Rumor: Trade rumours/Proposals 2018-2019 (Part 8)

[Sens]

Sounds like they are not signing... unbelievable the amount of value given away the last 16 months

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Garrioch doesn't majestically do a TV hit in front of the Parliament buildings for nothing.

Yup, its basically a, "you heard it from the team first" moment when old Bruce is out there doing their PR.

Anyone who was optimistic had this coming. History showed us the likely outcome here.

 

[Artanis]

Mckenzie not really saying much.

 

[bert]

Lafreniere by a significant margin.

They are really close. Anyone that definitively says they know is trying to push an agenda.

If Karlsson doesn’t sign in SJ which it looks like he won’t, the Sharks could be in for an Anaheim type of fall.

Maybe a more progressive coach in SJ, but they have some big cloud storms ahead of the D isn’t there to get the puck up to those old forwards like it is with EK.

That 1st next year could be something. Could be nothing. Could be something.

I have pretty good info its NYR or San Jose no idea how you have come to this conclusion.

I am shocked how suprised everyone is that the sens are trading Stone and Duchene... The writing has been on the wall for a while.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Hughes. Only thing Lafreniere has on him is size. Also Hughes is a C and Lafreniere W.

C > W

In my opinion it’s unlikely Hughes will play centre in the NHL. Both should be viewed as wingers. I prefer lafreniere myself but it’s close. Maybe even byfield. If it’s close I’d rather take the bigger player.

Do we have a link?

What info do you have it could be NYR given that he hasn't been allowed to negotiate with them?

Karlsson can have interest in playing in New York without negotiating with the Rangers first. Rumor has it that he'd love to play there.

They have been playing better without him in the lineup...

Lol Hughes will definitely play C in the NHL.

They've been the 2nd best team in the league since the game in Ottawa, and Karlsson has been over a PPG during that span.

Even if he doesn't re-sign, they'll reallocate that money to Panarin, Stone or Duchene.

They'll be good for years to come.

This round is a bit different in that this is the result of years of meddling ownership. They most likely made fair offers to Stone and Duchene but neither wants to work for Eugene

I'm pretty positive that we aren't offering sizeable bonus money, let alone lockout proof bonus money, which both will 100% get on July 1st.

Without that, for better or for worse, that isn't a fair offer for guys like that.

This.

Ok, I guess that confirms it's SJ or NYR.

A while?
Since June imo

When they traded for Duchene, my thought was "they can't get a deal done with Turris so they're giving up a lot to kick the can down the road a year when they can't sign Duchene"

But I never in a million years thought they'd lose Stone

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Someone please hit Dorion upside the head and tell him Duchene is gone

 

[Fandlauer]

Someone please hit Dorion upside the head and tell him Duchene is gone

I get the feeling there's a hope that Dorion can get suckered into not trading him, so he doesn't have to move with a new child, then again when he hits UFA. Agent is putting in some OT.

 

[branch]

Calling a Duchene blown ACL tonight.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

It's a shame they spent so much money putting their faces on bus stops for nothing

I dont think so. If Duchene doesnt sign he will be dealt by the deadline for sure, even if the return is terrible.

This has definitely been a thought I've had. These guys don't want to have to move for 3 months only to have to decide on their future and move again in the summer.

I think this was why Tavares "left the door open" with NYI last year. He knew where he was going the whole time but played it out so he didn't have to move again.

I think Tavares didn't want the Leafs to give up a bunch of assets to get him when he was going to sign either way.

With Duchene, I could see him legitimately wanting to go to a contender though. He seems to genuinely want to play playoff hockey and get s chance at a Cup.

Could totally see Dorion just running out of runway and not trading some of them just to have them walk in July. He's screwed up at almost everything else so I don't know why he'd do a good job here. He's left himself so much work over the next two weeks. I don't see how he can get it all done.
