Pre-Game Talk: NHL Trade Deadline - Wednesday March 5 @ 12 noon PST - Part II

[David71]

after listening to Gillis I got the feeling we will be very busy tomorrow.

wanna guess on whose out the door tmr? hansen/kesler/in that order booth if they find a taker

 

[ugghhh]

appreantly josi to colorado for stasney

I don't like this trade for Nashville.

I guess they're trading from a strength to a weakness.. but I'd just wait for UFA...

Didn't happen. Fake.

 

[ugghhh]

Didn't happen. Fake.

Makes sense...

SJ getting Vanek would be huge for us in getting a better return for Kes/Edler.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

I would be happy with a simple Hansen for a 1st deal. If someone wants to throw us a legit forward for an Edler+ deal, then sure, but can look at that in the offseason/draft.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 16s

No fewer than 6 teams expressing interest in Ales Hemsky.

 

[BlackAces]

SJ getting Vanek would make me very happy. Would really put some pressure on the West teams to overpay for Kesler. A bidding war between PHI, PITT, ANA, and CHI would be the perfect storm for a great return.

 

[School of WristShot]

Hoping for Vanek to SJ and Hemsky to PHX tonight.

Dreger is getting his ass handed to him as a supposed hockey insider by everyone.

 

[Craz1bo1]

Ken Campbell ‏@THNKenCampbell 39s

I'm told there's nothing to the Vanek to San Jose rumors. Sharks like their team and will likely make only minor moves, if any at all.

 

[Kip96]

Really hoping for Edler to be dealt

Is there any way that Booth could be traded? Even Penner and Bryz got 4th rounders

Good. the guy has become a shill for Nonis and everyone knows it.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Hoping Gillis can come away with Brett Connolly.

To TB- Hansen
To Van- Connolly

Does Vancouver get a pick with Connolly? Does Hansen even get Connolly?

 

[Sutter16]

Pens fans coming in peace here, but what are the reports/rumors from up in Vancouver regarding Kesler? I know he'd like to come east but ANA is interested. Would he waive his NTC to go there? Would you guys do Sutter, Pouliot, 1st and a 3rd? I really want Kesler. Thanks!

 

[David71]

Dreger is getting his ass handed to him as a supposed hockey insider by everyone.

LMAO. and his collegue is working alongside him but at least he has sources

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Would you guys do Sutter, Pouliot, 1st and a 3rd? I really want Kesler. Thanks!

I wouldn't do it. Would need Pouliot, Bennett and a 1st in the package.

 

[me2]

wtf.... why trade shinkaruk? unless its a huge blockbuster.

If the return was an elite young player/pick I'd have no trouble at all throwing in Shinkaruk. He's clearly not being traded for a vet or a B player through.

 

[me2]

Hoping Gillis can come away with Brett Connolly.

To TB- Hansen
To Van- Connolly

Does Vancouver get a pick with Connolly? Does Hansen even get Connolly?

I wouldn't rule it out, Connolly's game is raising a lot of question marks and the Lightning have a ton of top 6 types.

 

[Sutter16]

I wouldn't do it. Would need Pouliot, Bennett and a 1st in the package.

If you guys add Kassian/Hansen done

 

[LiquidSnake]

If you guys add Kassian/Hansen done

Kassian not a chance.

I'd probably do it if it's the best offer. I'm not jumping all over it, but it seems pretty fair.

 

[John Bender*]

Hoping Gillis can come away with Brett Connolly.

To TB- Hansen
To Van- Connolly

Connolly is still too good a prospect, imo

 

[luongo321]

If you guys add Kassian/Hansen done

Kassian?

 

[luongo321]

Vermette owns this team.

edit: wrong thread

 

[Wilch]

If you guys add Kassian/Hansen done

If you guys change the deal to Kesler, Kassian and Hansen for Malkin, done.
