Speculation: trade deadline speculation begins now

[CanMerc]

Are you speculating about my speculation?!?

I can neither confirm nor deny any speculation related to the speculating of speculation speculated prior to the speculation previously speculated about

 

[Forsbergaura21]

I’m a bit surprised no real trades took place during this 4 nations break. To me it would be the perfect time to add some new players and have them get acclimated to the new team while there are no nhl games…

I've been "glomar"d. Hot damn.

Totally forgot about him. With Korchinski and Artom on the comeup, does that make Vlasic expendable? What do the Hawks need?

Nope

Vlasic was just signed long-term and is considered a guy alongside Bedard the team is building around

 

[The don godfather]

If Morgan geekie is available it will be pricey.

You started a thread on the main board over scouts visiting Detroit's farm team...

Being the first to reply in his own thread after 20 minutes of no responses…

But the insiders told us that there would be trade action during the 4 Nations?

Shows how much attention I pay to insiders, I assumed there was a trade freeze during the break

Plenty of guys that are part of the long term plan that recently signed deals get moved. Doesn’t really mean much.

I believe one of the "insiders" said teams were using the break as away to accure cap space.

na, the hawks look for Vlasic to be a part of the core, hence his extension 6 yrs 27 million. Kids a stud, he is staying for the early part of the hawks rebuild for sure.

my guess is that Binnington gets traded to a contender after his 4 nations cup showing, Hofer needs to play more. Would not suprise me to see Stan Bowman and Doug Armstrong make a deal.

As a Hawks fan, no on any Vlasic trade.

 

[Fatass]

Boeser to Florida.

 

[vokiel]

No speculation speculated before this speculation will be allowed

Thought the same, actually Speculation never starts, speculatively..

But it definitely always ENDS.

There’s no need for hyperbole. You’d trade him for McDavid straight up. Now that we can cut the crap with “no on any trade” a discussion can be had as to how much overpayment it would take to move him.

Yes theoretically every player has a price.

Now ask yourself, why would a middle of the pack Red Wings team decimate their prospect pool? That’s what it would take for the Hawks to trade a 23 year old, shutdown, first pairing LHD.

When you look at the current Blackhawks roster there are two players you can comfortably say will be significant long term impact players for them and Vlasic is one of the two. So since you won’t accept it when people say he won’t be traded I will suggest the price tag for the Wings would be Danielson, Cossa or Augustine and an unprotected 1st round pick.

Now you can tell me that is crazy and we can move on.
