Guentzel talks intensifying as trade market spices up — The Fourth Period

As Jake Guentzel trade talks heat up, David Pagnotta offers updates on that and the rest of the NHL with the trade deadline fast approaching.

Getting Hanifin signed and shipping out Cirelli would be a good move. It's pretty clear at this point Cirelli isn't good enough offensively to be a 2nd line center and 6.25M is way too much for a third liner. Hanifin would probably solve a lot of our defensive woes.

Still very much doubt they would trade Cirelli but I'm all on board for shipping him out for Hanifin.

Would have liked to see Tara signed in the off season, not sure why he picked Ottawa tbh. Cats have a decent top 6

Couldn't do 5M

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Vladdy to Florida? I guess that helps. I don't see how they're going to get him enough ice time to really be impactful in the playoffs if they're not moving another body out, but I guess when its between Vladdy and Nick Cousins its a bit of a no brainer.

If trading Cirelli means that we can re-sign Stamkos (at a reasonable cost) and aquire a FA that is offensively competent it might work.

Steal for Florida. Maybe they are still in on Hanifin?

 

[Zwui21]

Wow that's a low price to pay, not bad

 

[Zwui21]

If those are the asking prices in Ottawa, JBB take the phone and trade for Kubalik.

He's not been good in Ottawa, a change of scenery could do him good and he has the potential to be a good middle six (with top 6 upside) wing. Test him out for the reminder of the season, extend him if he gels. Little risk, decent potential reward.

Edit: oh, forgot Senko had a NTC so he might have forced his way there. Hence the low return

 

[RussianGuyovich]

it's always a buyers market until JBB shows up

Not a fan of Hanifin. I read some praise about him and don't know why, but that trade would be perfect for us. Sadly, Cirelli become expensive and doesn't worth that contract, is a win-win situation for both teams and of course I also send Perbix and try to get a pick or something more.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Man, Florida kept all their top assets and got retention. If you're the Lightning and you really like Hanifin, the pressure just picked up big time to not let him go to Florida. If they get him as well....forget it.

 

[Felonious Python]

Tarasenko has a full NTC, so that may have been a factor.

it's always a buyers market until JBB shows up

That's why we normally buy early. It screws all the other contenders up.

 

[NatoGhost]

That won't win us the cup in 2024

No but Serg is on LTIR so we have cap this year. People saying giving Serg or Cirelli back the other way otherwise we lose Stamkos. Not necessarily because we could make trades agter the season ends and make an off-season trade of Cirelli (or a healthy(healthier at least) Sergachev) if JBB wants to.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Tank would have been nice for the second or third line here. Probably only wanted to go to Florida. The ghost of Dorion still making trades for Ottawa.

 

[T REX]

Panthers will be tough to beat.

Unless Vasy wakes up suddenly...don't see any iteration of this team beating them. Hanafin doesn't help us 5v5(which we are terrible).

Circle of life.

 

[These Are The Days]

I would have been fine with Tank and Kubalik coming back at the expense of Cirelli. Good to know my dumb ass way overpaid and I am unfit to be a GM

Buyer beware: Analyzing 5 players to avoid at the NHL trade deadline

 

[LightningStrikes]

We should try and trade back for Killorn with salary retained. Solves a lot of problems and he was obviously the real leader in the locker room.

And most importantly we get back our favorite drinking game (drink when 17 falls down).

 

[Felonious Python]

Frank Seravalli: I think it’s a limited market, I mean the speed is always a factor and teams are always interested in that. But it’s been a tough go this season for Duclair and I think he would be one of the first to acknowledge that. The fact he has gotten up to 16 goals and is closing in on the 20-goal threshold, probably what you’re looking at is a return not all that different that you just ended up seeing Florida pay for Vladimir Tarasenko in terms of what goes back.

 

[The Gongshow]

No first round picks dealt yet. Wish we had home draft capital this year. There's quote a few interesting names floating around this TDL and some big fish to catch too. With the unfortunate Serg injury this year could have been a good yesr to capitalize. Unfortunately we're boned, mostly because of our cap and terrible bloated contracts

 

[Hockeyville USA]

I thought Guentzel would have been traded by now...

The talk was that he'll probably go tonight.

Things are happening.

I like the Henrique singing. Still need to see the price.
