LeBrun: Leafs, Jets, Stars and Wild eyeing Brock Nelson.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

On a recent edition of insider trading Lebrun said that several teams would like to get into serious discussions with the NYI for Brock Nelson but nobody knows yet if Nelson will be available, the 4 teams he specifically mentioned were the Leafs, Jets Stars and Wild.

Lebrun also said he expects Nelson to go to July 1st.

If he's going to July 1st he should be traded.

The NYI are not near the top of the east, they are not fighting for a division title, they aren't even in a playoff spot.

Brock Nelson should be traded.

If he were to end up on Winnipeg, Toronto or Dallas I think that team would be the favorite to come out of their conference.

Maybe It's just me but to me it feels like a wide open year this year.

Especially in the east where Boston, Florida and Tampa don't seem as strong.

Same thing with the Canes and Rangers the east feels weak.

The west is different, The West has Vegas, Dallas, Edmonton and Winnipeg the west is going to be a blood bath.

As long as NYI is in the hunt Lou won’t trade him.

Also they have no one to replace Nelson next season at 2C if he gets traded or walks.

There is speculation they’ve offered him a three year extension.

 

[gojetsgo]

would love him between ehlers and perfetti on the jets, he grew up an hour away from winnipeg so maybe he wouldn't have winnipeg on his no-trade as well

 

[Satan]

Brock would fit in so well with the Stars

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Nelson is a stud and would help any team immensely. A great piece for a team like the Jets. He'd fit in great with that forward group.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Trade him today to save on airfare, he’s already in Winnipeg. Put him in a Jets jersey against the Isles.

Meanwhile Brock is waiting on his edibles and funyons delivery

This little run is the worst thing that could've happened to the Islanders. They need a re-tool but it won't occur unless they're bad enough to miss the playoffs by a distance.

Here we go again with Brock Nelson rumors:
-Minnesota, No your 2nd, mediocre prospect and cap dump are not enough. All your tradeable vets have too much term (aka not expiring).
-Toronto, no one wants Nick Robertson so stop offering him for anything short of another useless player that needs a chance of scenery


-My spectuation is Lou wants more of a hockey trade if he's moved and playoff teams aren't moving the pieces to make that happen. If its for futures; a 1st, decent prospect and expiring cap dump should be the projected offer.

Nelson to Minnesota seems like a fresh idea. I wonder if our fans will agree on a cost.

 

[SEALBound]

Nelson to the Wild seems like a foregone conclusion to me. It makes the most sense out of all the teams.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Would be an awesome fit on the Leafs (and pretty much any team).

What’s the cost. 1st + ?

1st+ without including Nick Robertson or cap dumps with term.

Lol

 

[SI90]

Don’t think Lou will trade him but if he happens to move him I think the Jets would be the best spot for Nelson and can also offer the isles the best package.

 

[Sypher04]

Nelson is a fine player but a little overrated. No thanks for the expected ask and with no term after this season

 

[MNRube]

Jets make more sense than Wild, who don’t have the requisite expiring contracts to make a deal happen. Not to mention they just paid a lot in futures to add Jiricek.
