Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

I mean, he won a vezina just last season,

So… you’re saying his best years are behind him, then.

 

[Senator Stanley]

You'd think being a Sens fan for decades would stifle any excitement about potential trades.

And for a goalie? The horror.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Read on Twitter some bruins insider on Reddit said it’s #25, Forsberg and Ostapchuk for Ullmark with extension.

Obviously major grain of salt ^

Sounds way too good to be true, but if that's the deal, Staois needs to take it and run.

That just outright sounds like a fantasy scenario. What makes it even more unbelievable is that it comes from the Boston side.

That would be a solid trade but I hate that Ostapchuk is included.

It's a pretty realistic depiction of the value of a 30 yr old goalie imo.

Ostapchuk is exactly what we need more of and we have no one else like him. And then including what could be EJ Emery a 6’3” physical RHD. Something else we really need.
And forsberg replaces their backup.
It’s hard to love.

Unless you can turn chychrun into a better player than Ostapchuk. At least.

 

[BondraTime]

Going to be something like 25th + multiple pieces from a Chychrun deal or trade down deal for Ullmark and a depth piece that we will hear is an integral piece like the aforementioned Lauko, who is really just trade fodder.

7 days.

That sounds like a realistic trade.

Ostapchuk is probably worth a late 1st or high 2nd.

That is a comparable package to what Markstrom returned, except Markstrom came with a much more flexible contract (2 years at 4M or whatever it is vs expensive long term extension likely with a NMC).

I don't believe in a second we are going to get him for that because we never win these things, but that sounds like a realistic return for a goalie who can choose his destination via the big money extension. It's very similar to the Debrincat situation last year, where the Bruins might only have one realistic spot to send him.

At some point they have to pick their poison and give to get.

The reality is that we don't have a lot of assets so there is no position of strength to trade from. Even NJD with Bahl, they have lots of depth in terms of NHL ready D, we don't really have that same luxury anywhere in the organization.

Found the Reddit comment being referred to and it’s just a random person predicting a trade. They have as much insight as me.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I have more faith in Forsberg bouncing back than Korpisalo, who I think we should buy out next week. I'm fine with Forsberg for 30 games or so.

The issue is that we don't have cap flexibility and a team would take Forsberg while no team would take Korpisalo.

People keep bringing up a buyout, but it saves only a very small amount of cap long term. A buyout only makes sense as an absolute last resort if we cannot manage the cap without it.

Still too much imo.. I'd go 25, Forsberg and 1 4th rounder from the 4 we have ... I would also go 25 and Boucher

We have players we’re trying to trade. Ostapchuk isn’t one of them.

 

[SpezDispenser]

It's not a deal breaker, but if we're giving 25 + , they can get f***ed asking for Ostapchuk

Capitals wanted to dump Kuemper and look what it got them. There’s no market for Korpisalo without attaching a massive sweetener.

 

[PlayOn]

Boston feels like they have a whole team of Ostapchuk’s, I don’t know that he’s the guy they’d ask for honestly.

Maybe work a 3 way with Dadonov in there

Ostapchuk is good but he's not a deal breaker. A late first and him for a Vezina winning goalie a steal.

If our prospect pool wasn't so depleted maybe.. He's our best forward prospect right now imo.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I never suggested he was being shopped. Only that the proposal makes sense, that we have to give something up, and with the state of our assets it's a pick your poison type situation where whatever we give up in a trade for a star player is going to hurt.

If you go by the line of thinking you're presenting, most trades for big stars would never get done. Sometimes trades involve a team giving up a prospect they otherwise wouldn't.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Yes, not a deal breaker, but he's on an expiring contract, no matter what the scenario a 25th + lesser prospect + mid pick should be enough, but again, not a deal breaker
