The big 4...

Doughty - Kings (for now...)
Karlsson - Senators (until June/July)
OEL - Arizona (for now...)
McDonagh - Tampa Bay

 

[Zats Muccarello]

As far as the Rangers go:

Grabner: Blues
Nash: Preds
Zuccarello: Rangers
McDonagh: Rangers

I don't think the Rangers will pull the trigger on a McD trade unless the return is an absurd over-payment which given the teams interested is unlikely. Grabner will likely get a 2nd + B- level prospect and Nash will likely get a 1st + B/B+ prospect. Can't imagine Zucc is moved at the TDL.

I'm being boring. Think it'll mostly be players on expiring deals and guys with more term will be dealt in the offseason

Agreed on all except McD...too much smoke around him right now for there to not be something brewing. Rangers management issuing that statement, scratched for a "nagging injury" that he was clearly playing through, other various reports...and just my own 2 cents, players like him don't pop up too often on the trade block. Maybe Yzerman doesn't pay the price, but I think someone will. Teams don't often get the chance to improve their rosters this much in one trade, and we've seen plenty of GM's willing to sacrifice their futures for far less impact players than McD. Going to guess the obvious, that TB and Boston are the front-runners, but there HAS to be more than 2 teams talking with the Rangers...my dark horses Edmonton, Colorado, or Vancouver. Young and/or under achieving teams with lineups that could greatly benefit from adding a player like McD both now, and for the future.

Again, just my guess. Not trying to stir the pot...

 

[The Note in MI]

So far we have 1 vote for each of Pacioretty, Kane, Grabner, Zucarello, Tatar, McDonagh.

Interesting.

 

[LAKings88]

Can’t see an aging LA team looking to pay the cost of a top UFA without a guarantee of a contract extension.

Vilardi/Clague/ #1 should not be included for any rental.

Leivo: Edmonton
Plekanec: Toronto (I'm hoping)
J. Johnson: Winnipeg
Gudbranson: No where

 

[go4hockey]

I see lots of Kane to LA. The Kings better not be moving the type of assets it would take to bring Kane. We cannot move top prospects or picks for any rental or player that can’t be part of the team long term.

Man that would be one killer team, Too bad you can't put 30 players on the ice at one time.

They’re not at any risk of being traded.

Going to be another boring trade deadline. Gets worse every year. I used to watch it and never leave the couch. Now I could care less. Biggest trade will probably be Maroon who can't even skate.

Tampa is getting McDonagh, Johnson and Gudbranson? Guess Sergachev is going to the minors?
