Speculation: 2017 Trade Deadline Discussion - Part 2

[WpgBuffan]

Don't see how that makes much sense with Minnesota having pretty much no cap room.

I haven't looked at how much room they have but Arizona did retain 50%. Not sure if that gives them enough room though.

Better be for a defenseman. That's gotta be obvious right?....right?....

What if he does something centered around Kane and a 1st for Brodin and Ek?

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Why would any team look to Nilsson as the answer with his career numbers?

LA acquired Bishop so that don't need a backup anymore.

Well that's kinda why I said, "if at all"...

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Seeing the return Hanzal got has me feeling OK if Kane is moved. The fact Murray is demanding Sergachev for Kane from Montreal has me thinking that if Kane is moved we are getting back that young future top pairing dman in return.

 

[joshjull]

Fair enough

 

[jvirk]

How do we feel about Brodin?? Not saying it's gonna happen for sure but is Kane enough?

Bro....din

 

[CrazyPsycho]

After that trade minny isnt trading any D till the offseason

 

[Jame]

I wonder if Franson could be a part of this?

They've got Brodin playing his offside (right). With Suter, Oloffson, and Scandela on the left, and Spurgeon, Dumba, Brodin on the right.

Kane and Franson as the bones for Brodin ?

With retained salary it would work money wise.

Tbh I really don't know much about Ek :/

It would be very tight even if we retained 50% on both. Someone want to do the math for us.

Like it. Sabres would have to retain 50% on Franson. Maybe a little nugget on Kane.

 

[Snippit]

Brodin would be huge.

 

[flashsabre]

This would be a tricky trade to make after the Hanzel deal. I can't see Minny trading Brodin before the playoffs. Maybe if Kulikov or Franson are thrown in but then their is the cap so we would have to see some dead weight coming back.

Ek is a stud, I can't see Minny moving him. Maybe a Tuch or Greenway.

 

[Icicle]

Kane and Franson retained for Brodin

 

[jvirk]

Kane (25% retained) + Franson (50% retained) + 1st rounder 17' (or something else?)

for

Brodin + Ek/Tuch/Greenway

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Kane and Franson (8.6 mil cap hit)

for

Brodin and Pominville (9.8 mil cap hit)

Not saying I want Pominville back, but he does fit Gionta's role on the roster at a higher cost and two more years. Not proposing this, but that's one way to make it work right now.

 

[SundherDome]

Touch and Brodin would be a haul. But moving Kane isn't ideal

Pommer has a modified NTC/NMC. He submits a list of 20 teams he won't go to. I'd be surprised if Minny wants to open that can of worms right now.

IIRC he also has to be protected in the expansion draft.

 

[Havok89]

Pommer would never waive to come back. MIN taking a run at the cup this year.

MN has some space, but....

Kane makes 5.25M
Franson makes 3.325M

Brodin makes 4.17

They are also at 49/50 contracts

We have 2x 2nds

I'd imagine it'd be something like

Kane, Franson, 2nd. Retention likely on Kane

For

Brodin+a forward with some salary
