Speculation: Official Rumours/Fantasy Trade Offers/Armchair GM Thread: 2020-21 edition

[Gurglesons]

Becuase those players are not on Weegar’s level? If he wanted out. Different story.

Didn’t Weegar’s agent pretty much come out in October and say they were unhappy with how contract talks were going. Also Schmidt was rumored to go to Florida too.

Ofc they'd be unhappy because Tallon wasn't the one negotiating.

 

[Beezeral]

I doubt thats true.

It actually was the discussed deal. It never went down, but that was the framework.

GR, our media guy, also implied the story was false on other grounds: we weren’t shopping him like EF contended.

given that EF struck out big time on Ekblad, I don’t trust much that Inhear!

EF is actually really good at this stuff usually. I listen to just about every 31 Thoughts podcast and he's right way more often than he's wrong. But he is a little spotty when it comes to the Panthers.

I thjnk he doesn’t have many connections in Florida so he tends to speculate based on other teams. I completely get it: we don’t really have any insiders now that Batting is retired!

What do you guys think of trading for Adam Henrique from Anaheim? His cap hit is bad at $5.825 per for three more seasons, but if we can get the Ducks to retain and send them Connolly in return I think he can be a good stopgap 2C until Lundell is ready and then slot in as 3C until his contract expires.

Pass, too much dead money for too long. If his contract expired this season, then sure, but if he doesn't rebound that would be ugly. I think Cons could be gotten rid of in other ways.

He’s not a 2nd line center. He may not even be a 3rd line center anymore hard pass

He had 26 goals last year. I think he could bounce back on our team playing with Huberdeau on his wing.

Connolly had 19 goals last year. I think taking a gamble on Henrique would create more lineup issues, considering that we already have a productive 2C at less than half the cost.

You don’t risk taking on 2 more years at that cap hit hoping someone regains their form.

they would have to retain like 2 million and still take Connolly back for it to make sense so the cap hits are a wash.

I wouldn't be adding to this roster right now much anything at all, unless injuries. Maybe look at additional goal scoring at the TDL if neither Duke or Verhaege wake up by then.

Bobby Ryan has a one million dollar contract so why not try to get him.

I could see them going after him at the deadline. Also Glendenning, physical and best faceoff man in the league.

The way he’s playing right now, he’d get to pick where he wants to go... see the Lightning or Bruins grab him. Or Caps, they do well with vets.

 

[Great8Cam]

I’ve always liked his skills. Too bad we can’t grab him.

Sounds like you guys could use some Tyler Johnson

Nope

I don't know about Tyler Johnson but one Patrik Laine would be great hahaha.
Yeah not likely because Laine is RFA this summer and Jarmo Kekalainen
will do everything what he could to keep Laine in Columbus.

I'm being totally facetious. I just happened to be reading here. Tyler Johnson at this point just isn't consistent enough to be anything but a rookie insulator a la Filppula or Namestnikov.

Keep Laine away from Panthers

 

[FinlandPanther]

Keep Laine away from Panthers

Why?

 

[Mogo]

Why?

We want hard working two way players, right? Laine is a one trick pony. I never liked his attitude either (even way before NHL)

He can be insulated in this lineup. One Laine has more benefits than problems. Plus Barky would be a great influence on him.
