Confirmed Trade: [DET/SJS] Nyquist [30% Retained] for 2019 2nd, 2020 3rd

[Hammettf2b]

I mean, we've seen what happens when Blashill is left to make lineup decisions himself..

The mafia was starting Joakim Anderssen over Mantha ffs!!!

 

[GoldenSeal]

The Teal Army is for real

 

[jkutswings]

Damn bro you should be a GM!!

He's an Oilers fan. A GM from HFB couldn't be much worse than the last few guys.

 

[North Cole]

No he said little Joe, and implied that he's under 30. Thornton is even older than Pavelski, so your quote makes even less sense.

He's talking about Sakic...

I guess people on HF don't like to be called out when they say random garbage like "Nyquist deserves a 1st don't offer me your b-level prospects or a 2nd" then go ahead and get a 2nd from a top 3 team in the West.

Man, imagine that - people on an IBB not getting trade terms exactly right. Sure seems like the kind of thing you should crow endlessly about as if you've never been wrong.

 

[Danglesyuk13]

Because lifelong fan = GM ! Awesome logic. Crazy how ******** Detroit fans got to this comment, I guess people on HF don't like to be called out when they say random garbage like "Nyquist deserves a 1st don't offer me your b-level prospects or a 2nd" then go ahead and get a 2nd from a top 3 team in the West.

In before 2nd round of "lol Oilers, your opinion on hockey is irrelevant on a message board for hockey fans"

Y'all got any of those hart trophy forwards laying around for or 2nd pair defensemen?

 

[Cursed Lemon]

What are the chances he resigns?

What are the chances he resigns?

At first blush I'd say it's not good but there are a lot of potential moving parts to San Jose this off-season. I would think his re-signing here specifically is more tied to Karlsson's re-signing but it might also be tied with Pavelski and/or Donskoi leaving as well. The Sharks will likely have a few moves to do in order to make everyone they want to have fit stay there. The team has that option if circumstances break a certain way but we have to wait and see obviously.

 

[glasgow26]

Really happy with this move. I didn't expect DW to add a player of this caliber at the deadline - I was expecting a depth move for a 4C or backup goaltender. When I read about Detroit and SJ scouting each other I assumed it was going to involve a guy like Helm.

I think Nyquist would look awesome on the second line with Kane and Hertl. This would allow Donskoi to slide down to the third line with Thornton and Labanc. Probably the most stacked roster the Sharks have ever had.

Ken Holland says NTC didn't handcuff him in any way. Nyquist was willing to be traded and only requested not to be traded to one particular team.

RIP everyone's opinion on value ITT

I'll guess Boston. Then, they got Johansson.

I'd imagine the offers were fairly close.

Only requested to not be traded to one particular team.

lol poor Ottawa

LOL let the speculation ensue.

Honestly suprised 'only one'. If I had the power of a NTC, they're be a lot more than one.

 

[Adityase]

I'm just going to assume Boston offered their first round pick.

 

[Wyzer Plan]

Only requested to not be traded to one particular team.

lol poor Ottawa

My guess is Montreal. I don’t think Ottawa was ever even an option.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

They're the scariest team in the west right now
But why do I have a feeling that if SJ plays Dallas, St. Louis or Vegas in the 1st round, they there will be a massive upset

I'm a rival divisional fan, but for some reason I really want to see Thornton lift the Stanley cup

 

[IcedJuicebox]

My guess is Montreal. I don’t think Ottawa was ever even an option.

Or Toronto, there were always whispers that Nyquist really disliked Babcock.

Can’t be true. Franzen got Nyquist custom Babcock bed sheets made up to remember — Ohhhhhhh

Well that's shitty as f***, then.

 

[LeftHeartInSF]

Sharks going all in cause their window is closing fast. Great team right now tho.

Been hearing this for a decade. Been to the playoffs every year save 1.

"They're the scariest team, but I think they will lose first round." Way to cover all the bases on that one.

 

[SM]

The Athletic article by Kevin Kurz states a source told him Nyquist nixed a trade to Winnipeg.

Holland said No Trade Clauses did not effect any trades

Holland said No Trade Clauses did not effect any trades

“It helped that Nyquist, who had a no-trade clause, wanted to come to the Sharks. According to a source, Nyquist turned down a trade to the Winnipeg Jets before agreeing to make his way to San Jose. He’s friends with Karlsson, too, so that likely helped sway him.”

Sharing is caring.

If you think at least 3 teams could beat them how would it be a massive upset??
