Around the NHL: 2018-19 - Trade Deadline 2/25 2:00

Looks like Hayes is headed to Winnipeg

I'm ok with that because i would think that likely means they are not getting Stone

Frankly I think Hayes fits more what they needed than Stone does.

Yep, very ok with that. Works all around - glad we're aren't wasting assets on Hayes, not worried that he makes Winnipeg any better, glad to see Winnipeg give up assets, extra glad if they are not getting Stone.

I dont think he makes Winnipeg as good as Stastny did.

 

[triggrman]

Thank God. Did not want him.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

I dont think he makes Winnipeg as good as Stastny did.

His numbers are better than Stastny's were when traded, but Stastny clicked right away and fit them perfectly. Worth them rolling the dice on the same possible effect.

Yeah but he doesn't have Statsny's experience either.

 

[Armourboy]

Ok conditional is 4th rounder if Jets win the cup, so he goes for a 1st and a 4th liner.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I freely confess to not watching Hayes play this year. But there's something crafty and subtle about how Stastny can slide in and make players around him better, and my "sense" of Hayes is that he's just not a player on that scale. He might have good numbers this year, and good for him if he can cash in on those. But I guess we'll get a chance to see him a little more closely down the stretch and see anyway.

I dunno what it is but something tells me he is overhyped. Granted that may be because I think just about anyone that touches a NY team is overhyped.

Preds May Be Current Front Runner for Simmonds. per Eklund!!

 

[Armourboy]

I'd be more worried if it wasn't Eklund

 

[bdub24]

I love watching Simmonds when we aren't playing Philly. But unless we're sending McLeod and cutting ties with Watson, I'm not ok with him on the roster.

 

[Soundgarden]

I think, and hope, that our interest in Simmonds ended when we got Boyle.

PK not on ice for practice ... gone by 3?

That'd be great if the return is halfway decent. But would need to turn around around and get another 3/4 dman. PK package for Huberdeau please.

 

[LCPreds]

There is no way PK is getting traded today.

 

[101st_fan]

More likely sick or a maintenance morning for PK. If he is on the market it is the best kept secret in hockey.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

I'd be so excited if we offloaded PKs salary and got a cheaper number 4 and a ton of prospects .

That doesn't help you at the TDL.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

It does if we flip said assets .

If a key player on a 'good team' is traded, it's usually not in the media. See Weber/PK, Johansen/Jones, Horny/Neal, etc.

 

[LCPreds]

It does if we flip said assets .

Yeah we're going to trade PK for a bunch of assets and then flip them for something that will put us in a much better place than if we still had PK? In 2 hours? I doubt that.

Plus they would be dumb to trade PK when they still have a week left to sell people on locking in for 3 more years of full season tickets.

 

[RogerRoger]

Hoffman would be more likely. I haven't watch much of Subban this season, is there a reason why his production is way down?

 

[Cashville]

I've been a bit out of the loop on the TDL this season. What is general consensus on ask for Stone, if there is one? Off the cuff for a rental, I would have said 1st + blue chip prospect (e.g. Tolvanen) + throw-in picks/depth. Given depth of buyer pool, guessing it's higher here.
