GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[Sigurd]

Since there was talk shortly before the last topic was locked about EP, I wish we'd take our offer for Meier and make it for EP. I'd be willing to replace Morrow with Nikishin, and if we're trying to get EP, we should trade KK instead of having a 5 million dollar 4th line center, and to add value for Vancouver (KK has played a lot better since around the New Year). I doubt we'll offer Jarvis though.

Since there was talk about Miller again, if we're gonna talk to Vancouver, it shouldn't be about Miller. It should be about EP even if it seems unlikely at this point he's traded, or at the very least, for Boeser with retention.

Similarly, if we're gonna talk to Arizona, it shouldn't be about Schmaltz, it should be about Crouse. I said before weeks ago that if we didn't get Meier, Crouse would be a good back up plan, and I still feel that way.

If Buchnevich is available from St. Louis, he's also one of the few good back up plans that'd be worthy of some top assets.

Would only need to score 2 goals a game with Saros behind this team haha

 

[spockBokk]

uhhhhh

He also said he probably miss-heard

 

[Tryamw]

last around the league was over 3K, and it seems like all the fun is already happening, so doing this as the deadline day GDT a few days early. Will open a new "Around The League" after the deadline

Panicking time

 

[User13452]

uhhhhh

I was listening didn’t hear that unless I missed it

 

[cptjeff]

WHY.

f***. Anderson kooch and Raanta are fine. God we're gonna do something dumb.

Media gonna fill air. I don't think we're gonna do something particularly stupid.

Wut

About that.

We should talk..

 

[MadeUpName]

I think we should all expect a ton of Carolina rumors and speculation until they actually do something. Every other contender has traded their 1sts and prospects. Carolina is at the top of the league.

One of the only things left for the media to talk about is "What will Carolina do". It is one of the only storylines left.

 

[violaswallet]

How much do you like Drury?

1st + Drury + minor prospect or 3rd?

Real question is how much does the team we'd trade Drury to like him?

Florida wants to turn old into new players not into futures.

 

[Derailed75]

Its easy to do this when you have Hedman Stamkos and Point to lean on.

Also not comparable to the Canes as their core is a bit older and their window is closing. Canes window won't close for quite awhile unless some guys decide nit to stay at FA

 

[violaswallet]

JR is in Vancouver now.

It's why we're not asking for a first from you for E. Staal

 

[raynman]

About that.

We should talk..

They scored more than 2 goals per game in the playoffs

 

[Daeavorn]

WHY.

f***. Anderson kooch and Raanta are fine. God we're gonna do something dumb.

Dude Saros would be a brick wall behind our defense. And thats insurance. Both our goalies have been injured this season already.

 

[Derailed75]

That might be a stretch but for the future Saros and Kooch as our tandem. That i like!

 

[User13452]

Saros plus granlund= 10 million would fit perfect both have 3 years left

 

[cptjeff]

I could see Edmonton making a big attempt at Saros if he's available. Doubt he actually will be with term left and Trotz calling the shots, though.

 

[raynman]

That might be a stretch but for the future Saros and Kooch as our tandem. That i like!

I agree it’s a stretch. Both on acquiring and only needing to score 2 goals a game haha

 

[ndp]

That might be a stretch but for the future Saros and Kooch as our tandem. That i like!

Hell yeah, two more seasons at $5M. Not necessarily the move they need right now but if it’s an option you would think they would be seriously interested.

 

[Svechhammer]

WHY.

f***. Anderson kooch and Raanta are fine. God we're gonna do something dumb.

I mean, I love Freddie, Raanta, and Kooch....

But if there's a reasonable path to get Saros to play behind our current defense, f***ing do it. That's how you completely neutralize what NYR and NJ are doing to load up offensively. Freddie and Raanta are excellent, but Saros can play to another level.

 

[Sigurd]

uhhhhh

Whoa.

Big picture wise, he'd be worth top assets particularly after this season.

Our front office probably thinks that if we're gonna give up big assets, let's consider him since he'd "increase our odds" of winning the cup as Dundon said.

 

[DaveG]

on Daily Faceoff Live - Saravelli just said the Canes have circled back with the Flyers about Hayes after missing out on Meier, says it all depends on the amount of $$$ they'd be willing to retain. the Avs and Wild also sniffing around he says...return could be "juicy" if the right amount of salary retained

Yeah if we can get Hayes down to about 4.5 per or Duchene at 5 I'm becoming more and more OK with them. Certainly not options 1-5 this deadline, but of those options the only one that's available (and that's a maybe, cause I'm not sure Florida sells) is Reinhart.

 

[The Jerk Store]

Why would we care about a goalie? Andersen is playing well, Koochie is ready to come up if we need depth, Raanta is perfectly serviceable as a backup.

We have easily the most fragile goaltender tandem in the league. All it takes is one freak hair-combing or checkbook-balancing incident and we are calling David Ayres.

Can't say I'm fond of Hayes as a pickup, but I think he's more likely to be dealt at $4.5M or less than Duchene is at $5M.

Of the two, I think Duchene makes much more sense. The idea of putting Duchene as the offensive #2C between Teravainen and Necas is a very interesting one.
