Speculation: Roster Building Thread LXIII - As the bell tolls, who will stay who will go?

[Polar Bear]

Laine to Montreal it looks like

Rip HF Boards for 24 hours, if true.

I think he said they weren't talking, to the best of his knowledge, but he wouldn't be surprised if conversations started again.

Ah, my bad. He said "I don't think the talks are dead," though.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Hope he ends up with another contract in the NHL, poor guy's been to hell and back with his thief parents.

Penguins fanbase will be happier than we if Rangers trade for Eichel for a bag of pucks.

Pitt buying out Jack Johnson

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Jack Johnson is right up there with Magic Johnson as the worlds best porn names.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Domi, kotkaniemi and their first?

I don't know the entire deal, I just know Domi is involved on the Montreal side

 

[Kovalev27]

Not a terrible buyout for Pitt other than the years. 6 for them but it’s not a big hit per season. That’s the right move he’s really really bad

 

[Kupo]

I have to protect my source on this deal. Sorry. He thinks I yapp too much as is

Create a new account with the name NotBBKers to protect yourself.

 

[bl02]

If Montreal doesn’t lose one of suzuki KK or Romanov plus their first holy crap

 

[Thirty One]

Aww, I wonder why

 

[Ruggs225]

Jack Johnson is right up there with Magic Johnson as the worlds best porn names.

what about legendary racecar driver Dick Trickle

And this is why we don’t bother ITKs

Kind of silly for "ITK" people to think they can post rumors, cryptic or specific, and not have people hounding them for more. Have you seen Twitter? It's not going to be different here.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Where is this montreal stuff coming from?

 

[EpicDing]

Where is this montreal stuff coming from?

BBKers said Laine to MTL

 

[NYSPORTS]

Laine to Montreal it looks like

how exciting if the Habs have Laine at RW on line q and Cole Caufield at RW on line 2.

They can each net 40 goals by shooting from their own blue line and finish the season a combine -180 plus/minus

 

[TheDirtyH]

ngl I hate Montreal, but Laine would look really good in a Habs jersey IMO.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Where is this montreal stuff coming from?

BBKers

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

BBKers

I missed it!??!?

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I missed it!??!?

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

ahoy matey!

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

Oh i thought it was hilarious too. Just for different reasons. Check out the soccer page. Some Chelsea fans there too. But I think a lot of the Chelsea fans are also Devils fans.

Don’t want to detract from the Rangers discussion too much but yeah - There are obviously teams that I like more than other teams (Man U is my most hated too) but I don’t fault any North American fan for choosing the team that they did. I started up watching in 2002 because I worked at a summer camp and my room mate was an Irish guy who was a big Liverpool fan and was excited about a new player that was coming in. I didn’t really have an in for European soccer at that point but soccer has quickly become my second favorite sport to hockey.

Shame on any Chelsea fan who supports the Debbies.

I am actually a European fan, not North American. And I started rooting for both Chelsea and NYR around the same time because of my countrymen (Petr Čech and Jágr respectively) playing an important part at that time.

Anyway, to get back on track: I actually feel like the Eichel trade is going to go down or is at least a really serious possibility at the moment. I think that with the culture in the NHL being really tight-lipped in these sort of situations (and with NHL players being generally quite respectful to their current teams, i. e. not throwing public tantrums everytime they dislike something - like Lias did) , there have been too many reputable sources hinting at this for it be just an obscure hypothetical scenario.

With that being said, I am not so sure I like this. I mean, the attacking talent on the roster would be insane, border line all star even. But I am quite afraid we would tehn be forced to contend asap, which could then significantly shorten our window. I am really afraid of another Maple Leafs scenario.

 

[kovazub94]

If Eichel is brought in it's almost guaranteed that Zibanejad is moved before he needs a new contract in two years. In this regard I'm really hoping that Chytil is not part of the deal. I love Buchnevich but if there's a choice between the two - I hope Gorton is able to sell Sabres to take Buch and continue to wait until Chytil is full fledged 2C in two years or less.

ADA, Strome, Buchnevich + Jones, 22OA and next years 1st rounder please

I don’t think that’s fair at all. Twitter is a much larger pool of anonymous users. This is a much smaller population. You can be better than that and control yourself. If you know the ITK is getting heat, don’t push buttons. Don’t tag them, don’t bring their info to the main board/trade board. Keep it in house. It’s not that hard.

what about legendary racecar driver Dick Trickle

I used to work with a guy named Dick Wood.
