The Blueshirts have also received inquiries on Chris Kreider, with the Maple Leafs, Bruins and Predators believed to be three interested parties, but we’re told the winger is only available if general manager Jeff Gorton receives an offer he cannot refuse for No. 20. Thus far, no severed horses’ heads have appeared between the sheets.
I don't think Sissons is going anywhere, I honestly think he is the last one on that list Poile would move.
Not necessarily. The only deadline trade I can remember fetching a team's top prospect may have been Kessel (Kapanen, though I even think he may have been "passed" by the time of that trade).Assuming Tolvanen is a must...
You would have to assume a package will have to include additional pieces in some combination of
Smith
Sissons
Fiala
Salomaki
Jarnkrok
Hartman
Id really like to think we would keep Sissons, Fiala, and Hartman. Although at this point Fiala might be on the cutting board.Assuming Tolvanen is a must...

Jesus id like to think wed get a pretty package for those two, im praying it doesnt come down to that.I'd say something like Tolvanen+Hartman+pick, but wouldn't be surprised if it's less.
The history of big deadline deals doesn't bear out a lot of the speculation we're seeing (though you'll see it every single time a big name is available). A lot of the time you see a decent young roster player, a good, but not elite, prospect, and picks (sometimes swaps of picks and AHL players as well). So taking that model, I'd guess something like Jarnkrok, Carrier/Allard, 1st. If that went down, it's not awful value, though after speculation of Tolvanen or Tolvanen+Fabbro/Fiala, it will seem like it. I feel like there's too much talk of Tolvanen for him not to be included, but could just be the media outlets and pundits all piggybacking off each other.Jesus id like to think wed get a pretty package for those two, im praying it doesnt come down to that.
I would take this. Assuming we have no angle on Stone, anyway, and that Duchene as next-best is our only play. And assuming Duchene's new contract is no bigger than Johansen's.Elliotte Friedman on nhl network radio just said ET + 1st + a conditional pick might be our package. He said could be a little tweak but he fully expects us to go all for Duchene with an extension completed.
Duchene happens to be one of the better faceoff players in the league. If anything Turris would end up on the wing or dropped down to third line center.If we get Duchene then he'll be on Turris' wing. No way around it.
I think we can get Duchene for 7-7.5M per. As for Stone the asking price on him right now is nuts from what I have read. Last I heard was 2 1sts and 2 top assets for Stone. No way I would be on board with that.I would take this. Assuming we have no angle on Stone, anyway, and that Duchene as next-best is our only play.

One 1st, two 1sts... at this point it isn't super-meaningful to us... once we add 1 more prominent player, we're kinda locked out of being able to make other big future addtions in the next few years anyway. Another chance at a good prospect for later on would be lost, sure, but that's still the "next" window. Stone is such a perfect fit and the most prominent player on the market now (and likely most prominent for a good time to come)... if we got him and got him locked up to a long-term deal, I would not balk at Tolvanen+2 1sts, for sure. What is the other "top asset"? There might be some roster players where it could make enough sense, given Stone coming in, given what might be a need for just a little more cap space opened up. I wouldn't reject this pricetag outright, anyway. That's a reflection of how good I think Stone is, and how perfectly he would fit our needs.I think we can get Duchene for 7-7.5M per.

Like I said weeks ago, the Preds are gonna be rumored to be interested in everyone, eve. If all it was was nothing more than a phone call just to see what they are looking for.Rangers taking calls on Chris Kreider

No thanks.

Poile will be running down Broadway naked if Duchene takes 7-7.5
