Speculation: Trade Jam Going to Open?

[crackdown44]

Fox I see signing after this NCAA season. Harvard's going to have a strong team by all indications, and he'll probably be able to jump right to the Canes after the season ends. Faulk can be moved out at the deadline or, if the Canes are solidly in playoff position, before the draft to make room. And it's likely preferable for Fox to take this route as well, kills a year of his ELC in the process.

Has there been any indication that fox intends to sign with Carolina or is he still debating staying an extra year and testing free agency? Was it just about being on the east coast for him?

CAR GM quoted as being 99.9% sure Fox will sign:

Could defensive prospect Adam Fox give the Hurricanes the edge in the Calgary trade?

I don’t like Waddell putting odds on signing Fox, but signs point to him potentially signing after his junior year is up.

My magic 8 ball says: Yes

I'd say:
Panarin to EDM
Karlsson to VGK
Pacioretty departs as UFA
Faulk to PIT
Skinner to COL
Pickard to EDM
Anderson to NYI

Patch departs as a UFA. As a Habs? Want to bet on this?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Karlsson to DAL
Pacioretty to SJ
Faulk to DET
Skinner to COL
Panarin to NJ
Anderson to PHI

Thank you for not trolling the Habs. Patch is going somewhere before he contract is up.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Issue is price you have to pay to get these players. Teams want to acquire them but are hesitant to trade the futures and prospects it will take to acquire the piece that improves their team. Time will tell but I don't expect a open flood gate. Trades are not easy to negotiate, nobody wants to lose a trade.

after signing lehner the isles aren't gonna give up assets for anderson

Agreed. With 2 yrs/ $9.4m left on Anderson's contract, the most I would give up would be a straight swap of Griess for Anderson.

Saves the Sens almost $3m.

You have Melnyk’s attention

 

[justafan22]

Karlsson, Faulk, One of the leafs goalies and Anderson I could see.

 

[Flukeshot]

Pickard and Sparks both require waivers. Still may have to see a few other goalies go off the board until they are dealt. Unless a team really sees them as being a potential significant goalie for them.

I am sure the following guys could be had for $1-1.5M

PLAYER	AGE
1. Kari Lehtonen	34
2. Steve Mason	30
3. Ondrej Pavelec	30
4. Jeff Zatkoff	31

The consensus seems to be that the Jackets will start the season with Panarin.

 

[robertocarlos]

It's like the bank canceled the credit cards. No wait, that's wrong. Maybe constipation.

 

[Volica]

Pickard to EDM? What The Fudsicles! We have three goalies already. And Panarin is too costly for the Oil (no cap space).

Panarin (in best Russian accent):
I want to play in big city, big light. Ranger, Chicago or LA.

Agent:
Well my friend, I've got something even more exciting for you. Have you heard of Edmonton? City of Champs? Look, I know you were born in 91, and you only know them as a bit of a dud, but hey, McDavid.

Panarin:
....

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Tanev or Pesce to Toronto

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

My magic 8 ball says: Yes

I'd say:
Panarin to EDM
Karlsson to VGK
Pacioretty departs as UFA
Faulk to PIT
Skinner to COL
Pickard to EDM
Anderson to NYI

Rumor has it that Panarin only wants to play in NYC, LA or CHI doubt he has any interest in Edmonton.

 

[member 147413]

2 of Sparks/Pickard/Mcelhinney should be on the move.

None of whom I would want playing 20 or more games for my team.

1 (maybe 2) of Hainsey/Gardiner/Zaitsev could be on the move imo.

Pacioretty departs as UFA
Faulk to PIT

Pickard to EDM
Anderson to NYI

May I ask why the Oilers need another goalie?
Talbot, montoya and Koskinen?
Why panarin as well? ..?

 

[Djp]

pretty much every significant Free Agent has signed with the exception of Patrick Maroon. However it feels like several potential trades are still likely to happen. Are we going to see the logjam of the trade market open up shortly?

- Erik Karlsson (potentially with Bobby Ryan)
- Max Pacioretty
- Justin Faulk
- Jeff Skinner
- Artemi Panarin
- Garrett Sparks/Calvin Pickard
- Craig Anderson

There’s obviously quite a few of significant RFA’s unsigned as well that could potentially hit the trade market as well.

I see other trades happening that don’t involve people in this list.

Fir example...say vegas signs Karlsson and gives up future picks and players not part of their top 9F/4D. Given they saw 2 of their wingers walk they might look at trading one these extra Dmen for a similar age winger.

Players not moved with 1 yr before free agency probably aren’t moved till November-February..

If this happens then its Pacioretty to Dallas

 

[tony d]

Given the many players that are seemingly available, something got to give. Should be fun to watch.

 

[sabresEH]

I don't think we're going to see as many trades as we think. I think we'll hear a lot of, "We had discussions with a few teams but couldn't find the right value".

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

I don't think we're going to see as many trades as we think. I think we'll hear a lot of, "We had discussions with a few teams but couldn't find the right value".

Thats Jim Bennings line,,,then we lose a player for nothing to waivers or they walk away as a free agent.

 

[ohmyjlord]

I predict Faulk for Patches.

Unless the Habs can move Webber first, I predict you're wrong.
...and hopefully, Bergevin is quietly realizing (or being forced to by the owner, which I doubt) that this team needs a rebuild.
Prospects and picks, Marc. That's your mantra.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

just a matter of time, though I wouldn't be shocked if it's TVR rather then Faulk that's moved out, especially if the Canes can get a mid 20s Quad A type goalie + a pick just in case one of Mrazek or Darling is struggling out of camp.

G Anton Forsberg + 7th for TVR
