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

[Micklebot]

Yikes surprised we didnt beat that… too bad

Might have been on his NTC.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

At a certain point it may be better to just ride with Gambrell than dumpster dive severely.

Gambrell a has been playin really good

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

The point is not about Gambrell not playing well or not. But it's if we get an injury, poof.

Plus, for example, Watson could be suspended. That's a hole in the bottom 6.

 

[HSF]

ya we need centre depth

And Winnipeg wasn't?

I'm gonna get greedy here and want Gudas. Would allow us to have 3 solid pairings:

Chabot-Zub
Chychrun-Gudas
Sanderson-Hamonic

Brannstrom+prospect

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

It's not like we were going to acquire someone because Watson might have been suspended a game or two anyways.

Bobfather confirms we kicked tires on Karlsson in the last few weeks, along with the Oilers and Leafs.

San Jose is trying to retain as little as possible, and EK is fine waiting until the summer when his potential options will expand.

He pretty much said the other day it's too late to be asked to waive his no trade clause. Definitely a summer move.

Maybe teams seeing him walk away with the Norris will convince them to pony up.

His scoring pace is probably going to slow down after San Jose traded everyone though

So i'm assuming we don't make any moves today?

I'd bet on Vegas.

Alec Martinez only has an 8 team NTC, and I bet for lifestyle reasons, San Jose is not on there. They'd probably be willing to take him on for his last year, so they could send him back. And Lehner is likely to stay on LTIR. Plus I'm sure they could move W.Karlsson or Marchessault to make more room, but if Lehner isn't coming back they wouldn't even need to.

Karlsson and Stone back together on the strip. Would be fun to watch.

Ya it might. I doubt it's enough to take him out as the Norris favorite though, he's about to pass his best season in Ottawa with 20 games to go. I think a deal of this magnitude though isn't going to be based off a 20 game sample with a post deadline lottery team.

Teams know what they're getting with Karlsson at this point and I think the obstacle of a deadline deal is fitting in such a large cap hit (even at ~18% retained as rumored) mid season. A team like Edmonton would have needed another sizable piece out the door on top of Barrie/Pulujarvi if they'd gotten him instead of Ekholm, so you start getting to the point of subtracting too much from a playoff roster or just not being able to shed enough.

Aren't there usually waiver guys due to trades? Maybe we put in a claim on them before the deadline? Not sure how that works lol with eligibility for playoffs.

Karlsson and Stone back together.

They are definitely a team I've thought would be in the running and looking at their Capfriendly thought they could make it work.

I really wanted to see him on Edmonton, but that's out at this point.

Calgary is a dark horse team imo if they jettison Sutter, but I don't see it if he stays.

Can fit him in with some retention if Chabot and Joseph are going the other way.

Imagine how deadly our PP would be with the best offensive D in the league QBing it instead of Chabot.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Have there been any paper roster moves. To make players eligible for Belleville playoffs,
in case they somehow go on a winning streak.

I guess so?

Vegas never says no to a big acquisition, but I don't know whether it makes sense for them to trade away forwards to fit Karlsson in on a right-side that currently has Pietrangelo, Theodore and Whitecloud + depth guys like Miromanov, Korczak, Mayo.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Whew, some good news.

 

[BankStreetParade]

I still think the severity of the penalty was a reaction to the injury more than the hit itself. The fact that they had to call it charging after reviewing it to justify a major tells me they overreacted in the first place.

Playing around with CapFriendly, they could actually fit him in if SJ retains 18% and takes back Martinez, and could keep Marchessault, W. Karlsson and Lehner, and not really subtract any other player. They have more flexibility than I thought. Cap might even be going up more than to just $83.5 based on the hints from insiders.

And Theodore has played the left-side before (he's a LS) and could shift back.

They could run:

Theodore - Pietrangelo
McNabb - Karlsson
Hague - Whitecloud

That's an outstanding D corps.

What's the latest on Talbot?
Are we driving him to FA?
