Rumor: Teams interested in Seattle selected goalies

[valente317]

Bishop, if healthy, would probably get them a better return than the alternatives of Mascherin or a couple of AHL guys.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Smart move by Seattle. There’s not a lot of supply and there’s a high demand for goalies. I think they’ll get some good returns trading them.

 

[Mike Jones]

Seattle should keep Vanecek, build around him and flip the others.

 

[Ace]

Maybe Buffalo finally figured out you need more than zero goalies and no one is lining up to sign there.

probably not though. They dumb.

 

[fasterthanlight]

They should take 7 goalies, just create chaos.

Take only goalies

 

[HabsAddict]

I live in TO and if Price was by some miracle to land in TO, I don't know what would happen to the city. The first thing they do is practice the parade route, the cup display and of course, nuclear level fireworks.

Only to lose to the Habs with some backup goalie in the first round.

 

[gstommylee]

Edmonton I would be shocked if they haven't asked Seattle about taking Vanacek or Kahkonen and what the price would be.

If we take those two we'll be keeping them not flipping them.

 

[Eggtimer]

I'll be shocked if they don't have Driedger, Vanacek and Kahkonen by the end of the day tmrw

Think they go Kahkonen over Soucy ?

 

[gstommylee]

Your world must be very grey indeed sir.

Thats the rules. The NMC come activated again the moment Seattle takes him.

 

[Mike Jones]

Isn't there a limit on how many they can take?

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Very Grey.

I live in Toronto too and my wife is a Habs fan and her favorite player is Price. Price to Toronto would make her head explode.

Think they go Kahkonen over Soucy ?

111%. Kahk is cheap too.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Think they go Kahkonen over Soucy ?

Yes as there are only 2 goalies like Vitek and Kahkonen. (Cheap and possible 1B) there are 6 to 7 other defenseman like Soucy. I am a big fan of Soucy but I take the goalie every time.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Driedger, Vanecek, Kahkonen, Daccord

Trade Vanecek to address other needs, the latter two are both waiver exempt which is a fairly ideal 2/3 situation.

 

[gstommylee]

Very Grey.

Read the CBA.

Have to agree with this... one of the things to remember with the expansion draft -- Seattle will take 30 NHL players, but they're going to have to lose at least 7 of them by opening night to hit a 23-man roster.

Very few, possibly none, of the expansion-eligible players are waiver-exempt.

Reality is, unless Seattle goes with Price, they're likely to end up in a tandem situation. Seems like Drieger is one of the guys, and I think you can make the case that he'd be best served with a veteran alongside him.

Goalies don't tend to have a ton of value on the trade market, but part of the reason for that is that goalies who have a year under their belt don't tend to get traded that often.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Yeah because two walking wounded, Just makes perfect sense for both clubs.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Buffalo has to be all over Kaapo Kahkonen, if he's selected from Minnesota. Definitely a great building block and someone we can just let go into the pipes. I'd love to see him in Buffalo next season if a deal can be made.

 

[rt]

This is why Arizona traded Hill for a 2nd. So Seattle couldn’t do the same thing.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Think they go Kahkonen over Soucy ?

111%. Kahk is cheap too.

Yes as there are only 2 goalies like Vitek and Kahkonen. (Cheap and possible 1B) there are 6 to 7 other defenseman like Soucy. I am a big fan of Soucy but I take the goalie every time.

Not to mention Kahkonen is waiver exempt and has 3 more years of RFA. Only goalie available that doesn't suck that can be put in the AHL until needed.

 

[featherhawk]

Think they go Kahkonen over Soucy ?

Most certainly IMO.

 

[rocketdan9]

Price to Boston and Rask to Montreal.

HA!

Whats next ...Bergeron and Marchand to Montreal? Nevvva!

 

[ted2019]

Flyers might have interest in a goalie.
