Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2018-19 - Part VIII

[Neuf]

A leaked rumour that Winnipeg-boy Stone wants to only sign in Winnipeg would certainly diminish Vegas willingness to part with their top end prospects like Glass... if, of course, that were true.

Vegas bluffed interest to raise prices. Winnipeg bluffed homecoming desire.
Nashville takes Stone?

and that is the million dollar question, I have heard that yes he would like to play here but I have also heard that the opposite is true

If I was going to get the same money whether I played in Vegas or by family I'd rather be in the same city as my family. As he is 27 and that's the age most players start having family and I'd much rather grandma babysits then some stranger. Hopefully, that's his mindset too.

Perfect, and destroys what small prospect pool that they did have!

 

[stimpsoncat]

I like having a gm that wont overpay. Chevy will have his price and wont go over. If vegas does, then stone goes there - no biggie. Not going to lose any sleep watching vegas spend their cap and trade their future to try to thwart us. Chevy will just go plan b and get what he wants somewhere else like last year. Besides, we have the horses to beat anyone, stone or no stone.

That's exactly what i did around that age though im not a professional hockey player with millions of dollars involve on the table.

 

[CupInSIX]

At this point Vegas's involvement reeks as a move to make us over pay. They got burned last year by actually going through with a prevent trade. I think this time it's a bluff.

Why are you making up lies?

 

[The don godfather]

If you guys get stone and duchene boy does that tilt the entire west. It's gonna be a nuclear arms race toward the deadline. So exciting cause I love big boy trades.

 

[folix]

Why are you making up lies?

I'm ready to start a giant political type smear campaign I'll do whatever it takes.

 

[jgimp]

Did we made a trade yet?


One more week and im getting nervous

All this stress is giving me the scoots!

Tanev is great with Lowry, add it Copp and they are a dynamite trio this season.

I cant believe the disrespect Tanev is getting from our own fans with the season he is having.

It's right there for everyone to see every game...

some prefer to live on graphs and charts.

OT could be crazy.

 

[folix]

Our coach is a cup-blocker

 

[Keystone]

And Mark Stone immediately resigns with Sens to ensure no trade to lifeless Jets where hockey is hard.

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

No doubt.

I question your ability to assess if your assessment of Tanev is a player riding Lowry’s coattails that doesn’t drive play and is a one dimensional player.

Also question if you actually watch

 

[jokesondee]

I don't know if were going to get Stone or Duchene but this teams needs someone to give them a shot in the arm. Theyre playing uninterested lazy hockey and have been for quite a while now. Two loses in a week against Ottawa. That is a team the Jets should absolutely burry. Avalanche too. It seems like theyre resting on their laurels, expecting to make the playoffs. Someone should tell Wheeler to pump the brakes.

You said it not me lol

Honestly, comping him to Burrows is getting less and less far fetched...

 

[jgimp]

At this point should we even be looking at a trade? Something is definitely off and we would be lucky to make it past the first round. We can’t even beat bottom feeders right now

Neither can Toronto. Nashville has lost some bad games to bottom feeders too. Just the way she goes. Can't win every single game.

Tell that to Tampa Bay

Tell that to Tampa Bay

They are without a doubt the best team in the league but we beat them.

Yeah you go from rentals to shake up. Problem is the ship is sinking and the coach is refusing to inflate the life boats

I don't agree that Perreault has been bad this year. He has performed well in the roles given to him. But I'm pretty sure he won't be here next season.

I would not add him to a package that is probably already too high. I would swap him in for a lesser piece to improve the package. I think that would be an ideal way of giving it that last little push to get it done.

Perreault has been pretty bad lately.

Dorion is trying for too much. Chevy will wait. According to the 'insiders' Dorion is also still trying to sign all of his UFA's. Don't know if there is anything to that or not. I think it is more likely just Dorion holding firm on his too high ask. He will have to budge when the deadline is close.

Dorion leaks rumours constantly to try to influence the market. Best to ignore most of the rumours and wait and see what Chevy does.

 

[Whileee]

it's probably close but i think Tolvanen is a more highly regarded prospect, but i dont watch him so i have 0 clue. WPG & NSHs 1sts will be within a few spots of each other so likely a wash

I might be in the minority but I've always preferred Vesalainen to Tolvanen. They both have a good skillset and great shots, but Vesalainen is a much better skater and is much bigger. I think his game will translate to the NHL better.
