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

[Torontonian]

Re; trading Knies McCabe etc.... I don't think anything should be off the table.. People tend to forget, you need to give to get.

Would I prefer not to trade McCabe, yes.. But I'm most defiantly willing to trade him if it makes Toronto a better team.

I have a friend who is stupid enough to believe the crap that Eklund posts. He emailed me this link this morning:

Per Source AUSTIN Matthews to San Jose for #2 AND #9 + ON THE TABLE... Kyrou Dealt.

SHARKS move Eklund and set up Blockbuster (e4)

Since that pathetic loser is saying it, there is zero chance it happens.

It's a completely unrealistic suggestion. Matthews is pretty much the last thing San Jose needs.

Still reeling from seeing the 4th overall be traded for Byram.

I mean, Carlo was right there for the taking.

Don’t give me hope Pagnotta

Let’s get something going

Pagnotta on LMT says Knies for the fourth was on the table, but he doesn't know what else would have been included to make it work so it never got close. He also said Leafs are not trading Knies unless it's a pretty huge overpay, hinting that it's not likely happening.

Pagnotta says the Leafs have fielded calls on pretty much everyone. He doesn't see McCabe or OEL traded -- they will be part of the d core going into next season but of course one call can change that.

Rielly speculation is early in the process. Hard to say what it could look like but there is serious interest. Open to a lot of scenarios, but it's not seen as a salary dump type trade.

Not sure of the type of return Carlo could get. Quite a few teams need RHD and there is a market, but return is dependent on the type of trade it is.

 

[whawhawhat]

Is lazy Chayka waken from his sleep yet, lol.

He's working the lunch rush at Wendy's. At least give him until his 15 minute break. Geez.

Knies is worth quite a bit more than Byram currently as a player imo

Knies for 4th OA + Crevier (I value at a late 1st or early 2nd ) + 45th OA I would have passed on

My ask for Knies from the hawks was:

Knies for 4th OA + Rinzel/Crevier/Vlasic + Lardis but I guess the Hawks wanted to get a dman and then will look at a quality top 6 winger elsewhere.

I think its telling that OEL hasn't been mentioned once since Chayka's been GM. Lets not forget he attempted to build Arizona around him. But yeah, if we trade those 3 the defense is in need of some serious upgrades.

OEL-Raddysh
Andrae-Tanev
Rifai-Villenueve

Woof lol

That looks horrible.

 

[Warrior16]

Maybe something around a Carlo/Spence based trade?

 

[dubplatepressure]

That may fit a need of theirs but we'd have to add.

 

[NJG]

He is 32 turning 33. You move him now... I dont get people who dont want to move a 36 year old OEL and 33 year old McCabe.. Its time

Yeah I don't understand it either I would trade both of them especially given the hauls and over payments that have been happening.

 

[SprDaVE]

Now this is a target.

 

[mydnyte]

if it's 2, 9, Misa, and Dickinson and Askarov and Mukhamwhatever I may consider it.

And it will take a corresponding overpayment to fill the holes made in the lineup.

Hello?

It's not happening

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Now this is a target.

Sharks reportedly offered 9+ for Byram.
I can see them offering 9+ for Nikishin

I don't know. 2OV, 9OV and Will Smith is getting pretty close to fair value for Matthews. You get a young 1C potential in Will Smith who is Right handed and only 21 plus you would draft Mckenna and could move down with 2OV to aquire more assets. 9OV you take best dman available. also get 13 million more to spend via free agency this year to build around these young players

I think he’ll be out of the league shortly/career backup if he doesn’t fix his puck tracking and glove hand - both amongst the worst in the league. Sharks need a goalie.

Hello?

And? I'd rather flip McCabe & OEL and try to get d-men who are younger.

 

[MarlieParade]

Why are Canadian teams interested in Carlo when the guy probably heads south after this year?

It should be a team who can extend him. Preferably, a team who is cap crunched just for this year but can pay him more the following year. That is the kind of team who would pay the most. Hello Dallas.

Why would San Jose do that just to make Matthews a number two centre?

Because both teams are looking for a big RHD. There’s not many available, and as much as people want to shit on Carlo he’s passable in a teams top 4 and can eat minutes + PK.

Get ready folks

oh shit that means things aren't happening
