Speculation: 2019 Trade Deadline

[Claypool]

I think Howard isn't in good enough shape to play upwards of 60 games. He's too chunky now.

 

[Larkin2AA]

I think Howard knew he was getting traded so he started to play bad on purpose

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Nyquist and Jensen should be as good as gone. I'd try to move Glendening too. (Paging Mike Babcock)

If someone offers you a first or a really good prospect for Howard you do it. I'd even do it for a 2nd as I think he'd sign back here even if traded.

Since Ericsson has been keeping the press box warm lately, I'd see if anyone wants to take him off our hands and if not maybe we can get something good for Daley although he's probably more likely to move next year as a rental.

Moving Helm is just wishful thinking unless we eat some money or I really underestimated the stupidity of GMs.

Helm is fine, and is not a cap dump!

 

[Winger98]

Hagelin just got dealt. Have to believe the big names will probably go on Monday, but teams seem pretty cautious right now in what they acquire.

 

[SCD]

Columbus is still a possibility for Howard depending on what happens with Bob.

 

[raymond23]

Really hoping the league doesn't dissappoint this deadline. There is some major talent in play.

Unless we can get sumthin really good for Jensen - I'd just assume keep him...He's been surprisingly good for us.

As for Gus...Meh.

Moving Ericsson is wishful thinking incarnate. Who wants a 4.25 million dollar stick in the mud turn over machine? We'd have to retain all his salary and throw in a 3rd just to get teams interested. And I would really, really consider it. And that's getting zero in return.

Max Bultman was on the Winged Wheel Podcast and he dropped a little nugget that when we had two scouts at the Vegas/Avs game, it wasn’t actually scouts but it was two people in Ken’s circle. Obviously that adds a layer of intrigue.

My thought is that Malcolm Subban played for Vegas that night. Considering our needs in net moving forward, maybe we are looking at him as a lower cost feeler?

[TCNorthstars]

Crazy idea. Ho-Sang + 2nd for Nyquist?

 

[FMichael]

Crazy idea. Ho-Sang + 2nd for Nyquist?

Not really crazy at all...I recall hearing on NHL Sirius radio how Ho-Sang really needs a new opportunity elsewhere since he's sorta done for the Isles, and apparently it's been rumored that he's open for getting moved.

Could the NYI use Gus? Possibly.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Crazy idea. Ho-Sang + 2nd for Nyquist?

Very crazy.

I'd be willing to bet the Wings don't want any part of Josh Ho-Sang. They had their own erstwhile winger who struggled with in game consistency and apparent attitude issues. They've got him mostly toeing the line now, but I don't think they want to bring in another project for Blash to "fix"

This just seems like one of the trades that would work better in NHL 19 where you can control what Ho-Sang does and then you're just left with his higher than average skill level.

 

[PullHard]

don't need Ho Sang

2nd+ is an alright base, though

Would prefer a 1st straight across

What they have done to turn AA around is one of the reasons I might take the chance on Ho-Sang. Anywho, it was just an out of the box thought instead of the same old same old.

I don't think a 1st straight across is going to happen.

Oh, I understand it. I'm just not super high on Ho-Sang. I don't think he'll end up being worth the headache of the transition.

 

[PullHard]

I don't think so either, which is why I said 2nd+ is a strong base for an offer

I doubt its Subban. I would bet mostly that theyve alked to Vegas about someone as a rental or hockey trade becaue Vegas still has a lot of assets. I did read that the Avs were shopping Tyson Barrie around though. Hes only 27 and a legit top pairing puck mover. I could see the wings having interest in him.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Nope.

Why not for cheap? He is better than Bernier and a lot younger...

Lol. "turn AA around". Every skill player that doesn't put up numbers right away gets labeled with an "attitude issue". 22 goals, nearly 40 pts in 55 games and poof, no perceived "attitude". Give me Ho-Sang and his attitude.

We'll see how 'turned around' AA is at the end of 19/20 when his second arbitration takes place.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Looks like Duchene might be on his way to Columbus

Is he somehow magically going to arbitration this year?
