Rumor: Trade Rumours Thread Part V: Gaborik "available"; LeBrun: NYR interested in D. Boyle

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

meh. let him play another few games.

good idea, while we continue to watch out bottom 6 have absolutely zero chance at getting a goal.

Search "greening" in all of the Gabby threads.
Search "hornqvist" in all of the Gabby threads.

There wasn't agreement.

Ottawa:

Zibanejad,Z.Smith, Gonchar/Wiercioch for Gabby & Boyle.

I do not want to move Gaborik at all, but if you replaced Smith with Greening I would have to do that deal. Would understand if you wouldn't/couldn't do that though.

I'd do it... Zibby,Greening,Gonchar/Wiercioch.. I was purely putting Z.Smith in the deal for your 3rd Line C need.

This is an even better deal than Zibby + Greening + 1. Wiercioch is the RD that can contribute today

Nashville

We had this discussion in another thread.
Hornqvist + Blum + first or
Bourque + Ellis + first.

Still waiting for an answer.

id rather give smith than bourque personally. smith has more value to GMs im sure though. ill have to pass with hornqvist involved. these are my counter offers to rangers fans.

craig smith + jonathan blum + 2nd round pick

matt halischuk + ryan ellis + 1st round pick

gabriel bourque (leading preds in goals) + jonathan blum + 1st round pick

You are now nibbling around the edges.

We came down from Hornqvist + Ellis + first to Hornqvist + Blum + first to Bourque + Ellis + first, because you guys said that Hornqvist was not in play but Bourque was.
Like I said in another thread Bourque is shooting 21 % that won't last.
But I will take him instead of Hornqvist as a compromise, if Ellis and first are involved.
Bourque + Ellis + First is as far as we can go, if you don't want to send Hornqvist.

Edit: Wilson was discussed too but he was a non starter as far as you concerned and we respect that.

id settle for jonathan blum + patric hornqvist + 2013 1st round pick .. wouldnt be thrilled but we need a ****ing goal scorer.. just hope the 1st isnt top 10 like its looking...

Done, fax the papers over.

wish we could... the more i watch our top 6, the more desperate i get...

As an aside, Kreider just scored again for the Whale to tie it up against Springfield, 1-1.

Will St. Louis approach Yzerman or the other way around? Will any of this even take place? Who knows? But wouldn't St. Louis, with his career winding down, at least think about it?

This is just speculation, not a rumor, but I think it's something to think about. I've been saying for a couple of years now: if things don't go too well in TB, and there is a chance that St. Louis wants to finish his career with a contender, the Rangers should be all over that. Don't give me the he's too old ****; he's easily one of the top 5 playmakers in the league today. We've got the Tortorella/Richards connection.

I've always been a MSL fan but I don't see him leaving Tampa. Seems like the type of guy who'd rather finish his career in Tampa. He's already got the cup.

He should never be available. Doesn't he also play RW?

Awesome player. But...Another RW

We could move Nash to his natural wing.

 

[Vitto79]

Stlouis, Thompson for gaborik n Boyle

 

[GarretJoseph*]

I hope this team doesn't do something like trade Callahan. Essentially Nash and Gaborik are both better RW's than Cally and if you can move Callahan for a top LW, then it's hard to argue that. Everybody is talking about dealing Gaborik but I wouldn't be shocked if it's Callahan being dealt as one of the top 3 RW's we have on the team.

This is absolutely preposterous.

 

[I Am Chariot]

MSL available at the trade deadline would get TONS of interest around the NHL. Tampa would get a return of 1st round non bust prospects, future 1st and 2nd rounders, Young non questionable contributors at the NHL level.

Doubt they want Gabby... No way they want Boyle.

They want Mcdonagh They want Krieder. They want Hags

 

[GarretJoseph*]

This is absolutely preposterous.

Which part? Do you consider Callahan a better RW than Nash/Gabby?

Trade our Captain...that would be shocking. This ain't Philly

Time to let go of the 'Hartford boys' era. Dubi Korpi and AA already gone. Girardi Callahan maybe next. This is the Stepan era. If you could find a team willing to give up a skilled LW scorer like Blues with Perron, you've got to explore with it. I'd do Callahan for Perron.

He's the heart and soul of this team.

The part where we trade our Captain over someone like Gaborik when we are in a win now scenario.

They want D for perron if he's moved. I doubt del zotto would be enough

If he wasn't the captain he'd be the obvious choice to trade. 9 out of 10 other GM's would most likely keep Nash/Gabby over Callahan. As he is the captain and "heart of this team" - that changes everything not to mention being well loved by the city.

If Leetch and Graves can be traded, so can Callahan.

Take the contract into consideration....Cally also has the elusive intangibles.

Nash is going nowhere

Gabby is having a down year, we'd be trading low... He'd still give a better return then Cally because he's a goal scorer... At least he's supposed to be and any GM giving up assets for gabby is expecting GOALS in the playoffs...

Look where Leetch and Graves were in their careers when they were traded. Callahan is in his prime and is playing about a million times more effectively than Gaborik.

This isn't a rebuild season.

 

[I Am Chariot]

Leetch and Graves were at a different stage of their careers .

I understand and get it. I don't want to move Callahan either but IMO he's the 3rd best RW on this team. I think it's easier to replace a Callahan as a 3rd line RW than it would be to replace a Nash or Gaborik as a 1-2 RW goal scorers who can hit 40+ goals. Nash is a beast and I could see somebody like Staal or Danny G becoming captain if Cally is moved.
