Speculation: Trade Deadline Predictions

[RedMenace]

Mike Green -> Injured Reserve until right after the Deadline. Again.

 

[MasterMatt25]

No way Kovalchuck stays with the Habs

I could see him staying. Especially if management is blind and thinks we have a shot at playoffs. He should get dealt tho.

 

[stardog]

Top 20 guys off of TSN Trade Bait List, I added Fast at the end because I think he'll end up being on this list, who you think these guys end up with? Here are my predictions:

Chris Kreider - NYR - COL
Alec Martinez - LAK - TOR
Ilya Kovalchuk - MTL - PIT
JG Pageau - OTT - EDM
Alexandar Georgiev - NYR - TOR
Tyler Toffoli - LAK - DAL
Shayne Gostisbehere - PHI - VGK
Sami Vatanen - NJD - ARI
Andreas Athanasiou - DET - NYI
Carolina 1st Round Pick - CAR - MIN for Dumba
Brendon Dillon - SJS - DAL
Alex Galchenyuk - PIT - FLA
Ron Hainsey - OTT - EDM
Ryan Donato - MIN - NYR
Robin Lehner - CHI - CHI
Craig Smith - NSH - VAN
Kyle Turris - NSH - NSH
Marco Scandella - MTL - PHI
Josh Anderson - CBJ - CAR
Jeff Petry - MTL - MTL
Jesper Fast - NYR - TBL

Don't get why I have seen this a few times recently...The Pens had the option 6 weeks ago to pick him up freely and declined. Nor is he a Sullivan player so this just ain't happening bruh!

Blues have better players coming back from injury. Tarasenko and Blais. Really no need for t gis guy at all (Craig smith)

 

[mikeyfan]

No way Kovalchuck stays with the Habs

Why would any team pay anything of value for him? every team had a shot at him for a million or less just a few weeks ago. So why would they give up anything over that value for him now?

 

[viper0220]

Calgary is for sure signing a winger by deadline. Who? Not sure but It’s been made clear they will use the Frolik money in a new addition.

I think they can go for a Center or a RW.

I think at the trade deadline they land Jack Eichel.

 

[puterwiz53]

The Blackhawks could move Crawford, Saad and Gus together in the right deal coming back. A number of teams are in desparate need of a starting goaltender and Crawford it still a proven starter and has played really well as of late. I doubt much happens until at least mid February as teams are so close in standings right now. A few teams will go all in to try to win the Stanley Cup and there fore players get moved for far more than anyone ever expected. I will wait til mid February to predict where players may go at the deadline.

[Off Sides]

I predict after every trade each thread about that trade will have 3 pages of hot takes followed by 4 pages of sporadic logical reasoning mixed in with more hot takes.

By page 8, maybe before, there will be several fans of different teams bickering back and forth about who's team has the better players even if those players have nothing to do with that trade or the thread in general.

They'll be attempted insults, one-upmanship and jokes. Some of which will be funny or even insightful, yet the majority will be fails. All the threads, even those pertaining to inconsequential trades will dissolve into one giant mess of unintelligible gibberish by their ends.

what in the ????

 

[bukwas]

Should see some of the bigger moves trickle in soon.

 

[GOilers88]

Because dreger says so? He has no sources about Minnesota. Russo literally said wild aren't making any trades just today on his podcast and that if anyone moves, it will be Zucker.

And Poile assured everyone he wouldnt fire his HC. People say one thing and do another all the time.

 

[Hockeyfan200]

And Poile assured everyone he wouldnt fire his HC. People say one thing and do another all the time.

Once again wild aren't trading Dumba for just a pick. It will be overpayment

 

[mti79]

Pitt doesnt touch ilya.
Can see leafs and LA
Alex G to Calgary
Kreider to oilers ..
Lehner stays put
Hainsley to leafs ???

Wait? Are you suggesting the kovi won't go to Pittsburgh but that LA may trade for him? That's how this reads isn't it?

 

[themelkman]

Can you imagine if LA traded for him

 

[inthe6ix]

Oilers make lots of trades eh?

 

[Byrddog]

Other than Kreider the rest are Meeehhhh. Of the ones that are movable. Every team going into the playoffs needs a spare or two but this group is underwhelming. From washed up older guys to players who have little PO experience to guys teams want to move just because.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Oilers make lots of trades eh?

I see Puljujarvi being one of those trades, I see the Oilers trying too hard to make the playoffs and going crazy at the deadline.

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

I see Puljujarvi being one of those trades, I see the Oilers trying too hard to make the playoffs and going crazy at the deadline.

Ken Holland is quite reserved. Would be neat to see the Oilers push hard though.

 

[Rico Suave]

Why would any team pay anything of value for him? every team had a shot at him for a million or less just a few weeks ago. So why would they give up anything over that value for him now?

because hes perfoming well and every team can afford him tf he was bad with the kings but hes proving to everyone that hes still a good player that can help a playoff team

 

[mikeyfan]

because hes perfoming well and every team can afford him tf he was bad with the kings but hes proving to everyone that hes still a good player that can help a playoff team

he failed with the kings he is doing well with the Habs, how does anyone know he will do well with them? or will he pout like he did in LA?

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Oilers make lots of trades eh?

As does toronto and Pittsburgh...
