LeBrun: LeBrun seems to think Kyle Turris has trade deadline value

[Snowpants]

Hi OP you may find helpful

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Aaron? Stop being salty bro

 

[Junohockeyfan]

And in other news, Lebrun got a bonus check from Turris's agent for undisclosed services rendered.

 

[EXTRAS]

He had 10p in 10g and world's, andas 5p in 7g to begin the year. Maybe last year was just a terrible one and he's gonna turn it around. Who knows? He could have value by February.

 

[Mobiandi]

I thought that Turris wanted to re-sign in Ottawa but Melnyk cheaped out and told Dorion to trade him. If anything, that move was one of the first dominoes that led to what the Senators have become today

I also wanted Neal for Turris last offseason

Didn’t you know that when a player has a down year he’s done forever?

Sounds like the OP is some crazy stalker who obsesses over anyone who spurned his favorite team.

Lucic for Turris + ??? since it's an extra year? Turris buyout numbers are a bit more manageable for the next few years too due to the structure.

Keep shuffling the deck chairs and hope you can get the Neal and not Lucic of the deal.


So much about hockey is fit and opportunity. We've seen it with Turris before when he went from Arizona to Ottawa.

 

[EpochLink]

Turris got paid, why try any harder?

The trading a paper clip for a car thing doesn’t work when you start with a piece of dog doody instead

What? You are talking about trading one of the worst contracts in the league signed by a player who hardly belongs to the NHL anymore to the contract who, in 2020, is pretty fair-ish in value? What the hell are you smoking?

 

[Dolemite]

Are you Aaron Wood?

But yeah I don’t think Turris would make sense at the deadline, it’s too much money to move. Maybe in the off-season with more moving parts involved.

I covered (Media) the Coyotes when Turris was with the team.

Turris' contract is not fair value. That's why Lebrun is arguing that he actually thinks Turris has value come the trade deadline. As in, right now it's questionable if he has any right now because of his contract.

He had a bad year and shows all the signs of bouncing back this year. Turris is still, at his worst, a 40-50 point player, passable 2nd line center. Yes, on a contender with amazing center depth, that contract stings. On a team lacking good centers, like Detroit, that is a pretty fair deal. Even more so if Turris actually reaches 50 points.

Travis Zajac is being paid 5.75 and nobody goes out of their way to call it out as a bad contract. Little hasn't scored 50 in forever and he is being paid 5.3. Turris' contract is a very slight overpayment at worst. It's only made look so bad because 1) Nashville are contenders and every penny counts; 2) with Duchene signed they can only play him as 3C and he is overpaid for that role.

Well, Zajac is primarily defensive center, the offensive contribution is just a bonus. But otherwise I agree with your post.

 

[Siludin]

Juolevi and Eriksson for Turris

 

[Sens]

Another goal tonight... he’s playing as a 50 point player from the Preds bottom six

He looks healthy after an injured year

Preds are going for the cup
Turris is wicked depth...add a winger for him to play with at the trade deadline

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Turris is playing well. If he's traded, it's for something different that helps us, not your team's shitty player on a bad contract. The further and further we go into the season the more clear it becomes that the issue last year was injuries.

 

[herzausstein]

3G 3A in 8GP after tonight’s game. Guy looks good again. It’s amazing what healing from injuries and a dash of confidence can do. Either way he looked good with duchene and granlund. If Nashville can make the salary work (we can if we let smith walk as ufa and maybe trade bonino but I think things could still work out with him), I’d rather keep turris.

He pretty much hates the Coyotes, too, so I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. At least the last part. The first adjective you used might be apt enough, though.

 

[GeauxPreds1]

It’s funny how people say he has negative value but he has 6 points (3g and 3a) in 8 games playing in a bottom 6 role. He would be a great 2nd line center who needs one. I’m glad we have him right now. I hope he continues to play well to prove all these people who say he’s a cap dump wrong. Last year was a injured filled and its showing so far

 

[BigFatCat999]

OK last nights game might have put him on top 6 wing. It's early but he's on pace for 30 goals and 60 pts. Currently playing LW with some C duty putting Duchene out on wing for faceoff matchups.

 

[Canuck86]

TDL value with what 4 more years on his deal...is Nashville retaining near max retention and or adding a pick/prospect?

If Poile was willing to do that he would have already been moved

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

I thought Turris was Nashville's best forward in last night's game. Hope he keeps it up this year.
