Speculation: 2017-2018 Trade Rumors Thread

[duxfan1101]

Now TSN is saying the Knights are getting Reaves in the deal, which is funny because they have Deryk Engelland but he has refused to play the enforcer role this season. (0 fights in 59 games).

They're also reportedly getting a 4th from PIT as compensation for taking Reaves' contract

That Reaves trade looked dumb during the draft and looks even dumber now.

So where is Cole going? 4th team or staying in one of Ottawa/Vegas?

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

That's also assuming the Knights think Cole is better than Sbisa, Theodore, Hunt, Merrill, Garrisson. We'll see once the full trade is announced but I don't see the Knights needing another 3rd pairing D-man.

Well, if they are interested I'm of the belief it's because of his cup experience which they never expected to need this year, more than him being a clear upgrade on the ice. But I'm not saying the absolutely need or want him, just that I see a logical reason why they might, now.

I'm guessing Vegas just wanted Reaves. And they got him and a fourth for a cool $1.4 million and Lindberg.

Ottawa for now but most likely a fourth team. If they can get something decent for him, that's not that bad of a haul for a year and change of Brassard.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah, I guess Cole stays in OTT for now.

Send Melnyk a 4th rounder plus a new bus and be done with it.

40% retention on Brassard contract by Vegas. Not sure about that one GMGM.

 

[McDonald19]

Apparently they are retaining on his 17-18 salary, but not on his 18-19 salary which I didn't know was possible, but ok...

Where'd you see that?

In the trade board thread.

Brassard traded to Penguins in three-team deal - Article - TSN

According to a Penguins release, Vegas is retaining 40 per cent of Brassard's salary this season.

I'm not a CBA expert, but I really thought they would have to retain on his 18-19 salary too.

LeBrun just tweeted they have to haha. Weird the Pens would word it that way.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah, that's always been the rule. X% for the remaining life of the contract. No variation year to year either.

 

[McDonald19]

Thought so What is GMGM doing?

Well.......there could be another deal in the works we haven't heard about yet...and this retention could have been a factor.

Looks like they might've bought Reaves and a 4th, which isn't too bad I guess. John Shannon also insinuated they did it to prevent him from coming out West, but considering it sounds like Winnipeg would've gotten him, that seems like dubious reasoning.

I’m going to close this thread in about 10 minutes so everything isn’t getting split up. Get any last posts in now, or preferable just take them to the other thread.

We should get Chris Chelios to sign with us to fix our defensive issues.

Damn it. I shouldn't be laughing at that.

Let it begin.

 

[The Duck Knight]

I'll believe teams actually want Perry without retention after a deal is done. Until then I'm skeptical.

Gotta think St. Louis and Montreal would be at the front of the pack for Getzlaf. Montreal has trash to offer but St. Louis could put together a nice package with some combo of Kyrou/Fabbri/Thomas + 1st + one of Berglund/Sobotka for salary purposes.
