Speculation: Trade Rumors/Speculation Thread Part V: Zib-a-dabba-do

10. Ottawa and the New York Rangers talked about Michael Del Zotto. It was quickly determined there wasn't a match. Del Zotto's market value is a little low right now. But New York is determined to get a fair price for the guy, who twice led Rangers defencemen in scoring and averaged more than 20 minutes per game the last two seasons. I thought the Edmonton Oilers might be a potential destination. But that doesn't sound like a fit, either. They want size on the blue-line.

Just to show how stupid Edmonton is

11. I've always wondered how close Edmonton came to getting Ben Bishop, currently standing tall in Tampa Bay's goal. The Lightning got him from the Senators for Cory Conacher and a fourth-round pick. From what I understand, the Oilers offered a second-rounder, a third-rounder and Ryan Jones. The issue? That second-rounder was Anaheim's, which turned out to be 56th overall and Ottawa wanted Edmonton's original spot, which was 37th. It sounds like the deal fell apart when the Albertans wouldn't do it.

Look at Bishop now with TB. Edmonton is still searching for a goaltender.

maybe the Coyotes are trying to trade for Del Zotto.. one can hope but seriously maybe the Yotes are going to make a trade..

Maloney said yesterday no trade is imminent. They are filling from within the org, presser at noon.

 

[RGY]

I'm dying to know how you came to that conclusion.

Similar players. Girardi has produced more thus far point wise but his play has declined a bit. I say Girardi gets $4.75-$5. Speculation.

DZ for Gardiner.

Healthy scratch for healthy scratch.

 

[RGY]

Gardiner and a draft pick for Del Zotto?

Call up McIlrath.

See how it plays out. Possibly trade Girardi at the deadline for a top 6 forward?

 

[Ail]

Klesla?

Edmonton and Isles fans were crying all day yesterday in the trade forum about how their respective teams needed him.

Who would you like them to be replaced with?

The organization has deemed that Miller and Mashinter are the two best young options within the system right now. Miller needs to develop before hes an NHL player, and Mashinter simply isn't an NHL'er.

Lindberg, Kristo, Kantor, Hrivik? These guys wouldnt make a difference right now. Fast? We saw him here and he was totally overmatched. The roster situation is a problem like it always is. Its much better to come to terms with the fact there is no short-term solution to it. And the short-term solution CERTAINLY doesnt involve pulling up kids that aren't ready to play NHL hockey

It is a fine deal, but it does nothing to help our forward group.

Gardiner is a RFA at seasons end.

I'm going to run that trade by some Leaf fans and see if I can learn some new curse words.

He's an RFA, but coming off his ELC. Non-arb eligible. He will be cheaper to re-sign than MDZ. Yeah, he doesn't help our forward group, but it's not like we couldn't use a guy to play the right side on defense.

Edit: I take that back. I think he will be arbitration eligible, but he should still be cheaper to re-sign.

He will be arbitration eligble. Signed his contract at 21.

Gardiner has four seasons until UFA eligibility. Del Zotto two.
