OT: Trade Deadline Guessing Game

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Thought it would be a fun competition with less than a week to go. I'll put up 15 players and a bonus tie break question and poster who gets most players wth correct destinations after the trade deadline wins.

Ok, the players:

Juri Hudler
Radim Vrbata
Eric Staal
Mikkel Bodker
Shane Doan
Andrew Ladd
Keith Yandle
Jonathan Drouin
Loui Erikson
PA Parenteau
Brad Boyes
Dale Weise
Justin Schultz
Kris Versteeg
Teddy Purcell

Bonus question tiebreak: exact amount of trades that go down on deadline day ONLY. And yes, a correct destination can be remaining with current team.

Mod Note: Hey Guys just an FYI, unless there are odds as to where each player will end up this cannot be a VBookie Event with Vcash being exchanged. However this game can continue, we just need to remove the VCash part of it.

Thanks!

29 trades.

I think the Rangers target a guy like Doan but he doesn't want to make the move. IMO the Rangers target a 3rd/4th line C/W to replace Glass and eat minutes with the lead, and they get a for the 4th line that can PK.

Most interesting piece right now IMO is Moore and Hrivik. Do the Rangers uprade on Moore's role... that's a definite need imo so the question is if they address that. I think they do.

On Hrivik... looks like a great piece for another team ala Nordstrom on CAR. IMO he's trade bait, but if he keeps doing what he's been doing, he deserves a spot.

Does the coaching staff trust him in that role? We all know they have the guilty until proven innocent perspective with the youth.

Bragging rights it is. Unless we can think of a better prize. Any suggestions?

This is frightening. If the Rangers do those trades, and they don't win, the ransom they would have lost would destroy the team for a decade.

Yandle
Kreider
Staal
Bourque
Mcilrath
Halverson
Lindberg

Are the Rangers names either offered or who have interest from other teams. others like Miller have been asked for but told no..

Thanks, as always, for the info Dag.

I think it would be a big mistake to move Kreider or Mcilrath. Big mistake.

I'm surprised Shesty is on that list. I would imagine he's one of the ones teams have inquired about, and not whom the Rangers have offered first.

 

[Dagoon44]

Thanks, as always, for the info Dag.

I think it would be a big mistake to move Kreider or Mcilrath. Big mistake.

Jets are all over Mcilrath

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

For gods sake. I can see a Ladd for Mcilrath trade, now.

 

[E-Train]

Thanks, as always, for the info Dag.

I think it would be a big mistake to move Kreider or Mcilrath. Big mistake.

It would be another future crushing move. I'm disappointed to not see Dallas on that list.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I feel like Shesty's value is hard to determine, I wouldn't want to trade him until he gets more games in a better league than the VHL. I think he could be a starter in the NHL, I wouldn't want him to basically be a throw-in because he hasn't had a lot of exposure yet.

I'd only trade Kreider for an overpayment.

The rest I'd be fine with trading, if we got fair value back.

 

[Loff]

Sather to Gorts.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

How is Staal even being discussed, considering he couldn't be traded, unless he agreed to it?

Viper asked Dag on Twitter earlier and said that Kreider and Staal/Girardi are being linked.

If they trade Dylan for a 3 month rental in Ladd I am done

[Dagoon44]

Stars Want Yandle if Yandle is off table so is Dallas.

I was asked about Kreider and Rangers don't want to move him but if Staal or Danny boy agree to a team and they want Kreider they will have to take a D also .. Smart on Gorden part

I hate AV he is pushing Mcilrath out the door ... trust me on this very inside info on this one

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Would be big mistake to trade Shestyorkin. I think he's the starter after Hank is gone

 

[Kovalev27]

After watching Skjei get those mins killing penalties to me it's clear u trade Staal and keep Yandle.

Should think about trading Nash for Shattenkirk too and load up the Blueline that's how u win these days and going forward super talented back line. McDonagh Shattenkirk Yandle Girardi Skjei Klein would be very good .

Cheap wingers and Stepan brass Hayes down the middle long term
