Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2017-18

[DRW204]

They could have traded him for whatever was the best offer, however low and still re-signed him after the season. He is still a very effective player. There had to be some demand for him. Jets gave up a 4th for Joe Morrow for god's sake.

the Wings need SOME capable defenders. Kronwall probably LTIR'd, Green is the only strong PMD/offensive catalyst from the back end...not sure how prospects Hronek, Saarijarvi and Cholowski are progressing, followed the Jets way more this year than the Wings.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Full NMC. All that has come out through the media is that he approved deals to Tampa and Washington. Tampa was obviously busy acquring McDonagh. Washington is so close to cap even max retention would have been nowhere close to fitting him in.

Fair enough then.

In a weak market, you take what you can get.

Yeah, hard to say if there would have been a single firm offer on Comeau though. He's the guy teams would have moved onto after Maroon, and Maroon's deal didn't go through until the last second.

For this season? No. They don't need any hockey players this season. But, as almostawake reminded me, Green has a full NTC. Maybe he wasn't interested in cooperating.

Well Kane returned next to nothing, as has been stated, the Kane/Bogo trade just keeps looking better.

Only thing they can cling to is it lead directly to their tank for Eichel.

Some good stuff here.

Or what was hoped, their tank for McDavid. That didn't work out either.

Waited too long to move Kane. That being said I really think he could be a playoff factor for a team.

Reminiscent of Chevy's smirk after Calgary's card being revealed?

I don't think that team will be San Jose.

From buffalo boards below. Bit of schadenfreude reading sabres board.

"So basically Tyler Myers, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st returned us a 2nd round, a 4th round pick, a fringe NHL'er and an albatross contract in Bogosian. Awesome."

Wow that Bogosian contract has turned out to be pretty awful.

Their fans don't deserve it, but it goes to show that the 'right way' to rebuild can go really wrong in a lot of ways.

That is more on SJ imo.

Thanks. Lets meet in the playoffs and see if you hope we still do great.

Would love that. It would be terrible to crush your hopes and dreams though.

Rumor has it Malkin won't play the Jets unless Sestito is dressed???

Thanks for posting, didn't get to watch live

So are we looking to re-sign Stastny after this season?

Doubt it. No cap space, unless they trade a D for a young and cheap player.

 

[10Ducky10]

Trade Myers for some draft picks to replenish some of the ones we traded away. Also, he takes his 5.5m caphit with him.

 

[bustamente]

I think at this point in time Stastny is viewed as a pure rental, let the season play out and worry about this then
