Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency XX

[AKL]

Good luck with Jones, assuming the rumours are true. He's good middle 6 depth, reasonably reliable and decently tenacious on the forecheck. Still no news about what Minnesota traded in order to acquire him.

If David ****ing Jones even comes close to playing in our middle six when we're healthy I'll puke.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Got a 2nd then?

Yeah, years from now.

 

[nickschultzfan]

things are a little quiet, a little too quiet.

yeah, he looks a little Ralph, a little too Ralph

Excellent TMNT reference.

Got a 2nd then?

Not until 2018.

 

[Engebretson]

Yeah, I'm going to need to see a tweet or something on this David Jones business.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Source?

No idea who this is but he reported some trades before TSN did. By minutes of course but yeah

 

[Wild11MN]

Yeah, someone got a source on Jones?

I saw it on I think a CGY radio stations twitter, they cited Sportsnet, but I haven't seen it anywhere else.

How would picking up a 4th liner/healthy scratch mean one of our top defensemen is gone?

because I could see the explanation of selling him to us as a means of using Brodin to get RNH or Yak.

"We are sad to see Brodin go, but we need scoring and RNH/Yak bring that to us. We brought it Jones as a gritty guy who gives all of his heart when playing and should help us fill the void in Jonas's absence and he plays a good defensive game"

Chuck loves himself some grinders.

 

[Minnesota]

The only "source" I'm seeing cited about Jones is from this account: https://twitter.com/SportsOn770

There aren't any current live tweets mentioning Jones. Until it's been confirmed by a vetted source, I'm thinking it's all hearsay.

 

[AKL]

Looks like the tweet was deleted though so I'm thinking it's either part of a bigger deal or not actually happening.

 

[00xtremeninja]

we pick up Allen and Jones plus Brodin for RNH/Yak

 

[Engebretson]

Yeah, I don't see anything on Sportsnet's Twitter account about Jones being dealt.

 

[kfan22]

Seriously what is taking so long??? its 45 minutes past the deadline on a day where only a handful of deals were made

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Watch it be just be another AHL deal.

 

[Wild11MN]

They're making sure the salary cap works on our trade for McDavid.

But yeah, taking forever.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Mcginn to Anaheim

 

[tomgilbertfan]

 

[Wild11MN]

McGinn to Anaheim, so it's not him.

 

[00xtremeninja]

well, dodged that bullet

 

[TheeNorthStar]
