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

Perron is right, says he always plays right side and prefers it.

You're right, I was looking at Francois Perron haha ...

 

[HoweHullOrr]

He's just pointing out that they are willing to give up a later pick rather than wait it out. If this years pick is late they've already shown that they are willing to give it up rather than wait by offering the Boston pick last year, even though it was obviously turned down by the league.

Some can’t resist a gotcha.

Don't know how we make the cap hit work, especially for Tanev where we'd need double retention+...

But we should be going for some depth LW/LD that fit the group:

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
??? - Norris - Batherson
??? - Pinto - Perron
Greig - Ostapchuk - Amadio

Gregor/Gaudette/Cousins (inj) should be in the stands or on LTIR until the playoffs.

Sanderon - Zub
Chabot - Jensen
Kleven - Matinpalo
??? - Hamonic
??? - JBD

Need some depth on LD in case we need it.

Tanev is 875k with double retention. The Senators would clear that by sending a player whose spot he takes down.

If there is any truth to them wanting to move Norris, I think they want a similar result to want happened with JT Miller, where Vancouver filled 2-3 roster spots.

Unless we have someone going back on LTIR, it will be difficult to add more than one player most likely. Unless they are confident enough in Ullmark's health to trade Forsberg.

Bruce says we’re interested in Ryan Donato and Brandon Tanev.

Blech, both players are lukewarm.

I feel like we should not be expecting major moves at this stage.

For one we don’t have many assets to trade, or at least not many that we should trade.

Second we should not be in the market for high value rentals. This team is just hitting its stride. Moves should be calculated and any higher value asset acquired should be part of a long term solution. The offseason is the best time to make those moves.

So to me that leaves guys that are a bit more under the radar that could help our depth and help us push the pace for the remaining stretch.

To me Tanev/Donato type players are exactly what we should be going for at this stage. Guys that know their role, that can play around the lineup and help us roll 4 lines. Tanev hits like a truck and can put a puck in the net in limited minutes, plus he’s reliable defensively, PKs, and is well liked by all accounts in Seattle. He plays with speed and great on the cycle, which is something we lack right now. To me he’d be a perfect fit here.

Also Norris is not getting moved. Let him play out the year and if he plays like he has the last few ganes you need to keep him. He’s the perfect 2C that plays with speed, has a great shot, reliable defensively, plays with an edge and PKs. If ever he gets moved it’ll be in the offseason and unless we get a better player I don’t see it. We need to keep our depth at center. I would not be surprised if Batherson is moved though for someone who’s maybe a bit more well-rounded, again this would be an offseason move.

If I’m Staios I’m 100% targetting guys like Tanev, Donato, Armia and then a solid 3rd pair defensemen.
