News: Russo: Guerin looking to make significant moves

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

No way he can move Parise.

I think Koivu should be traded to either Tampa, Boston, Washington or Pittsburgh. Would think Pittsburgh is the best fit.

 

[Stickpucker]

If the Leafs can’t make it work for adding a d-man of significance, I’d like them to look at adding Koivu to shore up their third line. Talk about having a true shut down centre.

You can have Jordan Staal with all his Canadian character instead. Bring him home

Parise isn't a bad player at all at $5M or $5.5M

So does that mean Foligno is on the trade list now? Pens could use him on our 3rd line.

Finnish pride doesn't take a backseat to Canadian character.

Don't see it with you guys not having a 2nd rounder this year.

 

[AKL]

f*ck. Why would we want any part of Ladd and take on recapture risk?

Cause NYI is gonna send us their 1st and a cool prospect guy

Is that enough for the risk that he could absolutely bone us over?

I’m willing to call the NHL’s bluff at this point.

They won’t be moving Parise unless Guerin has nudes of another manager.

The report is literally that another GM has asked about him for two years now.

 

[MuckOG]

They won’t be moving Parise unless Guerin has nudes of another manager.

Russo said that the same team that was calling about Parise last year is calling about him again. Won't say which team it is though.

Montreal so they can get Weber to screw Nashville and Parise to screw the Wild.

What would Koivu fetch?

Flyers have some near ready NHL prospects.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Who the hell would trade for Parise with the contract he has? Retaining money isn't going to help anything, the problem is that he's at an age where players start falling off and he has a shitload of years left on his deal. Parise may not be overpaid right now if the Wild retain some money, but he's going to be overpaid even at 50% in a couple of years.

It's why moving long and cheaper contracts is harder than expensive but short contracts. You can retain money, you can't retain years. Parise is old enough and signed for long enough that no one should want him even at 50%.

Someone with a similarly awful contract to send back? We saw Milan Lucic get traded last summer. We're through the looking glass.

What are Dumba and Brodin worth?

Koivu wouldn’t fetch much I’d bet, maybe a 2nd at most, a 3rd, something like that.

 

[GKJ]

Even if they're trying to move Parise, those types of trades happen in the summer, not the trade deadline.

 

[AKL]

What are Dumba and Brodin worth?

Word on the street is they only go for top 6 centers

Someone is literally asking about him for the second year

I believe it. It's still a trade that happens in the summer. Not saying it's impossible, but you just don't see guys with that kind of term moved at the deadline, when a lot of teams are counting pennies to stay under the cap.

I can think of like 5 players with contracts as bad as Parise's who may trade that guy for Parise. Not exactly a thriving market, especially considering Parise would probably block trades to a lot of the teams I'm thinking of.

I think Lucic, Seabrook, Neal, Turris and Skinner (he's been so bad this year that he should be on this list) are the only guys I can think of quickly that have as bad contracts as Parise does. Maybe Nashville would do Turris for Parise, which Parise may say yes to, but I doubt he'd waive for the other teams.

I get that you're probably looking at 3 or 4 years from now, but Parise isn't Lucic, Ladd, Eriksson or Okposo yet.

Love to have Eric Staal as the Oilers 3C/2nd PP C.
No idea what his value is these days
