Speculation: 2018-2019 Trade Deadline

[Fabiobest]

If Panarin is available right now, does anybody think we could go for him?

I don't think BB and the Bolts will try to acquire him.
Imho, we'll do not so much before the deadline...maybe one trade to acquire Ferland or Simmonds...maybe...MAYBE...
But it's possible that we'll do nothing special.
I've read, also, that Panarin is included is a big trade, with Bobrovsky...

I love Glendening. He'd be a nice add.

For me personally, if we're not adding grit (Simmonds, Ferland, McQuaid) then I only want home run swings like Stone or Panarin.

Either go all in or don't go at all.

wat is glendening going to add? hes a center he plays nice physical game so guess we can add replace erne but why?

Because he's better than Erne? Playoff tested. Fantastic defensively.

Ideal 4th line IMO.

not right now maybe in the summer

Sounds like things will heat up for Stone and Duchean across the league. Mane Stone would be awesome.

Stone is the guy I'd want more than anyone. But, given the kind of bidding war that could start, not to mention Melnyk/Atlantic, it seems more than unlikely.

 

[Rschmitz]

He's a defensive powerhouse shutting down opposing top players (we had to experience that ourselves) plus he's super good at faceoffs. While we're not trash at faceoffs anymore this season, last season a big problem was winning faceoffs in the playoffs. It resulted in a lot more time in our own zone and we've seen even this season that once we get crushed in our zone, clearing and exiting the zone is not our forte. Glendening would improve that in both defensive play and in the faceoff circle.

Consider him an early Paquette replacement who will ask for a raise after the season anyway and could cost us around $2M then.

I think they'd just keep Paquette

I think he's much better defensively than Paquette, which is what I'd want from my 4th line, but I don't think the team is in a rush to mess with the 4th line.

Yeah, hard not to think about Cally with this. But I think we'd rather call them up in the off-season. Next year is the year they'll truly tank, minus Stone and Duchene, and might even need help getting to the floor. Not sure Cally will waive, mind you. Maybe if we tell him the alternative is a buyout, which, if he gets another contract at league minimum, loses him money I think.

I'd think that with a year left, a buyout is maybe just a better move if it takes added assets to move him. Cap hits of 2.6 and 1.56 in the next two years. 1.56m in 2020-21 shouldn't be much cap.

We need every $

Panarin, Stattenkirk, Simmonds, Ferland, Ceci. Apparently we're trying to get all of em

I don't think Carolina is selling Ferland anymore

Things are going so well right now in so many areas with franchise records being broken left and right, outstanding team chemistry with players buying into fricking rotations. I'd hate things to be thrown off by adding another piece just for the sake of doing 'something'. We are already have a better Stamkos than last season, Cernak as a solid RHD addition, Joseph and Cirelli being dominant pieces. And anything other than a pure rental will affect our ability to resign crucial players under the cap.

I may be one of the few with this opinion, but I'd rather see no moves at the TDL. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But, but, but, what if we could trade Girardi and 3 draft picks for Eric Karlsson?

Why are there so many rumors about Tampa these days? Miss when it was a complete ghost town til it already happened.

Speculation because the deadline is close.

Yea. It, it seems crazy that this year Tampa is 'in' on every single decent player.

[DistantThunderRep]

Still standing by Ferland and TMFVR or bust. I love Ferland's game especially for the playoffs. Our bastion of light and all things holy, TMFVR is icing on the cake.

 

[Rschmitz]

Our organizational depth really makes it hard to find the sense in dealing for complimentary players. Very hard. I think something that isn't factored into these play deals is the locker room fracture they cause. Marginal upgrades at the cost of team identity just aren't worth it.

 

[Perratrooper]

Saw that you guys (the team not sure about the fans) were interested in Shattenkirk. I was wondering if you guys would consider Barrie at 50% retained (2.75mil for 1.25 more years)? And if so, what would you give up?
