League News: 2023 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

[Hivemind]

Don't know the extent of Tuch's injury, but they're complaining on the Buffalo board of missing out on the Niederreiter deal and not acting quick enough as Tuch was injured on Friday.

Perhaps we can interest them in Jensen and Sheary. Among their assets, that Flyers 2nd round pick they have in '23 appeals to me. Of course would have to be more then just that pick.

Buffalo already knows Sheary. He's not a replacement for Tuch there.

I think this is why GMBM ran with the Bruins offer.

I don't think these cases are similar at all. Niederreiter has another year left on his contract. Nashville in general don't want to retain salary. Bruins got Orlov with 75% retention because he is UFA.

I think the deal is so poor because Nashville doesn't want to take cap dumps back but want to save actual money. Most contenders can't do that.

Per Cap Friendly, Sabres are at the bottom in cap. Young team, Tuch's a RW, the player that would really compliment that team and benefit their young players would be Oshie.

NHL network just now…..

Gus, TVR, Jensen all being discussed in extension talks, if not, all could move.

Sheary and Eller generating interest. “A lot of teams looking at Eller”…..

 

[trick9]

Regarding Jensen... who are the other top puck-moving D's that can defend on the market?

Should be a good market for Jensen if he isn't extended.

 

[usiel]

Eller is sort of a classic player that contending teams will want to pick up for depth.

Eller is as good as gone I think. He’s not playing center if all the forwards are healthy and Protas is better than him on the wing.

Report: Capitals interested in acquiring Jakob Chychrun from Arizona Coyotes

The Washington Capitals made their first big move before the 2023 NHL trade deadline on Thursday when they shipped Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway to the Boston Bruins. More moves are expected and TSN's Darren Dreger is reporting on what...

Thinking on it more, not overly interested in shipping out Jensen unless it’s an overpay like a 1st rounder or a real solid prospect. Would rather keep and sign him if they can. Same for TVR. Lock down that right side for another couple years, I think TVR and Jensen should remain alright

Can't think of a more well-rounded rental D that's for sure. Not after Orlov moved.



FWIW. Probably nothing. Given that the Caps are about to go out West it would make sense logistically to make moves in the next couple days.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Surely Edmonton wouldn’t be one of those teams? Chance to play with McDavid in his prime for a cup? Anyone would jump at that, especially for 3 months of work

Edmonton blew it because Orlov and Hathaway would have been perfect adds for them. They could have easily matched a 1, 2, 3, and Smith from BOS with 1, 2, 3, and Puljujarvi. Bad GMing

Have you been to Edmonton in the winter?

I don’t know the mechanics of Orlov’s NTC, and whether it resets every year, or was set up when the contract was signed.

I gave a very plausible reason to the posters question on why Edmonton wasn’t in the mix.

That's what i thought. Should be a good market for him.

Entertaining week coming up for sure.

Orlov is literally from Siberia though. It's a colder Edmonton minus the functioning society

I don't get the return from Nashville's standpoint. This is a trade involving a division rival, where Winnipeg just had one of their top 6 forwards go down for 8 weeks, this should be the definition of desperate. Niederreiter was having a good year with the Preds (18g 10a), he's on target for his third 20 goal season in a row and all he cost was a 2nd. Poille could have waited to see where Meier ended up and then approach the teams that lost out with the consolation prize of Nino. At the very least wait a few more days to assess the market, doubt it would have gotten worse for Niederreiter.

From a Capitals standpoint this concerns me as the returns we would like to get for our forwards, Eller, Sheary, MAJO may be way less.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong but it sounds like your concern is exactly why Poile pulled the trigger. Better to cash out than be left waiting at the dance, right?

Might be why he doesn't want to go back.

I would hate that.

Can't fathom what TBL even has to offer. Ross Colton & Isaac Howard? Weird fit if that's how it plays out.

The Caps should say goodbye and trade Backstrom to Nashville. Reunite him with Trotz.

Abe owes us a favor before he retires at seasons end

The East is going to be a bloodbath and truth be told, I’m not all that upset I’ll just be able to watch playoff hockey this year without feeling like my heart is going to pound through my chest with every shot.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Come on West teams…..bring those high picks and prospects out!
