Speculation: First big trade?

[PeoriaBlues309]

Zegras to St. Louis

It definitely won’t be, but damnit we need a top 6 C so bad

 

[Voight]

The Red Wings have big talented centers + a star center Larkin + a well center Compher.

GM Yzerman listens to offer to Larkin?

Compher are new first line center.

The Red Wings will trade Larkin for a high-scoring slope.

Why nwoudl they do that? They lack an elite top line center as is and they'd be getting worse.

Sounds like you need the great and amazing Christian Dvorak

 

[WTFMAN99]

He said big trade...

Any Leaf trade / waiver etc fills up like three times as many pages as this thread, just the reality.

Anything Toronto = big.

 

[Guitpik]

Liljegren to the Kings

Seriously don’t see the Kings having any interest in this.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Jarry to Edmonton

 

[CraigBillington]

A defenseman to Vancouver

That's my call as well. I know it's two games, but I always had reservations about anyone in the bottom pairing getting regular minutes

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Jiricek is scratched again to start the season in CBJ.

Needs a change of scenery, what are CBJ needs?

Jarry to Edmonton

If im Edmonton, Id rather try and get Gibson out of Anaheim. I don't think they have the cap room for that though.

Vladar is very good option for any on the fence. but no way flames trade him to EDM.

EDM also has very little draft capital and not a good prospect pool. So im not really sure who they would trade.

I was very surprised to see that Jarry is only 2 years younger than Gibson. I would have guessed 34 for Gibson and 27 for Jarry, but it’s 31 and 29 respectively. Whenever I see Gibson, I think to myself, he looks good, but he’s had 5 years of 0.888-0.904 Sv%. Jarry was a champion with the Oil Kings and needs a change of scenery and despite his ups and downs is a 0.911 goalie.

I specifically mentioned Dvorak on the Blues forum as a possible, if not likely Blues target this season if they become "soft buyers" at the deadline. St. Louis is too landlocked for Zegras's hair and personality.

Honestly wouldn’t be shocked if Army targeted him if prices for other C’s got too high lmao

 

[bellringer77]

Could needs to do something about their D. Outside Edvinsson and Seider it’s brutal. Trade for Andersson or Jiricek

Well you’ll get zero personality with Dvorak if that’s what you are after, 0/60 SPG (smiles per game). 2027 2nd rounder and he’s all yours

 

[seafoam]

I would think Taylor Hall is a good bet to go to a contender at some point.

 

[Coffee]

Buffalo needs a shake up ..

We say this every year

 

[Luck 6]

Whatever the Canucks decide to do haha.

 

[viper0220]

Utah added Sergachev so I doubt it's them. I think he goes to Nashville or one of the Florida teams

After Sergachev they are thin.

 

[viper0220]

If Flames wanted to say f*** the rebuild after this year I could see a Larkin for Andersson swap

Larkin does nothing to say “f*** the rebuild”.

 

[viper0220]

A defenseman to Vancouver

It would not shock me to see Rasmus Andersson to Vancouver.

 

[DJJones]

Sure it does. Get our hopefully top 5 pick this year and spend a bunch of cap on defense next year

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

After Sergachev they are thin.

Marino and Durzi are both very solid defensemen.

 

[Schemp]

One plays on the left, the other on the right and they have cap space, so your post doesn't have merit. However Utah will wait to see when Marino comes back from injury before even thinking about it. Regardless, Andersson is an upgrade to Kesselring.

 

[Heldig]

After Sergachev they are thin.

No, they are not.

Durzi and John Marino are top 4 guys. Ian Cole, Kesselring and Valimaki are legit top 6 guys. And they have some depth in the minors too.

It would be a good fit. Nothing that Andersson is UFA after next season, what would it take?
