Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVII

[Tom W]

I don't post here often, but I had a trade idea (not sure if this is the place) . Zack Jones to Edmonton for their 19th pick in the draft ( they need a lefty D). We would then flip the 19th and our 65the to Ottawa for their two second rounders 39 and 42. or to Detroit for two second rounders 38 and 48.

LMAO!! Zac Jones is no where near a #1 pick. Never happen

It’s a shit draft and his stock has grown a lot so I don’t think it’s that much of a reach.

In the new Friedman article he says Canucks are looking to move Holtby would a deal for 9 & Holtby for 15 work? Gives us a replacement if we move Geo and clears space for the Canucks to sign more bad big defensemen.

The Canucks supposedly rejected an offer for Holtby from Seattle, and there are 5-8 teams interested in him.

Rumor: - Sportsnet Macintyre: Canucks rejected a deal for Holtby to Seattle They feel they have better offers

If there's any truth to that at all, then Vancouver isn't paying someone to take him.

Will it though? I mean I hope so, but I'm done thinking the 200 hockey men will entertain us.

I don't understand the logic here. For starters, we gave up #26 and #48 for #22 a few years ago to select Miller. So #19 and #65 for #39 and #42 (or #38 and #48) seems like a really bad deal. Beyond that, why do you want two 2nd rounders? Even if the players we take with those picks become NHLers, you're talking several years down the road. We need guys who can play now.

I think we need players more than picks but couldn’t you just call Ottawa ask what they want for two second rounders? And who do you want in this weird draft?

Seravalli on his DFO podcast which dropped this morning, says that if he he had to handicap it, Rangers are the favorite for Eichel and that they are actively trying to get inside the top 10 to flip that pick to Buffalo.

Could make sense if you figure Buch goes to VAN or LAK for their first and we then flip that pick to BUF.

2. Groin both times. We forget because it’s better that we do but he missed the first 2 games of the play in with a groin injury.

he’s had groin issues going back to his time in Russia.

he also had an ankle injury during his first run as well thst cost us games

 

[Daves a mess]

I woke up at 5ish to take a piss and looked at Twitter and that hack had the same layout and everything as LB. Should have paid better attention to the details. I feel more shame than Cersei Lannister.

Dress her bodyguard against the Caps.

I thought I wrote a 19th pick in the first round

 

[Hitch16]

Seravilli: Hopefully the podcast was recorded earlier in the week and the Eichel news is obsolete. Minnesota?

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I had this weird premonition that if Wallstedt is there are 16 we select him, if not we move the pick

There are probably other ways to get a deal done, but I'm guessing that Eichel isn't going to be a Ranger today if that's the only acceptable route for Buffalo. Historically, trades inside the top 10 rarely, if ever, happen.

Over the past 10 drafts, the only 4 teams not to make their top 10 picks were NJ (2012), Arizona (2017), Ottawa (2019) and SJ (2020). AZ and NJ traded their picks on draft day. Both Ottawa and SJ were a result of trades that took place well before each draft. Even so, that's 4 out of 100 top 10 picks picks that were traded over the last 10 years...

Unless Drury has the rest of the Eichel offer in place and agreed on, it sounds quite ambitious for us to go out and acquire a top 10 pick and then compile an offer for a player like Eichel over the next 12 hours.

Or we can trade them for other assets. I still think we need to keep the pipeline going.

I was figuring 5mx5 for Shety yet 6m seems plausible to me.

napkin, would be

~39m used on 6 players who are signed for 3 year or more years (Panarin, Trouba, Shesty, Kreider, Goodrow, Lindgren)

~5 -6m in dead space to buyouts, bonus overage, IR wiggle room

~37M left to use on 17 players to make a 23 man roster over the next 3 years.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Will it though? I mean I hope so, but I'm done thinking the 200 hockey men will entertain us.

Think of it this way: 31 new players in the NHL

 

[Fitzy]

Maybe Seattle plays us all and starts collecting draft picks and prospects by retaining contract value on a bunch of 3 way trades this evening.

 

[MarkMessyay11]

I really don't advocate for selecting a goalie in the 1st round but I wouldn't hate it if we selected Wallstedt...unless there's a C that free falls outside of the top 10.

Might be a moot point though. We're either not picking at 15 and / or Wallstedt will likely be gone by then.

If we're going to trade into the top-10, I'd rather just take Kent Johnson

 

[SA16]

Don’t we already have a goalie prospect in Olof Lindbom?
