Rumor: Rumors about trades that almost happened in the last deadline

[Nico Cauzuki]

It's a good thing the Pens didn't trade Pettersson tbh. He looked lackluster last season, but he has been their most consistent defenseman this year.

cant speak for Pettersson but Matheson has been amazing for the Habs didnt think he was that good tbh

 

[stungun54]

Halak Ryder and a 2nd for someone

 

[orby]

Interesting, as Montreal is thrilled with Matheson, at this point, and the consensus is Pettersson wouldn't have been as good a fit.

Matheson being a Montreal native does help, he clearly actively wants to be here.

I don't think Matheson was bad in Pittsburgh either, he just didn't fit with Hextall's vision of the defense...whatever that is, lol.

 

[gvineq]

On ESPN is an article about Red Wings and how they nixed the trade with Flyers (van Riemsdyk).

Are there any other news about almost done trades?

Acording to the arm chair gm's HERE, THE kINGS WERE SECONDS FROM TRADINNG ALL THEIR POSPECTS AND FUTURE PICKS TO AZ FOR cHYCRUN IF az WAS FEELING charitable.

J.T. Miller to Pittsburgh for a package of draft picks including at least 2 firsts, Vancouver declined because they needed a center because shut up.

 

[dirtydanglez]

Why would the Wings even want JVR? He's a UFA and they're out of a playoff spot.

yzerman trying to play 4d chess but ended up playing checkers this year.

You’ve mixed up two different reports. Canucks asked for two firsts, and Pittsburgh offered a package that the Canucks were intrigued by. Doesn’t always mean they offered exactly what we wanted.

And the young Centre thing, Canucks asked around and nobody wanted to deal a young player because the teams that have them, ie Carolina and Kotkaniemi, are in a playoff spot and don’t want picks.

 

[McShogun99]

Cody Ceci for Taylor Hall.

Jarome Iginla in a package to Boston that included Alex Khoklachev

Didn't Ottawa turn down that deal? Hall for Ceci would be way worse then Hall for Larsson.

If Chia was still GM he would have traded Mcdavid for Chychrun, 1 for 1 because the team needs defensive help.

 

[Go Wings]

Kevyn Adams confirmed he was in on Chychrun but that Armstrong wasn’t interested in the Sabres 1st and instead demanded Kulich or Savoie, which…no.

Lmao this is hilarious
So you or your GM wouldn't trade a recently drafted prospect for a top pairing defensemen who is 24 and signed 2 more years at 4.3 million?

The Sabres have Dahlin and Power, I don't think they're too miffed on losing out on Chychrun at the expense of a guy they just drafted 9th.

Call me crazy but if I am Buffalo I am paying whatever futures necessary for Chychrun + Vejmelka and filling massive holes in the lineup. I'm actually glad they passed. They would have been scary.

Kulich was #28

The idea was they were trading another forward, and would need bodies who can at least play in the NHL so they don't get blown out every game and ruin all morale and have young guys thrown in when they're not ready.

They have like a billion draft picks so throwing a later pick is pretty meaningless

 

[HuGo Sham]

TB wanted to trade for Edmundson but didn't have the assets Montreal wanted.
Hughes decided to hold onto him to trade at a later date instead of accept mid-round
picks or maybe a 2nd in 2025

 

[MakoSlade]

Halak Ryder and a 2nd for someone

"What Is Dead May Never Die"

 

[Accelleratii]

This was more about seeing what was out there for the offseason.

Kevin Hayes to Columbus since the Blue Jackets traded Voracek’s cap hit.

The Flyers would have to retain heavily and Philadelphia would have to attach a high pick or solid prospects if Hayes were going to Columbus before the draft.

I doubt this. Retained Hayes is a coveted player for a team like the Blue Jackets. They'll trade assets to get him. Players don't typically sign with the Blue Jackets so trading for players with some term is a good tactic, NTM his buddy Gaudreau plays there and Flyers/Blue Jackets have history trading with one another.

I should add, it appears Chuck Fletcher will be GM for the long haul there so the Flyers could very well package Hayes with some valuable draft capital in return for some "futures".

 

[StickShift]

Per Dreger, the Pens and Canucks were close on JT Miller, but Vancouver ended up balking on the deal because the Pens were only offering draft picks. Vancouver wanted a forward with term coming back in the deal since they decided they "aren't in a rebuild" and they'd need someone to replace Miller in the lineup.

I wonder if part of the mathematics were that VAN/PIT agreed in principle on value—but that either Vancouver or Pittsburgh were looking for a third-team to trade a 1st round pick for a center... which not many teams are looking to give up at the trade deadline.

You’re crazy. Chychrun is under contract for 2 years and is then a FA. If the Sabres were contending for a cup this year I’d consider it. If the Sabres were desperate for a top tier PP QB, I’d consider it. But they aren’t either of those things, so I’d part with what Ottawa parted with. I’d part with Ostlund or Rosen or any other prospect not named, Savoie, Kulich or Levi. But Savoie is a blue chipper, drafted 9th, and Kulich is going to finish this season in the top 5 all time 18 year old scoring in the AHL. The Sabres are not a Chychrun away from being cup contenders. And it really doesn’t seem like Vejmelka was available.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I don't think Matheson was bad in Pittsburgh either, he just didn't fit with Hextall's vision of the defense...whatever that is, lol.

Hextall has a vision?

Man his vision must be really bad, Matheson has been amazing this year, much better than Petry and 3 times the skater. Really happy about that move, hope the penguins fans like Petry

 

[thestonedkoala]

Russo mentioned that Minnesota talked about moving Goligoski but didn't get too far.

 

[AcerComputer]

I was hearing Gretzky to the Leafs

 

[Son of Petter]

And the young Centre thing, Canucks asked around and nobody wanted to deal a young player because the teams that have them, ie Carolina and Kotkaniemi, are in a playoff spot and don’t want picks.

And after all that speculation Allvin said in his presser that there wasn’t much around JT and other people speculated that the only team with real interest/conversations was the Canes.

Was Treliving in on everything until the bitter end as usual

 

[koteka]

Call me crazy but if I am Buffalo I am paying whatever futures necessary for Chychrun + Vejmelka and filling massive holes in the lineup. I'm actually glad they passed. They would have been scary.

Buffalo’s left side for the next decade will be the best in the NHL:

Dahlin (22, 6’3”, 203 lbs, signed through 2024, about to get paid)
Power (20, 6’6”, 215 lbs, signed through 2024, 10.2c so can’t be offer sheeted)
Samuelsson (22, 6’4”, 220 lbs, signed through 2030)

Adding Vejmelka might make sense, but they had no need to give up an asset for Chychrun.

Probably should've opened the vault a little bit and paid the relative pittance it cost to aquire him rather than pay a small discount for worse rentals.

Cody Ceci for Taylor Hall.

Jarome Iginla in a package to Boston that included Alex Khoklachev

Man, I had high hoped for Koko way back when

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

The rumour is that the Carolina Hurricanes were the mystery team that phoned the Canucks on the morning of the TDL regarding JT Miller.
