[Peter Griffin]

Talks for Ryan Kesler are heating up with 6 teams now having made very serious offers. Going rate is a 1st round pick, young roster player(25 and under) and a prospect. Would prefer a deal involving a more established roster player in which case the other assets may not be neccessary.

Alex Edler, Kevin Bieksa and Chris Tanev have all received interest as well with a number of teams making offers for different players.

Jannik Hansen/Chris Higgins could also be dealt for any teams looking solid middle 6 options with good cap hits.

Eddie Lack/Jacob Markstrom are being shopped around for the best offer I can get.

 

[drnaud81]

The rebuild continues in Calgary, so we're looking to add young, NHL-ready talent at all positions and/or picks.

Monahan, Gaudreau and Brodie are not available. Everyone else (Wideman, Smid, Stajan, Glencross, Hudler, Cammalleri's UFA rights, Jones, etc.) can be moved in the right deal.

 

[IslesRock4]

We place Ryan Malone on waivers with the intention of using our 2nd compliance buyout on him.

Looking to acquire two top defensemen (prefer RH) and possibly a top 6 RW. We have a lot of quality pieces available, so I'm looking for the best players I can find.

Killorn, Kucherov, Namestnikov, Erne, Purcell, Connolly, Panik, Koekkoek, Sustr, Aulie, Barberio, Lindback...other picks and prospects all available. Only moving Drouin if I get an absolutely elite player back.

Also looking to move Eric Brewer. 1 year left at $3.875M. Limited NTC. Will only cost a pick or prospect.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Barkov, Gudbrandson, Bjugstad, Huberdeau are off the table.

Kulikov is expensive.

The 1st overall is in play - looking to move down, and gather assets that can help now.

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Rene Bourque - Team looking to add scoring depth for the playoffs, he's pretty good there. Might not always help during the season so if you're gonna battle for a playoff spot, he might not be the best fit on your top 2 line. Top contender who struggled in recent playoffs to score goals might want to look into it.

Travis Moen - Good 4th line veteran grinder but we don't have a regular spot open for him anymore.

Brandon Prust - Will cost more than Moen but willing to listen to offers.

Peter Budaj or Dustin Tokarski - Would prefer to trade one of them since they both deserves to play in the NHL. Budaj is a great teammate and solid back up, Toks might have good potential.

Price, Subban and Galchenyuk are the only untouchable but I'm unlikely to do much in the trade area, planning to stay the course and be patient with the team. That being said, feel free to make offers (Plekanec, Emelin, Desharnais, Eller, Gorges).

 

[Habsfannick]

Looking to build around the great young core that is in place here. Johansen, Murray and Bobrovsky are untouchable and other guys like Dubinsky, Johnson and Jenner are very unlikely to move.

We are looking for 2 top 6 wingers (one of each side) and a top 4RHD or good RHD prospect. Would also be interested in getting a good backup and some character 4th liners.

Tyutin, Umberger and Calvert are available off the roster and all prospects (except Wennberg and Dansk) are available.

The 16th and 47th overall picks are available either to move up or to fill a need.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

TRADE BLOCK :
Couturier
Schenn bros
Coburn
Read
Streit
All picks and prospects
All other players except Giroux, Voracek and Simmonds
Due to NMC, Hartnell and Lecavalier are unlikely to be moved

We are looking to surround Giroux, Voracek and Simmonds. Not looking for players past their prime.

At this point, we are looking to trade Couturier and B. Schenn for a young top 6 LW and a top pairing defenseman (will add).

PM!

 

[SixthSens]

Derek Stepan (along with prospects/picks to even things out) is available for an upgrade. Rick Nash is also available as well. He has a NMC, so he'll likely only waive for a contender.

Don't ask about Kreider, Brassard, McDonagh, Girardi, Staal and Lundqvist.

Not really interested in moving Hagelin or Zuccarello either, but would consider it for the right deal.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Still searching for #2/#3 C and a package built around D Nick Leddy + is what I am offering

Trading block
RW/LW Kris Versteeg (Looking for pick or prospect)
D Michal Roszival (Looking for pick or prospect ,, Has limited NTC)
D David Rundblad (pick or prospect)

 

[SixthSens]

We've decided to start shopping Brad Richards as well. Looking for a lesser calibre centre primarily, but would consider a winger or defenseman if we like the player.

Picks/prospects can be added on each side to even things out. Would be able to retain salary in the right deal.

 

[The Produce Man]

Not a fan of this current core in Winnipeg. Time to shuffle the deck a bit. Looking to revamp our core, get younger, and see what happens from there.

Basically the only guy I'm dead set on not moving is Jacob Trouba. Evander Kane will be a tough sell but could be moved as well as anyone else!

 

[Nuckles]

Everyone is available for the right price.

 

[T_Cage]

place sniper Ville Leino on waivers

Stewart, Stafford, Mitchell, Enroth/Hackett, Weber, McBain, Knapp on the block

We also looking to discuss Erhoff/Myers and maybe a couple prospects we have a surplus in, but don't mind holding on.

Willing to discuss moving up or down (we have 2, 31, 39 and 49), if we move #2 we'd like to stay in Top 5 unless it's a really good offer.

NEEDS/WANTS: Top-end prospects (1st line F/1st pair D caliber), another 2014 1st (about mid-round), 2015 1st, young NHLers that can grow with the team

 

[Peter Griffin]

Place David Booth on waivers.

 

[Joel Ward]

Not entirely sure what we are going to be doing, however, early on we are leaning towards trying to win now.

If we are trying to win now, we are looking for a top four defenseman (preferably top pairing), a top six forward. Only untouchables would be Kessel, Bozak, JVR, Bernier and Rielly.

If we are re-tooling, everyone is available for the right price, except for Rielly and Bernier. Looking for youth.

PM!

 

[TLinden]

Looking to make some big trades. Tons of valuable pieces available for a re-tooling/building team. See our roster page for more..

Ideally we will bring in a #1B/#2 C, a Top 6 winger and a Top 4 blueliner.

Main trade pieces

Emerson Etem
Sami Vatanen
Devante Smith-Pelley
10th/24th OVR
Kyle Palmieri
Rickard Rakell

 

[Avs44]

We're looking to move Mike Green in a deal involving a similarly aged top 6 forward or a young forward with potential.

Marcus Johansson is available either for a swap for a young defensive minded defensman or in a package for a serious upgrade on offense

We're willing to move all prospects(Burakovsky, Barber, Bowey, etc) along with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson in packages for upgrades. The 13th overall pick is also very much available along with all of our other picks(2014 and 2015). Our only untouchables are Backstrom, Ovechkin, Carlson and Alzner. Everyone else can be moved for the right price.



If any team is also moving a good starting goaltender we would have interest, though we are content waiting until free agency.

 

[The Produce Man]

OTB:

Blake Wheeler (modified NTC)
Dustin Byfuglien (modified NTC; can submit 5 team no trade list)
Bryan Little (limited NTC)
Andrew Ladd (modified NTC)
Tobias Enstrom (NMC)
Michael Frolik (RFA rights)
Jim Slater
Mark Stuart
Grant Clitstrom
Ondrej Pavelec

Not Shopping but will listen on:

Evander Kane
Zach Bogosian
Mark Schiefele (for another young center/winger that I prefer)

 

[TLinden]

If the right players are coming to us in a trade, we'll consider adding goaltender John Gibson in a trade. But it needs to be some serious value coming to the Ducks.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

UPDATE

We have made a major trade pending two NMC waive.

For now, we are willing to discuss trades involving the following players :

Sean Couturier for a young LW with top line upsides
Braydon Coburn for a top 6 forward
Matt Read for a top 4 defenseman

PM!

 

[Habsfannick]

For everyone looking for a top 4D we have Tyutin available not really sure for what so come at me with any reasonable offers.

Umberger OTB for a prospect or pick.

Calvert, Rychel, Dano, Bjorkstrand, Goloubef and other specs, 16th overall and 47th overall all OTB

 

[TribalPhoenix]

As previously stated, the 1st pick overall is in play.

Sooner you inquire, the better your chance. No guarantee we will move it, but we aren't averse to it.

 

[Joel Ward]

We have some potential trades lined up that would put us in a win now position, and would take players like Phaneuf and Kessel off the block. If you are interested in those two send some offers!

Reimer and Franson are being shopped, but we're not just giving them away.

 

[Habsfannick]

hires Craig Ramsay as assistant coach after the departure of Dan Hinote.
