Trade Ideas Discussion Thread

[Theo Von]

I feel like all of our trade dominos will fall at once.

The Ducks are at our game after we scouted them last night as well.

as is LA at our game tonight. west coast team scouts loving us lately.

 

[Sore Loser]

I don't even know what a CBJ/ANA trade looks like...they're around the WC area, as are we...so it would be a shake up/hockey trade...not a seller/buyer trade...just don't know what we're looking at...

We're loading up on Brian Gibbons, obv.

Regarding the other teams on the list, the Jets need a centre more than a winger. While I feel the Predators need Panarin more than any other Cup contender. He’s the biggest offensive difference-maker that’s been available on the trade rental market in years and when push came to shove last year in that seven-game loss to Winnipeg, a series I covered, I felt the Preds just didn’t measure up in natural offensive talent to the Jets.
The Breadman would be a total game-changer for the Preds. And I can certainly confirm that Nashville has at least inquired with Columbus already just to do their due diligence. Then again, what contender wouldn’t have over the past week …

Curious to what we'd be interested in from Nashville. Fiala+Tolvanen+1st?

Yeah. I really like Nashville and Vegas as contenders who could use Bread and have some attractive assets. I think they can both make strong offers.

Guess it will all come down to what prospects being dangled do the CBJ scouts like. I remember many were not ennamored when Karlsson was part of the return (that also included a 2nd and Rene Bourque) for Wisniewski/3rd at the 2015 deadline but the scouts obviously saw something they liked — even if it wasn’t fully realized here.

I believe Jarmo wanted Rakell in the Wiz deal, but settled on Karlsson. I think Nashville is the dark horse to get Bread, they do need more firepower to compete with the Jets and they aren't afraid to trade

Nashville only would be willing to pay for a rental unless "Ms" Bread loves country music. I doubt they give up that much for a rental. I'd take it though if offered.

 

[EDM]

Both Nashville and Vegas have to be motivated buyers when they are trying to contend with Winnepeg's fire power. So it will be interesting to see if they are willing to come up with that little "extra" to obtain a genuine offensive star for the playoff push.

Starting to like the idea of quick more.

So:
Send Bob to FLA for whatever (just not Reimer) maybe a 2020 1st or Hoffman?
Send our 2020 1st + mini piece to LA for Quick (thanks @Fro)
Send Wennberg+ to STL for Schenn.

Run out:
Bjork - Dubois - Cam
Hoffman - Schenn - Anderson
Foligno - Jenner - Duclair

As a much better top 9.

Now to stop be sleep deprived and come back to reality.

Edit, being sleep deprived I blanked on bread. If you keep bread for the playoffs then he's your 1LW, Bjork is 2RW and Andy plays with Jenner still. Pretty stout imo.

Hoffman and Schenn are both signed at about 5.1 for next year as well.

Have you given thought to why STL would make that trade?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Wennberg scored a goal last night FYI

LSD.

Clearly balance would be required. The problem is it's hard to see what they need. They are very similar to us in some guys are underperforming. Also looks like they could use a LD (few high ranked d prospects at a quick glance)

Maybe Wennberg + Carlsson/Peele + 4th?

 

[Ruudukkopupuset]

Jori Lehterä is on waivers. Could build some potent combinations around him without losing any assets in a trade. Of course his talent would need to be properly utilized to turn the trend.

I am as well - some goalies play very well on the wrong side of 30. Jarmo could do a lot worse (see Riemer).

 

[CBJ goalie]

Count me in for having Quick in a CBJ uniform

 

[wahsnairb]

Quick is so good when he is not injured.
I feel like you take him even at his cap hit over Bob at his projected cap hit all day.

What exactly is his talent because looking at his numbers and what he gets paid, it had better be spectacular.

One of the better playmaking centremen in the NHL. Lehterä, one of the most heterous men in Finland, has excelled at Tappara, Sibir Novosibirsk and St. Louis Blues when given the role. As a player type he is of the same cloth as Wennberg and Hartnell when it comes to creating time and space through wall passes and four passes break any defence mentality. That type of talent is ever so rare in the Blue Jackets, especially now when under John Tortorella's slave command.

His uncle, Tero Lehterä, a 1995 World Champion, has also exemplified exceptional character in coaching the Miracle of East, Saimaan Pallo, in SM-liiga. The seed is strong.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

John Tortorella's slave command.

A bit dramatic there, don't you think? I'm certain that English isn't your first language but c'mon that's a bullshit assessment on your part. A poor choice of both words and sentiment on your part there.

I am really REALLY getting tired of Torts being bashed by outsiders. He may not be the greatest coach but he's not anywhere near as bad as others make him out to be.

 

[Jackets16]

I know we don't know how good our prospect goaltenders will be, but I'd rather save the money and go with them than have Quick for 4 more years. Maybe I would be interested if he only had 1 or 2 years left, but not with 4 years left.

 

[blahblah]

Quick is an interesting choice. I don't think his cap hit will be all that big of a deal, you could still sign Panarin if that miracle occurs. If things go south, his salary drops a lot after next season.

Not sure how I feel about it completely, but if it happened I probably wouldn't hate it if we didn't give up much.

It's really not that big of a deal honestly. You're mainly putting out a rider and if he doesn't work out next season you can put him on waivers. He drops down to 3.5 million after next season and it keeps dropping.

Not sure cap hit is much of concerns at this point.

He can still be moved potentially to a team like Seattle as well when it comes down to it. I'm of the camp at this point that we won't be a cup contender until we have proven quality goaltending. If we risk unproven goalies being the guy I feel like we are throwing the next 2 years away. Quick has a 2.23 GAA and .922 SV% in his career in the playoffs. All at a lesser cap hit than Bob. This sounds like a win win for the next 2 years and we'll deal with the rest when it comes to it.

It looks like you picked a bad day to pump Jori Lehtera's tires - check out the mains.

Can you point me to what you're referencing? I took a quick look and don't see it.

Never mind, found it: Waived: - Jori Lehtera
