TSN: TSN releases first trade deadline board

[McDonald19]

No Ducks?

Rakell, Henrique, Silfverberg

Not to mention rentals:

Hutton, Hakanpaa, Rowney, Backes, Heinen (RFA unlikely to receive Q offer). Getzlaf and Ryan Miller if they want to chase a cup.

 

[BatVader]

Curious what it would cost to get Ekholm to Winnipeg?
Or Savard?

 

[Richard88]

I mean Nashville has clearly stated he is not one of the unavailable players so I don't really understand what you mean

Nashville will want to protect Josi, Ellis, and Fabbro in the expansion draft, so unless they decide to go 4+4 it's highly likely that they'll trade Ekholm.

Ekholm should return a 1st or an equivalent prospect and more. He's good, affordable and has an extra year.

Savard has an outside shot at the 1st round premium. It depends on the supply (i.e. Manson and Murphy not being for sale as rental+1s) and the demand. I'd put money on a couple Day 2 picks (2 2nds or a 2nd+3rd).

I’d pay for Ekholm... adding him to the Jets would make them dangerous

look at the forward group and give me more than 4 forwards that need to be protected

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

All stemming from one unsubstantiated rumor, though, which only mentioned "untouchable" players, and that already highly dubious. I agree that Ekholm is not "untouchable". But he's under contract for another year, and not available in a typical "trade deadline" scenario, that's all. People are getting massively carried away by one reporter's speculation.

But we do plan to go 4+4.

"Nashville" didn't say that. Elliott Friedman did, that's all. He's not a bad reporter, but it's still totally unsubstantiated.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I for one am shocked that Hall is already trade bait 19 games into his Buffalo career.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

But we do plan to go 4+4.

That would be a mistake

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

That would be a mistake

How do you figure? You a big Colton Sissons fan or what?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

What about in the "non-traditional" sense? Is he available then?

I kept thinking that the original comment was code for anal

I think you might be vastly overestimating the value of expansion slots to Nashville.

1. Johansen
2. Duchene
3. Forsberg
4. Arvidsson
5. Kunin
6. Jarnkrok
7. Sissons

Granlund and Haula traded or leave via UFA.​

Which 3 of those 7 forwards are Nashville going to leave exposed if they go 4+4?

Johansen, Duchene and Sissons. Easy

 

[Paralyzer008]

Dunn is the most intriguing still on the list if you can get him for a 2nd rounder.

 

[elmaco]

I like some of them, for depth. Maybe Hall would agree to take a longer deal with smaller aav? 6.5m and 5 years? 7m maybe would be ok but north from that is a hell no.

Maybe Buffalo signs Hall for 7x8m.

Forsberg and Arvidsson are the only 2 I really care about protecting as of now. I guess I would protect Kunin next just with my fingers crossed. Everybody else I would absolutely expose.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I'd do it now then cuz the 2 week quarantine is a factor for all cdn based teams.

 

[Riley 88]

It’s odd that there aren’t any Devils on the list.

Palmieri, Gusev, Murray and Kulikov could all be moved.

Wood ????

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Wood ????

No interest in moving him.

 

[BWJM]

I'd like to see Bobby Ryan on a contender. Great cap hit, having a decent season. He would be an awesome pickup for secondary scoring.

Well I would be willing to start the bidding at a 2nd and a 3rd/equivalent prospect (separate years) for Savard, provided we could get him signed immediately.

A stay at home defenseman who can skate decently, and make an outlet pass to save his life to pair with Hughes is SORELY missed by this Canucks fan.

Gusev really? I haven't been paying attention to the Devils lately but wasn't he doing pretty decently for you guys?
