LeBrun: Guentzel: Pens want prospects over picks - Carolina favorite

[Ugene Magic]

they can keep othman and their first just give us gabe.

Why not ask for all while we're at it?

 

[Ryder71]

I don't see anything enticing in Vegas' prospect pool.

Exactly, Vegas should be a last ditch effort if five or six other scenarios fall through.

I like Edstrom

Yeah but not as a main piece, pass.

 

[SEALBound]

I did NOT predict Jake going to the Rangers.

I thought for sure Vancouver or Vegas. Next was Carolina. Not sure where I had NYR at but...not top 5.

quality over quantity every time.

Well, if it is all quality then there is a party.

NY seems like the biggest bidder by any rumor mill.

Colorado and Florida were hinted but nothing out of their camp. I always assumed Florida was floating to drive the price on Pacioretty down.

 

[Three On Zero]

you're always posting weird digs in this forum. maybe you need another hobby.

It’s not a dig when it’s the known truth

My preferences in order provided we get blue chip prospects.

1 VAN
2 CAR
3 NYR

Lekk and Willander are untouchables, what other blue chip prospect would you want?

If they're untouchable we move to the Canes, then NYR. Not interested in Willander, LEKK absolutely, but if not we'll find another partner.

How much could Pacioretty even cost coming off a major injury and turning 36 later this year?

Honestly asking the question and not being a dick. His price shouldn’t be high enough to worry about driving down I would think.

You do know if Kakko was any good they would put him higher up in the lineup. 43.9% of the time he plays with Kreider and Mika, so what's the excuse there?

Jack Drury plays with Bunting and Necas 24% of the time and he still has more points and better defensive stats.

Take a look at Kreider+Mika’s even strength statistics. There’s a reason the fanbase has been screaming for them to be broken up for years now. They’re awful together 5v5.

At the end of the day it’s still in Kakko. There are a lot of excuses, valid ones, but it’s still on the player. He has the talent. His confidence is pure shit now.

Most of us know that when he’s traded, he’s going to make us regret it. That’s a given.

I imagine that's already been a sticking point. I can't fathom a discussion that wasn't "We want Hogs and Lekky or no deal".

Poor Dubas must be so confused. He's so used to being on the other end and simply bending over each deadline, now he's frantically making calls and wondering where the sucker is that will grossly over pay.

Usually if you can't find the sucker, it's you.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

Kakko doesn’t really excite me. IMO it needs to be Perreault from the rangers

Kakko+Perreault would be nice I’d even add to JG for that package

 

[Dr Amazing]

To the Avs for a 1st round Calum Ritchie and a 4th

 

[Coastal Kev]

Package Jake & Sid to Colorado for cool stuff. Now that would be exciting.

 

[JimmyG89]

I wouldn't trade Kakko straight up for Guentzel nonetheless with a 1st attached. Unless Sid is coming with him, Guentzel does nothing for me. You'll get the same production from someone like Duclair for a fraction of the price.

Does this make you feel better about Treliving trading 3rd rounders for shit depth defensemen?

I appreciate the Rounders reference at the end, but the premise that Dubas somehow is getting bent over is ridiculous. He is doing his due diligence.

HFBoards posters: Dubas is such an idiot…. He’s asking for way to much.

Also HFBoards posters if he lowers the price: See, Dubas just gets bent over in trades.

Blue chip prospects just don't get dealt for rentals.



seems like CAR isn't in on Guentzel either.

I wouldn't want to trade Guentzel for a 3rd liner either honestly.

That's not what that tweet says at all

That's just reiterating what has already been said a ton: Carolina doesn't tend to trade top assets for rentals. Everyone knows that and it's why a lot of people are skeptical that they pull Guentzel off.

[PG Canuck]

How does Guentzel fit in the Rangers lineup? Panarin/Kreider to RW?

 

[BoHorvat 53]

That's not what that tweet says at all

So if we're going to ignore the Hurricanes GM literally saying 2 weeks ago that they don't pay premium assets for rentals and this, then sure. Carolina is in! They might even be offering Nikishin!

Guentzel can play RW
