Speculation: Trade and Free Agency Talk - 2022-23 Edition - Postseason Success can't be a Myth!

[Mnsportsfan22]

I know it's early and things can turn around but what would people be willing to trade if the season is lost around deadline time? There is a fine line of breaking it to far down for next year and wasting a sell opportunity in a good draft coming up.
Dumba, Hartman, fluery if he waives, Middleton? Can we get a first out of anyone?

Far too many variables to answer that. Best bet would be dumba and Foligno if you’re hoping for a first. Maybe both fetch one maybe neither do.

You guys want hometown boy Brocket 99 Boeser for a 7th round pick and one full Muddy Paws Cheesecake?

Yes.

What's his story, sucks this year?

 

[Petey O]

Yes.

What's his story, sucks this year?

Slow, doesn't really have his shot together, uninspired. Looks like last season's Boeser, but now without an excuse of an ailing father.

And the Canucks could better allocate his cap.

We'll give you both of our goalies and their combined 6.33 GA/game

No no that's okay. Just take Boeser for a 7th and some cheesecake.

I’d ask Fluery to retire or he gets bought out. I’m guessing he retires. I’d trade Dumba for anything that starts with a 2nd. Hes obviously lost any offensive ability he once had. I’d trade Zucc at the deadline and hope for a first.

It’s a f***ing disaster. This team could have been a contender for the whole Kap/Fiala years and now we are completely f***ed. There is zero chance Kap stays here and who can blame him.

You mean he didn't come here to play with 1C Tyson Jost?

Time to get Rask on the phone...

What would you guys say our top 3 positional needs are? I’ve got:

#1 Starting Goaltender
#2 1st Line Center
#3 Big, Gritty Defensive Defenseman

Goalies and Kap line center, Boldy line center. So basically same s*** different year.

You guys are scoring a lot of goals. Seems to me the only thing you really need is a proper goaltender and a evening of teambuilding for the defensemen and you are good to go.

Basically yes, replacement level goaltending and we are 2-1 minimum right now. The D has improved each game while the goalies have gotten more and more questionable. The offense looks great and team overall looks like it could be top tier if they had someone that could save a beachball.

The PP is working (too well to be sustainable), but 5v5 scoring is pretty slow. None of the lines are really working well together.

The goaltending is just dragging everything down. They haven't had a lead at all and are playing from behind 50 mins of every game.

Is there a Devan Dubnyk type trade available right now?

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Is there a Devan Dubnyk type trade available right now?

Not really.

Nedeljkovic is a pending UFA and the Wings signed Husso through 2025 and have Sebastian Cossa in the pipeline is the only thing that comes to mind

 

[Wabit]

Is there a Devan Dubnyk type trade available right now?

Reimer from SJS? Stalock from CHI? Anderson from BUF?

There are a few teams in need of goaltending and no team is really out of it yet. So I'd guess it would be an overpay.

 

[AKL]

I don't think we should be making any trades whatsoever right now. You don't buy your way out of this. It'd just be a waste of assets with this many faults on the roster.

Holtby signing? I wouldn’t be opposed to letting McIntyre get a few games.

Don't count on it

Braden Holtby to miss next season with injury, retirement a possibility | TSN

Veteran goalie Braden Holtby will be an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday, but he won't be signing with a team, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.

Giving McIntyre the net would be like giving Rossi some actual linemates he can play with, except McIntyre hasn't done anything to deserve the opportunity as Rossi has.

McIntyre it is.

Russo talking about how the Wild handled Rossi is pretty eye opening. Didn’t even tell him what he did wrong.

The Athletic live after the game last night. I’m only like 15 minutes in and it’s over an hour long.
