2023 Trade Deadline and Speculation (March 3, 2023 3PM ET)

[LT]

Stankoven should be the only unmovable player not already on the roster. He might be the most exciting (offensively) prospect we've seen maybe ever, in my opinion.

Everyone else might be missed, but I trust the scouting enough to believe we aren't losing anything special.

What the

lmao f***

 

[Kcb12345]

Wild retaining 25% for scraps

Not sure I get why they wanted O'Reilly...

 

[Kcb12345]

So I wonder what this means as far as Kane is concerned

ROR as their 3C is brazy depth

Matthews
Tavares
ROR
Kerfoot

Kerfoot may not be around much longer but damn, that certainly is center depth

Love seeing eastern conference teams load up.

I worry that if we don't get Kane, Vegas will with the cap space they'll get by putting Stone on LTIR

All depends on where Kane even wants to go tho. May not wanna come here who knows

 

[TangoMcBride]

This team, as currently constructed, isn't going anywhere. That much is clear.

Surely Jim Nill recognizes this, right? RIGHT?

It might help that him and Seguin had great chemistry in Switzerland along with know Pavelski, Suter, sharp, etc.

another suitor down. pkane inevitable

That was also a very different Seguin Kane was passing to.

Well yes that’s true, but I’m sure Segs will try to lure him in still.

look what they gave up, we don't have those picks:

soooooo we'd have to give to get and ROR had a smaller cap hit so we're left to figure that out too

Could send a pick to Arizona to make it a 3 team deal and take 25% of that cap hit

Good for Toronto fans. Their GM made a big move. Nill…well I would say wait and see but we know he wont get a player close to ROR. This team needs another piece.

As far as Stankoven is concerned I’m not opposed to moving him but someone of Elisa Petterssons caliber better be coming back in that deal.

This post made me ask the question, “What would be a present version of the Iginla-for-Nieuwendyk trade that the Stars could make?” That is, what would be a very painful trade that two franchises could make that would also turn out very rewarding for both?

Strictly as an answer to this question: Stankoven for Meier

To keep the comparison going, is it even remotely possible for the Stars to sign Meier to an extension, assuming GMJN2.0 would not offer him more than “the Miro”?

Stankoven and Harley for Pettersson. Let’s not pretend he is happy in Vancouver. Also another Canadian team who like Calgary probably won’t win a cup.

It will take something that significant to move Stankoven. I can’t see Nill doing it though.

The comparison dies immediately when you consider the salary cap. Prospects like Iginla were less valuable then than they would be now because they don't play on a low cap ELC contract for 3 years, and players like Nieuwendyk are less valuable now because you have to pay them for how good they are and that limits your options elsewhere.

It's an elegant comparison, and I agree with it completely, but it's ultimately a superficial one that isn't a basis for present day trades.

Just IMO to answer your question more directly, it's tough to extend Meier. It's doable by moving Faksa and Marchment in this offseason, but it's also devoting way too much cap to the forwards. They need to save some room long term in their forward budget for some of the outrageous raises that might be coming to certain players post ELC.
