or break this team.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Ugh

true but a player like this young and a star doesn’t come along very often in trade opportunities. He would be a multi year star for us.

 

[hblueridgegal]

In CJ's podcast, he said he'd heard that Meier preferred Vegas over NJ or the Canes. Of course, he's not the ultimate decisionmaker yet.

Only needs to wait a year then.

I'd love to get him. But I won't have the freak out some will.

I, also, would prefer Vegas over Atlantic City

 

[bleedgreen]

Best guess for Meier…

40% chance Devils
40% some team we had no idea was in it.
20% us
