Speculation: Summer 2018 Roster Discussion Part V

[Makoshark]

I don't see them making a trade for a 3 C unless nobody in camp proves they can hang in the NHL. I all bs on the Montreal rumor as they have nothing much to offer that would improve our roster right now.

 

[Friday]

Do they have a center that would be useful to us? Drouin...?

Not really haha their 3rd C is Tomas Plekanec. I really have no idea

Eklund is out of his mind. Don't be surprised if the rumors spur players on to up their game. This sounds like one of those instances. We have the potential of having one of the better 3rd lines in all of hockey that can create havok and matchup nightmares for many teams.

 

[Friday]

Montreal pretty much has nothing on their team. Looking at their lines on daily faceoff and its real bad.

 

[hockeyball]

They are going to trade us Weber so we can ice 4 #1 d-men and the forwards can pretty much just stay on the bench all game.

 

[Jargon]

I mean it’s Doug. Donskoi and True for Drouin.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Nah. If I'm moving Donskoi, it's for Mete. That way you can move Dillon confidently and have a cheap fill-in for a couple seasons.

 

[Hinterland]

They're a very talented team though with the likes of Drouin, Suzuki, Mete or Juulsen.

 

[Gecklund]

And Domi and Gallagher. Past that they have very very little. Maybe Danault and Petry the rest are bad.

 

[McDeez]

What could we realistically get for Donskoi from MTL? I just don't see them as good trade partners.

I hope DeBoer ends up running that bottom 6 with Suomela/Gambrell centering it and adjust as the season goes on. Keep that 3rd line in tact. LaBanc/Suomela/Donskoi line will hand out fits. I can hold off on trade talks until we see more from them.

 

[Jargon]

Honestly, Heed makes more sense. If they’re not impressed with him, he can potentially fetch something. But again, we need a good center (one who is obviously better than Suomela), so not sure the point.

Eh, Eklund.

Talented as in they'll probably win the lottery this year haha

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

This is kinda what I was hoping... Except salary has to go back so maybe donskoi and Braun for Drouin and a 1st round pick.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I certainly wouldn't mind Drouin on this team but we wouldn't be addressing our center questions now or long term.

 

[Jaleel619]

I think if we can find our #4C early, itll be the difference of serious cup contender or cup contender. My money is on Chartier or Alex True, PDB is looking for a 4th line that can lead the play and hem in top lines in their zone.

 

[Friday]

 

[Jaleel619]

Seriously, can we get a guy that's not trying to stir the pot? Of course talks have been non existant. We're trying to re-sign a top 5 player in the NHL! Jesus Christ.

 

[Jaleel619]

This is one of those times where you believe in the players you have, and keep them. Players like Meier, Donskoi, and Labanc don't grow off trees. I think best bet is to hope for a rookie to shine or Rick Nash deciding he wants another run. Else find somebody like we did with Eric Fehr!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Is Rick Nash even a top-6 player any more? I was wondering if he would be worth a flyer if we can sign him for 1.5M or so.

 

[Jaleel619]

We could run Nash-Hertl-Donskoi as a 3rd line.. Come on!!

 

[do0glas]

Why is everyone wanting nash? Hes probably done.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Nash isn’t a top-6 player anymore. I’d have time for him on the third line if he came very cheap on a one-year deal, though.

 

[Jaleel619]

All depends on health, my name is Jaleel though not everyone.

 

[FunkyPhin]

I remember reading somewhere that a team was offering Nash a multi-year deal worth about 15 mill and he declined. He's not coming to us for basically league minimum.

 

[Jaleel619]

If his health is that much of an issue I doubt him playing for term or money. He's playing for a cup and quality of life if he comes back.
