McKenzie: I wouldn't be shocked if Jonathan Drouin were dealt

[TampaJay]

Flames need a RW like Drouin bad. What about TJ Brodie for Drouin and small plus?

He’s actually a LW. Cooper had him at RW because there was no one else. I’ve never heard him say what he prefers.

 

[BondraTime]

Ceci + Dzingel + 1st of any interest

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Change Milano for Dubois and we add Tyler Johnson (a proven playoff performer) who is good for 50-60 points a season + our first round pick ?

Interesting idea, but I think it would be a bit too complicated because of the two Bolts players' upcoming raises. We'd have to send a major dump to Tampa, but there isn't exactly a cap dump on the Jackets other than Hartnell...and I don't think he wants to be traded at this point in his career (not counting Clarkson bc of LTIR).

 

[Oxbow Lakes]

Justin Faulk for Drouin? Who adds, if any?

Faulk or Hanifin would probably be fair for 1-on-1 trade. I would only do it if Drouin still actually wants to get traded though.

Honestly I don't see Carolina trading Faulk since he is a RHD.

Best offers so far. I know Yzerman said he was open to a LHD, but there is a complication. He would have to move one of Garrison or Coburn to make room.

Usually when the b-train insinuates something like this, it happens. So cya Drouin.

 

[TheNumber4]

If I was Tbay I'd trade Drouin. Pre Madonnas like Drouin don't fit on teams looking to win championships like Tbay. Wouldn't want him on the Oilers that's for sure.

There is potential for us to help each other out. We make the best partners imo

I had no idea Drouin can sing too. I wonder how much that increases his trade value?

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

here's to hoping they get hosed.

 

[Rschmitz]

I don't think Drouin is at all interested in staying in TB. I fully believe he publicly pulled back his trade request but very much kept it alive privately.

I said the same thing after Yzermans end of year interview and Friedman reporting the idea

 

[Siludin]

Tanev? Yzerman has traded with Benning before.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Doubt vatanen would get it done but what about something around vatanen and jones

I'd be cool with Vatanen + Jones for Drouin. Or if the Bolts are into rhyming, something like Vatanen + Nattinen + 2nd.

 

[Eye Floater]

Something around Dumba for Drouin.

 

[Homesick]

A rebuilding team trades a D over 30 who already has a questionable contract and health concerns going for a potential first line winger?

Seems like a good move to me.

Ask the idiots who ran the Oilers from 2007 until 2015 how icing a team full of young forwards worked out

Trouba would be perfect in TB.

Don't think Drouin is enough straight up, and the Jets don't really need forwards. They'd need to flip Drouin for a top LHD, or trade another forward for D.

To TB: Trouba
To Wpg: Drouin and 2017 1st

To LAK: Drouin (+?)
To Wpg: Muzzin

I could live with that, but much prefer Drouin and Koekkoek for Trouba.

 

[Pierre Lebrun]

Galchenyuk + Beaulieu

Not sold on Koekkoek.

I like the #15 pick better.

 

[Viqsi]

I might be wrong, but I don't think CBJ can afford that, capwise.

Assuming a flat cap, we've got about $2.9m in cap space plus up to $5.25m in LTIR relief from Clarkson. And in that setup we're sending back just over $5m total from Murray and Calvert. Gives us essentially $13.2m to sign five RFAs (the two newcomers plus Wennberg, Anderson, and Korpisalo). But at that point we'd have a full roster (not accounting for whomever we lose to the expansion draft, naturally).

That would be pretty impressive if we could pull it off.

 

[Vipers31]

Pre Madonnas like Drouin don't fit on teams looking to win championships like Tbay.

Yeah, you really look to keep it entirely Post-Madonna on a team looking to win.

Classic.

 

[10Ducky10]

Myers (25% retained), Petan and next year's first round pick for Drouin and this year's first rounder.

I think we would sooner trade Drouin for futures and try again for Shattenkirk

I don't see how a trade like that could be possible unless Jack Johnson+an additional asset is subbed out for Murray, but I don't think Tampa would do that. We'd probably have to buy out Hartnell as well - which may happen anyways.

I'm not saying it's fair value, but I gave it a shot to see if it could work financially. It would be extremely tight the following year when Atkinson, Jenner, Murray and Bjorkstrand all need new contracts.

Agreed. A 65-70 year old would have some difficulty cracking the Bolts lineup.
