Rumor: Trade Rumour Thread I: Post-Lockout Madness

[NYR Viper]

Yeah, been clamoring for this here for about a week. Nice pickup. Jason Wilson was not gonna be that guy

Yep, underrated move as Grant was not even a top-6 player in the AHL at 26. Mashinter actually has some skills. Deveaux 2.0 which is a good thing because Deveaux was valuable last year.

 

[BBKers]

Today is the last day we will (ever???) have a #1 overall (Nash), #2 overall (Redden) and #3 overall (Gaborik) in our organization. Bye Bye Wade !!!

 

[jniklast]

Nice list BBKers, but you forgot greats like Ilya Gorokhov and Zdenek Bahensky!

In order to get under 23-man limit tomorrow, teams are going to have to waive players today, so we'll know many cuts around noon.

This is why Sather only iced a 22 man team at training camp
Now there will be a pickup (or signing)
Wicked Jedi tricks
SMART!

We only had to pay over $20M each per season to get them!

 

[DutchShamrock]

Connolly waived today. Thoughts?

 

[NYR Viper]

Brian Strait waived by the Pens. I say take a stab.

 

[Made Dan]

Brian Strait waived by the Pens. I say take a stab.

I know nothing about him but Pen fans seem to be nervous about losing him.

 

[Vitto79]

Connolly waived today. Thoughts?

I doubt he's a Torts guy but some team in the NHL will have to give him a shot no? UFA next yr I think

 

[Trxjw]

Strait should get claimed. Solid #6 who still has some room to grow. Stay at home guy who keeps things simple. I think the Rangers could be looking to nab him.

Honestly, I thought he outplayed Depres by a mile last night in the Pens scrimmage.

Why do you doubt he's a Torts guy? He led Toronto forwards in blocked shots last season.

 

[Trxjw]

Adam Pardy on waivers. Played well for the Sabres after ending up there at the trade deadline. Guess they're more afraid of losing some of the other guys.

[Clowes Line]

How did Matt Taormina end up on Tampa?

 

[Thirty One]

How did Matt Taormina end up on Tampa?

He was a Group VI UFA.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Connolly waived today. Thoughts?

 

[Samuel Culper III]

I would pick up Chris Porter from Buffalo.

Good faceoff guy. Could play fourth/third line and is the perfect injury space. Cheap guy, doesn't need to play every night, plays with grit and a good defensive game and has put up decent points in limited roles throughout his career.

 

[iamitter]

Brian Strait waived by the Pens. I say take a stab.

Dam. Was hoping Lovejoy would be the one to hit waivers. Still would like Strait.

 

[Thirty One]

Connolly waived today. Thoughts?

Would take him if Toronto eats half his salary.

 

[BBKers]

Remaining UFAs

I gather these are the remaining pieces that are still unsigned. Some are on tryouts.
Not a whole lot to choose from, and some of these guys will almost certainly never hit NHL ice again...

[LiveLongandProspal]

You guys think we claim anyone on waivers?

 

[jniklast]

You guys think we claim anyone on waivers?

I don't think so, although I think there are a few guys who could be upgrades over Bickel, Gilroy or as a forward spare (is there even one?).

 

[I Eat Crow]

I would absolutely take a flyer on either Connolly, Taoromina, or Joslin

Daniel Winnik is on Anaheim and was at no point a FA. If he was, you can bet, multiple teams would have been interested.
