Trade Deadline 2015 Part II

[seabass45]

Sharp presumably available.

If only we didn't trade Vanek.

Wait, what?

 

[seafoam]

Wait, what?

The Blackhawks beat reporter said Sharp could be available.

The Blackhawks beat reporter said Sharp could be available.

Looking at it now, Hawks fans say he hasn't been good this year and needs a change of scenery. Yikes.

 

[CupHolders]

The Blackhawks beat reporter said Sharp could be available.

I believe the confusion is on "trading Vanek." At least is is for me. How does trading Vanek on the deadline before he is set to leave as an UFA impact today? I can only assume, you meant "shouldn't have used the assets to acquire Vanek... therefore they are here today for Sharp."

Seems to be a bunch of reports that Sharp is not well liked on the Hawks... Don't know what the truth is on that. Maybe his track suit was thrown in a shower.

 

[seafoam]

I meant trading for Vanek, as in the beginning where we gave up our first rounder for someone with no term, something Snow always talked about avoiding.

Phil Kessel's trade value is destroyed!

"Doesn't care" if he gets traded.

I don't think that destroys his trade value at all, and frankly I don't blame him. The Toronto media has destroyed his reputation, I can't imagine many players are happy playing there. He is a great player, but the media up there expects him to be a top 5 player, and he just simply isn't that.

The Maple Leafs almost have to trade him now. The bidding doesn't have to be so high.

 

[Dutch Frost]

I would love to have Kessel on the team if the price is right.. Maybe we can give up Colberg and a 3rd rounder.

Oh yeah! I forgot we had Collberg.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

We need a backup goaltender because Johnson is not that.

For the playoffs a big physical dman is more pressing. Backup will be riding the pine but having 2 of Strait, Hickey and Viz could get ugly.

Both, and I agree.

Khudobin.

Looks like the isles are not making any moves which tells me Garth is not serious about a cup this year.

Why should he be? Team needs to loose a couple rounds in the playoffs and make it consistently first.

We don't really have assets to give up and there's no one available that will put us over the top. I can see him making a couple of depth moves, but don't expect us getting anyone great.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Khudobin.

Is he available? I was feeling better about CJ . But it seems we need to upgrade . Our 3rd pairing in concert with CJ= early exit.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

TRADE ALERT:



He's not Kane but he'll help.

This x100

The isles and set up for the next few years to make some runs in the playoffs everyone needs to relax if we don't land someone who's not even all that great.

Update:

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Good trade for Arizona, Chicago's going into desperation mode to win it this year. IMO Vermette's not the right fit for them.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Buyers are desperate word was Boston was hot Vermette as well wonder where they go now.

 

[DerekKingSnipes]

I would love to have Kessel on the team if the price is right.. Maybe we can give up Colberg and a 3rd rounder.

It would take alot more than that to get him and i do believe if they did trade him someone will get a very happy player to be out of Toronto. The positives to him are obvious, he is elite scorer and would give us nice PP balance with him on one side and JT on the other. The negative is what would it do to room.

Rumor is Atkinson.
