Value of: The guy you're terrified of trading?

[GermanSpitfire]

It’s definitely Mete for Habs fans

Terrified of trading? no one for Boston. I'll say though that I'd hate to see them sell low on Jake DeBrusk.

DeBrusk screams Reilly Smith. Young guy who had some success and struggled with maturity and grows up and goes on to be very good top 6 guy. Terrified, like you say, isn’t the right word, but I think the team would want to avoid a Jimmy Hayes type deal again!

Who is the struggling player in your system that you're absolutely terrified of trading, because they might explode somewhere else and make you look like a fool for moving them?

Nolan Patrick

Have to wonder just how much the isolation due to covid protocols affected him. Young gun, no family or significant other, no real team functions that weren't practice or games.

I don't think this post is unfair at all. I'd agree with your list, but I'd replace Valimaki with Hanifin. Valimaki looked unreal outside the NHL, but so far he has resembled the dumpster fire that has burned in Edmonton since 1962.

1962 might be a bit harsh, no?

For whatever reason, I’m not a Hanifin fan. I can’t put my finger on what it is, just not a fan. He has been better this year but is that progression in his game or playing with one of the better defensive Dmen in the game with Tanev? (I can’t believe I missed Tanev in my list of Flames that I value)

I feel that, this being Valamaki’s first full NHL season, he has done ok. I like some little things in his game but also acknowledge he has some flaws that I think he will overcome with experience.

Nolan Patrick

He's gonna look solid in Edmonton next year.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Kotkaniemi.

 

[Blaine8797]

He's gonna look solid in Edmonton next year.

Highly doubtful

 

[bellringer77]

I was was scared of losing Mantha before the trade. He was our most talented goal scorer by far. Now I would have to say Hronek. He didn’t have the best year but he was on an absolutely terrible team. The wings were worse then the standing show. He isn’t a number one guy but in a team with a better supporting cast he would be a huge piece to have

 

[Prairie Habs]

I'll say Drouin, but for the opposite reason. I hope he can go out and succeed somewhere else away from all the BS.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Benning has been terrified to trade Virtanen for 7 years.

He should have been gone long ago.

 

[Czechboy]

Caleb Jones
Tyler Benson
Evan Bouchard

Jones because I think we'd get very little back for him. Benson because I think he'd be an additional piece and I'm a big fan of his play. Bouchard because he should've been a regular in the NHL this season and if we trade him (which I hope never happens) then we are trading low!

 

[EspenK]

Emil Bemstrom & Alexander Texier for sure. Laine & Domi as maybes.

 

[McJedi]

Conor Timmins. He’s played so so well the past 15 games. So many flashes of high end transition and passing skills. Great handles. High hockey IQ. Good compete level. RHD with a good shot.

he appears to have reestablished himself with the Avs as a future middle pair role. Has played like the high end prospect he was touted to be.

Second is Newhook. Holy hell is he fast. He’s obvious on most shifts.

 

[McJedi]

Ugh as an Avs fan, I'd love to snag him off your hands but there's almost no way the Wild would trade him to us. I guess from the Avs, I'd fear trading Timmins because I can see him turning into a real solid defenseman.

Greenway may get exposed to Seattle.

 

[Huffer]

Nils Lundkvist

Legit question, why would Lundkvist even be a guy that could be traded?

 

[Tkachuky]

Once Calgary trades Monahan he's going to explode and score more than his career high of 34 G's,just like the Bennett tradr

I don't think we will trade Moanhan and quite frankly I could see him being here his whole career like Backs.

 

[DomBarr]

It’s definitely Mete for Habs fans

they were so terrified of trading him they waived and lost him for free..

 

[DomBarr]

This thread screams Sam Bennett but thats already happened

 

[DontLaughAtThat]

Legit question, why would Lundkvist even be a guy that could be traded?

Because the Rangers want to be more competitive now and for them that means going after a big center this offseason

 

[Name Nameless]

Keller, maybe Schmaltz and we better not be trading Garland.

Was certainly thinking Schmaltz. A 50-points pace this season, I really think he might explode somewhere else. For Keller, that's not a "might", but a certain thing, so he isn't the right answer for me.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Legit question, why would Lundkvist even be a guy that could be traded?

Logjam of defense prospects and a need for a top 6 center

 

[Accelleratii]

no one.

 

[dredeye]

Terrified of trading? no one for Boston. I'll say though that I'd hate to see them sell low on Jake DeBrusk.

Pretty me much what I was going to say. Him or Senyshin

 

[CanadienShark]

Hertl. He's such a great player. I think people realize he's good, but not how great he really is.

Wouldn't say he's struggling per se, but I think he could produce more.
