Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XXI

[East Coast Bias]

Why does Dallas make that trade? Cogs is just a warm body with a NTC about to kick in. And 8 years older than Shore.

They're a poorly run team?

It's not a great move taking on 2 years after this season for him.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Wraparound king!!!

Now plays in the Korean league, but I was sitting behind him last season when he was playing for Amur against Jokerit in Helsinki

Yup, he's been lighting it up over in Korea.

I've been trying to get one of his Daemyung Killerwhales Jersey's.

 

[Kupo]

Definitely a weird move. Cogs fills out their 3rd line? I think there would have been younger 3rd line options available.

Maybe Cogs can do magic tricks in the locker room like Zuccarello?

 

[NewLife]

Random things like that happen without planning sometimes. When I attended a Sparta Prague game in November, I saw Steven Delisle play. And at a KHL game in October I met Mikhail Pashnin while we were in line to order beers

Have been planning to go to some game here in Chamonix, kinda have to just to check out the French league. Not expecting much though and that's a good thing you saying?

Textbook example of a shake up trade. Reminds players that they're replaceable without sacrificing any guys you actually care about as a GM.

I shouldn't judge. I am flying to Belgrade (Div2A), Tallinn (Div1B) and Astana (Div1A) for World Championships tournaaments with teams nobody usually cares about. I just love hockey and if I can combine that with visiting a new exciting city (like Riga last weekend), even better

If he had a NTC about to kick in, Dallas wouldn't be bound to it.

Oh yeah for sure, but there had to be better options.

True, and I realized it's already in effect, he has a 6 team no trade list. Not super restricting. Still don't like it for Dallas.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Would be nice if JG could get out in front of the TDL and set the market.

He won't as he likes to wait until the last second to do things, but I think that would be a mistake this year.

I believe when a team trades you to a team not covered by a partial no trade list, the new team isn't bound by any of it.

That and its bad for the tank... all these games count the same. Don't be fooled. Wins in october count the same as wins in march

Locker room culture

Locker room culture

I'd say it's a pretty significant shakeup too in the Ducks locker room, especially with the losing streak they've been on recently. Cogs has been one of their longest-tenured players behind Getzlaf, Fowler, and Perry.

Pujuj? I will gladly take the 1st round pick. Capitalize on their desperation.

Zuccarello for 1st + Puljujarvi.

I will even throw in Vesey

I don't want Puljujarvi, but he seems like a good buy-low option and everyone seems to go crazy over him still

 

[Tawnos]

Talbot+Puljuarvi+1st for Zuccarello.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Time to pull the fleece job on em.

Zucc for Yamamoto+1

 

[McRanger]

Trading for Edmontons 1st with no lottery protection and having them collapse would be epic.

Even if it is, I'd take their 1st next year.

It's either likely a lottery pick this year or one next year. Either is A OK with me.

 

[Thirty One]

I wonder how much they'd pay to give Spooner back.

 

[Tawnos]

Also... how are their scouts not already aware of who is out there?

I think they know whose out there, they're just going to get a look at how guys are going right now.

Anyone (and by that I mean RB) know if Edmonton has been tailing the Rangers?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Gorts trying to sell multiple forwards.. He has to find a fit here right? We know they already know eachothers phone numbers..

There is also definitely something to be said about spreading out these prospects a bit, when it comes to future cap maneuvering.
