Around the NHL Thread - Found the Missing #16

Landing Lafreniere and Byfield would be a decent speed up for a rebuild. Any protection on the Sharks pick?

it was conditional based on the whether or not the Sharks made the playoffs last season, so it turned over to Ottawa when they qualified last year. But as far as I know, no protection.

I guess there really was something in the water!!

I know it's still really early in the season but an interesting development to watch is San Jose, they're 30th in the league and Ottawa has their 1st rounder this year.

Would be absolutely hilarious if the Sens got a top pick from that trade after losing theirs to Colorado.

That being said, we had similar conversations this time last year with San Jose's pick going to Buffalo in the Kane trade.

Think a Johnny hockey-for-Tkachuk"2 Brady-style trade could come about?
Interesting possibilities anyways?
Could see a future top-line of Tkachukx2 and Lindholm centering. Then we trade Monahan , if he doesn't show improved determination for another better play-maker center ( maybe Niklas Backstrom?)

I hope neither of those deals come close to happening. But I would think both of the other teams would be more than willing to make them. Although Washington might have sentimental reasons to keep Backstrom.

I don't see any reason to downgrade from Gaudreau to Tkachuk. The brother thing is such an awful reason to acquire a guy, especially when they play the same position.

Don't think Washington makes the trade. As much as Monahan would definitely be able to replace Backstrom for the most part (Kuzy going full time first line), Ovi would stop it. A trade like that, there is no way they do it without Ovi's blessing, and Ovi all but said if he stays in Washington after his current contract, it's only if Backstrom stays.

Yes, to the tkachuk for gaudreau deal

We need to get ahead of Ottawa on the lafrenier cup

...I have no words to describe how ASININE it is for insinuating we should even ATTEMPT to tank.... if anyone thinks that, they need to seriously give their head a shake and rethink their fandom.
it's been 1 month. on a team that is consistently slow out of the gate. chill.

Maybe my English is no good but that's not my point

My point is trading johhny for Brady is almost the same as tanking...

Lol I thought English is easy

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Gaudreau for Tkachuk and Logan Brown.

 

[Mobiandi]

This team is second in our division. Hopefully we can make use of this homestand and string 4 wins a row or something because , man oh man, the Pacific is something else this season

 

[InfinityIggy]

Gaudreau for Tkachuk and Logan Brown.

Why do you hate our team?

2 x Tkachuk's would be the dirtiest team in the league, then throw Looch in there.

Also Brady can play C.

You don't throw Lucic in there. You don't throw him anywhere. He's the one that throws you around.

Lafreniere would look damn good in the Flaming C.

Are you seriously suggesting a Lucic-B. Tkachuk-M. Tkachuk line? Because I am 100% for that. That would be hilarious. I have a feeling it would result in a bench brawl against any Tortorella coached team.

As an Oiler fan my advice for Calgary would be do not go down the tanking path, or at least if you are gonna do it get someone better than Treliving in charge. It has created an awful pattern up north.

Ehh, for a tank Tre would be really good. We've had fairly strong drafting under him so far, and he is great with RFA contracts. Which is perfect for a tanking team.

I'd really rather just avoid tanking though.

There's a rumour going around that Jason Spezza will also be waived today. If he is waived, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ottawa claims him and his $700,000 contract.

Looks like Hyman is healthy and the Leafs are clearing cap space for his return.

 

[Kahvi]

He's only shooting 24% now so he should get of his slump soon and start producing again

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to hope Neal slows down, but it's a way of framing it that I don't care for very much. He's got 2 PPG in there as well, which sounds way better than one point in 9 games. I get it's twitter and you can't highlight it all, but just wanted to point that out.
