Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XIV (To trade or not to trade is the question)

[McRanger92]

There's really no good reason why Drury shouldn't be able to get good value for Kreider if he goes that route.

Extremely reasonable cap hit in a cap growth environment. Real $ owed is less than the cap hit.

I think there would be plenty of teams outside the playoffs who are interested in him as well. All depends on the 15 team NTC

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Ideally id like to see a deal for Kreider look like this (with 50% retention - Kreider with just a $3.25M cap hit AND less real money owed should get a pretty decent haul)

Young NHL player (e.g. Stank from the Stars), B prospect and a 1st.

If we're not keeping Borgen, maybe we trade him to Dallas along with Kreider for Dumba++.

That saves Dallas some cap next year and the ++ should be pretty good in that scenario.

I thought the ++ was for ss at first

 

[Ruggs225]

I dont understand why. I dont even understand why he was called up.

I like him, but he should be in the Ahl honing his game

 

[effen]

They're almost definitely keeping Borgen the more I think about it regardless of how much they tank.

This kinda guy is who they would go out and get in FA anyway. They took less magic beans for Kakko to get him.

They like what he did and think he's ready?

It doesn't have to be a cynical sideshow distraction, they could believe in him as a player too.

 

[lakeshirts37]

Dallas fans say Stars have no interest in Kreider (or Panny for that matter)....they will go with their younger players.

Theyre clueless

I think that they think he's got enough of a skill set and toolbox to be molded for success here. Big and mobile, and can be tough when called upon. These trades are usually done for skill sets more than circumstances for subpar performance.

Is your + + like a 1st and Bischsel?
WTF are we doing with Dumba? He's a shell. Negative value.

 

[zlev]

they're not going to give up Bichsel for Kreider

HFNYR: you're crazy, this package with 1 good prospect and 1 decent NHL player is way too much to give up for a 26 year old elite 1C
also HFNYR: we'll probably get a 1st and a teams best prospect for our 33 year old rapidly declining winger

Brendan Smith 2.0...yippee

 

[will1066]

Brendan Smith 2.0...yippee

You will be assimilated

 

[Bob Richards]

Brendan Smith 2.0...yippee

Absolute joke you would insult 3rd pairing defenseman AND 4th line winger Brendan Smith.

He’s the Shohei Ohtani of depth NHL players.

 

[McRanger92]

Jones getting scratched. I like the kid but as he's gained ice time he's gotten worse. Its' not a size thing but he has worse pinching instinct than Odell Miller.

Im gonna bet after the freeze he goes for a depth forward and Vesebone gets waived.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

jones scratched lmao.

Lindgren with the longest leash ever.

 

[McRanger92]

jones scratched lmao.

Lindgren with the longest leash ever.

It's a take the toys away situation at this point

 

[Ruggs225]

Lineups out?

 

[McRanger92]

Lineups out?

Rempe, Borgen in. Jones, Vesey out. Breadman GTD.

 

[I Eat Crow]

they're not going to give up Bichsel for Kreider

Where is he playing? He has Lindell and Harley ahead of him on the left side even if Heiskanen is full time on the right side.

Bischel is absolutely in play for Kreider at 50% off.

 

[Ruggs225]

Rempe, Borgen in. Jones, Vesey out. Breadman GTD.

Well vesey deserved to be benched. He is awful at this point.

Lindgren still playing is so Rongos.

 

[will1066]

So it looks like Borgen will be with Schneider. Who plays the left side?

 

[Ruggs225]

We basically play position less hockey anyway so whats the difference

 

[McRanger92]

Schneider. he actually looked good there for a time before Lindgren got back when he was paired with Rembrandt

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Theyre clueless

They dodged f***ing bullets, that's what they did.

That Robinson + 1st for Kreider trade, that was alleged to have been on the table, would have been grand larceny for us.
