how has Rutta played this year? is he a 5-6?

 

[The Nuge]

Only took 24 games to figure out what every single hockey fan knew. I wonder if any GM will actually be crazy enough to trade for Manning

I could see a team taking Rutta closer to the deadline for depth though since he doesn’t have extra term

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Yep I can see one of them and a pick going to LA for Muzzin or Martinez. Chicago is also heavily scouting LA.

Should be interesting to see how all of this pans out...

unless thats a high pick, why would LA do that?

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Manning is horrible.

I still can’t believe Chicago gave him two years. Yikes.

Of the two he’s more likely to be a solid bottom pair guy.

The second year kills any manning deal. Unless bad player for bad player type of deal. Can't believe he got a multi year to begin with.
Rutta probably with retention can get something done.
He's a bottom pair guy only. Right handed. 6'3 198. Decent speeds. He's been ok this year. Nothing special.

LA should fire their GM on the spot if that goes down. And if the pick is a 1st or 2nd then Bowman should be fired on the spot.

Rutta should have some value, he has looked solid, no?

for Gagner?

He's been on and off. He was a decent #4 last year when healthy, but kept getting hurt. We felt this season could've been different, but he pulled a groin in preseason and has looked a step slower.

He has looked better the last few weeks, but it's hard to judge a defensemen on this team right now. I could see the Hawks getting jack shit for him in a trade to a contender and him pulling a Kempny.

andrew macdonald for manning.
get a top 3 d man a little overpaid for a fan favorite manning @boxcar65

 

[Toews2Bickell]

The only Manning proposal that makes sense is something like Gagner as a return with Vancouver retaining enough so dollars wash out. Or a similar type player with a year left thats out of favor with their team and cap washes out. Likely a forward.

Hawks would like to counter with Seabrook for Simmonds

Expecting a 4th rd pick to be a realistic return.

Hell no why would the Kings do that?

 

[Bobby Terrance]

So the worst team in the league is selling their junk. I'm sure there will be a lot of takers on this.

Would prefer to keep them. We need all the help we can get going against LA in the lose for hughes sweepstakes...

For Rutta? I'd easily trade our (the Oilers') 4th for him. I think he's a better option than Chris Wideman and pretty much any other bottom pairing guy we have. Might have to take Wideman back and retain a bit on Rutta, just to help even out the money and alleviate number of contracts.

 

[Braeden]

Gagner for Rutta

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Jan Rutta (with Retention) for Martin Marincin & 6th

LHD for RHD

No interest in that type of deal for the hawks. They are trying to clear a defenseman out. Not a dman swap.

 

[Taylorst]

Chicago will throw in a Kunitz too

 

[CanadianHawks]

Hope both are gone. Rutta has shown flashes. Manning is the tank commander. The Hawks already have enough bottom pair D. Keep Seabrook and Gustafsson as the bottom pair
