Value of: Matias Maccelli

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Few days ago Friedman speculated that Maccelli might be for sale. What is his value? Do the Coyotes trade him for picks or prospects or do they need a player back? I know they have a lot of picks and prospects in their system, but if they'll trade Maccelli for picks or prospects, they can immediately trade those assets for another player.

This season Maccelli has only 18 points, but last season he had 57 points.

Curious about this too. And wonder if Valimaki could be added to a deal considering they just waived him and seemingly aren't too scared to lose him. Both seem like good "change of scenery" candidates to me.

Maccelli and McBain for Josh Norris.

Maccelli and McBain for Josh Norris.

Maccelli isn't a fit for Ottawa unfortunately. They need a goal scorer, not a playmaker.

I would however dangle Josh Norris if we could get that in return - especially if we're unloading some cap.

Preds need youthful scoring forwards but we all know Trotz/Brunette would play him on the bottom line below Jankowski and then lose him on waivers.

In the offseason Matheson for Macelli + 2nd/3rd

Time of year is going to play a role in our needs acquisition. As it stands now, I feel like long term we need a top 6 center who plays with grit, a top 6 LW to play with Cooley and Guenther (this may be solved internally over the next 2-3 years, a short term filler may be the best solution), and a middle pair LD, ideally good defensively and compliments our breakout.

I expect Carcone, Cole, Bjugstad, and Kerfoot to be gone next season. Maatta might be resigned? With any luck, But, Simashev, and Iginla area ready for action. A top 6 C and bottom 4 LD would be the medicine we need.

Now does Bill feel this way? I hope so fellas, I hope so.

Maccelli for Soucy, pick? Two players who were great last season but are struggling this year.

Seems reasonable that he could be available but they certainly don’t need to move him for “cheap”. He was a 60 point playmaker for the 146 game over the past two years prior to this season, he’s still only 24 and he’s cheap for his production for another year after this one.

They can easily keep him rather than sell low, see if he bounces back. But I’m sure they would listen to hockey offers.

The Canadiens are pretty flush with wingers for next season.

They currently have Caufield, Laine, Slafkovksy, Heineman, Demidov, Anderson, Gallagher, Newhook and possibly Dach, if he's not at centre.

Wouldn't make any sense at all to trade a defenseman for a winger, and it definitely wouldn't make sense to move Matheson unless they were doing so to address a need, which acquiring Macelli would not.

Maccelli for Soucy, pick? Two players who were great last season but are struggling this year.

If this were on the table, that'd be a coup from a Vancouver perspective. But i somehow doubt Utah would be enticed to go for that...and Soucy has a NTC this year that would probably complicate that anyway.

 

[Soups On]

Mark my words - Maccelli will be a Canuck at the trade deadline. Soucy for Maccelli as a base - 2 guys that are much better than they've shown this season but address the needs of Utah and Van respectively.
