Rumor: FLA has a deal in place to send Vatrano to Seattle, along with previously reported pick Driedger

[kerrabria]

If the plan still is to trade Vatrano for a picked player, there are still some decent D options.

Soucy, Dunn, Lauzon i guess.

I doubt Vatrano alone is enough to get Soucy.
No interested in Dunn when we have Nutivaara and a glut of young LHD ready to compete for the bottom pair spot.
I don't know anything about Lauzon.

Nuti was nutty in the playoffs, I rather get rid of him somehow

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Earlier today I predicted a Vatrano for Haydn Fleury swap.

The three goalies have been announced, and none of them are Stolarz (one of the speculated potential picks from the Ducks).

Larsson and Oleksiak are signed. I thought it'd be a no-brainer for them to take Giordano, Bean and DeMelo. But apparently neither of Bean and DeMelo are being chosen.

I thought it would have made sense for Seattle to pick Fleury from the Ducks and send him over to us to be the junior partner on the middle pair and play 5D minutes overall.

But with Seattle now taking forwards from the Jets and Canes, I bet they take Haydn Fleury and keep him for themselves.

Fleury is getting picked per LeBrun.

We'll have to see what happens

I wouldn't put too much stock into this rumor anymore. There's been no follow up or talk about it from a credible source since it was first reported days ago.

 

[Gentle Man]

Literally no clue why we are sending Vatrano to Seattle. Still confuses me.

Vatrano + Bob for Driedger

duh.

 

[kerrabria]

I wouldn't put too much stock into this rumor anymore. There's been no follow up or talk about it from a credible source since it was first reported days ago.

Even if Frank isn't going to Seattle, I would be very surprised if he isn't traded for a mid-round pick or along with a mid round pick for a bottom 4 D.

He's blocking our young wingers, he's maybe our fourth best winger overall, and he's not being extended past this year. Makes no sense to keep him.

 

[iam76]

i wonder what deals happen tonight.. we def could be involved. any more news on vatrano?

Seattle is picking a lot of LHD. Maybe something is in the works.

Yeah…apparently no deal is expected today, except maybe the Stralman cap space move. That’s what was said.

If it's with Arizona, that can't be done until 1pm tomorrow

 

[HockeyRulez]

Why isn't there any more news on this vatrano stuff. The whole kraken roster is practically released but we have to sit here and bite our nails about this

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I'm guessing either:

A: There was never any actual agreement for Vatrano

B: There was a trade agreement that got nixed prior to today for whatever reason

C: Trade will be announced tonight or tomorrow if another team is involved

 

[MintyFresh88]

Vatrano may have only been on the board had Seattle picked a certain player. If Seattle went in a different direction, then it’s off the table pretty fast.

 

[BeezKnees]

Wondering how many of their picks were made due to side deals in place. Like why pick 37 year old Giordano with 1 year left on his contract? To flip him is my guess.

 

[Gentle Man]

No surprise.
But seeing him live with the jersey on hurts a little.

Suck it Bob. Suck it

 

[FinlandPanther]

No surprise.

Suck it Bob. Suck it

It really did. What a disgusting sight.

 

[HockeyRulez]

Maybe we won't see trades announced till tomorrow?

 

[PBPantherfan]

Maybe we won't see trades announced till tomorrow?

Listening to SiriusXM today they said the trades couldn’t be announced until after the roster freeze expired.

 

[Ghoste]

Looks like Frankie can still be a nice addition to that forward group. Guess we’ll see if it happens tomorrow.

Because he will be the captain of the team. Seattle is not trading players who were there wearing the Kraken jerseys. So that applies to Hayden Fleury too.

Yeah I figured that too when I saw the show/ his interview.

Suck it Bob. Suck it

or if the Kraken are your 2nd team then you feel alright : )

Was Dunn wearing a jersey?

 

[Panteras]

He was not

 

[Dread Clawz]

They do have an excess of D
