Speculation: Trade Deadline: March 8, 2024

[Sinurgy]

The greater question is this: is Jakob Chychrun ever going to be content anywhere?

I mean, this is two teams and two straight trade requests... context of suckage aside, this is not a trend that's going to be looked upon favorably by many GMs.

He’s the Pierre Luc Dubois of defensemen.

I got that he's unlikely to sign there long term not so much that he's requesting a trade. The former will likely result in a trade for asset management reasons but it's not Chychrun demanding one.

 

[moosemeister]

I thought it should've been given to Thomas Chabot over Tkachuk.


Maccelli?

I would drive Maccelli to the airport myself if it meant getting Tkachuk. haha.

I'd rather have Crouse than Maccelli, and I'd much rather have Tkachuk than both.

 

[Sinurgy]

I’d offer our first in a package for tkachuck.

I wouldn't because the Coyotes are the type of team that would somehow not negotiate lottery protection. While other teams are getting away with top 10 trade protection, the Coyotes probably wouldn't get any which of course would result in them winning the lottery for the first time ever!

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Maybe I'm a fool, but I wouldn't trade this year's first. Next year's? Definitely!

If Tkachuk were a C I would trade this year's.

 

[moosemeister]

I hope we see the following players traded by next Friday:

Valimaki
Dumba (retain 50)
Zucker (retain 50)
Dermott
Brown
Carcone (maybe try to sneak him through waivers but I don't think he makes it)

Bring in some short term quality AHL players and contract/cap casualties.

 

[Mosby]

I'd be shocked if Dermott or Brown had any value.

I think Bjugstad goes.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Maybe I'm a fool, but I wouldn't trade this year's first. Next year's? Definitely!

If Tkachuk were a C I would trade this year's.

I'd trade this year's 1st unprotected to reduce the amount of real assets that would have to accompany it. Maybe it's because I don't know as much about this year's draft class as other years, but I don't think Celebrini is a generational talent, and besides he's an NCAA player who could decide to rabbit on us later down the road.

Brady Tkachuk is a proven commodity and that's worth a primo pick, especially given that we have plenty of other draft capital to spend to get back in the first round if there's someone we can't live without.

But I don't think any of this is likely to happen.

[Lebrun] On Ryan Whitney’s tweet last week regarding the Senators “maybe” being willing to move Brady Tkachuk:

[Staios] Ah yeah, that could not be further from the truth (chuckle).

I don’t follow on social media. I do get, our communications people alert me to things like that. There’s obviously no truth to that. Like, we’re building the team around Brady Tkachuk and the type of person, the type of player and the type of leader that he is. He means everything to the organization. And he brings it every night along with our core group of players. It’s a matter of time and a matter of nurturing this group.

Staios' first trade deadline could involve moving Tarasenko and Chychrun, but he says Tkachuk rumors "could not be further from the truth."

I think Bjugstad goes.

Bjugstad got a 3rd last year as a rental. He’s got another year at a cheap rate and he’s producing even better than he did last season. I honestly think he might be able to pull a 2nd.

I hope we see the following players traded by next Friday:

Valimaki
Dumba (retain 50)
Zucker (retain 50)
Dermott
Brown
Carcone (maybe try to sneak him through waivers but I don't think he makes it)

The only player that I REALLY want traded is Schmaltz. I dont think any of the guys on your list have much value. Maybe Dumba if we retain the max gets us something decent.

Bjugstad would be a smart get for a playoff team. I would be very disappointed to see him go. He has become one of my favorite players.

Marek was interviewing a former GM, Brian Lawton, and they were playing up the concept of teams looking to get heavy at the tdl for playoffs. Big maybe but maybe Brown & Dumba have more value than what might otherwise be thought.

Spittin Chiclets was talking all about how the AB’s can’t afford the luxury of keeping Ullmark when the goalie market is hit and Swayman is RFA and they have major needs up-front.

Colorado needs a goalie and they need to dump RyJo. Boston will need a decent backup when Ullmark is gone and we have Veggie. I feel like there is a good way for us to help knock loose some big trades and get paid premium facilitation fees.

I trust bill armstrong to negotiate that. He’s doesn’t strike me as a push over in any stretch of the imagination.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Ryjo sucks. I’m tired of bringing in sucky ass players to help the good teams stay good while we just keep bringing in sucky ass players. I’m so so tired of it

 

[Heldig]

I think Schmaltz could pull a late 1st

He is better than Monahan so he should get at least a 1st.

 

[Foggy1097]

He is better than Monahan so he should get at least a 1st.

That’s debatable…Monahan is a center and is good at faceoffs. I would say his value is probably higher.

 

[lanky]

Hard to compare an expiring contract to one with term.

So what idiot journalist that started this rumor needed clicks to pay the bills?

Don't know I would call him a journalist but that would be Ryan Whitney of Spittin Chiclets.

If I was planning to be in playoffs I would take Monahan over Schmaltz anyday. He plays a more important position, is bigger, and has actually showed he can produce when going gets tough. Injury history is a concern though??

Monahan may be more valuable a player, that is true. But he rid return a 1st +

Schmaltz is a better skater and scores more (I think?)

Over career they are roughly the same points per game. I take the bigger center everyday when you consider he can play at important times. I'm not sure Schmaltz will ever do heavy lifting.

The point is to buy him out. He never even has to fly out. He can just stay home. It has NOTHING to do with him on the ice. Ideally he’d never touch the ice.

He is better than Monahan so he should get at least a 1st.

I don’t agree that he’s better than Monahan. Schmaltz is painfully, maddeningly soft. And he’s awful in his own zone. Purely a perimeter player.

Coyote fans love their players.

 

[moosemeister]

Tanev just got a second and a prospect.

So we have to pay someone to take Dumba. Haha
