Speculation: Trade Deadline 2017 Early Predictions

[SLAPSHOT723]

I'd love for the Islanders to get Drew Stafford for a 2nd or 3rd.

 

[Oberyn]

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

Pretty sure Spooner wasn't included in that deal.

 

[mrinsane]

Iginla@50% to the Habs for a 3rd and Reway

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Habs main need for the playoffs is a third line C (or a 2nd line C to bump Plekanec to the third line), other than potentially Hanzal, any other centres possibly available?

Pretty sure it was Eriksson+Koko+1st or close to that as Dom said. Eriksson didn't agree to an extension, and the deal fell through. If Eriksson walked, Koko went to Russia, and we were left with just a 1st, that would've been a horrible move.

Eh maybe not. You would have gotten a good prospect and cap space for a center possibly. Khokhlachev may not have left for Russia either if St. Louis had a roster spot. But of course, we'll never know.

No way Boston offered Eriksson and Spooner. St. Louis probably would have taken that.

If the wings end up in a bad position mid season, Vanek could be traded for a pick

I wouldn't call Koko a good prospect anymore.

 

[57special]

Wild MIGHT have a good Dman or two on the block, depending on how they are doing in the standing at the TDL

I say might, because they might decide to go the 8 man draft route and protect 5 Dmen.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I wouldn't call Koko a good prospect anymore.

When I said good prospect I meant with the first, not with Koko.

 

[wonton15]

Burrows with maximum retention for a pick

 

[stpn47]

Iginla@50% to the Habs for a 3rd and Reway

Where do the Avs sign?

 

[sayheykid]

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

I think it's exceedingly unlikely that Bishop is moved, unless some team absolutely blows Yzerman away with an offer. I just don't see a scenario where the return for a rental goalie (albeit an excellent one) outweighs his value to a top three or four cup contender.

 

[DarthProbert]

My bold prediction: Hawks are brutally out of a playoff spot so they trade Panarin(upcoming RFA) to the Jets for some combination of young forwards and Crawford to Dallas for Niemi and picks/prospects.

So the hawks are not going to make one, but two trades within the hyper competitive Central?

 

[Accelleratii]

Don't the Flyers also have playoff aspirations?

Yes but I don't think the Flyers brass believe this is their year and I don't think Hextall lets assets walk for free.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I could see the Flames grabbing one of Gunnarsson or Bortuzzo.

 

[themelkman]

Anyone got interest in Marleau?

 

[Sens Vader]

Anyone got interest in Marleau?

The Sens have a hole in the top 6, would would Marleau realistically cost?

 

[Juicy Pop]

Don't the Flyers also have playoff aspirations?

The assets are probably worth more to the organization than the marginal chance that Streit helps us push further into the playoffs if we happen to qualify.

He would simply be decent depth on defense for a contender; he's not good enough anymore to tip the scales for a bubble team.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

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.

Will definitely not be Colorado.

Streit would have no place in our lineup, especially at that kind of price.

 

[Bleeker]

Hanzal to Montreal for Desharnais + 2nd

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The Sens have a whole in the top 6, would would Marleau realistically cost?

He's got the NMC. Don't see him waiving. I think he retires in San Jose

 

[Old Guy]

^^^ Agreed.

Lamiorello finds someone to take Polak for a second
