Rumor: 2019-2020 Trade Rumours and Free Agent Discussion Version 5.1 | Pre-Deadline Edition

[Cousin Eddie]

I don’t think I’m too “stingy” over prospects by any means, but if I’m Vancouver I wouldn’t trade Tyler Madden straight up for TT. Looks like he’s being moved along with a 2nd. That’s a big rental price for a secondary tier rental.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Do the Sharks not play during the next 7 days? Why last game?

Last home game. Next 4 on on the road through the TDL

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Saw that earlier. LOL.

[Anders Cain]

Saw that earlier. LOL.

Stahp with the price to Colorado shit ugh lol

 

[hughdreamz]

Woof, with these prices I would be fine not making any moves for rentals.

 

[Avs_19]

That's a lot.

 

[Balthazar]

Man it really is a seller's market. Holy crap.

 

[The Merchant]

Goddammit, Vancouver. You just couldn't have finalized that deal on Friday, could you?

 

[Avs9296]

I want JGP. That's all.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Christ Almighty with these rental prices... I hope Joe is VERY sleepy this trade deadline.

 

[Balthazar]

What is Benning doing though? Paying a top prospect and a 2nd for a rental? Does he think he's going to win the cup?

 

[RockLobster]

Who would be “our Tyler Madden”?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I honestly think Habs fans overrating of Price is by far the craziest player evaluation I've seen in an incredibly long time.


His contract is legitimately one of the worst in the league. Overr 10M for a goalie well past his prime and signed for 6 more years. It's actually laughable how bad a deal it is.

And meanwhile you have Habs fans who really do think they could get Byram + 1st ++ for him.


So out of touch with reality it's incredible.

 

[Mooserton]

Who would be “our Tyler Madden”?

Probably Timmins, Madden isn't their best prospect but he's up there.

They're the most delusional fanbase on here in terms of gauging their player's value IMO.

Alex Beaucage IMO.

 

[JH21]

I'm all for Price as long as they take EJ.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I’d say he’s better than Kaut and slightly below Bowers.

 

[Goulet17]

I don't think that is that great of a deal for LA. I don't think it is setting a seller's market.

 

[Foppa2118]

The pre deadline deals are always interesting. They're not always an indicator of deadline prices though.

Sometimes teams get steals by trading early. Other times teams give up way more than comparable players go for at the deadline.

When things get down to the wire, and time is a factor, things tend to change. All these teams making pre deadline deals means there may be fewer buyers at the deadline, which could drive prices down.

We've seen selling GM's be too patient and miss the deadline to move their player because of it. Nobody wants to be that guy, and sometimes that leads to GM's just taking one of the deals on the table.

Alex Beaucage IMO.

Yeah I'd say that or Ranta or Helleson. I think an equivalent offer would have been Jost, Ranta/Beaucage and a 2nd. I would have paid that easily.

 

[RockLobster]

I’d say all 3 of these answers are drastically different valuations

 

[Balthazar]

I’d say he’s better than Kaut and slightly below Bowers.

Higher than that.

Button had him #40 here just last month, on par with Nolan Foote and ahead of K'Andre Miller:

Russian players dominate top spots in TSN’s ranking of NHL-affiliated prospects - TSN.ca

Newhook didn't even make that list but his stocks raised a lot recently.

Timmins level sounds about right.

 

[Avsboy]

That's a high price to pay for Toffoli. The market looks ugly.

 

[chet1926]

I don't think that is that great of a deal for LA. I don't think it is setting a seller's market.

Agreed it's a pretty average return. Nothing too impressive or game changing.
