Man, NYR fans are REALLY trying to get rid of Goodrow. His name is in virtually every NYR rumor I read.
Speculation: Alex Wennberg scratched for a trade

This is the slowest moving trade ever, or maybe they meant that Wennberg had a big Fantasy trade in the offing?
Dark horse for me is Vancouver for Podkolzin maybe some other moving parts.
Close to Seattle where his partner etc are and that see wedding connection

The thread title is misleading. Guys have been held out for 3-4 games before when the team knew they were going to deal him. Usually it means that their minimum price has been met, but they’re still negotiating for as much as they can get.
Basically, a trade is near but not necessarily imminent.

You have to wait just a couple of minutes, Billy G fat fingered his phone and is now on a phone queue to rent-a-maid
Trading Podz would be a mistake.
I know people only value points but if we had That mentality with Hogz we would have lost him for dick all.
Podz as seen last night and in Abby has tantalizing tools but has had serious negative, development paths since he was drafted. Giving up on him now only to see him breakout somewhere else would be Neely lite 2.0 and for what? Wenberg? No thanks.

It means by Friday at 3pm, he may or may not be traded. They are trying to make a deal but don't want him to be injured in case they do find a deal

If NYR can someone get Wennberg and then Vrana as well it would be huge for their forward depth. They are struggling in that area with both Wheeler and Chytil out for the season.

I wouldnt move more than a 2nd for him but feels like the type of move that’ll be a conditional 2nd that turns to a 1st if we make ECF. Basically the copp trade from 2022

It does happen all the time. It’s about matching the cap. Flames got a cap dump when the made the David Jones trade. They just needed to get the cap space room. Also the seller can actually turn around and sell the UFA for another asset. Maybe retain on them to increase the value. So it actually does make sense.

My Devils are not making the playoffs but I would have liked Wennberg for a McCleod replacement . Is he a upcoming UFA or does he have some term left

He’s great but we need every ounce of cap space we can get for next year and we really can’t afford to pay a bottom 6 forward 3+ million

Cool. So as a Rangers fan let me ask - why on earth are we retaining salary and attaching assets to a guy that could be bought out for a cap credit next season and whose buyout would be a near league minimum hit for almost every single season?
We can't seriously be thinking that the $2m increase in the buyout for one season in a year where Trouba and Panarin are both off their current deals is enough to justify attaching picks or retaining salary on him, can we?

UFA. They can make a move in the offseason for him if that's the direction they want to take.

It still comes back to the reality that unless the pick thrown in is a late, late rounder, the finances are so in the Rangers favor to just buy him out rather than get extorted by another team.
