Speculation: Trade Deadline Predictions

[BlueBaron]

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.

Has that ever happened? Has any team ever done nothing at the deadline? Does it happen all the time? Leafs always do but I cant say for everyone.

 

[57special]

Because Kovy is scoring?

Scandella to PHI makes sense in some ways, but does PHI even need him? Also, doesn't makes sense to trade away one Dman to bring in another, older one.

Josh Anderson seems similar to Dumba, but even more so. Value has to be very low, so i don't see why CBJ would be in a hurry to move, nor a team to acquire him.

Granlund should be on this list. He's expiring, should be inexpensive, and if nothing else can be an effective 3rd liner who can play all three positions. If he returns to his former self then you've got an elite distributor on your hands.

Can't get a read on what CAR is going to do.

Is BUF actually going to make a run to get into the playoffs? If so, would they do something like Haula/Granlund/Foligno for Mittelstadt? A re-signed Haula makes most sense for them, but the other two have their charms.

I think ARI will be active.

Surprised the amount of posters leaving Boston off the list. Don’t know what they’ll do but it’s something for sure.

They’ve got a logjam at LD and definitely need an actual RW that can play. Seems like a no brainer.

 

[57special]

Top 6 RW's(BOS need) are harder to get than bottom pairing LHD(which you seem to be offering). I am of the opinion that BOS Dmen perform better in BOS because of their overall sound defensive structure and goaltending, and will be exposed on the many teams in the league that do not have such a structure.

Matt Murray - Ottawa

As does toronto and Pittsburgh...[/QUOTE

Toronto wouldn’t spend the assets required to get Georgiev (Kapanen, no way), Toffoli (where is this first coming from?) and Martinez.

And then there’s the +’s required to have them all come with some retention.

there’s just no way

Imo scandella doesn’t make any sense for the flyers as cap space is limited and in all honesty who’s spot does he take? He won’t be in top 4 taking away from sanheim prov nisk or braun, and also the way myers is playing he would not take his spot, the only way I even see us acquiring a d is if we trade ghost which I don’t see happening

[RandallRitchey]

Both Jeremy Rutherford and Lou Korac made comments about Kreider and St. Louis last night, and it makes sense.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I’m going to go low ambition and predict that Ottawa and Edmonton make a deal.

Any future SC 2020 winners to Washington?

 

[405Exit]

Surprised no one added a few Defenseman from Anaheim on the list.

We have Michael Del Zotto UFA and Korbinian Holzer UFA. Both rentals.

What is LA getting back from Toronto? Because it better be a lot with both Martinez and Toffoli going there with retention.

And why would the Kings be getting Turris? Unless it comes with a large add they shouldn't be adding long term salary

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Allot of fans are leaving Tampa off and I’m not sure why.

They have an extra 1st round pick and the pressure to win is on more then ever.

What do they need? They seem to be blasting on all cylinders now - would they want to mess with the chemistry right now?

Ain't gonna happen

 

[Michoulicious]

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.

You got my vote.

 

[zcaptain]

Demko to NJ for Arizona 1st
Schaller to Boston for a 4th
Baertschi @ 50% to Pittsburgh for a 3rd
Tanev to Toronto for Kapanen
Eriksson to Ottawa for Kapanen + Pitts 3rd
Benn to Dallas for Polak

A guy like Kyle Clifford could suit them well.
