Speculation: 2 weeks to deadline, predict where players land

[WingsMJN2965]

Tavares: Leafs

Hoffman:Leafs
Pacioretty: Leafs
Grabner: Leafs
Vanek: Leafs
Nash:Leafs
Zuccarello: Leafs
McDonagh:Leafs

Pageau
Cole:Leafs

Plekanec:Leafs
J. Johnson:Leafs
Gudbranson:Leafs

Pfft. This is for the trade deadline, not UFA day!

 

[Mortiest Morty]

Nash to the Preds? Cant see that happens. What can Rick do for the Predator? He is slow, old, and not realy good. I am shocked if Poile do that.

You clearly haven't watched Nash play. He isn't slow and he's definitely a good player. There are two players on the Preds with more goals than Nash, and that's it. Same for last season, 2 Preds had more goals than Nash. He's great on the PK, good defensively and he's great as a net front player. He could do plenty for the Preds or any other team.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

I see a lot of people put Leivo would be acquired through waivers? That’s not happening, the Leafs don’t give away decent assets for free

 

[AmeriHab]

Predict the destinations for the following players:

Tavares:
Kane:
Green:
Maroon:
Hoffman:
Pacioretty:
Grabner:
Vanek:
Nash:
Zuccarello:
McDonagh:
Z. Smith:
Brassard:
Letestu:
Pageau:
Cole:
Jenner:
Leivo:
Plekanec:
J. Johnson:
Gudbranson:

Feel free to add other players that were left off the list.

Out of that list, not picking where they go, just who is going to go first and when? The first to move will set the market and further activity. Most of the bigger deals happen before deadline day anyway.

Who's first??? I'm going to guess Nash or Plekanec - both true rentals. The Rags will for sure move him, Habs are on a road trip where they may just leave Pleky out west

Except it’s actually only funny when it’s all leafs.
Ask Dreger

Don’t be so sensitive next time.

 

[CraigsList]

I was thinking of Gunnarsson, my bad.

 

[Dipietro39]

For those saying J. Johnson to NYI, Snow has already come out and said he isn't trading for rentals and why would CBUS help a team they are fighting with for a playoff spot?

Whatever you think

Nice Try.

That might be the funniest thing I've read on HFboards

 

[67Blues]

I was thinking of Gunnarsson, my bad.

You had me looking all over to see if I missed a trade With the injury to Eddy being out for at least 6 weeks, Gunnarsson becomes too valuable to trade during the season. He'll most likely be moved at the draft.

I know Rick have Fans out there. but i see no Fit if he Comes to the Preds.

Sorry for my English. Ist only my Opinion an I hope that dont happens.

Nash is not slow. Big players often look slow because they take fewer strides, while tiny players look faster because they take more.

Nash is still a good player, plays a two way game, and would be relatively cheap to acquire (I think?). He would fit in well on NSH, and would make them even more of a favorite coming out of the West.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

I don't know why this statement is here but it needs to stop being said without context.

The pens traded pick #31 and Sundqvist (a player who might become a bottom six player) for pick #51 and Reaves (a bottom six regular in the NHL). Something they identified as a need.

Additionally, Sundqvist is absolutely terrible. He’s only played in 30 of STL’s games and has 3 assists. Reaves actually contributes on the ice and is a monster in his role. I’m still not thrilled we traded away our first in a deal for him, but honestly unless Kostin becomes a stud, I think Pitt wins this deal. 10/10 teams would prefer Reaves over Sundqvist, so it just comes down to who develops better between the draft picks Kostin and Lauzon.

As for the actual thread,

Brassard: Pitt
Cole: Pitt
McDonaugh: Tampa
Nash: Preds
Green: Caps

It wasn't funny in either case.
