Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

coukd be, nyihockeynow article mentioned a middle round pick which I guess I’d consider.

I wouldn’t mind any of the players mentioned in that article(esp. Sissons for Bailey ) . We need some snarl up front so Jeannot would fit for sure.

The real target for Lou should be Ekholm. He was on our radar last year and if it would take Wahlstrom or a first , I’d do it . The article mentions 2 first rounders for Ekholm which is crazy. He would solidify the d and finally get Dobson the d partner Lou’s been looking for.

Ekholm has big cap hit for three more years following So there would need to be retention or he’s traded in deal that sees Pageau go other way, something where isles get Ekholm and Scissons in deal

I don't see Trotz trading players for picks. I don't see him as a rebuild guy. More of a retool guy. So I'm curious who that get back for Tanner.

He was a big Bailey fan

 

[periferal]

Oh for f***s sake.

No idea what to make of this, but the dude did score 24 goals in 21-22 (basically his first full season). Only 5 goals in 56 games this year though.

We can only hope

 

[MarsTBOW]

Meier deal interesting. I read it wrong at first....

 

[LeapOnOver]

I don’t know if it’s plausible but some are saying if Miller is suspended it can have cap implications and possibly affect the Kane deal lol that would be hilarious. NYR are holding guys out to gain cap space lol

Is it me or does Halak look likes he's coked out on the bench?

Gotta stay into the game somehow when you’re a backup

 

[The Wahligator]

I’m sorry WHAT???

 

[Not4u]

I’m sorry WHAT???

I feel like they do this every year...granted they went to the finals the last 3

 

[periferal]

I’m sorry WHAT???

What in the actual f***!?!?!

I'm scared to think that that 5th in 2023 was the asset that outbid Lou.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

I’m sorry WHAT???

I usually think BriseBois knows what he’s doing, but I don’t know about this. That is A LOT.

Love the player but I can’t in good conscience do that trade.

 

[crashthenet]

I’m sorry WHAT???

I hope this doesn't mean we missed an opportunity to unload Aho.

TB bidding like a serial Ebayer. That seems like a whole lot.

 

[nyisles]

JBB must be on the good shit today

 

[SI90]

Brisebois is drunk!! GM
Barry Trotz with the heist of the century!!


Sell Lou Sell

In what world is Tanner f***ing Jeannot worth that much?? Had a great year last year, he hits, Fights, and plays hard but what the actual f***. He has no track record. May never have that type of season ever again. Remember Trent Hunter lol

 

[periferal]

Lou for Barry GM swap. What do we have to add...?

Shit. We're going to have to add more than I thought.

 

[SI90]

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Oh gawd. Still somehow Lou's fault. So weird.

 

[JRD76]

Asking for 2 firsts? That's crazy

 

[MJF]

What a f***ing overpay for Tanner Jeannot. If this was fantasy league the trade would have been overturned.

 

[SI90]

We did amazing landing Horvat

Everybody in the east is getting better, they had to do something. As for us we have to make another move. If we sneak in and we get the Devils well let’s just look at the top 2 lines.

Timo Meir-Nico Hishier-Dawson Mercer vs. Anders Lee-Bo Horvat-Matthew Barzal
Yegor Sharanovich-Jack Hughes-Jesper Bratt vs. Zach Parise-Brock Nelson-Kyle Palmier

The first line we can compete with them but that second line OMG!!!!!

We need to upgrade on the left wing or we could face an uphill battle. Three over 30 forwards to deal with the Devils second line is just way to much to ask for. As crazy as it might sound I’d rather face the Bruins in the first round. At least they are old like us.

Last I checked goalies are more valuable then mid 6 wingers… there is no way Varly stays now right ? Even if he signed a nice deal for us to extend… the return is just more valuable. Have to think his return would be at worst a 1st and at best a 1st, 2nd and something smaller

That’s such a massive overpayment by TB other GMs aren’t going to be bent over just because TB went insane. That trade doesn’t set the market. It’s an anomaly. It’s the first time a team has traded a 1st,2nd,3rd,4th, and 5th flung draft pick(s) on a single trade.
