Sportsnet: Nashville open for business

[TrufleShufle]

Selling in any given year when you're likely not looking at a playoff spot doesn't inherently mean rebuilding. Being open for business doesn't even mean that you'll make all that many deals.

Most teams most of the time don't truly rebuild.

 

[Smitty426]

Miles Wood and a 3rd for Trenin

Add Jeannot and Walsh

 

[StephenPeat]

Yeah I would absolute love this guy on the Leafs. Big physical RD who is very responsible defensively and just straight up nasty to play against. Would be a dream if we could land him.

My wish list for the dead line is, Ekholm and Tom Wilson. Lmao I know cap wise it would be next to impossible to do, but would be phenomenal.

Quite simply and succinctly stated; Toronto does not have anywhere near the tradable assets to get within the universe of this happening.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

He aint RD bro

Irrelevant

 

[ThatGuy22]

Nashville is in an incredibly poor position to sell.

Everyone is either expensive and signed long term or not worth much.

Not the typical deadline targets.

I'd damn near empty the prospect cupboard to acquire Ekholm if the money could be worked out.

Rielly Ekholm

Brodie Giordano

Would be a fantastic top 4

Ekholm is a LD.

He's played on the right but never for more than a few games. He spent like 3 games on the right this year before they decided it would be better to put Josi there instead.

 

[Osprey]

Kings could pivot off Chychrun and target Ekholm instead… cheaper to acquire

He'd be cheaper to acquire, but he's also 8 years older and has a $1.625M higher cap hit. He fits what LA's looking for, style-wise, but not age- and contract-wise.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Jeremy Lauzon to LA.

 

[Soundgarden]

Jeremy Lauzon to LA.

Please.

A decision made by one of the worst coaches in professional hockey. Take that decision with a huge grain of salt.

 

[kilowatt]

Jeremy Lauzon to LA.

I'd rather have Ekholm to be honest. Something around Ekholm with Petersen going the other way would be awesome. Not sure how LA swings that though. Maybe a starting point of Turcotte or Kupari and a first?

Anderson - Doughty
Ekholm - Durzi
Bjornfot - Roy

Ekholms best days are behind him.

Rather not give up those big of assets on someone with that large of a cap hit on the downside of his career.

I am pretty confident in saying David Poile would never take Peterson's contract.

 

[LeighDx59]

Poile said before the start of last season that the Preds were doing a competitive retool, so id imagine he's seeing what he can get for certain players and wont make the move unless its worth it. Guys like McDonagh/Ekholm could bring in a decent haul. Guys like Trenin (who's always had tough negotiations with new contracts? or Jeannot could definitely bring in a bunch of draft picks/prospects.

Like mentioned, Forsberg/Josi arent going anywhere unless they want too.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Ekholm is a LD.

He's played on the right but never for more than a few games. He spent like 3 games on the right this year before they decided it would be better to put Josi there instead.

Irrelevant because Rielly, Brodie, and Giordano can all play both sides

 

[Scoresberg]

This.

I think we're now entering into a two or three year re-tool phase, so that we can build a competitive team around Forsberg, Josi and Saros one more time.

We're obviously looking at moving Granlund and at least one of Ekholm or McDonagh. I think Lankinen could also fetch a decent pick also.

Johansen and Duchene are immovable.

Jeannot fits the timeline so he's not going anywhere unless there's a boneheaded offer for him. Trenin might be, he went to arbitration last summer so things might not be that hot between him and the organization. Don't really understand the Fabbro trade talk, his value can't be high so why move a timeline-fitting, 24-year-old defenseman?

 

[tnnr]

What's the ask for Colton Sissons to PIT?

 

[elitepete]

Fabbro to Vancouver

Canucks have enough bottom pairing d

 

[BB88]

Should absolutely sell Saros.

Would get an incredible return

 

[Armourboy]

Canucks have enough bottom pairing d

Fabbro would be a solid #4 on most teams, heck he helped Josi have one of the best seasons in decades last year. It's not really his fault that Hynes is an idiot.

 

[Scoresberg]

What's the ask for Colton Sissons to PIT?

He's quite valuable for us, especially now with Joey's career in jeopardy. He's the only veteran center to shelter the kids.

Not sure on the cost but it would be much more than you probably would want to give up for Sissons. He's a lot more valuable for us than he would be for any other team. I wouldn't say this if Joey was healthy.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

You'd think Buffalo would have a conversation around Saros

 

[unicornpig]

I'd rather have Ekholm to be honest. Something around Ekholm with Petersen going the other way would be awesome. Not sure how LA swings that though. Maybe a starting point of Turcotte or Kupari and a first?

Anderson - Doughty
Ekholm - Durzi
Bjornfot - Roy

you do realize ekholm is 32, he gets no where near that package.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Fabbro and Saros
