GM Game #1 by matt trick, TL, and IR4

[matt trick]

Looking to move everyone expect for Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith. Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, Brent Seabrook will be in the trade block for some time, so hurry up.

I can assure you there will be no deal involving Jonathan Toews. I can't imagine a realistic scenario where a team moves its Conn Smythe winning captain the year after winning the cup.

Anyone else is fair game, but Keith, Toews, and Kane are going nowhere.

You could argue that Heatley is a similar player, but I think Toews as a former draft pick, Captain, Conn Smyth winner, and franchise player, is among the least likely players in the league to be moved.

Heatley is fair game I think. He did not sign his contract or was not drafted by that teams. Chicago commited to Toews and gave him the C. Toews is like Chicago's favorite child, hes been groomed to be the captain since the day they drafted him

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Colorado Avalanches would be ready to trade some of their top prospect to land a top 4 defenceman singed for relativly long term.

Elliot, Hishon, Cohen, Stoa, Barrie, Gaunce, 2011 1st pick along with already mentioned Porter and Cumiskey can be moved.

Shattenkirk and Pickard are 2 prospect we won't move.

 

[Leafs4life1996]

I might trade Toews if it's a really great value I'm getting...

 

[BillyShoe1721]

It'll be vetoed, guarantee it.

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Get your offers in one both Giordano and Ian White. They will be traded before the deadline.

Looking for a 2nd line LW with size/good prospects and high picks

 

[Dichow Stopper]

UPDATE

After losing out on two big names defensemen, the Montreal Canadiens are still in the market for a top pairing defenseman to play with Andrei Markov. He needs to be right-handed or at least left-handed who can play on the right side.

On the trade block :

Roman Hamrlik : He needs to be involved in a trade for a top pairing defenseman for salary purposes. He is still a valuable defenseman and he is an UFA at the end of the season.

Benoit Pouliot : He is available in a package for a top pairing defenseman but he could also be dealt in another trade if the price is right. He won't come cheap and we are looking to get something valuable in return.

Ryan O'Byrne : He is available in a package for a top pairing defenseman but he could also be dealt for a solid D prospect.

Ben Maxwell or David Desharnais : One of them is available for a top pairing defenseman but they could also be dealt straight up for a D prospect with similar upsides.

Mathieu Carle : He is available in a package for a top pairing defenseman but he could also be dealt straight up for a younger D prospect with similar upsides (or a pick). Carle is close to be NHL ready but there is no spot for him in Montreal.

EVERY PICKS ARE AVAILABLE

GOOD AND MIDLEVEL PROSPECTS ARE AVAILABLE

[Oilfan Splat]

:thrashers

All player except Kane and Pavelec are available.

We are looking for prospects or picks in return. I'd like to get the rebuild of the Thrashers on a role.

ROUSSEL TO MONTREAL, PACIORETTY TO NASHVILLE

The Montreal Canadiens have traded forward Max Pacioretty to the Nashville Predators for defenseman Charles-Olivier Roussel.

Comments to come later.

 

[TLinden]

Bieksa likely to be moved tonight. Hodgson might not be far behind.

Some new interest for Schroeder, and even some offers for Luongo that are enticing (although likely not to be considered.)

Anyone not named Sedin, Kesler, Burrows, Ehrhoff and Edler are negotiable for trade.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Confirmed. Great deal for both sides, gave us a potential top 6 forward for a defenseman that has top 4 potential but wouldn't be able to realize it in Nashville. Thanks to 79 Andre Marcoux for quick and effective negotiating.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

WAIVERS

The Montreal Canadiens have placed defenseman Roman Hamrlik on waivers.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Bob McKenzie : Roman Hamrlik was waived for cap reasons. Expect a big move from the Habs tonight. Stay tuned.

[BillyShoe1721]

**** it

Untouchable: Chara, Rask

Looking to move Savard

 

[Kessel>Seguin +]

Robyn Regehr has been traded to the Ottawa senators in return for Nick Foligno, Jared Cowen and Chris Campoli.

With the depth the Flames have on Defense and the amount of money sunk into that position someone had to leave and it was Regehr. We are extremly happy to add Foligno as we have been looking to add a top 6 left winger. Cowen is also a huge plus as he projects to be the same type of player Robyn is.

Calgary is still taking offers on Ian White. There has been very little interest in him so far. The best prospect offered will get him before the deadline

HABS MAKE A HUGE SPLASH, ACQUIRE YOUNG ELITE DEFENSEMAN

The Montreal Canadiens have traded forward Danny Kristo, defenseman Ryan O'Byrne and their 2011 1st round pick to the Atlanta Thrashers for defenseman Zach Bogosian.

We are very excited to add such a great young player to our organization. Bogosian is very talented and he is at his third season in the NHL at only 20 years old. We are not scared to give him big responsabilities and he will be paired with Andrei Markov right away on the top pairing. This is a great move for our organization for the present and the future. We would like to wish Kristo and O'Byrne the best of luck in the Thrashers organization. For this move to happen, we had to place Roman Hamrlik on waivers. We tried to trade him but there was unfortunately no takers. He is a solid veteran and there should be a taker for him as a rental (on waivers). He would help many teams.

Earlier today, we have acquired Charles-Olivier Roussel from the Nashville Predators. Many think that Roussel could be another Shea Weber. We don't want to put too much pressure on him but he will definitely be a solid defenseman in the future. We will work with him and give him all the time he needs to develop properly.

With those two moves, we have retooled our depth at the position for years to come.

 

[TLinden]

Big trade. More to come.

Uh houston we have a problem...

And so another year of GM games begin

Why would a team who says they are rebuilding trade away their best young player?
