Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency XIX

I wonder if Boeddker going to COL will push Fletch to make a move...

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Hope they overpaid

 

[HollaHaula]

Yeah Colorado, let's not fix that defense that consistently loses you games.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Ha. Good.

Well he is not a good possession player either so he will fit in with them just fine.

Bleackley: 23rd overall in 2014. 41 points in 47 games for Red Deer in WHL.

Wood: 6'5'' 209lb 19 year old.. 84th overall in 2014. 35 points in 40 games for North Bay in OHL

So, Colorado just traded their 1st and 3rd round picks from 2014 and a fading vet in Tanguay for what could end up being a few weeks of Boedker.

Division rivals making moves... starting to think Fletch might force something.

Nothing like adding a defensemen that can't play D to that defense.

 

[Nharris31]

I don't see how Kris Russell helps Dallas.

From Russo

I'm told by sources that the Wild has gotten a lot of calls today on both Brodin and Zucker, although they're not being "shopped." For the Wild to make an impactful trade with one of the Edmonton young forwards or Loui Eriksson or Jonathan Drouin, it would have to be significant pieces going the other way.

Drouin, still to me, makes little sense. He hasn't played in a month-and-a-half. Are you really going to trade a significant fixture off you roster for somebody that probably wouldn't be able to help immediately?

Eriksson would have to be a significant move. No chance the Wild trades one of its top D for a rental unless more is coming back with Eriksson. That would seem to be a difficult move to make at this point and the Wild keeps throwing hot water on it anyway. Of course, the Wild did the same thing with Chris Stewart last year, too.

Some possible rental moves if the Wild goes that route include Jamie McGinn, David Jones and Scottie Hartnell.

Stand pat Fletcher. The trades our rivals have done probably made them worse.

Agreed.

Apparently getting calls on Zucker as well though not shopping him. My favorite player, and I just bought his jersey, so no trade please.
