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

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Some prospect as in Colborne or.... Gardiner?

Blacker or Biggs, you know, the "big time" guys.

 

[ekcut]

I know we've been talking about possible trades, if you want some laughs, Leafs fans figure that Phaneuf, #21 and some prospect would net PRV and #7

That isnt the worst trade ever. I wouldnt do it, but it's not laughable.

PRV and the 7th Overall pick for Dion Phaneuf, the 21st overall pick and Biggs/Blacker? That's laughable.

Can confirm Letang's agent Kent Hughes countered the Penguins 8 year, $54 million offer, asking for 8 years, $62.5 million/ full NTC

Given Shero's history, Letang is gone.
Anaheim is interested from twitter last night and they have the pieces to put together a package....Gibson, Fowler, Etem, Smith-Pelley, Rakell, etc.

Anaheim could be the darkhorse to steal MacT's thunder this summer. What would it take for Letang?

Etem, Rakell and Gibson?
the you move Ryan for youth from Ottawa (Zibinajad?Turris? and a dman) or NYR or PHI ...watch out for the Ducks!

I don't think that is laughable either.

Phaneuf is terribly overrated and I don't want him on the Oil, but the value of that proposal isn't terribly far off. I wouldn't do it, but saying this is laughable is like Leaf fans saying our valuation of Gardiner is laughable.

I would think Fowler would have to be in there to

You probably find napolean dynamite funny too... You cant account for some peoples taste in humor!

Dion, despite being a DB, is a top pairing dman....we currently dont have a top pairing dman.
They dont come cheap.

If it wad a trade and sign, I'd seriously consider it.

I can only hope someone steals that thunder. Letang would be a nice addition but the contract sounds brutal to me. Huge price to get the guy and a massive contract. Count me out of the letang derby.

I wonder how untouchable Evander Kane is. he is exactly what we need here. gagner +

Whats more laughable is the 7th, Klefbom and Paajarvi for Phaneuf

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

One poster suggested that anything short of Eberle and Klefbom and they pass. That Kool-aid must be really good.

 

[nhlisajoke]

the only trade i make for Phaneuf is Horcoff straight up

 

[Psychoil]

hey guys, what do u think and Devante -Smith-Pelly.......does anyone else think he can be had for cheap? I saw him at the red white game for canada two years ago and he was just exploding guys

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Accordint to Dreger, Peverley is a available, seems like a guy that would fit nicely into the bottom-6 and provide more center depth, what do you think it takes to acquire him?

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 59s
Bruins are making progress in trying to re-sign Bergeron, Horton and Rask. Sounds like Peverley is available for trade. #TSN

 

[Draiskull]

hey guys, what do u think and Devante -Smith-Pelly.......does anyone else think he can be had for cheap? I saw him at the red white game for canada two years ago and he was just exploding guys

I would certainly inquire about him if I was the GM... I think he goes in part of a package for a big fish.

Edit: re Peverly being available... hardly a new news.. Dreger is pretty much stating the obvious.

 

[ekcut]

Oh ya... That's bad!

 

[MetaOil1993]

Some fans make the whole fan base look bad. I know there's quite a few good posters from them but it seems like most of them are just little kids and it turns into a bashing show. I wish we can just ban Leafs/Oilers proposals on the main board. That stuff is just embarrassing to read.

Honestly it would take a 3rd IMO. They need to shed salary so his value shouldn't be high especially coming off an awful season.

Too bad Tambo gave away our 3rd for Fistric without getting one back for Whitney/Hemsky at the deadline

Not sure but would love to have him.

 

[dustrock]

Yeah doubtful Boston will be bringing back Peverly or Ference.

I'd be interested in both of them, although frankly Peverly didn't have the best year for Boston and there might be better options.

 

[McDoused]

Oh ya... That's bad!

Almost as bad as Gardiner and the 21st for RNH.

I think this is the thinking we need to get away from. The only way we're going to win a trade is by taking a chance. If we only go for guys that performed well lately and don't have any issues, we're going to by above market value. If we get underperforming guys that we are confident in we can watch them turn it around and laugh in the other team's faces. It will be wonderful.

I did think that Peverley showed some jump in the playoffs and could be an extremely useful player here. I wouldn't want to pay too much, but I think he would help out our bottom 6 immensely.

It seems like 3rd lines around the league really just need one motivated, energetic player on them to get them going. If you get one player that has enough motivation and jump, it will usually get the other two to play harder and faster, and cause fits for the other teams. Glencross is a good example of this. Brodziak and Stortini were doing sweet FA until he showed up, and then all of a sudden they're a dynamite 3rd line. I think Peverley could be that guy.

In a dream world.. Our bottom 6 this year.

I guess as it looks Smyth and Brown will be in the bottom 6. Just not in my dream world. Hahah

 

[MetaOil1993]

Also RNH has shoulder problems while Gardiner is durable as a rock.

I wonder if Peverley would waive his NTC to come here though?

Peverley isn't a fourth line center, neither is Bolland. Perhaps Peverley could play the 2c role if Gagner shifts to the wing.

Peverley playing 2nd line would be a mistake. Ideally he is your #3.

Fair comment - I did say I was interested, but I'd like to see who else is available.
