Speculation: Trade Game

[Frenzy31]

Well, it is that time of year again - as we role down to the draft on Friday, I think we can all agree that this team is due for a shake up. (LIKELY THE ONLY TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE BOARD THAT THE ENTIRE FAN BASE AGREES ON THIS).

So I figured, let have a little fun: In the 12 years I have been part of this board, I have seen a total of 1 trade called (where most of the assets moved on either team were called ahead of time by a poster).

You mission - should you chose to accept it is list the Player and team where the player will be traded to - along with the return. This Thread will self destruct on Saturday.

Good luck.

I'll bite...

To Arizona
Berglund

To STL
2nd round pick (60 overall)

 

[MissouriMook]

To WSH: TJ Oshie, RFA rights to Magnus Paajarvi, #94 OA
To STL: Jakub Vrana, #22 OA

 

[Frenzy31]

Maybe if I had offered Vcash for the winner??

Here are my best and bad guesses.

Berglund is going to Phoenix

Return will be pick 33 and a 2nd in 2016 or Letunov


Oshie will be wearing a Detroit Redwings jersey - where he will promptly go on to win the cup.

Some combination of Tatar and Mantha/Bertuzzi.

I expect to be disappointed so.....

#1 Oshie to Boston for Eriksson and a small plus (3rd, 75)
#2 Berglund to Pittsburgh for Bluegar (or another mid tier forward prospect) and a 2016 3rd
#3 Rattie and 2015 2nd and 2016 3rd to Ottawa for Anderson
#4 After draft Elliott to Wild for bag of pucks and a snickers bar, he comes back to beat us in 1st round next year.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the Snickers bar in the 4th trade was an ice cream snickers bar, which has better value. However, it melted before we got it.

 

[KirkOut]

Patrik Berglund to EDM for a 3rd round pick this year and a 4th round pick next year

 

[Alklha]

Agree with the idea of Berglund to Arizona. Maybe for the 60th & 81st? Or Berglund & 56th for the the 32nd & 81st?

 

[Captain Creampuff]

To WSH: TJ Oshie, RFA rights to Magnus Paajarvi, #94 OA
To STL: Jakub Vrana, #22 OA

Oooh, I could see this possibly happening.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Oshie and #56 for Andre Burakovsky and #22

Berglund for Gormley

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Out of left field I'm calling Oshie to Detroit for Tatar straight up.

 

[tfriede2]

Oshie to Detroit for Mantha and a 2015 3rd.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Oshie to Detroit for Mantha and a 2015 3rd.

I'd be pretty disappointed with that.

 

[SirPaste]

STL: Oshie Gunnarson and Rattie
EDM: Eberle and a 2nd

 

[Captain Creampuff]

I'll predict Oshie straight up for Okposo.

 

[tfriede2]

I'd be pretty disappointed with that.

Well, it's not necessarily what I want, but what I think might happen. I'd choose Pulkkinen over Mantha.

I agree. I think there could be a deal worked out based around Oshie and Pulkkinen. If Oshie is going, it really needs to be centered around an NHL ready prospect.

 

[Multimoodia]

I fully expect to see Oshie traded for the ghost of Claude Lemieux and Glenn Anderson.

 

[g91]

Oshie to Washington with Johansson and a pcik coming back

 

[Alklha]

I hope I'm proven wrong, but I think some of you are going to be disappointed with what Oshie returns.

I'd be surprised if we targeted Pulkkinen. Very skilled, but he doesn't have the speed element that we've been lacking.

 

[HockeyGuy73]

Oshie and Binnnington to Florida for the number 11 overall.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Oshie for Yandle

 

[2 Minute Minor]

I fully expect to see Oshie traded for the ghost of Claude Lemieux and Glenn Anderson.

Regular sized Glenn Anderson?

 

[2 Minute Minor]

I hope I'm proven wrong, but I think some of you are going to be disappointed with what Oshie returns.

I'd be surprised if we targeted Pulkkinen. Very skilled, but he doesn't have the speed element that we've been lacking.

I hope we're also surprised at how easily his production is replaced/surpassed...but not so optimistic.

 

[LUF]

As much as I like Pulkkinen, picking him over Mantha is a little crazy... Except maybe if the sole purpose of the trade is this upcoming season.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I'd be surprised if we targeted Pulkkinen. Very skilled, but he doesn't have the speed element that we've been lacking.

If that's the case, then Armstrong is basically cementing his status as an idiot. He should easily be able to extract good value from Oshie.
