Value of: Pekka Rinne

[maplepred]

Skinner likely has a lot more value. Rinne if moved would be a move for the sake of moving him, not for the return. I would think a 2nd or third rd pick given his age and contract status.

I would think a goalie that wins the vezina is worth more than a second or third to a team that just needs a goalie to make a run. Regardless of age.

maybe at the deadline as a 1b option. Depends whose buying.

Philly?

Still you'd have to agree that skinner has more value

At the TDL? Yes, assuming a contender didn't just have their 1A get injured.

Right now? They're about as even as you can get.

Alright when fans of both teams tell you you're wrong its time to bow out of the conversation. I would have thought Skinner had more value.

probably does, just not for us. we already have Forsberg, Fiala and Tolvanen at left wing.

Tolvanen is a RW.

 

[FameFlame069]

Mike Smith + 3rd/4th for Rinne

Bobrovsky?

Columbus tired of Playoff Bob despite loving Regular Season Bob? Could save a bit on the cap this way too.

Other one for one swaps...

Schneider? He's a little worse but a bit cheaper and a bit younger.

Allen? Even younger and even cheaper but not as proven.

 

[Isles72]

if you take back Greiss (platoon with Saros)I'd consider the isles 2x second round picks (their own+calgarys)

 

[NoNecksCurse]

Tolvanen is a RW.

LW

 

[Djp]

don't see him getting traded unless he says this is his last year no matter what and nashvuille looks like they wont make the playoffs.

in a trade---2nd+ salary coming back or retention. the pick turns into a 1st if team advanced in the playoff to like conference finals with Rhinne playing

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

If only he was available.

 

[Maukkis]

I see Mike Smith as the best comparable. An old goalie who is definitely a great starter. However, I would expect Rinne to fetch a little more than Smith did.

 

[Stuzchuk]

as per THIS, he's should be in NAS next season, while seing an increase in Saros' game play but we've all heard that before...

my guess he's playing next season for the Preds and it's the last one in NAS for Rinne (NHL?)

I wouldn't guess it's the last one for Rinne in NAS. Who knows really. See what kind of season he has and what the split is. A lot can happen. I didn't expect him to win the Vezina this year either... he was looking kind of shaky last season and I thought Saros would push him this year. Instead, we're all talking about that happening next year. Or what if it happens the year after... ?

I do get the sense that Rinne is very comfortable in Nashville and with his team, and that he takes his mentoring role to Saros to heart. So I can definitely see him sticking around for a new contract as the "veteran backup" type. If I'm guessing. But if he has a great year and other teams are willing to look at him as a short-term #1 option, then he'd be crazy not to take big money on a new contract.

The one thing that I truly do not expect: Nashville ever trading Rinne. He may stay as a veteran backup, he may stay as a starter, he may go as a free agent starter to a nice offer elsewhere, he may even go back home. But a trade at any point would shock me.

You clearly know your players.

your sarcasm makes you look daft.

go to a jokerit board where he played a full season in the KHL and ask what position he is and see how dumb you feel.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

He's LW, actually. Even i had to check it and yep. Even in the Jokerit line ups he's marked as the LW. What happens of course is that he starts LW and shifts to RW in the offensive zone.

i'm guessing he's a natural LW who plays on the right side of the PP for his one timer ability, which is where we mainly see highlights from.

This is correct. Lots of people think he’s a RW because of all his highlights on the PP. He’s played LW in the KHL and olympics.
