Which real good players will be traded this year?
- Thread starter Skinnyjimmy08
- Start date
If Moose Jaw is on the outskirts come deadline time, I wouldn't be surprised to see Brayden Yager moved. They need to recoup assets after last year, and that would go a long way in doing so.
Same with Prince Albert, wouldn't shock me to see Dragicevic moved. Even though they just traded for him, let's be honest they didn't give up much for him. They could get some nice pieces to add to their very young, deep core by trading him.

They gave up an NHL prospect - I wouldn't call that "not much".
Kamloops could get a lot for Brunicke and a respectable return for Finnie.
In Tri-City maybe Arpin or Zemlak could fetch some good picks.
Not sure about the Eastern teams as I don't get to see them too often.

Didn't give up much in the way of futures, though. Usually when a player like Dragicevic (or Goldsmith for that matter) are traded, there's a lot of picks and young players involved. Not so much for that deal.
The goal is to make the playoffs for Kamloops according to coaching staff. But I think should things go completely awry, I can see that scenario.
Players who will be moved (and the buzz on where to)
- Moose Jaw will trade Yager to PG for a bunch of picks and prospects. He will get to play with Heidt again. Book that one.
- Ratzlaff traded before he returns from the WJC. Will end up in Lethbridge for Oaten to shore up Seattle's future in net.
- Howe will be traded by the Pats. My call is that they trade him to Kamloops, who has a bunch of picks available, but it might be Victoria.
Yager is as good as gone if the Warriors don't turn it around by November 15th. PA thought they had a team this season, so maybe they make a comeback. Is it possible that 3/6 East Division teams miss the playoffs? I think so. Pats want the lottery pick but MJ and PA will challenge them it looks like.
Kamloops gave up a trillion picks two years ago for Zellweger/Hofer, incuding the pick that turned into Landon Dupont. They aren't great this year and are not in a position to give up MORE picks in a year that they are not going to accomplish anything.
Teams in on Howe? I could see PG if they don't get someone else. Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Saskatoon, Brandon, Spokane.
They also got those picks and then some back last year. But no they won't be in on Howe.
Kamloops has a ton of picks and the season is still young. They will make the playoffs and will want to play a round or 2. Don't count them out.
Other potential homes for Howe?

Seems plausible, hopefully PG picks up Yager. A Heidt-Yager-Parascak/Ziemmer line would tear up the league.

More than they would get for Ratzlaff?
Seattle and Moose Jaw both need to restock picks and are not going to come back to make the playoffs. Look for them to be the first movers, maybe even before the WJC camp opens.

At this point, Blazers aren't sellers. 9-3-0 in their past 12. 8 points behind Everett for 1st overall.
