Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XVIII

Taylor Hall being held out of the line up tonight. Maybe he gets traded soon and some teams circle back on Kreider.

I suspect Kreider could be of interest to teams post-Hall, in the same sense that Hayes was of interest to more teams post-Duchene.

Neither guy was/is viewed as the first domino to fall, but they’re similar in the sense that there’s going to be a solid market.

Wonder if this will affect players coming over to the NHL sooner and/or more often

This is excellent, I think. The KHL appears to be a very evolved league. I watched some of their TV broadcasts, too. They are very impressive. Just seems like a first class operation in general, despite the lower budgets.

Are people taking crazy pills? We arent trading Trouba

just a hunch, but I'm expecting to St. Louis for Pietrangelo.

Those same sites were updated for Panarin who played a later game

Regarding the legs, I'm talking g about the numerous knee injuries. They are a ticking time bomb

Who has the knee injury history?

Who has the knee injury history?

He's talking about Fabbri- one injury to one knee, coming back too early and reinjuring it in training camp.

Hall going early could do a lot for Kreider's deadline value. Especially if he can get hot between now and then.

FWIW, Bob is poo-pooing my hunch.

I bet they'll get more for him than Adam Larsson, but that's still unfortunate for New Jersey that they couldn't get him signed.

Hayton+?

Please, that would be hilarious.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hayton+?

Please, that would be hilarious.

Why would that be hilarious?

I hope he doesn't go to AZ so we could send Kreider there with an extension.

Kreider would probably block that destination. But if Colorado and St. Louis miss out on Hall, that gives us more bidders for CK.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Why would he be good with Chytil?

The Czech Republic is a country not a wine club.

If it was a wine club, would their president be renamed "Cork Master"? Hoping you get the reference

Of course I get the reference, I went to Harvard!

Trading players at the deadline that have an expiring contract, with a new extension rarely ever happens.

If the Rangers would like to deal with the Avs, it would be best for them if Hall went to the Blues.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

I think that there is no chance that Barron is jumping straight from college to the NHL. I actually think that he stays another year.

Curious, how come?

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

If the Rangers would like to deal with the Avs, it would be best for them if Hall went to the Blues.

Avs make so much sense. They could use another scorer and are weak at LHD. It's a shame Skjei has such a long term contract. He'd be good for them but they have too many RFAs next year which they'll need to resign as their window is open.

Pageau or Kreider will end up on Colo or STL it just depends which to where. If it's the Avs I can see Jost and the 1st. Kaut hasn't been that great in the AHL, at least Jost is a serviceable bottom 6er.

 

[wafflepadsave]

Just wanted to give you guys this update

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Dater is saying the Avs are out, but it’s Dater so who knows

Hall is probably too rich for Sakic’s blood

St Louis makes a lot of sense, they’ve already won a cup. So if they go for it this year and don’t win again, they’ve already got a championship to please people

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I'm assuming the package for Hall will look something like a top 3-5 prospect in a teams pool, a younger NHL player that hasn't put it all together but has potential, a 1st and a conditional 1st if that team makes the cup finals.
