Utah doesn't shock me because Smith is pretty motivated to be competitive but I think Montreal should just ride it out for now, try to strike gold on the waiver wire

Would Rasmus Anderrson work Utah?

Would Rasmus Anderrson work Utah?

See that makes sense to me because I feel like they'd have been in on him anyways and one of the teams who have the assets to get it done

 

[SEALBound]

With the Penguins sucking a bit more than they would like, they could be a potential trading partner as well.

 

[OVO16]

Leafs have a Liljegren and/or Connor Timmins that can slot in pretty easily for Utah right now.

SHould be fairly cheap to get too

Kesselring, 2025 1st, and an A prospect (preferrably a C)?

utah would be silly to trade kesselring tbh. He fits in perfectly into the rebuild phase.

Understandable.

What are some examples that you would view as an A prospect.

Approximately how many A prospects do you think there are right now in the league?

Hmm so an example of an A prospect would be Hunter Brewski on the Flames. A strong prospect without significant flaws but not elite gamechanging. Celebrini and Michkov are S prospects. Parekh and Demidov are A+

Liligren & Kampf for Bjugstad & Stenlund

So a top 75-100 ish prospect? Fair enough to include for andersson. You have a lower definition for A prospect than I do.

I personally have a fair bit more range in mine that.

A+ vs A doesn't imo highlight the gap enough between a Parekh and a Brz.

I'd have:
-would trade a lottery winning pick for as S (Celebrini_
-would trade a top 5 pick as A+ (Demidov)
-would trade a top 10 pick as A (Parekh)
-would trade a top 20 pick as A- (Eiserman)
-would trade a late 1st/early second for as B+ (Hunter)
-Would trade a mid/late 2nd for as B
-Would trade a 3rd for as B-
-would trade a day 3 pick for as C

Cozens to Utah?

Cozens to Utah?

Why is Cozens' name being brought up so much around hf recently ?

Young player that is struggling = trade

Maccelli for strubble and 2nd rd pick

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Would Rasmus Anderrson work Utah?

Sure but Utah needs defensemen today and Calgary isn't selling yet. If Ras keeps up his strong play (even if his production drops to the 50-60 point range) there will be a much larger market for him at the deadline when more teams have cap space

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Maccelli for strubble and 2nd rd pick

Lmao one of those players had 57 points last year and the other is not an NHL caliber player. Also they are literally from the same draft class. Not only does Struble do nothing to solve the issue in Utah's lineup, the value is way off here

 

[River Meadow]

Anyone interested in Newhook?

Anybody????

Please.... take him off our hands.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Tyson Barrie come on down

He even knows which skates go on which foot and to make more coffee if he kills the pot.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Liljegren for a 3rd would be a pretty solid move for Utah imo

Someone didn't actually watch the video in the link. They specifically addressed Liljegrin. They don't think Utah is looking for someone with term because their injured players will be back

You know Struble is a dman right? In nearly every draft class in history forwards start making the league before dmen. Maccelli is nearly a full year older and plays the least important position in hockey. His game is top six or bust he's not beating slaf or Demidov long term for a spot. It would not be the type of upgrade we need.

I'm not saying struble has immense value but I would not be surprised if their perceived values were inverted five years from now. Struble absolutely has top four potential. He's good on both sides of the puck though not flashy. He basically was a write off for us and forced his way into the lineup last year making several guys expendable.

Maccelli absolutely screams grabner-type production because nobody else better plays here to me.
