Speculation: Trade Rumor/Speculation Thread XX: Let's make it to XXX!

[Thirty One]

Ah crap, it sounds a lot like MSL.

Why does it sound like MSL, and why would that be oh crap?

 

[aufheben]

I don't really care if MSL is too old, this guy is the reigning Art Ross trophy winner. It would be stupid to turn him down for a rental 3rd line grinder.

Can you imagine St. Louis and Zuccarello playing catch on the PP? Wow..

 

[Kocur Dill]

That would be swell. Or even Gallagher as Nils pointed out earlier.

I doubt it's Montreal though. A couple of Pens fans made some interesting points about Callahan being coveted in Pittsburgh to play with Crosby. Someone who can get into the dirty areas. Consider who coached the US team. Could be interesting.

Not out of the realm of possibilities.

But for who?

Kunitz? (meh)
Neal? Doubt it.

 

[Kakko]

Who's Boston going to send back, and why do they need Callahan?

Philly makes complete sense, other than the fact that they're Philly.

I don't understand?

Nobody understands Philly. They do the most random **** ever. Makes perfect sense.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Any new tweets?

That's not what I mean. How often do teams ship their captain off to one of their most hated rivals? Other than that it makes perfect sense, and as Boomer said it would be a shocker, I won't count Philly out. But that would be very bizarre.

 

[SA16]

One for one + from the East + for Callahan?
The most likely IMHO:

Boston: Marchand
Sens: Spezza (or does Sather finally get Chris Neil?)

Neil isn't good enough and anyway didn't he reject a trade to us once before?

Hartnell
Simmonds
Neil (not enough value to NYR, though)
Semin (too much $)

NYR don't hate Spezza.

 

[Kakko]

He's done for the night.

Not really anything else he can say, except for the actual deal, which he won't.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

But who would the Pens send back? Kunitz? Idk

Kunitz? (meh)
Neal? Doubt it.

Good questions. I wouldn't think Kunitz as he plays really well with Crosby. Boomer said upgrade on the 1st line which pretty much rules out any prospects.

I guess it would be odd from our end.

But it'd be business as usual for Philly.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

All I know is that if we do another deal with Columbus, we gotta swap Sather for JD.

Kunitz fits a lot of his descriptions.

How, why does Boomer have this info and Brooks is quiet?

 

[Nightshift]

Upgrade to the first line would have to mean a Center.

 

[SA16]

Kunitz fits a lot of his descriptions.

He also said not Pittsburgh

 

[Killem Dafoe]

From what I understand, he knows a guy (not in the business) who heard it from pretty much one of the GMs.

 

[aufheben]

Oh.

Goddamnit Boomer just ****ing say who it is goddamnit

 

[haohmaru]

Kunitz fits a lot of his descriptions.

Can't see why the Pens would do that, though. These deals have to make sense for the other team, too. Kunitz is top 10 in scoring in the league on a team that's had injury problems all year. Can't see that being the case here. Flyers are known to deal commodities just to shake up the locker room. Maybe it's Hartnell. Gotta wonder about how many Captains they need in Philly, though.

 

[Chief]

Neil isn't good enough and anyway didn't he reject a trade to us once before?

No, neil took less money to re-sign with Ottawa when Sather tried to sign him. You say not enough value - and I'm not saying I want him for Callahan - but Cally is a rental and neil's signed for 2 more years i think.

* I didn't realize Boomer said the deal would upgrade our top line.

If it's Philly, B. Schen.

 

[hpNYR]

Kunitz is over 30

Yea but Neil has 23 points the last 101 games. Not enough value.

 

[tbonenc*]

I could see Skinner...

Yeah, if we include Kreider.

 

[NYRFAN218]

From what I understand, he knows a guy (not in the business) who heard it from pretty much one of the GMs.

The way I took it was he heard it from a source who isn't in the business of breaking news or sharing rumors. He rated his source as a 9 on a scale of 1-10 on how high up/trustworthy they are. Since he's broken news on the Rangers in the past with moves they've made, I'm gonna take it as it's someone that's really high up in the Rangers organization.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Did he say not in the business of breaking rumors or in the hockey business? Either way, yeah 1 being a no body and 10 being "Glen Sather himself", he said 9.

That's pretty solid info.
