Speculation: 2019 Trade Deadline

[Steve Yzerlland]

Because I think it is a waste of assets to improve our backup goalie? I don't think that Malcolm Subban is anything more than a decent backup, so why would I spend any draft capital or player capital acquiring him when we will not be contending for anything?



AA isn't getting benched for effort this year. Even when he was scoring ~18 goals a year, he was getting benched like every 5th or 6th game.

And AA fell to the 4th round because of run ins with coaches and perceived compete and hockey IQ questions.

Why do people act like there weren't actual concerns about AA? He's a fabulously talented player. He also doesn't get the max out of that talent. He seems to be playing more consistently aggressive this year.

I think Subban could be a starter and now is the time to get a goalie like him when he could be had for pennies on the dollar/ a player we don't want.

Personally I think the Jets are the best fit. They can use an upgrade on their 2nd line and Nyquist is the perfect player to jumpstart Laine.

Heard the Jets want Panarin.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

My first impression was Columbus got Duchene so they have a player and can now trade Panarin before TDL. I thought they might have a plan in place to sign Duschene and Parnarin is as good as gone. Same with Bob. Maybe they want Howard to replace him and Howard is conveniently sick tonight.

I hope you are right. Btw Holland looked so fat when he received his seadoo. Does he eat LC pizza between periods?

Columbus will only move Panarin if they get an offer that blows their socks off. What can the Jets send them that will do that and the Jets would be happy with?

I tend to think a first for Nyquist is almost under market value just because of the Columbus and Ottawa trade. In all likelihood that was a minus-2 in the top 5 forward market because Columbus was thought to be a seller, and ended up being a dark horse buyer.

Think about the teams linked to the forward market this year...Winnipeg, Nashville, Boston, Dallas, New York Islanders. I imagine that at the very lease two of them end up making a move, and Nyquist, in my eyes, is one of the two best options left. I could see multiple bidding wars taking place without a doubt.

Very little chatter on any of our vets. Getting worried.

We should shop green , we’d get a really good return back

I’m not worried about it. I don’t recall there being any talk of Tatar going to Vegas last year.

What leads you to believe that combination of things?

If he can reasonably be a starter, why would he be dealt for pennies or garbage?
If he could be picked up for garbage, what do you see in him that his .910 in backup time translates to even an above average starter?

I mean, at 25, Jimmy Howard played a good deal better on a roughly equivalent team. Subban isn't a super young goalie. I'd say by now, he's closer to "is what he is" than "has a bunch of untapped potential".

 

[A Few Good Males]

Jensen to WSH. Don’t know return yet

 

[ChadS]

Madison Bowey and a 2020 2nd.

Reverse jinx! Muahaha

 

[DInTheB]

Nice to see the Jensen deal get done early. Less potential distraction on deadline day.

 

[PullHard]

Now we just need to see Nyquist + Howard to Calgary or St. Louis

Sounds like Kenny is working hard to get deals done for Nyquist/Howard

I wish Gus wasn’t playing tonight if that is indeed the case.

 

[SCD]

Kind of funny that Columbus play in Ottawa tonight.

 

[Christien]

Frk isn’t playing tonight for the Griffins. Not sure if it’s some type of injury or illness.

EDIT: I guess he gets to sit tonight because of the veteran rule

Veteran scratch... AHL rule
