Speculation: Trade Deadline 2017 Early Predictions

[Roof Daddy]

teams like the blues add rentals like shattenkirk. no playoff bound team fighting for a cup ever trades a core ufa guy for picks/prospects... ever never and wont happen in future either

Which is more or less what I said.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Stafford to Dallas for 2nd 2017
Iginla for Versteeg and Kanzig

 

[Magic Mittens]

If Dallas doesn't get healthy soon and fall behind in the Central, they'd have a few players. I'm sure they'll be in the playoffs, but the chance they didn't

Sharp, Oduya, Hudler, and Hemsky

 

[Skobel24]

Stafford to Dallas for 2nd 2017
Iginla for Versteeg and Kanzig

Doesn't seem like a deal that benefits either team.

If Calgary is getting Iggy, it's because they're going for a run. If Colorado acquires Versteeg, it's likely because they're going for a run and want the depth. Kanzig seems like a useless throw in.

 

[wintersej]

STL won't be dealing Shattenkirk. He will walk for nothing.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

The Bruins will trade for a JAG depth defenseman like they always do

 

[Djp]

STL won't be dealing Shattenkirk. He will walk for nothing.

The would trade him in a hockey trade of nhl players for nhl players ---not trading him for picks and prospects unless they were outside looking in at the deadline.

There will be about 10 teams outside of the playoffs who will be the sellers.

 

[Captain Controversy]

If the Oilers are in the playoff race this year, I hope they trade a 1st round pick for Shattenpants. Cup would be possible.

 

[Wood Stick]

Lee Stempniak
Martin Hanzal
Kris Versteeg
Drew Stafford
Kyle Quincey
Jason Chimera

All players should have value at the deadline; Hanzal prior. I think Hanzal is in a new uniform next season.

 

[odishabs]

Habs acquire a top 6 defenseman and a top 9 forward


Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher

Lehkonen - Plekanec - Radulov

XXXXX - Desharnais - Shaw

Danault - Mitchell - Byron


Beaulieu - Weber

Markov - Petry

Emelin - XXXX

STL won't be dealing Shattenkirk. He will walk for nothing.

I pretty much agree with you, I think Army holds unto Shattenkirk for a cup run. And then lets him walk after the season is over. Though if he could get some nice pieces for him he probably at least should look into it.

 

[scan15*]

I predict a lot of movement since teams will finalize their expansion protection list and will want to move some unprotected assets for draft picks and prospects.

For once, the trade deadline will be a buyer's market.

 

[glenbuis]

Hanzal to the habs for desharnais, a pick and a prospect is a no brainer . Frees up some cap space and makes us tougher to play against. Helps our dreadful face off percentages. At 29 he can replace plekanec when his deal expires when we resign him in the off season. I'm not saying he's the last piece of puzzle but frees up cash and makes us better. Shouldn't be waiting till deadline because someone else will grab him.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Nash and Klein from the Rangers will be traded at or before the deadline is my prediction

 

[Sheppy]

The Bruins will trade for a JAG depth defenseman like they always do

Pretty much this.

Defense will be the trouble all season long clearly needing an upgrade and the Bruins will trade for a Grossman type d-man that will barely crack their roster because, you know... "depth"

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Poile trades a 1st for someone who isn't worth it at all.

Holland will probably do the same thing.

1st for Quincey to bring in a tough defender..right after we let him sign with another team.

 

[nmbr_24]

I pretty much agree with you, I think Army holds unto Shattenkirk for a cup run. And then lets him walk after the season is over. Though if he could get some nice pieces for him he probably at least should look into it.

Should he though? I mean do they have a better chance at a cup with him or without him? I could see if it was in a deal for a player that would help them but how many playoff teams are going to trade a player with that kind of value before the playoffs? I guess it could happen but we know that non-playoff teams aren't going to be trading for an UFA to be and giving up much of anything.

So with everything considered I don't think they should consider anything other than a hockey trade and there probably won't be one of those at the deadline. Maybe right now that could happen though.

 

[Accelleratii]

Streit @ 50% for a 2nd and low-end prospect/AHL cusp player to either...

Boston, Montreal, Colorado, Edmonton, depending on their playoff aspirations at the time, obviously.

 

[Moose Head]

Streit @ 50% for a 2nd and low-end prospect/AHL cusp player to either...

Boston, Montreal, Colorado, Edmonton, depending on their playoff aspirations at the time, obviously.

Don't the Flyers also have playoff aspirations?

 

[entropism]

IF the Isles are out, I can see them trying to move the following:

Greiss, Bailey, Kulemin, or Halak.

Not saying they're going to find takers. Just that they'll be shopping them.

 

[Lunatik]

Lee Stempniak
Martin Hanzal
Kris Versteeg
Drew Stafford
Kyle Quincey
Jason Chimera

All players should have value at the deadline; Hanzal prior. I think Hanzal is in a new uniform next season.

Stempniak signed a multi-year deal didn't he? He's likely safe this deadline.

 

[Djp]

I predict a lot of movement since teams will finalize their expansion protection list and will want to move some unprotected assets for draft picks and prospects.

For once, the trade deadline will be a buyer's market.

For a buyers market you would need a lot of sellers such that you have only 9 teams in the playoffs chase in each conference.

The feeling is this season you will see parity which means likely only a few teams are sellers while others are fighting for the wild card spot.

 

[wintersej]

The would trade him in a hockey trade of nhl players for nhl players ---not trading him for picks and prospects unless they were outside looking in at the deadline.

There will be about 10 teams outside of the playoffs who will be the sellers.

They should have taken the Eriksson + Spooner deal last deadline, to be honest.

 

[tony d]

Bishop probably goes to a playoff bound team that needs a goalie. Probably Dallas.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Stempniak signed a multi-year deal didn't he? He's likely safe this deadline.

Two year deal. He's been great so far and it's not like we have a glut of goal scoring forwards to replace him.
