GDT: Trade and Free agent Rumours thread | Chayka off-season edition

[Voodoo Child]

I think that neither Point nor Cirelli are waiving their NTC's to move from Tampa Bay to Ohio.

Why the f*** would Point or Cirelli do that?

Then I guess they aren't getting him unless he says it's the only place he's going.

Which sadly is possible.

Moser is a decent piece, a 26 year old 3D maybe more, Geekie is a mystery box and Goncalves is a 3C.

Put this way - if Tampa offered Moser, Goncalves, Geekie and the 23rd pick in the 2027 draft for Knies, what would you say? Now take Knies and double his value and you get Werenski.

Unless he only wants Tampa, it's not enough, not even close.

I agree with your overall point. I would think Sa. O'Reilly would almost certainly be included as well... Just because Waddell seemingly wants primarily NHL players, I'm sure he'd be taking Tampa's best prospect as well.

Werenski: trade me to Toronto or Tampa
CBJ: you're going to Dallas
Werenski: Nope, now I need you to get me to Toronto, doesnt matter what cost, get it done ASAP

Werenski to Toronto
Rielly + 1st ro CBJ

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Doubt it. Or else they would’ve signed him instead of trading for $6M Markstrom who can’t save a beach ball

I don't disagree, we seemingly concur that Tampa has little of significant value to offer Werenski, which was my initial point.

They intentionally clipped that part of the article for rage bait purposes

 

[Buckley]

I think the Bob contract will be much better than people expect. Something like 4 years at $5.25.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Forget Tampa Bay... If Florida jumps in on this and is able to move pieces off their roster to add Werenski, I think I'll just take the year off of watching hockey. That would be awful for the sport given what they've been doing.

Somewhere Bettman would be jerking off in the corner hoping it happens...

 

[cyris]

3x7 I don’t love especially if Stolarz isn’t the odd man out.
But I don’t have the same kind of hate for it I did when it sounded like he wanted more term.

I still wouldn’t be surprised if Hildeby puts up better numbers next year

 

[Duffman955]

Much more palatable

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

I don't see how we get Werenski unless he forces his way here like Kawhi. It's going to take at least Knies + Andrae/Danford + Colorado 1st + Hildeby and that likely doesn't beat the Dallas offer.

Werenski turned down Dallas apparently

Don’t have to beat the Dallas offer, he isn’t willing to go there.

Werenski vetoed Dallas... So unless he can be convinced, it doesn't matter how much Dallas offers, Werenski simply says "no". He's got Waddell by the balls.

 

[Voodoo Child]

I don't disagree, we seemingly concur that Tampa has little of significant value to offer Werenski, which was my initial point.

And CBJ still has him locked in for the upcoming season AND the one after.

Plenty of time to say 'f*** you, do better.'

...

I'd be rolling out a huge wagon for him if it was understood in principle he'd re-sign here (technically tampering but we all know they discuss this).

Think Nylander, Danford and the COL 1st, or Knies, Danford, Cowan, COL 1st and Hildeby. Add Z, still have Matthews, McKenna, JT and one of Knies or Willy up front.

Stay Columbus then.

Could you imagine if Tampa Bay pulled some magic out of their ass and got somebody in their core to wave their no movement clause to get this done?... I doubt it, but what a twist that would be.

They don't need it, plus it would affect the appeal of going there. They have enough to do anyway despite the downplaying that they don't

Also, I would say that there's more than just these two teams involved. I'm thinking Philly or Carolina might like a crack at him as well.

Need to calm down here; let it play out.

 

[Jmo89]

Kawai Tuesday
Werenski Wednesday

What will Thursday bring??

Trochek Thursday?

 

[Superstar]

Aaron Judge

Werenski turned down Dallas apparently

I know, but Columbus has a baseline of his value now that they're going to expect anyone to get close to.

He apparently already rejected a trade to Dallas. So we don’t have to beat their offer. Just the best offer from the teams he would sign with

 

[Rare Jewel]

Panthers...

Wow.

 

[Jmo89]

Somewhere Bettman would be jerking off in the corner hoping it happens...

It's almost 2am... How could you put that imagery in my head?

 

[cyris]

I don’t think anyone that is on his list gets close to that.
It’s a huge offer and most teams don’t have a Harley to include in a deal.

Doesn't really matter though, as the player will waive for who he wants to waive for. Return is moot to the player holding the NMC.
