Speculation: Trade & Free Agency Talk XLI

[57special]

I would consider giving up Boldy and Rossi for PLD. Wouldn't be crazy about it. Would prefer to give up Rossi and a 1st, and maybe a guy like Menell. As I've said before Dumba doesn't have much value at this point due to his contract and lack of production. CBJ would want a C back, or a high end C prospect.

Barzal you would definitely have to give both, and a first. It would be possible that Dumba could be included, since they wouldn't have to pay Barzal, but would NYI then lose him in the Seattle ED?

 

[ThatGuy22]

I don't think PLD get's that kind of return. Duchene didn't, ROR didn't either time he was traded, Seguin didn't.

When the few 1C types that have been moved got moved, it wasn't for top prospects. It was combo's of current players, good prospects, or former top prospects that had already started to show their warts in the NHL.

If the Wild were to make a move, it would be some combo of these assets I think:
Greenway
Dumba
JEE
Bonino
Jouhanson(Salary)
Beckman
Khovanov
Knusnutdinov
Addison
Menell
picks


Don't think the Wild or any team moves consensus top 15 prospects for him.

 

[kfan22]

I would not give up both 1sts for next year only because rumor has it he wants to be in a big city so giving up 2 1sts is a lot IMO for a guy under contract for 2 more years

I think at this point you have to look at Boldy and think he's the more valuable asset over Rossi.

Don’t know how you could draw this conclusion. Even if you allow recency bias to sway you, there positional value in Rossi as well.

Boldy's ability to perform at both Center and RW shouldn't go unnoticed.

He's performed at center?

Took draws on the PP at wjc

Took draws on the PP at wjc

Parise is taking draws on the PP for the wild but I'm not about to stroll him onto the ice as a center

 

[GuerinUp]

pitt 1st
JEE
Marat

Is where id start

I wouldn’t play Boldy at center either, but his ability to take faceoffs is an obvious plus.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I mean, it's been noticed it impacted his game severely at BU. Which is why his game took off when moved to wing at BU.

I thought that was more of a line mate issue. When he played center was had lower quality linemates. When he was moved to wing he was playing with better players. Just what i've heard since I don't want college hockey till the frozen four.

 

[keppel146]

The wjc also got me thinking I’d want to make a hockey trade with the avs for Barron or helleson.

That's assuming Rossi can play center in the NHL

 

[ThatGuy22]

Sounds like Corey Crawford is hanging them up. Missing from camp 2nd day in a row for personal reasons. Zajac's quotes imply he's deciding if he wants to play.

Goalie market exists of basically soley Jimmy Howard's corpse.

Time for some extortion Hammond for a 4th.

Crawford should hang them up. He's done.

Correct

 

[ThatGuy22]

He still put up a .917 last year. Staying healthy has been his biggest problem. Him or Greiss were my preferred targets over the summer.

 

[AKL]

Too many variables in play to safely conclude that playing center is what held him back, and the move to wing is what allowed him to take off. Not to mention this completely disregards the eye test,

The defense in front of him was rather underrated. He was terrible in the playoffs in the summer too, but the defense in front of him made his job easier, his slowness was good enough that some said he played so great because of the "numbers" alone.

Chicago was 30th in xGA and HDSCA, and 31st in SCA.

Under-rated? They were last in basically any defensive statistic kept last year?

Shots against, scoring chances against, high danger scoring chances against, xGA/60. They managed to be only 6th worst in CA/60.

They let up a ton of shots, and a ton of high quality shots.

I mean, even Keith is a turnstyle at this point.

Look at their D zone shot chart

Pulling a .917 out of that is nothing short of impressive.

Gotta factor in the covid, WPG played an extra game.

 

[DANOZ28]

rumors WPG; MTL; BOS; CAR all interested in PLD so if you want him no chance hes a bargain.
