Who is going to be a Dallas Star come next week?

I'm gonna say Zuccarello, Johannson, and McQuaid.

Backup plan: Dzingel, Burakovsky, Ceci

Zuccarello
Panarin
Hayes
Kreider
Stone
Duchene
Dzingel
Johannson
Burakovsky
Toffoli
Namestnikov
Simmonds
Nyquist
Henrique
Silfverberg
Brassard
Hoffman
Someone else?

Dmen:
McQuaid
Martinez
Green
Shattenkirk
Edler
Tanev
Ceci
Hamilton
Faulk
Someone else?

Or....no one at all?

 

[Satan]

McQuaid? I just threw up in my mouth

 

[Satan]

I only want Matt Duchene, is that asking for too much?????

 

[Ragernschnapple]

How about a Wings-Stars blockbuster where Dallas acquires Andreas Athanasiou, Gustav Nyquist, & Thomas Vanek?

 

[MBTendy]

Surprised some of you think Nill will actually pull off two trades. I could see him being satisfied with just getting one top 6 forward and think that’ll be enough.

 

[M88K]

Why would we add Ceci, he's barely(if any) an upgrade on Oleksiak

 

[Kcb12345]

McQuaid? I just threw up in my mouth

Nill's type of guy, although it wouldn't make sense at all to acquire him if they want a top 4 dman so hopefully it doesn't happen...

 

[Kcb12345]

Ideally we won't, but I could see it happening

I’ll go Burakovsky plus a cheap rental.

Basically whoever is left right at the Deadline. Someone that won’t require a 1st.
Maybe Brassard, Johansson, Dzingel.

Backup Plan: Chaisson, Vanek, Hagelin

Prediction Is Burakovsky & Brassard

 

[BrettHullsToe]

I think the Stars get one of the cheaper forwards (Nyquist or Silfverberg are my guesses), and a defenseman no one expected.

Ranger fan...I tell you looking at the stat of GA you guys are second....and goals scored 3rd from bottom. Common sense says you need scoring. I remembered a game earlier in the season at msg you guys looked like a shut down team. Tight gaps,tough,size and grit. You should try to go for it. Hayes and Zuke is exactly what you need.

It would give us a 2nd line that's for sure. I'd love to somehow get them both but not sure Nill has that same plan (he wants a top 4 dman, so unlikely he targets 2 high end top 6 guys). They both make so much sense though and would be good fits

Errr...this team doesn't believe in common sense. Have you seen its drafting?

 

[Dynamite Time]

When the Cowboys this past season needed a wide receiver Jerry Jones at least went out and picked one up.

What you gonna do Nill? Wait till the deadline and get another bottom six forward, maybe a top 4 d-man.

Screw it, we’re done anyways.

Sure carried the cowboys deep into the playoffs.. oh. Wait. Um..

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Surprised some of you think Nill will actually pull off two trades. I could see him being satisfied with just getting one top 6 forward and think that’ll be enough.

That's all I can see him doing, as well. For a guy not willing to give up future assets to make 2 such deals would be strange, even given a probably directive from TG to do something. Besides, why add D? Seems like you keep your strength and add to your weakness. While the D isn't perfect, only a few teams go into the playoffs without some weak areas of the roster.

See where Neal got hurt last night, sadly putting CAL in the FW trade game, and thus raising prices even more, which further limits Nill's options.

 

[Satan]

Lol

 

[Satan]

Nill better go all in, get buck wild let’s go bud one week fire it up

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

I do find myself wondering about their interest in Panarin. They need a goal scorer, and even Nyquist and a few others seem to have more assists than goals. If we can't finish on passes from our current guys, why do we think we will be able to finish on Nyquist's passes any better? Seems like we ought to go for the best pure goal scorer out there and hope he gets or stays hot for the last 20+ games.

Or, like Tavares and Karlsson, maybe its just an old school PR move to tell fans, well at least we tried.

Oh well, either way, based on history, I am headed for my least productive week of the year....sad face.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Sure carried the cowboys deep into the playoffs.. oh. Wait. Um..

They at least made the playoffs and won a game. Stars look they’re going fall out and miss the postseason all together. I think Colorado will make a trade, get a surge and grab one wild card spot leaving one open. Looks like Vancouver will get second if the Stars don’t pull their head out of their ass.

Hope I’m wrong

Shapiro says a rental Panarin would cost something around:

2019 1st
Robertson
Hintz/Gurianov
And more.

I'd rather target Zuccarello and Hayes for even cheaper and take a chance at re-signing them and give us a legit full 2nd line I think...that's a hefty but realistic price for Panarin that I'm just not sure is worth the risk although he'd be arguably our best player.

Or target Zuccarello and Hoffman or something

How do we fit Zucc and Hayes under the limbo stick

 

[Satan]

I just want Duchene

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Even if it isn't the top rentals we need to get something else so we don't play Ritchie/Nichushkin etc. At the very least bring in some fresh blood.
