Speculation: Flames are interested in Kyle Palmieri, Oilers looking at Brady Skjei, Andreas Johnsson, Darcy Kue

[devils29]

Is dermott something that moves the needle there?

Nah lol

 

[Nanuuk]

I don't think Palms waives to go to Calgary, personally.

He only has a modified no trade clause. How do you know Calgary isn't on his list of acceptable teams?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

It was already reported at the Trade Deadline that all Canadian teams were on Kyle Palmieri's no trade list, Reportedly he doesn't want to play in Canada. A good old American kid that wants to stay in the States.

@Mods can we get a Roger Dicklund tag for future Dicklund rumours.

 

[super6646]

Please don’t trade skjei to Edmonton... I love him

This dude does not deserve a tag. He’s a hack

then again Eklund has one and he’s the HACKMAN

Now we're asking the real questions

Because I generally just assume that NTC's are often for the Canadian markets, to be honest. There has never been anything said or leaked or anything that makes me think that, so it's just my gut on that.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Because during the Trade Deadline, Dreger, LeBrun, McKenzie all the insiders said that all Canadian teams were on his no trade list.

Thanks.

I can't see Skjei getting moved already from Carolina considering they just acquired him. But I can see why Edmonton would be asking with Klefbom probably done for next season.

I would really laugh if Johnsson goes for the same return as Kapanen while AA and Virtanen don't get qualified. Cost certainty for the next 2 to 3 years is going to carry a high value if that does happen.

 

[Dr Quincy]

I could see a Johnsson and Larsson swap after Free Agency if the the leafs cant land a d

Without Klefbom I think it would be hard for EDM to deal Larsson.

 

[kabidjan18]

Wait, wouldn't this actually make sense?

Gaudreau for Palmieri plus something.

If they plan on contending soon maybe Gaudreau plus 4-7 rd pick for Palmieri plus Zacha.

With Klef possibly out all year it really doesn't make any sense for the Oilers to swap Larsson (or any of their top 4 defensemen) for a winger.

Edit: Assuming of course Edmonton hasn't found two more top 4 guys in free agency, but I think it's safe to say they won't.

Carolina has an amazing glut of NHL LHD. Slavin, Skjei, Gardiner, Fleury, and Bean is overripe for the AHL.

Skjei was acquired at a moment of need, the Canes liked the price (essentially arbitrage: buying underpriced assets to sell at a premium), Fleury exceeded expectations and outplayed Skjei. We're going to lose a LHD to Seattle...it makes sense to make moves from our excess to fill needs now. All reasons to make a move.

Skjei is just the desirable piece to move (cap space) while also being good enough to return what the Canes need.

 

[SML2]

Where were the Oilers when the Rangers were shopping Skjei? Oh yeah. Lost as usual.

If Carolina flips Skjei for a higher 1st I will LOL.

I am not sure you are getting more than what was moved out for him. a first round pick. I don't see Edmonton having NHL pieces that really fit with Carolina and they have very limited futures that can move.

As for Fleury was he not being used on the right side and played really well there? Carolina definitely will have a need for a top 4 RHD with Hamilton hitting UFA.

As for ED you go 4x4 and expose Gardiner. Unless Bean is not ED exempt. Then you do have a protection issue.

 

[Coachcorner]

Johnsson is better than most make him out to be around here. Would be a solid addition for the Oilers. Isn’t great at anything but good all around player. No glaring weakness. Good shot, he’s a pest and a good skater.

Johnsson.... a pest

Where? In his home behind closed doors? You seen him play sire? No? He ain't a pest I can assure you that. He is not a very physical player neither, not like he should be. I wouldn't want him on my team, especially if there's enough skill already and even some scoring power. Useless player indeed then. Be very aware. :alarm:

bean is not exempt

The gap between Palmieri and Johnny is huge IMO. I’d be pissed if he was the main piece for Johnny.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

bean is not exempt

So that's the rub then. you have to move one of Bean, Skeji or Fleury.

Not really. Canes are going to lose a good player in the expansion draft regardless. If you move one now, you still lose another in the expansion draft so you lose 2.

Protect: Staal, Aho, Teravainen, Svechnikov, Trocheck and probably Foegele and Geekie at F.

Slavin, Pesce, Hamilton (if re-signed). If Hamilton isn’t re-signed, one of Skjei, Fleury or Bean.

even if you move one of the D, you still have to expose 1 or 2.

So even less of a reason to trade Skjei unless Edmonton has a piece you really want.

Johnsson plays with an edge to his game. What have you been watching? The problem for him is hes really small so you arent going to see him crushing people. Hes definitely a guy who outworks players. You dont make the NHL as a small 7th round pick if you lack effort.

Aaaah mayne. It ain't like that nah sire. Naaah. Johnsson ain't playing the game with the real edge at all. He a pretender. That's the worst ice hockey player can have like my coach said back in the day. He has soft games often. I ain't having that in my team no no no. No nono like sir ben kingsley says in the sexy beast. You gotta look up on that film sire. Johnsson for the leafs.... we ain't needing him no more. no no no. Not at all. There are so many nhl players with more "edge" than this fool for the game. He a pretender like that artist. He ain't no good. and like I said before, he definitely ain't no PEST. like for that, I'm laughing out loud for certainly out here.
