[God King Fudge]

Maybe something going on with TB. First the LA thing now this.

Who is TB taking from the Rags now?

Wonderful, what makes you so sure they're just looking at the rags players?

I think you forget a N in Rags. But ok. And maybe Zucc.

Isn't a TB/NYR trade like a yearly thing now?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Any of those teams have decent backups to spare?

The Sens really need one. Really bad.

They are and I hope you're right. Don't want to see our pending UFAs go

TB did just bring up Connor Ingram from SYR.

2.52 and .918 and 3 SO in 10 GP in SYR.

Not sure that'd fit the needs though.

You Know, Cory Conacher is tearing up the AHL right now....

 

[Liver King]

Ceci and Dzingel likely available from Ottawa

Sidenote: why would there be 9 teams but only 3 listed?

 

[and 99 others]

Who gets moved first: Zuccarello or Dzingel?

 

[King Weber]

For what it's worth, Nashville plays both of them next month.

Two scouts though?

 

[belair]

FWIW Mats Zuccarello isn't even playing tonight.

 

[Ser Grogu]

They are and I hope you're right. Don't want to see our pending UFAs go

I'd be okay with Pyatt and Pääjärvi going.

 

[devbouz12]

I'd be okay with Pyatt and Pääjärvi going.

Paajarvi scored tonight so we can probably get good value for him now

 

[Lays]

Dallas and Nashville make sense as Hayes fits
Don’t know what TBL are looking for

There’s been a lot of speculation around the Rangers lately though, we’ve been scouted heavily recently and then there’s the Zucc article with him saying he’s expecting to be traded
I think once Buchnevich/Namestnikov come back, one of Zucc or Hayes is gone, we have a lot of guys pushing for a roster spot and Lias is expected to stay up so I expect one of Hayes/Zucc to traded before the TDL
Zucc isn’t playing tonight though (and hasn’t for the past few games due to injury)

Multiple scouts from each team. Read it in a tweet from the same guy I believe (maybe not) A couple teams had 2 each. Doesn’t fully answer your question since it still wouldn’t add up but best I can give you.

Gotta wait until they make Kreider Capt. and then Tampa will trade for him.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Considering both teams should be sellers its not too surprising

 

[DFC]

Stone as a rental to TB.

 

[harrisb]

Where have rangers and sens scouts been over the last few days?

 

[LT]

Ceci and Dzingel likely available from Ottawa

Sidenote: why would there be 9 teams but only 3 listed?

9 teams had at least one scout there, the 3 listed were the ones with multiple scouts. Sending multiple scouts typically implies more serious interest in the game and the players involved.

im asking who the other 6 teams are

 

[maplepred]

Stone extended to Nashville for Fabbro and Tolvanen.

Oh, the question was worded awkwardly then.

Haven’t seen any info on that. It is very normal for scouts to attend seemingly random games, and it isn’t always for trade prospects. It is their job, after all. Knowing those teams might not tell you much at all.

I would suspect sending multiple scouts isn’t particularly common unless there’s legitimate interest, though. That’s what is interesting to me in this situation.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

This seems somewhat pertinent:


Not due to injury.

At the very least, we know Quinn was not trying to showcase Shatty. I didn't notice him standing out in a particularly negative way, personally.

One thing I've long learned is not to put any stock into who attends what games especially if it's in New York, LA or any other major area. It could be too that scouts who know each other got together at a game, could be the scouts scouting future opponents, could be the teams doing tempature checks on Ottawa's free agents.

I remember like 5 years back one team brought their AGM and 3 scouts on the California road trip. Made a big rumour mill about how their might be a trade brewing. A week later the team fired two of the scouts and replaced them with fresher eyes, the AGM was just checking to make sure his scouts were worth keeping or not.

I remember another story from a few years back where two scouts from a team traveled around for like 6 months, turned out the retiring one was training his replacement.

Every game usually has 4-10 scouts at it
