The 2017-2018 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

[_Del_]

There are several guys on waivers that are both qualified to be NHLers (if marginally) and better than what we are icing. We'd just have to eat the money.

If we find the market for Schenn and Connauton the to be bloated and irresistible, I'd be fine with Oduya as fill-in for the rest of the season.

We're 6-1-1 since we scratched Schenn. Hope other GMs don't notice, haha.

What time is this deadline tomorrow? Locally? Is it 2pm EST/12pm MST?

That 4th just became a 5th

Seeing Keller, OEL and others get pushed around, I'd like to see them pick-up Stewart. Only owed the remainder of his $1.1m/AAV, UFA after the season.

Sorry to see you go Freddie....

We need to send Dauphin down tomorrow so he qualifies for AHL playoffs.

Haven’t heard a lick about the yotes and their plan of attack tomorrow.

Listen to Natural Hat truck podcast or read the article by Morgan that came out last week. No major moves planned.

 

[moosemeister]

Our biggest move likely already happened

 

[hbk]

Our major moves will happen at draft.

If the Flames miss the playoffs, does Dougie Hamilton become available?

Would you move a non top-2 pick for Hamilton?

We should take a look at Paul Postma is we trade Schenn

I'd think any of the guys with reasonable and expiring contracts would represent a good chance to audition for next year. Potsma and Stewart would be good examples of guys to get an extended look before next the off season and see how Tocchett takes to them and vice versa. I'd prefer Potsma audition to KConn. And Stewart is a floater, but he's big and occasionally mean. And he can throw the mitts. I'd take a skeptical look.

I doubt the older guys like Oduya are looking to sign on a bottom feeder just to extend their careers. So I'd probably pass on a few games of Oduya (I really like him, despite his game trailing off. I just don't see it.)

Also on the Minnesota front, anyone think they are desperate enough for roster and cap space to pay us to take Foligno? I'd love to add some real spark to the bottom six.

Mostly, I'd like us to use the opportunity to take a look with no obligation on a few guys. I'd also include short looks at Dauphin since he's here, Strome, Merkley, etc in Tucson. Send them back, but take a real look.

Sobotka may be available...wonder if we have any interest?

Would you guys be interested in a deal around Allen and Raanta?

Nope

[MIGs Dog]

A late 1st round pick, a meddling D prospect, a very average forward, and unloading of a bust free agent signing for a big bodied proven scorer for a possible Cup run??? Not nearly as bad once you take a closer look at the possible payback. No one left the Bruins that really mattered.

You forgot the 7th Rd pick. Puts the deal clearly in the Rangers win column

 

[hbk]

Would you guys be interested in a deal around Allen and Raanta?

Did you mean Kyrou? If so, yes.

6.5hrs. Add the late calls that always trickle through and we’re 7hrs away. I’ll be following on Twitter I’m sure as HF will cease to be if EK or McDonaugh get dealt today.

 

[rt]

So it seems Ian Cole has less trade value than Holden? How? Holden has term but he’s overpaid and not very good. Cole is a quality 3rd pair D, especially in the playoffs. What does this mean for Schenn? If I were a playoff team, I wouldn’t want either of Holden or Schenn but if I had to have one, it’d be Schenn. The most confusing, and therefore most likely scenario, would be Schenn for a 2019 3rd. Then there’d be just no way to make sense of any of it. LOL.

 

[_Del_]

I'd dump KConn and Schenn both if there is a return, and then pick up Potsma and Oduya.

Imagine if the Coyotes are drafting 3rd (again) and this trade is on the table

Probably depends on the status of OEL negotiations. If they don't think they can resign OEL, could see Chayka moving the 3rd for Hamilton.
