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

[Langdon Alger]

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?

id rather have a 3rd round pick.

If Names comes here please let Goat be in that deal

He's gotta go for at least a 2020 3rd round pick. That's the floor usually for a 3rd line PKer/secondary scorer at the trade deadline.

A 2nd isn't out of the realm of possibility, but it is hard to say because not enough comparable deals have been made.

Interesting that out of those four teams, some are missing current picks, so it would be difficult for there to be a specific price among them that one has to cave to. Meaning, CBJ doesn't have a 2nd until 2022, Leafs may not have a 3rd until 2022, etc. In the past, Dorion has apparently set a price, and waited to see if anybody met it. That's how the Cole, Duchene, and Dzingel trades all apparently came about to Columbus.

I think Ottawa gets a conditional 3rd that becomes a 2nd depending on performance.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I’d have to imagine Columbus was interested in Namestnikov, but with Bjorkstrand being out 8-10 weeks now it seems like it would be an exercise in futility.

With the Sens giving up a 2021 4th rounder and Nick Ebert for him back in October, what can we expect for him here at the deadline?

Does he get a second rounder?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

There is no rumor here

 

[Chiarelli]

You sure dreger?
