Rumor: 2021-22 Trade Rumours and FA Part III: Should we trade Girard or not ? Part 99

[dahrougem2]

I doubt Lindholm gets moved. If anything, they probably try to re-sign him and move their other UFAs.

 

[Ararana]

Just a friendly reminder Sakic probably won't do anything anyone likes at the deadline

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I doubt Lindholm gets moved. If anything, they probably try to re-sign him and move their other UFAs.

Think it depends on how things go for them over the next 2 months. They keep falling off and I bet they unload their UFAs. They can always resign him in the offseason even if they trade him away.

The issue with that is term. We know players get hung up on term all the time and whoever has Lindholm can offer him that lucrative 8th year taking him to 36 instead of only 7 year possibility as a UFA to get to 35.

Might not mean much to us, but that could be the difference between millions of dollars.

I forget if it was Friedman or Seravalli but one of them said Anaheim knows they probably won’t be able to extend Lindholm.

Well then come on down pal we've got a spot for ya on the 2nd pairing.

He would help the teams defensive presence and PK so much, also fits in since he's got a nice long injury history.

Oh, this is 100% what I'm expecting to happen. Holden and Pickard with the outside chance of Nieto or Namestnikov.

Blackhawks wide open for business — The Fourth Period

Fleury will dictate his future and is expected to have a conversation with his agent and management some time next month. The Colorado Avalanche are believed to have interest in Fleury, should the Hawks move him.

 

[Ararana]

Oh, this is 100% what I'm expecting to happen. Holden and Pickard with the outside chance of Nieto or Namestnikov.

I'll admit if either of Fluery or Giroux decide Colorado is where they want to be, I can see it happening. But that's mainly because the player is going to have a big say in where they go and that will control the price.

Outside of those two, deadline day just isn't Sakic's thing. I need to see it to believe it.

 

[Murzu]

Pavs an Av yet?

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

Pavs Nieto an Av yet?

FIFY.
That's the big move.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Pavs an Av yet?

Jeff Marek floated him out as a great fit for the Avs today

Jeff Marek floated him out as a great fit for the Avs today

He would be the ultimate fit. The Avs have been doing a remarkable job of stepping up and getting to the net front area in the absence of guys like Saad and Donskoi, but they still don't have a true natural in that area, and Pavelski is probably the best net-front guy in the entire league. NO ONE would be able to stop the power play, not to mention they'd be able to start with the puck virtually every single time because he would win every faceoff.

And this is all coming from someone who can't stand Joe Pavelski.

I don't see it happening though.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

There's no way he's heard anything because this is the time of year that Sakic plays groundhog.
If he sees his shadow, no big acquisition. No shadow....no big acquisition.

I'd like a Pavs deal or possibly JTM/Giroux, don't get me wrong. I just want it to be in a deal where the juice is worth the squeeze.

 

[Balthazar]

Blackhawks wide open for business — The Fourth Period

Not that it will happen with the way Kuemper is playing lately but it would be a such major failure to spend assets on another pending UFA goalie at the deadline. Yikes.

 

[dahrougem2]

Wasn't Joe Pavelski to the Avalanche close when he was a UFA but he chose Dallas?

Remember, if/when available the Avs always get their guy...

Would they actually use him in front of the net? Seems like 99% of the time they don't have anyone in front of the net on the PP.

 

[Balthazar]

EJ is ready for Pavs (they are friends I believe)

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

At this point the Avs are going to trade for everyone.


On March 21st, we will have traded for Joe Pavelski, Claude Giroux, JT Miller, MAF, and Hampus Lindholm.



And our team will look like this:


Landy - Mack - Mikko
Guroux - Kadri - Burakovsky
Nuke - Miller - Pavelski
LOC - Newhook - NAK

Toews - Makar
Lindholm - Girard
Byram - EJ


MAF
Kuemper
Francouz



You heard it here first.

We trade or bench MacD? f*** YOU!

I'm guessing MAF

Will suck to have no picks or prospects for the next ten years but that's a good looking lineup.

They prefer to have someone serve as the bumper to rove around as needed, but I imagine they'd make a change there since Pavs' bread and butter is in the slot. Whenever they use Nuke on the power play, he usually just sits right in front of the goalie.
