2019 Trade Deadline Feb 25

[Lunatik]

It's what happens when you have a guy more suited for a depth winger position playing 1C.

very true

 

[FlamerForLife]

Minnesota is starting their sell-off, I wonder what it would take to get Staal from them

 

[Calculon]

And it begins.

Genuinely surprised the Wild traded Coyle.

More stuff potentially happening:


Ediy: Beginning to think Fenton is not a very good GM...

 

[Mobiandi]

Bad return

 

[Lunatik]

keep in mind that Coyle is having a pretty shitty year.

 

[Volica]

Good grief, Brad, go take advantage of Fenton hardcore. Staal for a song.

 

[DCDM]

I wish I could like this more than once

 

[Mobiandi]

A lot of speculation on twitter about Nashville pushing hard for Duchene

 

[Sparky93]

Wow! Hard to believe that was the best offer for Coyle, even on a down year.

 

[Mobiandi]

Good grief, Brad, go take advantage of Fenton hardcore. Staal for a song.

Staal has a 10 team no-trade list and I'd bet Bill Peters and Calgary are at the top of the list

 

[Sparky93]

Dubnyk (50% retained) for 1st, Smith + Lazar

 

[tmurfin]

Dubnyk (50% retained) for 1st, Smith + Lazar

Imo someone would pay a similar package for Dubnyk at full price. That being said, I’d have a real hard time hitching our wagon to another aging goalie

 

[Mobiandi]

 

[crackdown44]

Does this not feel sloppy to anyone else? Saying they’re waiving Jaskin then switching to DSP. Analysts announcing the trade a full day ahead

Even Coyle being told he was traded but not given the destination right away. I know they’re professionals and can handle it but it’s been weird so far

 

[CamPopplestone]

Coyle may be having a down season, but they didn't exactly get a blue chipper for him. I'd have kept him. He's signed next year on a modest hit. They could get more next year as a rental than this

And we won't get Staal. He doesn't want to leave Minnesota, so it's heavily speculated he put all top contenders as his 10 team no trade, the teams who would actually give assets for him as a rental

 

[The Gnome]

I cannot believe Coyle went that cheap, where the f*** was Tre?

 

[MonyontheMoney]

I cannot believe Coyle went that cheap, where the **** was Tre?

Hopefully working on bringing in better upgrades than Coyle.

 

[DCDM]

Eh, I wanted Coyle too but I wouldn't blame Fenton if he wanted to not help out a Western rival. Granted, I think we could have put together some better than Donato + 5th but you can only control so much.

It was a very modest price. However this tells me Tre is likely setting his sights on better targets.

 

[Kranix]

You know who would be a good add. Chris Kreider.

 

[Lunatik]

I'd love to add Kreider

There are few true buyers this year. Winnipeg and Nashville are fighting for pieces of the 2 largest. Panarin is anybodies guess and Bob has done nothing to help his or Columbus' situation out. Toronto and Tampa are looking at a couple of d-men and other than that it leaves the Flames and Sharks which neither appears to be big on the trade chatter. St Louis could be a surprise darkhorse in the big fish hunting with how hot they are.

And of all the teams you mentioned, only the Flames, Jets and Predstor have 1st round picks they can move (in '19)

 

[Kranix]

Big, hostile, scores. He'd be very expensive to acquire I'd imagine.

Where is he going to play? The 2nd line either has Frolik or Tkachuck on it and the third line is Bennett? (And this line has been on fire since the addition of Lindholm.) Do you think Tre is going to get Krieder for the 4th line?
