Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LIV

[cheech70]

Elias Lindholm so what would be a fair trade ? Supposedly we have a on going conversation with the Flames so maybe we can put together a package that helps both teams?

This will be my last reply for a while as well. We're done with lunch, but doing other activities.

Georgiev will be a guy who the team considers moving. They view his value as being worth a bottom six player, or a higher second round pick. There are teams expected to have interest in him and those conversations will likely continue to take place.

His fate exists seperately from Lundqvist. I would say the odds of Lundqvist staying are not favorable at this point. Lundqvist is a potential buy-out candidate (obviously they would love he retired and they could celebrate his career in a number of interesting ways).

Staal I think is here for next year. I think they ride out that storm.

HF posters remain gathered around @Edge home for additional breaking news

Canadiens trade 5th round pick for UFA rights to Edmundson.

Imagine being told in the summer of 2017 that of Shattenkirk, Lundqvist and Staal, Staal is the last man standing from buyouts

God

Edge previously floated Buchnevich's name as a piece that Calgary has repeatedly expressed interest in

Sign of our times that my immediate reaction to this is "AAAAAH. NO MASKS. WHY AREN'T THEY WEARING MASKS?"

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Thank you very much for the juice @Edge

He would have fit our needs nicely. Will be interesting to see what MTL gives him.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Well, he IS a big Billy Squire fan...

Ummm...

I've been a huge Buch fan from the moment we drafted him, and I would do a deal centered on Buch+ for Lindholm in a hot second.

Rangers should do this with Fast.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Ummm...

Hahaha.

Needless to say, I am not quite as big a Billy Squier fan.

I'd prefer to not get rid of Buchnevich this year, but this is something I'd absolutely consider doing

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Hard to imagine they'd get anything more than a 7th for him

 

[Ghost of jas]

I could see a better piece from Philly if AV has any say.

Agreed. I love Buchnevich and have no interest in moving him for futures. I've seen some here talking about Buchnevich for Edmonton's 1st and I don't find that enticing at all. With Lafreniere this year and Kakko last, the window has been moved up. You trade Buchnevich, or DeAngelo, only in a hockey trade for a young established player to shore up areas of weakness to complement our strengths (wing, RD). Can't continue to obsess over acquiring draft picks when the pipeline is already oozing with talent that will either be on the team next year, or are already 1yr+ into their development and arrival is on the horizon.

I thought it was Squire too

I know stroke me cuz funny euphemism hahahaha

To me billy Squier is kinda like Bryan Adams if he actually rocked. From the songs of his I heard at least. I mean both basically have two songs lol

 

[Trxjw]

Brodin is an interesting name. The fact that he's a UFA at the end of the year is a double-edged sword. He'll need a bigger deal but the team could do a wink-and-handshake deal and not have to expose him to Seattle, thus keeping most of their D in tact. Though that's only really an issue if the team still has DeAngelo on the roster at that point, which I think is a stretch. Minny supposedly wants a scoring center. Would they be interested in Strome? Rangers want some more north-south guys and were rumored to like Greenway previously. Maybe Brodin and Greenway for Strome and 22?

Though if the Wild move Dumba, maybe DeAngelo is a surprise target for them to replace that offense from the blue line.

They'll just wait it out and offer him 4x4 on oct 9th

 

[Ghost of jas]

I'm pretty sure in past conversations that @Edge has said the Rangers still see Lindholm as a center, so if you move Buch for Lindholm, you're playing him at center, with either Strome or Chytil moving to the wing.

Yeah, as @Edge has mentioned repeatedly, the situation was quite different last year when EDM's pick was the potential return, because a) we hadn't yet won the Lafreniere lottery and b) Zegras was the very specific target.

I would say the opposite, and that Bryan Adams has less discernable traits of interest than anyone this side of Jon Bon Jovi.

 

[Krams]

I'm pretty sure in past conversations that @Edge has said the Rangers still see Lindholm as a center, so if you move Buch for Lindholm, you're playing him at center, with either Strome or Chytil moving to the wing.

Or, it makes Strome expendable and you see if you can move him for a LD.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Can we get Kulak for cheap?
