Proposal: Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic]

[Slippy]

The NHL is a business.

It has TV contracts that generate revenue. It's in the NHL's interest to create media hype, it's just good business to do so. So ya I think there's a certain amount of leakage that takes place

I am not saying they don't speculate, but to say they speculate as much as the posters here, is ridiculous. Plus when they speculate, I tend to think they have some other info that makes that speculation more probable at least.

 

[Loach]

This is exactly what I am afraid of Dorion doing, him thinking we have any sort of chance this year is asinine.

Matt Duchesne 2.0 and 3.0 all in one season. Hold on tight!

Friedman on radio again “ I mentioned Jensen for Ottawa today, now I wonder if Trevor Van Reimsdyk makes more sense for them”

This dude knows nothing.

Speculation.

It’s a little boring that he said it as speculation. Would be more fun if he wa slike “Sens close to van riemsdyk”

For sure ya

Imagine if Dorion's multi-year search for a defenseman ends by acquiring a nearly 32 year old rental Trevor Van Riemsdyk.

Bit underwhelming might be an understatement.

Acquiring TVR wouldnt end his multi-year search - his pink slip would.

Could be an attempt by the Penguins to ditch his cap to open up space for Chychrun, who they are apparently interested in.

Yeah. They're tight to the cap and it challenges all their moves whether IR or otherwise. I think worst case scenario we retain half his salary next year and get a pick. He's only 26.

Kasperi Kapanen on waivers. I personally think he would be a useful Formenton replacement.

Trade Joseph for Kapanen - Kapanen has two years less term then Joseph this would free up money at the end of next year when kk contract expires.

Makes too much. He's a guy I'd look to as a plan C in the offseason, but nothing more than that.

This morning I talked myself into Dumba.

Now I’ve talked myself out of it

Well, at least your listening to the voices in your head

This morning I talked myself into Dumba.

Are you ok?

…actually, is he?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Future considerations needs to be done away with.

I find it incredible that we gave up murray plusbretained salary and got nothing back.

And then Zaitsev plus a 2 plus a 4th. Aaaaaand we got nothing back. Like just give a 7th back

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Then the sens have a hole at center. Trading rookie centermen men when you're 12th in the conference with your #1 center and your #1 goalie out for the season makes absolutely no sense. Terrifying times to be a sens fan. Can't believe how short sighted this board is. They aren't winning anything this year. Mortgaging the future when your two best players are 21 and 20 is idiotic.

You experiencing one of your random fits again?

Chychrun is 24. Pesce is 28. Both are top pairing defenders playing in the most coveted position in hockey and in their primes.

How in God's green earth is that short-sighted. This isn't just about now. It's now AND the future. Either should only be considered if we know we have an excellent shot at re-signing them. Chychrun wants to be here, we know that. He said so. We'd be able to extend Pesce this off-season.

Very unusual response from you. Short-sighted post.

Is it really that unreasonable for a fan to be concerned about a likely lame duck GM trying to make a job saving trade under immense pressure?

So change it to 2nd + 3rd for a 7th back? I don’t think it will change anything, the scales will balance

 

[ThaShow]

 

[Sensinitis]

Chychrun is the best option ainec imo

Best player available and has a great multi year contract

Chabot/Sanderson/Zub/Chychrun as your top 4 is amazeballs

Very ready to overpay

I just don’t like the look of it it’s f***ing dumb and I also find these annoying old vanilla GMs clutch their pearls over 7th round picks

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Prefer we keep Brannstrom and acquire an actual RD. Don't think I'll be happy with this trade, as good as Chychrun might be.

Mines short sighted? You've made up an accelerated timeline based on impatience.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

My analysis is that our forwards are good good and our dmen are bad bad bad bad but if we trade good for bad bad we'd only be good bad which would lead to us winning more overall.

Please don't let Dorion make any big trades at the dead line.
He has had his run.. he has tried to fix mistakes by trading picks.
The AHL team is not very good.. the NHL prospects there are not very good.
We have a couple 3rd liners in the system maybe.
DeBrincat was a flashy trade at the expense of quality depth .. The return will drop after the TDL. Signing him will hamstring other areas that need to be solidified to move towards a legit playoff team.
The price on Chychrun is too high to allow Dorion to execute that trade.

Aside from moving out UFAs to any team desperate enough to take them, I hope he does nothing.

This is a very legit concern. Yes.
