Trade Deadline - 02.25.2019

[Billy Kvcmu]

Does anybody else feel like Benning is saving all his picks for something bigger?

trading for 1st OA like you suggested?
No

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

What do we need to give up to land a Mark Stone?

Money in the summer.

9.5mil x 7yrs

Htpothetically tho if we want him now...probably Hughes , 1st 2019 and Dahlen back to Ottawa.

I feel like he is going to move up in the draft to get in the top3-5 and try and get Byram.

 

[Jack Burton]

No

you don't think this regime would target Jack Hughes in this year's draft?

Why?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Why?

Because we already have EP and Bo down the middle for the next decade, we aren’t lacking top 6 C badly. And I do believe this ownership group is not that dumb

No one is paying that much for a rental. That's insane

Not really. Top prospect and 1st rnd pick is not uncommon as the return

Arguably the best prospect in the NHL. A pick in the 5 to 10 range and a B prospect. Yes that is insane. Not even Benning is that bad

Q Hughes isn't even in the NHL so I dont know how he's the best prospect in the NHL.

I'm a Hughes fan but let's pump the breaks a little.

Prices are crazy at deadline.

My case in point... you call Dahlen a "B" prospect...... Ottawa paid that for Over the hill Burrows..

That right there should tell you what it would cost for a Stone.

That’s an overpayment. Whens the last time a rental got traded for that much?

1st+madden+ something small like a conditional 3rd would be a fair deal, considering our #1 will most likely be a mid 1st.

 

[bossram]

What I hope happens(nothing that crazy even)
Trade Guddy
Trade Granlund
Trade pouliot

For those trades, go ahead and aquire manning, and draft picks.

Would be a win for me imo.

I really hope we trade high with Troy though, With Quinn he was coming up, we can only have so many small defenceman is in my opinion.

I like Troy a lot, I think we could get a pretty decent value from him.

No thanks. On a team devoid of quality young defensemen, why would we trade one of the few we have?

I don't think Stecher's perceived value is that high. His value to the team is much larger, as a guy who can credibly play tough minutes, PK, and move the puck. He's a great battler too.

"Too many small players" is a fallacy. If they're good players, I want them. Boston has both Krug and Grzelyck in the lineup and they're doing just fine. And it's not like Stecher is tiny, he weighs nearly 190 pounds.

 

[Hemty]

I feel that we'll add something this deadline. The directive from Aqua will be "We're close to the playoffs! Lets go for it!"

Hughes was number one on Pronmans list. And most firsts that will get moved are late ones, not top 10 picks. Your price is insane. I'd take that type of return for a guy like Boeser

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Simth-Pelli on waiver, didn't see that coming
Claim him and get rid of Granlund

DSP hasn't been very good, though I'd probably prefer him to Granlund. He's a typical 4th liner who needs to be sheltered. At one time I liked him as a player but his game has fallen off.

 

[Fire Benning]

I think depending on what Minnesota does ahead of the deadline could impact what the Canucks, if Minny sells hard I could see us wanting to add more aggressively.

[Ninjadude]

I get the feeling the Nucks are going to do nothing at the TDL, or perhaps a small trade(s) to tinker with the bottom 6.

I think they should trade Edler, as he is probably their best trade chip. He could command a 1st, but depending on the team, that 1st will be closer to a 2nd. So what about high end prospects..? If we traded him to a contender such as Vegas, would they give up Brannstrom or another one of their top prospects? How about TB for Foote. That all said, he doesnt want to leave, but JB should try pushing him out as he really isnt a core piece in 2 or 3 years, but a young high end prospect would be!

Lots already said about Sutter, Granlund, Gudbransom, Shaller, Pouliot and Goldy. Move any of them for whatever you can get! Is Tanev a core piece in a few years? Probably not with all those injuries, so trade him if a decent offer comes along (yes, i know a 'decent' offer is subjective, especially when it comes from JB!)! All these guys should have been traded already (or not signed as free agents) and we have diminished our assets because we held onto to them too long!

Ca'mon JB, do something to make this team better!

 

[Bettman Returnz]

This is one of the few seasons I’d be ok if we made minimal to no TDL deals. Especially if it means taking back trash. May as well stand pat and keep our own; rather than accumulate more similar junk. Can’t trust JB’s trade making abilities.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I'm not expecting a whole lot..Maybe Granlund for a mid to late pick.

 

[Fire Benning]

It's pretty sad that we should be looking to be sellers despite being in year 5 of Benning's tenure, and yet their pro scouting has been so porous that they barely have any desirable pieces to sell. Truly the double whammy of inept management.

 

[Fire Benning]

What do we need to give up to land a Mark Stone?

$$$

 

[xtra]

How would posters here feel if benning went out and acquired a win now ufa piece using next years picks as capital or young prospects?

 

[lush]

Benning does not seem capable of acquiring picks in his trades. If any year he does it, this is the year -but I doubt he can really.
So then it seems to me we might do a "hockey trade" and exchange some junk tweeners with someone. But because Benning considers them hockey trades, it's like he's allowed to ignore incoming guys contract and cap implications. So hockey trades are almost guaranteed to worsen our cap situation.

But what can he possibly sell for draft picks?
