Dreger: Leafs, Blue Jackets, Jets, and Avalanche interested in Namestnikov

[YotesFan47]

4th rounder?

I suspect every buying team has multiple assets in play that could land Namestnikov.

We'd have to send salary back and/or have retention on top of a pick driving up the cost to a 2nd, leaving us with no picks in the first 3 rounds of this draft. Don't know that GMJC is down with that for a UFA.

 

[YotesFan47]

There would need to be a bigger deal like Stepan + something for Names + something. If we're giving up Toccs fave then I would also wager we want a player like JGP coming back who is probably in the realm of 1st/2nd + Prospect which then likely makes this too rich for the Coyotes to participate.

Who would you guys wanna send back? I really dont think we'd have much problem taking salary back so long as its a body that can play a regular shift, but I cant see any dumps from AZ - at least not anyone who is worse than Names

Just saw your other post. Yeah, Stepan would be tough.... maybe Names + Anisimov for Stepan + something... and then we trade him back for a 5th before his bonus gets paid, and then trade a 4th for him afterwards lol

 

[SpezDispenser]

I'd love a 3rd...

 

[jfhabs]

Bracco is really the new Ryder on here

Except Ryder was actually a décent NHLer. Other then that, yeah!

Does Anisimov still have legs? If he didn't have another year on his deal I'd imagine Anisimov (50%) + Namestnikov for Stepan might work.

If Kuemper stayed healthy I'd have felt comfortable with Raanta but... He'd didn't. I wish we were in on this but I just can't see a deal based on the limited info on who our team wants to keep. My personal trade list is:

Stepan
Kessel
Grabner
Hinostroza
Richardson
Soderberg
Oesterle

For various reasons I don't think management shares the same sentiment on any of those players outside of maybe Hinostroza. Hino is a decent 3rd liner and by all accounts great in the locker room so even with him I feel like we want to stand pat.

Maybe Names (50%) for Hino? He's a RFA and younger so theres maybe a higher chance he could end up better than Names?

Would definitely take him on the Wings if price is right especially if we move AA. Has history with yzerman too

Sens don't want any salary coming back. A 3rd round pick will do it.

I'd love a 3rd...

Pens offer 2020 or 2021 3rd, your choice, and require no retention or cap dump headed the other way.

You wanna call the league office or should I?

Let's do it. You call.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Let's do it. You call.

There's like 3 middle 6 wingers out there worth trading for, with Names being one of them. I wouldn't be surprised, given the market lately, if this ends up being an underpayment.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Significant interest in him from multiple teams according to Bob Mckenzie. He just said that on Ottawa radio. 3rd seems fair.

I should never have bought a Namestnikov jersey.

I'm willing to take that chance.

Insider Trading: Is there a real possibility the Leafs move Barrie?

 

[justafan22]

I have no idea what the Leafs would move for him.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Why do the Jets even need VN?

I'd much rather him over Roslovic. But Ottawa should keep him if you ask me.

 

[BlueBaron]

Jeremy Bracco + 2021 4th rd. Pick + 2020 6th rd. Pick for Vlad Namestnikov (50% retained) + Ron Hainsey (50% retained)

That's actually not bad.

 

[mikeyp24]

I mean the CBJ has been the team that guys like Duclair and Abramov came from first so how about we sent you another small extremely skilled and fast player in Sonny Milano for Names?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Toronto can blow themselves up.

The others can please start a bidding war? That would be swell.

 

[DJB]

 

[jaric1862]

Im guessing Leafs offer would be something like 4th+Timashov and the Sens would have to retain half

 

[justafan22]

2019 4th via Vegas + Jeremy Bracco for namestnikov
