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

[Jacquestrapless]

Also according to AI

Zach Werenski, Boone Jenner, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Sergei Bobrovsky played together as teammates on the Columbus Blue Jackets for exactly three seasons, from the 2016-17 season through the 2018-19 season

Coincidence that we could see all 4 reunite in a few hours?

200K gets you a mansion in Ontario?

In a trailer park, ya.

we desperately need a center. make it a priority Chayka !!!! Werenski and other shit can wait

 

[MarlieParade]

Sucks I wanted him

Dallas is in such a cap crunch that there were going to have to move some decent pieces at some point.

What does "being a Montreal fan" have to do with thinking JJ Moser is an excellent defenseman?

Read the room man.

Yesterday the big boogie man was Dallas and their unbeatable combination of Thomas Harley and Mavrick Bourque. Today, it's JJ "Nicklas Lidstrom" Moser and Tampa Bay.

I don't understand how we get Werenski without Knies. The only way it makes sense is if Werenski only wants Toronto

Please get this done John

If we get Werenski without sending Knies the other way that would be a miracle.
I would much rather send Cowan plus Danford.
You are not going to find a Knies again, Cowans are a lot easier to draft.

Cap needs to go out.

 

[FerrisRox]

Knies>>Moser

I was referring to the "rumour" that Knies wasn't part of the package.

 

[Buckley]

That's where the screenshot is from, from the first reports that they needed to show Matthews something for him to stay. Break a trade for us Bobby Margarita! What do you know?

I don't know anything. I was simply told that Matthews has been clear with the team, and the reporting around his situation after the season ended was incorrect.

 

[Stephen]

Dallas is in such a cap crunch that there were going to have to move some decent pieces at some point.

Vulturing from Dallas would be a smart play.

 

[HavingACow4Cowan]

If you somehow get Werenski without having to give up Knies, you'll have had one of the best offseasons in recent memory.

I'll give Chayka an A+ if that happens (he also acquired and signed Raddysh).

And I don't mind that he got Benoit and Carlo out of here. Won't give a rat's ass they could have gotten a slightly better return for Carlo if he can get Werenski without moving out Knies.

No we need Werenski more than a C , we've been looking for a guy like this since Salming

 

[kb]

Making that trade doesn't guarantee we win, like at all.. It guts our prospects, our main young winger on the NHL roster, and our future trade capital..

You do remember the draft that just went by where they got 10 more prospects, don't you? 2 out and 10 in.....is not gutting the pool.

For a Norris trophy winner.

Ah apologies

Somebody has to fish those picks out of the net...

 

[cyris]

Damn Dallas is having a rough offseason lol
Robertson won’t sign anywhere they want to trade him, Werenski refused to waive to go there and now they are about to lose one of their better young players

They cry for Knies when you are getting the MacKinnon of defenders for him and other stuff.

Brother we are on the precipitous of getting a top 3 d-man in the league I would not do ANYTHING else right now

I wonder about the plan for the C spot.

I don’t have a good vibe about Jenner.

One option is to grab a 4C type and let internals compete for the 3C. Maybe sign a Suzuki type for competition.

Or scour for a quality guy whose perception is poor like Kotkaniemi.

Get Werenski first. I think a good 2C in McDavid might be available in 2 years. Keep building around this new core.

 

[cyris]

Cap needs to go out.

It doesn’t have to go out in the same trade

AI saying Werenski is going to Tampa.
