CBC Hot Stove: Tolvanen, Niku amongst prospects in play

[TT1]

wait till someone has 80-100 games played in their career before pulling out the advanced stats poop not give or take in or around 10 games played

why do you think i asked about his on ice play?

 

[RomanEmpire]

I don’t care if it’s Stone, Duchene, Panarin, etc but we absolutely have to land another top offensive guy.

We’re a one line team. Won’t fly in the playoffs.

 

[GeauxPreds1]

Uh, he's 5'11 165, and he has almost 100 more assists than goals. Let's not take offense when someone accurately describes a player.
Nashville got pummeled by a bigger and faster Winnipeg team last year, we need a big goal scorer. Someone like Stone makes more sense than Panarin, IMO.

I wouldnt mind panarin. He would make the preds a lot better BUT he already said what kind place he would be willing to sign at and nashville isn't one of those places so the point is moot. I wouldn't give Tolvenen for a rental period I don't care who it is. But I would rather have a signed stone for sure and a 1st Tolvenen smith and maybe even another pick if the price got driven up would work for me.

Preds should go after Taylor Hall. Fiala+1st+ prospect for Hall!

 

[Marc Bergevin]

Tolvanen for Armia, Hudon, 2019 first???

 

[Jetsetter]

I'd be stunned if the Jets traded Sami Niku!

 

[Soundgarden]

Would Hall be available?

Tolvanen for Armia, Hudon, 2019 first???

Lol, we're not trading Tolvanen for random crap.

Stone or Duchene. We'd begrudgingly accept Panarin but it'd only be worth it if we won the cup as he won't re-sign.

This is why your f***ing threads get locked mate.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Would like to see the rangers end up with Tolvanen

 

[Gnashville]

Done!! Fiala-1st-Tolvanen for Hall sign me up

The only GMs that would ever give Kypreos anything are blowing smoke. He's just not sharp enough to figure things out.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

Kyperous just makes stuff up and says dumb **** all the time. He said he was hearin Roslovic like a day before it came out that the Jets were refusing to even discuss Roslo

Doesn't mean the team on the other end isn't asking about them.

LD is a big obvious weakness for us, so I also think Niku is pretty unlikely to be traded unless the return is ridiculous and including hin significantly reduces the cost of acquiring the player we're after.

 

[Nickmo82]

Niku is Japanese for meat. I hope he doesn't get traded to the Rangers, because I can't un-know it. I can't hear that 20 times a game and not feel a little weirded out by it.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Who is Niku? I've legitimately never heard of him

 

[Hunter368]

Google AHL defenseman of the year last season.

Google AHL defenseman of the year last season.

Is it not easier to just google 'Sami Niku'?

Would the Preds take a gritty 30 goals scorer in Brendan Gallagher for a young Eeli Tolvanen?

why do you think i asked about his on ice play?

I would say his best asset is his skating and offensive IQ. He's got silk feet and just oozes offensive potential. The first time this year he was put in the lineup for a string of games, you could see his confidence grow significantly where he would go for it rather than make a conservative safe play. He's not as strong in the defensive zone, but has made strides and will come in time. I'm not an advanced stat guy (never took the time to learn it, have nothing against it) but i'd wager that his advanced stats may be skewed from going from the pressbox into top pairing minutes.

1st + Tolvanen for a signed Kevin Hayes

 

[ER89]

Kyperous just makes stuff up and says dumb **** all the time. He said he was hearin Roslovic like a day before it came out that the Jets were refusing to even discuss Roslo

At least we can agree on our shared opinion that kypreos sucks.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I guess you played the insert a turd wheel and took it for a spin?

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Would the Preds take a gritty 30 goals scorer in Brendan Gallagher for a young Eeli Tolvanen?

? I wasn't imagining Gallagher could be available, the Habs are doing great? But I would say yes to that one... with a couple years left at a friendly cap hit, Gallagher going to the net could be just what we need. Tolvanen won't go for any rental, but I'd take this one.

 

[branch]

I assume both will be on the Senators after the deadline.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

1st + Tolvanen for a signed Kevin Hayes

What's the contract? I wouldn't trade that for an un-signed Hayes, that's for sure. But I'm not sure we'd want to sign him either? Don't know that he's worth even his current deal to us, let alone more on a huge term? I can't see giving up our 1st+Tolvanen unless it's a signed Stone/Panarin/Duchene coming back. Hayes isn't in that category.
