Speculation: Trade / Roster Speculation Thread XXXII: To Smurf or not to Smurf

[Miller Time NYR]

I hope its Moulson for Kristo/McIlrath and Boyle.

Were not trading Mcilrath

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Potential player would have to be close enough to make game or why else would you clear a spot?

Technically need to clear space under the 23 man limit?

 

[stan the caddy]

I am loving this. Watching Isles fans panic is just great. Please Snow. Botch this trade and end up trading him for a 2nd and B level prospect because you blew your leverage by being the arrogant SOB that you truly are.

That would be a decent haul at this point.

 

[TheTakedown]

I think the Rangers are getting Vanek....

We made room on the roster, and he's the most coveted bait

 

[GregSirico]

I hope its Moulson for Kristo/McIlrath and Boyle.

That would be a solid move.

 

[The Gloaming]

Could it be a paper move? Makes him eligible for the HFD Postseason?

Isn't HFD really bad? I don't think they're making the playoffs.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I believe Miller has to be on Hartford's roster at deadline to be eligible for AHL playoffs. Still here, probably.

-Carp

That would make sense.

I don't know ... I have a feeling some in the organization are so so on McI.

Vanek is a 20 minute train ride... Moulson is an hour flight...

Vanek is in western Canada.

Chris Botta ‏@ChrisBottaNHL now
Trades still being called in to NHL offices. I believe a Vanek deal will be one of them.

CHI is done on a quiet day for Hawks. TOR likely finished as well. NYR chasing a depth Dman before deadline hits. Liking Diaz in VAN

OK all in Glen

That would make sense.

That makes sense. I think we've made our move for the trade deadline this year.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Isn't the Pack like....terrible this year?

 

[17futurecap]

Maybe someone like Tallinder.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Isn't HFD really bad? I don't think they're making the playoffs.

They are, but they've been winning recently (6-3-0-1 in their last 10), so why not do it on the off chance they squeak in?

 

[GregSirico]

Depth Dman ... like that!

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

So we should know in the next 15 or so min.

 

[InHenrikWeTrust]

OK all in Glen

My dream would be Byfuglien. Oh man would that be awesome.

 

[Trxjw]

-Carp

That would make sense.

Hartford? Playoffs? HA!

 

[MysticLeviathan]

And it looks like the deadline is over. I'm pretty surprised how quiet it was the past like hour and a half. Stuff went crazy around 12-1:30, but after that it was pretty quiet...

 

[Trxjw]

There's your PPQB.

NYR gets Raphael Diaz for a 5th in 2015 from Canucks.

#NYR Sounds like there may be one more deal in the works for Rangers...trades sometimes announced after deadline

 

[Miller Time NYR]

I don't know ... I have a feeling some in the organization are so so on McI.

Even if they are so so on him, thats a tough pill to swallow, and theres NO way we get fair value for a #10 pick back.

 

[nyrpassion]

We got Diaz

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Gaborik trade last year wasn't announced until 15 minutes after deadline. We'll know for sure by 3:30 whether anymore trades were made.
