Speculation: Your team's needs at trade deadline

[neelynugs]

New GM
New coach
picks and prospects for Ekholm, Granlund, Arvidsson, and our gluttony of bottom 6ers

i'd take both ekholm and arvidsson in boston. one stop shopping

Depending on the price, Winnipeg could get in on that

Ekholm can get a 1st + 2 prospects of varying quality, Arvidsson could get a 1st+. It'd be a great get for a team that needs both, but I think they go separately if we move both.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Too much for the Oilers to fix and no cap space, I have very little hopes of anything positive for the Oilers this season. Management won't have any excuses this offseason.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

The Blues just need everyone to get healthy, mostly. Here are the current players that are out:
Tarasenko (1st Line)
Parayko (1st Pairing)
Schwartz (1st Line)
Bozak (Middle-6)
Thomas (Third Line)
Barbashev (Bottom-6)
Gunnarsson (Bottom Pairing)
De La Rose (4th Line)

I think the Blues needs are few, given hows deep and talented this team is, but I suppose we could use:

• A top-9 forward with the ability to play well in front of the net, or a two-way forward that also beings some offense to further stack our top-9
• A back-up goalie on a short deal that can cover for Husso's learning curve and reduce the workload on Binnington
• A bottom-pairing defensive defenseman that can be a good partner for Dunn/Krug

When healthy, we would look like this:

Schwartz	Schenn	Tarasenko
Perron	O'Reilly	Kyrou
XXX	Thomas	Hoffman
Sundqvist	Barbashev	Bozak

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Clifford, Sanford, MacEachern, De La Rose, Kostin

Krug	Faulk
Scandella	Parayko
Dunn	XXX

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Bortuzzo, Mikkola, Gunnarsson (done for the year), Walman

Binnington

XXX

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Husso

There really isn't a ton to improve on for this team, but I'd be interested in forwards like this (though I don't know who the premier net-front guys are):
Arvidsson, Palmieri, Forsburg, Mantha, Tatar, Pearson, Silfverberg, Rakell, Haula, DeBrusk, Frederic, Hall, Wood, Bratt

Defensemen:
Goligoski, Hjalmarsson, Savard, Montour, Y. Weber

Goalies:
Elliott, Hutton, Mrzaek

Available for Trade off the roster:
Sanford (middle-6 RHS), Bozak (bottom-6 RHS), Dunn (bottom-4 LHS), MAYBE Schwartz (top-6 LHS)

Anything that isn't on the roster, including picks, would be available. This would include Klim Kostin (RHS), who is having an excellent season.

Jets just need to add one more top 4 D.

Ekholm can get a 1st + 2 prospects of varying quality, Arvidsson could get a 1st+. It'd be a great get for a team that needs both, but I think they go separately if we move both.

any specific position preds are in need of from a prospect standpoint? for ekholm and arvidsson,
i figure the b's would have to give up 1st, debrusk, vaakanainen

As long as it's not a goalie. We need quality over quantity rn.

 

[YP44]

Kings fan, all i want is for the teams in the normal pacific to all over pay for assets that then walk away. i hope LA themselves do nothing.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

Habs need a new team, a new coach, a new GM and a new identity.

 

[BHD]

If they're out of the playoff race by the deadline, then they should be trying to acquire draft picks.

 

[BatVader]

Habs need a new “language doesn’t matter because it’s a hockey team not a political party” attitude, then a new GM and a new Coach

I agree with you!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Top 9 forward and defensive depth

 

[patriotfan]

Leafs needs: first of all no cap space, so its going to be tough to make a moves but i would like to see dubasss add a tough Dman and a scrappy tough winger, i just don't know how dubass is going to do it, he created the cap mess they are in so its on his head to fix this issue, i know the team is doing ok at the moment but come playoffs is a different story, if they don't get by this canadian division in the playoffs and maybe another round, his head is on the line for sure, so that is my take on the leafs.....

 

[glenbuis]

I agree with you!

I dont

 

[Kraken Jokes]

If the Habs are in the playoffs picture and things are rolling along well, I can see them being interested in Glendening or a similar 4C.

Obviously they'd like to add another mobile top 4 D.

 

[Tripod]

Ekholm can get a 1st + 2 prospects of varying quality, Arvidsson could get a 1st+. It'd be a great get for a team that needs both, but I think they go separately if we move both.

Konecny for Arvid + Ek

 

[glenbuis]

Konecny for Arvid + Ek

I’m not reading this correctly I don’t think . You get ardvidson and Ekholm for konecny ? I suspose a little salary retention to to make it work ?

I wouldn’t give you ardvidson alone for konecny

 

[Holystik]

Must have been said already but Habs need a mobile #3-4 PMD-LD to play with Weber. Whatever I consider 'available' makes the trade hard to do though...

Lots of picks, B prospects, Byron, chiarot, Weal or perhaps Tatar.

 

[Crow]

Hawks could really use an expiring salary dump for picks or prospects. Could help other teams facilitate a 3 way trade.

Are you still stuck in 2019 when Arvidson was better than TK?

Last 2 years combined, both have played 81 games:

Arvidson has 40 points
Konecny has 73 points

Since int's clear you ARE still in 2019, let me give you some advice. 2020 and 2021 suck, the US gets a new President, and invest in Tesla, Bitcoin and Gamestock.

You are welcome. Hope you don't watch GoT as the finale will disappoint you.

Keep in mind there young man that ardvidson is world class , paced for 48 goals just two years ago and is only 27 making 1.25 million less than konecny .add to that defensively he is much better . Personally I’d take ardvidson if I had to choose but you also think your getting a top pair defenseman with him . Try again. Konecny doesn’t have that kind of value

What Ardivson did years ago does not matter much now. Last year and this year combined, he has paced for 18 goals. That's reality.

But for sure, no sense having any discussion if you would rather a guy who has 40 points in his last 81 games, than one who has 73.

 

[BoltSTH]

For TB they only thing that would be nice is a bottom paring vet LHD with an expiring contract, so Sergachev can play can play full time with Hedman.
