Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency XXVI

[Victorious Secret]

Idk. Kind of a Larsson for Hall trade. Hall >>>>Larsson. But that's a dream.

 

[Bazeek]

Not sure what to make of this one...



Starting JEE at wing would imply they're looking for more than a depth center. I assume? Or maybe it's just Russo speculating based off our center depth right now.

getting Graovac back!?!?! xD

Joe Thorton......?

Russo's response to someone asking if Coyle will play wing or center.

 

[Goose312]

I'd absolutely flip if we somehow weasled Pastrnak out of Boston.

Alas, Pastrnak >>> Scandella

Maybe if we package a forward back to make space on the LW as well. Scandella + Zucker. Still not getting Pasta but hey, can dream.

Joe Thorton......?

Cullen......?

Russo's response to someone asking if Coyle will play wing or center.

I'm cool with that. If it doesn't work I guess the hope would be that JEE gets some time to get acclimated at wing and can shift over later in the season. Definitely preferable to spending assets to fill the 3C spot.

Cullen......?

Old and washed up. Wasnt good for much down the stretch for Pitt except timely penalty killing and key D zone faceoffs.

Russo's response to someone asking if Coyle will play wing or center.

I don't mind Coyle at center, but I think that should be the backup plan if Eriksson Ek can't handle it right away. Not something that's decided in June.

 

[Victorious Secret]

For how many times we get kicked out of the circle. It's advantageous having so many 'centers' on staff.

Does Duchene have any chance of making his way onto the Wild? That is a big name that I would not mind seeing us give up a major D for if the chance is there. Dont really enjoy the idea of giving up Scandella for prospects. I know the cap hit comes into play with Duchene as well

 

[Victorious Secret]

2.7%

Probably not if they have an offer of Hamonic + 2018 1st + prospect from the Isles.

Yeah, Duchene would be neat but someone is going to offer more than we have any business offering.

 

[ClayAikenFan77]

Not sure I would like anything other than a first from Boston if we're trading Scandella, unless we can somehow get Frederic. (or Pasta)

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

Scandella can only be traded for futures or a young stud (which he's not worth that much).
If Pominville happens to go first then I'd start to believe that one of our D are involved in a mega trade.
Until then, I just want to see CF stock up on some of those spent picks.

 

[baatty]

Have there been any speculation/rumors who the Wild want to bring in to battle for the backup goalie spot with stalock?

Nope. Pretty set on rolling Dubnyk/Stalock next year.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Going to be very disappointing to trade Scandella for a pick...

I feel like this is going to blow up soon with the Scandella trade, so new thread here.
