Speculation: Panthers trade deadline rumours/general trade talk (Bobrovsky, Panarin, etc.)

[EnforceTheLaus]

So Ottawa is going to lose Duschene, Stone and Dzingel?

That team is going to be teeeeeerrrrible for years.

They don’t even have a lottery ticket this year too. They’re tanking for Colorado this year lol

Colorado should trade for one or 2 of those guys to have a better shot at a higher pick. lol

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Sounds like Duchene to CBJ is close. This is bad because if they re-sign him they'll still be a playoff threat next year.

Also good because they will be less likely to trade Bob and Panarin so they will make it to FA.

Ideally for us is they get bounced in the 1st and we trade for rights and sign before FA

 

[Gentle Man]

Ottawa is going to win only 4 games next year. Jeez.

All against Florida

I have no idea what CBJ is doing. Don't get me wrong, not trading Panarin and Bob and going for it is good for Florida as no risk of offending either guy, but like...are they aware they play Tampa? They're potentially going to lose Duchene, Panarin, and Bob for nothing and not have their 1st round pick this year just to get dummied in the 1st round lol

Best case scenario trade for Panthers for that reason and also raises value of Hoffman if he indeed is on block

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Wow Hoffman gonna return a buttload now.

 

[Gentle Man]

Imagine if CBJ miss out on the playoffs. Yeesh.

 

[I am not exposed]

Imagine if CBJ miss out on the playoffs. Yeesh.

No kidding!

The 1st round pick this year is lottery protected.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

On the other hand, maybe Florida will beat CBJ once next year? I'm shocked this trade was not contingent on Duchene signing an extension.

 

[FinlandPanther]

That is a horrible deal. Matt duchene isn’t worth all that and on top the extension makes them lose another first ayyyy carumba.

 

[Gentle Man]

No kidding!

The 1st round pick this year is lottery protected.

That's nice and all but imagine no cup, no bob, no Panarin, and No Duchene.

That's painful

Matt Douchayne doesnt even really move the needle imo.

They should have added more and gotten Stone if they really are all in.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

CBJ will not be any better next year even if Duchene signs and Ottawa will be garbage for years. Sounds good to me.

Imo no chance in hell he re-signs. They'll be bad even if he stays like you said. I admire their GM's balls but wow I guess he really wants to try an win a round this year lol

Where do you think he re-signs?

You gotta think this is his attempt to save his job.

Probably frowned upon that he may lose Bob and bread for potentially nothing.

He said f*** it...let's go

 

[RogerRoger]

Where do you think he re-signs?

The Habs is a likely spot.

Dream scenario for the Jackets is that they win the Cup and it convinces Panarin and Duchene to sign with them.

 

[Acadmus]

You might think you're exaggerating, but they seems to be going right back to square one, and they went 10-70-4 in the 84-game 92-93 season when they debuted, and didn't break 20 wins until their 5th season. So it wouldn't be unheard of for that team to completely tank.

With CBJ getting Duchene either they're keeping Panarin for their playoff run or they'll still deal him and hope Duchene allows them to still compete for a playoff berth. Guess we'll see over the next 3 days.

 

[pb1300]

If I was a Columbus fan, and Panarin and Bob were still with the team Tuesday morning, I’d be PISSED! You have the strong potential to start off free agency without Bobrovsky, Panarin, Duchene, AND a 1st rounder. That is a major fail for a GM hoping his team can win it all, when in reality they will probably lose to TB in the first round.

 

[SufferingCatFan]

Wow Hoffman gonna return a buttload now.

Also, please do not forget Brassard, who is now arguably the top center prospect available.

Him too.

He's been underwhelming but I still think we can get a good return. Sheahan has been better imo.

Agree but Brassard has been legitimate No. 2 center and is on an expiring contract. Most of the other centers rumored to be available would cost a boatload more since they are younger and on contracts with term. I am thinking that Tallon's ask is now a first or a 2nd plus.

[pantherbot]

Call me crazy but I like what Columbus just did. They were likely going to lose panarin and bob anyways, so their best chance for a cup is this year. It sucks that they can't keep the team together and obviously they are screwed if/when they lose bob, panarin, and duschene. But nobody is in this to win a playoff round and they probably won't be getting another shot for awhile.

Maybe they go deep and convince all three to stay...super long shot. Worst case scenario they have a lot of cap space to use.
