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

[Samus44]

exept you don't need a large C to stop Kopitar, Carter, Thornton ect... most of the best defensive players in hockey are average or even below average size. Zetterberg, Datsyk just to name two.

You want your C to be able to play both ends of the ice, if anything you want smaller C (as it seems smaller players are actually better two way players). I admit size is needed. You want some size in your bottom 6, some bigger D men. That is easy enough to find though.

This. Skill can shut down anything. Modano was a really skilled two way guy, size doesn't matter as much as people on here think. We need a winger or two for down low and to keep cycles, but center just needs to keep growing up. The top 6 is entirely 23 and under atm.

Hey guys Sam Morin is 6'7. Maybe we should trade Hall and Yakupov for him. Let me ask David Staples.

Really beating that one to death hey?!?!

 

[OilerFan4Life]

lol at the Flyers fans on the main board.

They want Marincin and the 7th for Coburn

He was joking.

 

[CornKicker]

lol friday afternoon fights and tattling

Im hoping for an active weekend. draft BPA @ 7, trade for luongo, trade dubnyk for another 2nd and take 3 skill projects in the 2nd round Bowey, Theodore, Fucale, Jarry whoever, just load that prospect pool. so when this team starts contending we can bring in young guys on ELCs

If you think it's that simple then You are wrong.

Ninja mod edits lol.

He never does, but his word goes a long way.

 

[Mr Forever]

7th overall to Dallas for 10th and Golioski

37th overall and Musil to Philly for Coburn

ANA's 2nd and Pitlick for
Clutterbuck or Peverly?

Hemsky with 2.5 retained for a bottom 6 guy? Smith? Peverly?

Draft Horvat or Lazar

Much improved team depth wise, especially on D.

 

[jukon]

Call me crazy but if Barkov Lindholm and Monahan are not available I think it's very likely we trade the pick.

Dallas gave up a hefty price to get Goligoski, I doubt they move him so easily.

 

[Mr Forever]

True. But there is a new GM in charge and it looks like they're going on a semi blow up.

 

[Seachd]

Maybe, but for some reason I don't see them all being gone.

I think someone like Nichushkin or Nurse or Ristolainen is going to jump up and push one of the centers down. Whether it's a guy the scouts/MacTavish like or not, who knows?

While this is very realistic, i just don't see it happening for some reason.

Probably one of the most realistic posts with more than one trade in it though.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

I don't disagree but look at their depth.

Goligoski
Gonchar
Daley
Robidas
Rome
Oleksiak
Dillon
Larsen
Benn
Cannaughton
Morrow


The last 2 will likely start the year in the AHL although Cannaughton is more than NHL ready to be a solid 3rd pairing puck moving d-man.

Something has to give on that backend especially with an obvious need for not 1 but 2 top 6 C's.

 

[misfit]

Get rid of Smyth and replace him and Jones with some toughness and that's not that bad. Also what assets are you using to land Umberger, Bolland, and to a lesser degree Peverley? If the reported price on Bolland is correct then we should steer clear of him.

I'm not really sure. I didn't really go as far as to make proposals for the players in question, but I guess it would be something like...

Bolland - Lander and either our 2014 1st or both 2013 2nds (is that close enough to a Pominville-like return?)

Umberger - Something around Hemsky maybe with salary retained from both sides.

Peverley - draft pick/prospect, I would imagine.

 

[McDoused]

I would move back to Dallas or Philly if they added Goli or Coburn.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I agree... not many really big names acquired or shipped out... but it improves depth and assesses weaknesses in the roster. I think that's the type of deals we'll be seeing from MacT.


Of course he might surprise us all with Letang, Vinny, Brad Richards and Bryzgalov and send the boards here into overload mode.

 

[Draiskull]

lol at the Flyers fans on the main board.

more like lol at ONE Flyer fan..

there are a few crazy Oilers fans too... no need to lump em all together.
most PHI fans are good.

 

[Draiskull]

True. But there is a new GM in charge and it looks like they're going on a semi blow up.

To move up 3 spots? Unless Barkov falls to 7 DAL would be stupid to make this move.

I am done with proposals and speculations... MacT make some deals already.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 1m
NYR will not be using their remaining compliance buyout this summer so Brad Richards will remain a Blueshirt.

I guess that AV likes him.

 

[joestevens29]

I guess that AV like him.

Have to give him a chance to redeem himself IMO.

 

[KMart27]

Has MacT ever commented on what he thinks of Paajarvi?

 

[dustrock]

Have to give him a chance to redeem himself IMO.

You can always buy Richards out next summer, right? Try him for one more season.

Kinda surprised Tampa didn't do that with Vinnie.
