Around the NHL (Part XV): Dupuis out 6 months (At least) with blood clot

[hisgirlfriday]

I dunno, where have you been?

And I just looked it up but it looks like Gaborik actually came back Nov. 2.

Now you tell me what is going on with Varlamov and why he was a scratch and they have some goalie named Pickard playing for the Avs. Is he hurt?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Byfuglien is the perfect solution to our major cap troubles. Sharp or Seabrook are the guys out the door, right? Byfuglien could conceivably fill in either spot and allow Stan to take the best deal rather than telegraphing the trade like he had to do this summer with Leddy.

Also, You get rid of Bickell and replace with Buff. Upgrade. Also, you could get a little retention on Buff if you sweeten the pot. I think it could happen.

You give Winnipeg a 1st + good piece or 2 and then 1 of Buff, Sharp, Seabrook leave this summer and you will more than likely get a 1st back in that deal so it's kind of a zero sum deal.

It's always been overkill to have to trade Sharp or Seabrook this offseason, it leaves us with a little more cap space then we'd need. Going from Bickell to Buff is the way to go IMO.

You're offering a pair of bit pieces and a late first. Not only are you dumping Bickell but you want them to retain money?

Nah, they'd be separate deals. One I'd guess for Bickell + Morin/Clendening/something for stuff, and then a WPG trade for a 1st+. Buff has started the season badly, but he still gets some good stuff.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

What would you realistically expect back for Bickell Morin and Clendenning? That's two forward roster spots somewhere.

Bickell +Clendening =2/3rd rounder
Bickell+Morin=3rd rounder.

If you're talking about players, the offer from Florida fans is Bickell, Morin. 3rd for Kopecky/Shore. I'd make it a second and get 50% retained on Kopecky, then you have 3.5-4 in space +your TDL cap space to go get a pretty big time player like Byfuglien or Ladd or some other UFA wing like Jagr/Stafford/Vermeer/ward to fill in that Bickell spot.

 

[Taze em]

So your roster looks like this:
Sharp Toews Hossa
Saad Richards Kane
Buff(or someone else) Shaw Versteeg
Kopecky Kruger Smith

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Kopecky rosters are always DHF approved.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seguin with goals #16 and #17 tonight

Bruins top 4 goal scorers have 17 combined goals

I didn't think that trade would turn out being such a disaster. But apparently the trade was wake up call Seguin needed to take his game to next level

What the hey?

And I don't know about Varly. Maybe hurt?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Wake up call or Boston moving a kid with a ton of talent way too early.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Preds and Blues both in three point games.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I really like that Florida offer. I'd even be fine with making the 3rd a 2nd without Florida retaining any of Kopecky's salary. But the Hawks don't need to be going after Buff or Ladd.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Preds and Blues both in three point games.

Annoyed I rooted for the Kings to force a shootout when they couldn't take the 2nd point from Nashville.

At least the Blues lost in the shootout.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The entire point of moving Kopecky and others is to clear roster spot for kids

Bickell to Fla isn't happening (+ Why would he allow a trade to Florida?)

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Stars win and Avs in OT.

Freaking everybody in the Central got a point tonight.

It was offered by Florida fans so I donno, just going with the flow man.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I agree that this trade is most likely not happening, like pretty much every proposal on this site.

But Upshall, Fleischmann, and Bergenheim will be UFAs in addition to Kopecky. Adding Bickell does not ruin their chances to play young players moving forward. Plus Florida has a lot of cap space, a trade history with Chicago, and a somewhat promising future with all that young talent. We also don't know if Bickell would or would not be willing to go to Florida.

Yea, as far as HF trades go, this one is pretty feasible given all the reason you spelled out here. Anyways, fun to play "what if".

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

So it seems bascially everyone in the Central has a decent night tonight...

Can't say with certainty an EDM-CBJ trade will be consummated but by all accounts they're working very hard to make something happen.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 1m1 minute ago
See @TSNAaronWard's timeline for details. Perron and Anisimov primary names mentioned but others are also apparently being discussed.

Aaron Portzline @Aportzline · 24m 24 minutes ago
Hearing chatter that a deal between #CBJ and #Oilers is well along in the process. @TSNAaronWard mentions Perron and Anisimov as likely


Fun times coming on HF ,, Always like a trade with well known names
