Speculation: Roster Building Thread LI: Something happen, please...

[True Blue]

Regardless, Kreider should not be the captain.

That is an entirely different debate.

 

[Jackpot]

Could be one simple thing delaying any trade announcements. Maybe to add a little something to the draft (let's face it, usually pretty underwhelming after the top ten..) they've asked for trades to be announced during the draft to keep/increase viewership.. Total speculation of course, but it would keep you wiggling in your seat...Good marketing strategy anyway

We're not "shopping" him - teams are interested in acquiring him.

I think is an important Tweet to post here, for the first part:



Shopped and listening are two different things.

I love Subban, I just wish he wasn't so old.

Just heard an interesting trade rumor via an NHL source that would involve #NYR goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Trying to get more info now, but not sure I can imagine the King anywhere else but in New York! Wow!

Makes sense since all the Kakko/Hughes talk is just a smokescreen for Spencer Knight.

Haha you guys are soooo locked in on this thread

That zucc resigned with Dallas over 25 minutes ago and it still hasn’t been mentioned here

I dont see a credible source reporting it

The only person reporting that on Twitter is Boob Mckenzie

Can't find anything anywhere.

Why would it be okay to leave Vesey, Name, Fast as possible deadline sales, yet not also Kreider?

All of those players are younger, less valuable and cheaper to re-sign than Kreider. We can re-sign a Vesey, Names or Fast for 2 or 3 years. Kreider will be able to demand a longer, more expensive contract.

Also, Kreider is one of our best players. If we wait until the deadline to trade any of the others, it isn't going to have the same impact on the team as trading Kreider.

What is rr2.0? Lol. Seriously curious

 

[GAGLine]

I feel like the league was so dumb to delay the salary cap limit for this year and now teams are reluctant to do anything.

It's not the league, it's the NHLPA. They have to determine how much of the escalator they want.

[wafflepadsave]

Now we just need to stop being "linked" to these guys, and maybe start seeing some confirmed stickies.

That's the part that's a pain.

We can be correct on the players, and the deals, and still not see a damn thing. Because it's not our decision to make.

Plus bettman might have a gag order to wait till the draft.

I'm not sure I understand the negative implications to them selling off vets at the deadline. Seems like whoever was being bumped up to play in that spot would actually kind of be excited, as would who ever gets called-up should they need a call-up to back fill

FIFY

 

[Hire Sather]

The Zucc report is fake.

 

[CasusBelli]

Let's not put the cart before the horse. I handicap that it's 50/50 on Kreider.

I do think that there will be two forwards moved out of Vesey, Kreider, Buch and Names. However, I do not think that both Kreider and Buch will be leaving. One of them and one from the list of the rest.

Frankly, no problem ditching all but CK. The Names contract is atrocious; Jimmy is a dime a dozen; 89 rarely impresses.

 

[Kovalev27]

Fast is quietly like 30 years old. We better not pay him a cent after this contract expires. He should be a goner. Has completely fallen apart physically.

Good to see I was on the train for 45 mins and nothing happened
