FA/Trade Thread 2014-15 Season V.11 - Trade Deadline Approaching

[dubplatepressure]

Kadri will still be under 30 in 5 years time. Just to keep things in perspective.

Well, exactly. Not like he's just turned 30 or something. We probably haven't even seen the best of him yet.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Brodeur is at tonight's game perhaps to take a look at Reimer for St Louis.

Also linked to Lupul. Maybe Lupul for Berglund+? Or looking at other players also? I doubt St.Louis has interest in Reimer. Dallas and Nashville I believe would be the top 2.

Blues can't afford Lupul with the cap going forward. It's a non-starter unless the Leafs are retaining significant salary, despite any media speculation.

Which they might chose to do if it was able to up the return significantly. We aren't contending until Lupul's contract is up anyway.

 

[Shak19]

Kessel for B. Ritchie, Oleksiak, Horcoff (dump)
JVR for N. Ritchie, Cogliano

Draft:
C Strome or Marner (we should be in top 5 way things are going)
C Konecny (trade our extra picks for #12-13)

Nick and Brett Ritchie should be good power forwards to go along with Strome and Konecny as our #1 and #2 centers.

Good for the rebuild.

Why would Dal be interested in Reimer? Lehtonen is a much better goalie. In addition he (Kari) makes over $6 million. They aren't investing almost $9 mil on goalies.

Nsh would only need Reimer for short period. Doubt they want a backup making over $2 mil sitting on the bench 80% time when Rinne is healthy

 

[dubplatepressure]

My goodness Rielly is playing some good hockey in Dion's absence. Probably posted in the wrong area, but wow... We are lucky to have him.

 

[Alklha]

Of course, that is certainly a possibility. I'd be very surprised if the Blues would be offering a significant return, even for Lupul at 50%. We have a lot of players due extensions in the next 18 months, even Lupul at $2.6m could be problematic in 2016/17.

If it is the Leafs the Blues are looking at, the pure rentals of Winnik and Santorelli are probably the most realistic targets.

Yup he looks unbelievable

I think Leafs lose on this.

Yes you are probably right. I wouldn't be opposed to it though I do like Santorelli. But we have nothing here for him.

 

[Kurisu]

Franson offered 4.6 million and he rejected the offer.

 

[p.l.f.]

Let him rot

 

[Magic Man]

Franson offered 4.6 million and he rejected the offer.

lol I hate this team. Trade his ass already.

 

[Warden of the North]

Franson offered 4.6 million and he rejected the offer.

Lowballed so they can say they tried. Bye Cody

awful trades for us

 

[Warden of the North]

Per Johnston Nonis is at the Kings-Bruins game. Definately something up with the Kings

 

[mydnyte]

At least now he is looking at roster players, and not Richards

 

[p.l.f.]

Interesting

 

[The Thin White Duke]

He's gonna trade them Reilly for a job next year.

 

[rdawg1234]

Gotta be Phaneuf, Kings have some older defensive players and want to maintain that powerhouse level of play, Phaneuf would help turn them around.

but who comes our way? If we do take Richards, they would have to add something really good coming back with him.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Hm, well if we go one-for-one with a roster player like Berglund maybe it could work. I don't know, but there is a good market for Lupul regardless.

Why would Dal be interested in Reimer? Lehtonen is a much better goalie. In addition he (Kari) makes over $6 million. They aren't investing almost $9 mil on goalies.

Lehtonen needs a good backup. He's a much better goalie, but he gets injured a lot and I don't think he can handle a lot of games at a high level. He could benefit from a good backup. Nashville also. Rinne does get injured a fair bit, and he's only getting older. He needs a much better backup than Hutton, and I've seen GM's do some weird things.

I think it's a smaller deal. Thinking Forbert and/ or Nick Shore for a depth D like Robidas or Polak, or maybe a rental like Franson. Cannot see Richards trade happening.

Could also be Clifford, Weal, Nolan or King. That's been previously rumoured. Personally, the only guys of interest in prospects that we could realistically obtain are Colin Miller, Justin Auger, Michael Mersch and Nick Ebert.

I'd only go for Richards if Clarkson is going the other way. I'm repeating that again, but I'm really serious about that.

 

[pspot]

What about Franson for richards?

LA gets. The D help now, depending on what happens with voynov they resign franson or not

Wouldd obviously take a lot on LAs part to sell that deal

1st + Kempe? Clifford?
