Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread XXV: Season over. Still waiting to begin...

[Hockey Nightmare]

Hasn't Letang had injury issues?

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

Yakupov to Pittsburg for Letang e4.

haha...don't you mean klefbom, #7, and Paajarvi........

Hearing that Letang camp informed Penguins earlier tonight that they were turning down an 8-year contract offer worth around $56 million. Whether more contract talks are coming or whether Pens put Letang on trade market remains to be seen...

Turned down 8 years at "around" 7M/year.

Yikes, that's hardball.

Ouch.
Stay away MacT. Stay far far away.
Love the player but those are some ridiculous demands. Schultz could be our version of Letang anyway.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

Hasn't Letang had injury issues?

Ya, seems to me he has had a few concussions. Probably trying to cash in before his brain gets scrambled.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
Also told that Letang camp counter-offered with a long-term deal which would pay less than $8 M (north of $7.5 M); Pens said too high

Should Edmonton consider trading 7th overall for Perron, or definitely not?

 

[OilerTyler]

I wouldn't go near Letang if that's the kind of money he wants

 

[CupofOil]

Definitely not.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Didn't Letang kinda choke against the Bruins?

 

[Joey Moss]

Should Edmonton consider trading 7th overall for Perron, or definitely not?

They shouldn't consider trading for him at all, let alone 7th.

I think Perron is pretty much a left wing version of Gagner, not a fit IMO.

 

[MetaOil1993]

Yup not what we need IMO. We need a big LW but that's easier said than done unless we draft Nichushkin. Not to mention Perron's concussion history.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

What is better value...Gagner at 5mil or Letang at 7 mil....?

 

[Chooch]

If true, come on Craig, you oughta know that Letang won't even be remotely close to the player he was in Pittsburgh if he comes here.

 

[Tarus]

What is better value...Gagner at 5mil or Letang at 7 mil....?

By the sounds of it, Letang is putting his value closer to 8 million, not 7.

 

[Seachd]

What is better value...Gagner at 5mil or Letang at 7 mil....?

Probably Letang but the salary with him is only half the issue.

Why we shouldn't go for Letang:

Made a much better player by Crosby.

 

[tv14]

My dream scenario:

-Sign Lecavalier.
-Trade Gagner for a dman. (Don't really want to trade him, but Vinny opens up this option).
-Draft one of the centers this year and let him develop and take over for Vinny in a few years.

This improves our centers and defence.

 

[Louis Cypher]

I say no to Letang.

What about a scenario where we get Brad Richards from NYR for Horcoff. NYR would have to pay some salary. Or maybe they buy him out and we go after him.

ilya bryzgalov I don't mind as an option if he's reasonably priced. He will be looking to prove Phily wrong.

 

[Draiskull]

My dream scenerio.. Make a effin deal so we can talk about it ..

No chance I want Letang either. He is a 5 mill D man who plays with Malkin and Crosby.

My dream is we trade Horc for Richards, then we sign Bryz and some one like Ference.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

What is better value...Gagner at 5mil or Letang at 7 mil....?

Letang IMO but I'd sooner spend that kind of coin on a LH PMD if I had to pay an offensive D that kind of money.

 

[Louis Cypher]

What is better value...Gagner at 5mil or Letang at 7 mil....?

Hopefully Gagner just under 5. Letang is over-rated and we can't afford him at 7.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Would MacT be better of trading the 7th overall, or making the selection and maybe the player ends up being more valuable in a year or so?
