Speculation: Roster Building Frenzy Part XX

[HatTrick Swayze]

Joe's brother also tried saying Zibanejad was getting traded tomorrow, like 2 weeks ago

That’s not what he said...he said to “watch him”...could be trade, extension, captaincy, who knows.

This guy doesn't eat meat, I don't trust him

Like I said.... acquiring Eichel, I am only for it if we do not give up Kravtsov, Lundkvist, or Chytil.

Schneider, Jones, Robertson, Georgiev, Othmann, Barron, Gauthier, Berard, Cuylle, Reunanon, 22/23 firsts and seconds, any combination there is on the table.

You also do have to realize that Eichel in means Zibanejad and Strome out almost certainly. Can't afford otherwise, so.... I'd be moving on to dealing Strome after that and then also asking Zibanejad where he will waive to, and see if I can get a center prospect in return for him.

ive had this feeling in my gut for about 2 months he’s gona be a ranger.
I’m going on record saying dvorak would be the cheaper better move at this juncture. But Eichel would be a force here. I hope we don’t pay too much.

I think a 1st, Jones, plus Georgiev and Dvo would have been a ranger. Smh

Me: the Islanders are trending internationally? WTF?
Twitter: Love Island contestants are called Islanders and Love Island is also trending


Ohhhh. Yeah, makes sense that some crappy show would be more popular than a second-rate team

They did just sign Pelech to a pretty nice deal

Why would they name a captain in the middle of the summer? lol
Whatever he meant by it, it didn't come true

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Yeah, but they didn’t trend when they announced that

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

This is the past tweet I was thinking of. I guess they did gun for Danault and some rumblings about Goodrow as 3C.

If the last couple weeks have shown us anything is that no one knows what Drury is going to do

so I’m skeptical Vally has some sort of inside info

We're such a secretive organization that even Drury himself doesn't know what he's going to do

OTOH, what does he gain by being purely speculatory? There’s probably something to it even if it never materializes.

He likes to troll? Idk haha

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yea, no way Vally is tweeting that unless he has something concrete. I’m nervous, very nervous.

He'd be tarnishing his reputation by trolling about something so significant, I think there's smoke around this one

Remind everyone of his sweet mask.

I have no idea what they are going to do, but the cap space Not currently being used indicates to me they are going to do something eventually.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

DON'T do that to me right now!!!!

 

[ZiGOODejad]

I don’t believe him. Valley seems like the kind of guy who gets his jolly’s off to f***ing with the fans.

Killorn is a winger. The centers on that team were Point, Cirelli, Gourde, Johnson. I dont think anyone in Tampa would trade those straight up for Zibanejad, Strome, Chytil and Rooney. Chytil on that team would be 3rd or 4th line.

I present without comment, the 21 year old seasons of those four centers:

Point: 40 points in 68gp with 17+ TOI/G and PP time.
Cirelli: 39 in 82gp.
Gourde: Not yet in the NHL. Didn't break into the league until age 24 and wasn't a regular until age 26.
Johnson: See above. Johnson broke into the league at age 22 and wasn't a regular until age 23.

Of the four, the only one who was better than Chytil at the same age was Point, and he got better usage/opportunity.

You troll! Lmao, I just saw OFFICIAL and thought oh god Eichel got traded here

Oh God?

Haven't you been pushing for this? Or are you going to pull the okie-doke on this too if it happens?

Idk man

He’s an analyst not a insider journalist with a reputation

this isn’t Brooks tweeting Stepan won’t be traded and than an hour later they trade Stepan

 

[EdJovanovski]

Oh God?

I didn't mean oh god in the sarcastic sense, meant like I was shocked. I do support trading for Eichel, if Kravtsov isn't in the deal
