Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[ErnieLeafs]

Not disagreeing with you, but find it kind of ironic that Cowan was 28th. overall pick.

This year at this point they'd be picking 23rd.?

This is true, and I trust our scouting staff to find useful prospects, given their history, but if you can get a cost controlled NHL’er who makes your team better, you’re kinda obligated to do it, within reason. We need to put together a contender in Matthews’ window, and while we may not have the horses to win it all this year, if you can add a guy like Parayko, and supplement in the offseason, next year could look pretty rosey

So would you do:

Crouse and Dumba 50% retention
for
Knies and Kampf

 

[Evilhomer]

That's where I thought Lindholm would end up in the first place (Boston), but it seems like a stretch to think that Vancouver would dump him this quickly.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Seems like it would be like a historically awful case of asset management lol they won't get from Boston what they paid Calgary for him and then would still turn around and have to pay the premium for Guentzel

I commented on it but it basically feels like this is the kind of rumor that gets put out there at this time of year to generate clicks / hype for TDL.

 

[CatchyTune]

Why would Vancouver have to trade Lindholm to be able to get Guentzel? Lack of cap space or assets? I dont get it just get both if you wanna go all in.

 

[BertCorbeau]

What a knee jerk move to move Lindholm to soon… just to get Guentzel

overdrive boys saying it hasnt worked out as they liked with elias. tocchett and rutherford love guentzel

No, love Crouse, but Dumba is a black hole, not worth even obtaining Crouse imo. Now if you could flip Dumba elsewhere………

Flipping him after 14 games would look ridiculous, especially if they dont need to (cap space wise). If they soured on him I would just keep him as a rental, as he should be very valuable for the playoffs anyway, and try to acquire Guentzel for the long term.

 

[stickty111]

So no Bogosian. Good

 

[WTFMAN99]

So no Bogosian. Good

I thought Zucker made sense for Carolina because he's a good finisher but then I looked at their wing depth, top 9 is stacked LW/RW, it's a marginal upgrade.

 

[sxvnert]

f*** it. Load up on d size and go for it:

Brodie+Lily for Zadarov + Myers

Rielly E.Johnson
McCabe Myers
Zadorov Boosh
Benoit

 

[LeafSteel]

Can’t post a GIF if my life depended on it here…….

 

[Roo]

He's playing next to Leddy.

He actually broke up the cycle quite a bit and moved the puck up the ice

I think a lot of people liked to give him flack for that Knies goal.

Mcmann goal was worse. Listen, I don’t watch him play every game. But if the two games I watched against the blues was any indication, it’s not good. And I was liking the thought of him here before those games.

 

[rumman]

Benoit

Not the answer, but I’d do it just to get rid of Brodie, he’s a anchor and will be a main reason for no playoff success imo…….

 

[stickty111]

 

[rumman]

Nice pick up

 

[stats1]

Wow!

Guentzel probably going to Vancouver

 

[Amadeus]

Guentzel is a solid potential add for Vancouver but I think they're too soft up front and this acquisition won't change that.

 

[horner]

Lindholm wasn't great in calgary

 

[trellaine201]

I wouldn’t pick up an injured player . Who cares if he’s been rushed back lol

 

[stats1]

Man I gotta admit if Canucks get Guentzel they look really good heading into the playoffs. JT Miller and Guentzel are guys who live for the playoffs

 

[All Mod Cons]

Bring back Eemeli Rasanen

Did you miss the word good?
