Speculation: Patrick Sharp trade

[Illinihockey]

So its clear Sharp is going to be gone in the next 10 days. Where do people think he's going and what do you think the Hawks get in return?

I think he ends up in Washington for pick 22 and maybe Connor Carrick or one of their defensive prospects.

Sharp to Washington for Wilson and a pick

 

[theaub]

Montreal for 26 and Minnesota's 2016 2nd.

 

[Taze em]

Washington, Florida, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Ottawa, Islanders, Sabres are the interested teams, IMO. Have them in order of likelihood.

I like that... Dump bickell and wilson gives us the big body and snarl for a much better price. The pick is icing on the cake.

It may happen yes, but I wouldn't say it's clear.

Washington is completely in love with Wilson. I don't think you get him.

I think Caps are big on Wilson, but I agree.... straight up, without the pick may work.

To
Patrick Sharp

To
Vincent Trocheck
Michael Downing
Yaroslav Kosov (Rights)

BTW Washington took Tom Wilson 1 pick ahead of Hertl and 2 picks ahead of Teravainen. Whoops!

Patrick Sharp is never playing another game in a Blackhawks jersey.

I don't think it's guaranteed it will be within 10 days, but if not by then it will be before training camp.

That may be so, but the Caps need to win now. Boris Badenov had Wilson stapled to the bench at the end of game 7 against the Rags.

What's cold about it? It's just a matter of facts.

Why would Sharp agree to waive his NTC for the Panthers?

Same reason Brian Campbell did

Same reason Brian Campbell did

Yup. They do they have potential too, they were hovering around the wildcard spots up until the very end of the season. They got a great young core (Barkov, Huberdeau etc) and a franchise D (Ekblad) to go along with McCoshen and Matheson.

You mean the same Brian Campbell who has reportedly been "open to a trade" for some time now?

400K more in take home pay the next two years with Florida having no state income tax as opposed to Illinois. Lot's of familiar faces...Tallon, Bolland, Pirri, Hayes, Campbell. Solid young team on the cusp of being a perennial playoff participant, especially with a good move or two this off season (Sharp acquisition for futures would seem enough to get them over the hump and solidly a playoff team with a little internal growth in some of their kids). Last, Sharp does not have a NTC, he has a modified NMC which generally means he can list 8-10 teams he can block a move to (teams like Arizona, Buffalo, Columbus, Carolina, and New Jersey are probably higher on that type of list and you can argue for several others to get to 8-10 before you get to Florida). Even if Florida is on his list...I would suspect it would be more a matter of having to come up with 8-10 names to submit then they being actually one he is adamantly opposed to going to.

Either Washington or Montreal. Either place would fit like a glove.

That plus familiarity with Tallon plus you get to live in Florida.

Some former teammates playing there, budding contender, ridiculously nice weather.

Every year I hear how it's a "budding contender" yet it never comes to fruition.

Pittsburgh, too - although do they have cap issues?
