Jon Merrill for JAD

 

[Djp]

I think their combined salaries exceed the available cap space by all.

 

[TotalHomer]

None of those pieces are going to return anything substantial. Outside of Kaprizov and Boldy who aren't for sale, who's even interesting? Brodin and EE probably the only ones.

Brodin and Eriksson Ek aren't available.

Steel, Goligoski and Merrill aren't interesting. The rest are.

What are you on about?

Then I’m looking for picks. Wild can eat salary to send some of these players to a contender for a cup run.

Jon Merrill for JAD

Eh, don’t need a 4C. Maybe like a 3rd round pick?

 

[OVO16]

Team is just terribly constructed. Guerin tried to make a goon squad over an actual hockey team.

With that being said, would love Foligno on the Leafs

Jon Merrill for JAD

I'd actually do that if for no other reason than to change the players on the team

 

[TotalHomer]

Brodin and Eriksson Ek aren't available.

Steel, Goligoski and Merrill aren't interesting. The rest are.

For a playoff run? Not sure any of these guys are high on teams' list. Sure you'll get something back.

Would love to open up a spot for one of O’Rourke/Hunt to come up.

For a playoff run? Not sure any of these guys are high on teams' list. Sure you'll get something back.

I think a guy like Hartman would be $$ for a team like Boston with his decent production and low cap hit. Something like Hartman for 1st+3rd+cap dump (C. Smith) could be worth it for them.

Foligno would be wanted by about half the playoff teams
Hartman is half a season removed from 65 points for 1.7M
Middleton brings the "toughness" every GM seems to love and can play good minutes if needed
Addison is a 22 year old rookie RD who can already QB a PP and will only improve from here
Zuccarello is an experienced top six scoring winger, and by some accounts, a good leader

I really don't understand what you're getting at when you say none of them are interesting. None of them are Horvat or Meier, sure, but guys exactly like these get moved around every deadline because playoff teams covet them. No one ever said they were all gonna bring back 1sts or top prospects. 2nds, 3rds, mid level prospects, they're all fine. If you're not interested in them though, why are you here?

I agree most playoff teams would look at Hartman. Not sure what the offers would be, but I would want my team to be calling asking for a price. He's too inexpensive to not kick tires on.

 

[Viqsi]

The Jackets might take some interest in Middleton, seeing as though we're likely losing Gavrikov at the deadline.

I'm here to talk hockey. Why are you here?

None of the guys you listed have any significant playoff resume. Sure you'll get mid round picks.

The big problem you're going to run into w/r/t deadline deals is term - folks are generally looking for rentals, not extended commitments.

I'd like to see Addison back with the penguins.

1st+Pulj? Not sure if Edmonton views Pulj as worth something. Just trying to help the cap and get a piece Minnesota would want in return (2023 1st).

I'd like to see Addison back with the penguins.

What would you offer?

 

[66-30-33]

Foligno to Pens would be nice.

 

[SB716]

Not sure the Sabres would realistically be interested but I’d love to see Foligno back on the team. Middleton would be nice too

 

[thaman8765678]

Please don't fire sale. Do not want the Flames sneaking into 8th and another reason for our ownership to go all in, for a chance to play one playoff series.

 

[BatVader]

I’d take Addison in Winnipeg… any interest in taking a contract back for a bigger return?
Looking to dump Schmidt and his 5.95m

 

[ManofSteel55]

What would you offer?

1st and JP seems fair.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Middleton please

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Hartman + Foligno to the leafs, what would be the cost ?

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

Buffalo could trade for MAF and have the elderly duo take them to the cup (thats if nither breaks a hip). The cost of Pedialyte and Geritol would double but worth it.
