Eklund Rumor: New Jersey interested in Gaudreau

[SeanMoneyHands]

I bet it's Philly or Buffalo, maybe NYR as a long shot.

Report: Eastern Conference Team Trying To Trade For Johnny Gaudreau.

If true, the Flames are a better team with Hall than Johnny.

I don’t think it’s NYR. Possibly the Islanders since they need some scoring. Your link says NJD but if I was NJ I’d try and add some size to that forward corps not bring in another small player [MOD]

Allow me to disagree.
I firmly believe that Hall is the biggest demotivating player in the league.
Everywhere he has gone, he has brought the team down.

 

[Bounces R Way]

My 8th grade report on Y2K was better sourced and made stronger conclusions.

If true, the Flames are a better team with Hall than Johnny.

Are they really though?

 

[CraigsList]

Nice title, apparently it's New Jersey, lol.

And no, the Flames are not a better team with Hall over Gaudreau, they're pretty much the same value and put up roughly the same amount of points. It would be a lateral move, but that is fine because we are getting picks. A lot relies on Hall signing in Calgary though.

 

[RememberTheName]

I feel like NJ does make sense, although that would make like 5 of our top 6 players 5'11" or below and one of our biggest concerns is size. We would have Bratt, Gusev, Hughes, Gaudreau, and Palmieri standing at 5'11" or below, and I am not sure that would be the way to build a winning team.

 

[BB06]

If Hall signs with Calgary I’d retool the shit out of them.

Move Gaudreau for assets

Assets acquired in Gaudeeau+Monahan for Eichel


Hall-Eichel
Tkachuck-Lindholm

would be a sick base for building a good top 6.

What do you plan on getting for Gaudreau?

Acquiring Eichel would not be easy whatsoever.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Hall and Gaudreau are a wash IMO, would rather keep Johnny but that’s just me.

Could be that one of Bratt, Goose, or Palms would be going to Calgary so Gaudreau would just be replacing them.

Probably a 1st+Prospect+Roster player. You don't think

Monahan+1st+prospect+Roster winger for Eichel would get it done? This is ofc assuming Eichel gets traded which I doubt he does.

Is that winger tkachuk?

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Eklund? Flyers.

 

[Fjordy]

I see how Botterill trade Reinhart+ for Gaudreau, then doesn’t even look for 2C and signs some RW in free agency. He is in agony.

They are even better with both

 

[CraigsList]

Well, many NJ fans want to keep Palms, plus, I don't think he would waive to Calgary. The other two mentioned are smallish wingers, but they'd be a decent fit as a middle 6 winger in Calgary. I know Gusev received a lot of flack from NJ fans originally, but it seemed like he was starting to really light it up before the break. Same as Bratt. Which one would NJ be willing to part with more? I like both of them, but it depends on your view of Gusev I suppose. Would he re-sign in New Jersey? Would Bratt be the better long term option for the rebuilding team, even though he may be the lesser valued player in comparison to Gusev?

 

[CraigsList]

Well, we obviously want to retain both, but our defense gets pretty suspect without any cap space to sign some D. We also have an up-and-coming Mangiapane to sign. He should cost 2-3m depending on term.

Hall-Eichel

Hall - Eichel - Tkatchuk would be a sick top line.

Just imagine the rivalry with Edmonton, Hall returning to Alberta, Eichel vs McDavid, Tkatchuk being Tkatchuk.

They gotta do this now and I don't accept anything else lol

 

[IPS]

The Islanders should be all over this. Move whoever you need to move to make it work.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

IF He ever became available Buffalo should be all over this, they have to give Eichel something to work with he wouldn't be enough but he'd be a start

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

If he lands in Buffalo, Eichel isn't the guy going the other way. You can build that out, but this would be the deal they make to figure that out. Man that Skinner deal hurts them. But Cozens, their first this year and some roster pieces for Johnny Hockey would be bold. It would be a big gamble by Buffalo, but Eichel couldn't be upset that they took that kind of crack, especially since they have been money together in the brief times they have lined up. Maybe Risto is the roster player and Calgary really does some makeovers by dealing a big d-man.

I don't know this has a lot of sliding pieces. But I don't think Buffalo deals Eichel yet, sorry I know that is all Flames fans will do here, but I just don't see that happening even with Johnny Hockey involved and trying to build more pieces. They are going to try something else and I believe he won't ask out just yet, this would be their last swing with him though so I would hope it works out with Sabres fans because if it falls flat in a couple years I do think he would be asking out.

Monahan+1st+prospect+Roster winger for Eichel would get it done? This is ofc assuming Eichel gets traded which I doubt he does.

No, I dont think that gets it done.

Why doesnt that said team just throw in a Monahan type player and get Eichel themselves? Either way, insufficient value.

It would be hard to give up either one but Goose is probably more suited for a playoff team and Bratt for a rebuilding team. Bratt is still a little raw and Goose has been playing at a high level for a while now.

I think Hall lands in NYI unless Gaudreau is moved

Base for Eichel is JG&SM+
