TSN: TSN releases offseason trade list. mentions a karlsson for subban rumor and more

[Gravity]

Bergevin is an even bigger idiot, so it would probably be Eriksson+7 for Alzner+3

no human being on this planet is stupid enough to do that trade lol. My original proposal was bad, your counter was beyond awful

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

If Subban gets traded I would think whatever team acquires him has Nashville retain at lest 50% of his contract.

Yeah, they would even have to add Forsberg to him to get more than a 5th round pick.

 

[HarrisonFord]

the canucks 7th pick at number 7...

7, 7....7?

Canucks pick being traded to Vegas, e3

 

[WesMcCauley]

Its the fact they have to clear room to resign Ellis after this coming season, and Josi the season after. Its to save money later on, and Karlsson would only be on contract for next season and they could let him walk to free space for those signings.

They arent trading Subban for Karlsson to clear cap space in a year by not re-signing Karlsson... No matter how good EK is, you dont give up Subban for one year of him, not happening.

I was explaining what the writer was stating, I wouldn’t do it.

 

[Klaus3154]

Surprised that Zuccarello on that list. Before you reply he isn’t good enough note that Namestnikov in on that list.

 

[bert]

Sens are using their pick then trading Hoffman and Karlsson. #smart

 

[Klaus3154]

Sorry! But I liked the fact that with a 77 overall player and 11 trades later, you could have Jaromir Jagr

I am so happy I am not the only person that did that. I made the Rangers stacked

 

[Gravity]

Lol the whole reason Nashville is thinking of trading him is because of his contract. Why the hell would they retain 50%, defeats the purpose

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

So Nashville is trying to save money by trading Subban...so they trade him for Karlsson? How much is he going to make?

Heck I doubt Melnyk would accept.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Lol the whole reason Nashville is thinking of trading him is because of his contract. Why the hell would they retain 50%, defeats the purpose

Since Subban has a cap hit of $9,000,000 I can't see a team willing take on that whole contract.

Gotta continue the perpetual rebuild somehow haha

 

[Gravity]

Fine but there's no way Nashville is retaining. They want to shed the contract I assume.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Since Subban has a cap hit of $9,000,000 I can't see a team willing take on that whole contract.

Then they won't get him. 9M/year is the norm for a top-5 D. Karlsson and Doughty are looking for 10M+.

I'm not even sure Preds are looking to trade him. If they trade him, in order to sign Josi at 8M and Ellis at 7M, they are really stupid.

 

[Soundgarden]

Seems more like TSN's just trying to drum up interest in their programming, by spinning all these false narratives.

Are there documented reports that the Preds are even shopping Subban?

The only rumor going around was started by a Montreal radio host and was walked back once it reached bigger outlets. Nashville MAY move on from Subban a few years from now, but it doesn't make sense while our window is wide open.

We certainly aren't moving him for a year of Karlsson so we end up with Ellis, Ekholm, Josi and nothing two years from now.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I hope Jim Benning is dumb enough to do Pacioretty + high 2nd for Vancouver's 7th overall. Habs grab Zadina and Kotkaniemi

Yeah the only problem is, That Detroit is just as high on Kotkaniemi as Montreal and could likely nab him with their #6 pick.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Lol that is beyond delusional

 

[BlueBaron]

They could trade him easily. You can bet Toronto would be calling to find out the price.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Weber for Subban then Subban for karlsson.

What world is this?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is Dorion's backup plan if no other team steps up with an amazing package, and if Karlsson won't take the old Melnyk approved hometown discount.

NSH gets the better player, OTT gets the cheaper player that is the closest thing to a lateral move they can find. The Senators are apparently on a 5 year plan, Subban is signed for 10/10/8/8 in real money, so it's a pretty good fit from that perspective.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I don't understand why Nashville would trade Subban for Karlsson if the issue is that they to sign Ellis and Josi. Unless Karlsson is a rental for them, wouldn't that be costlier for them?

I would guess that is part where the author's own opinion/speculation got mixed up with the rumour because it makes absolutely no sense.

I can't imagine NSH would be trading Subban for Karlsson without intending to extend Karlsson. If Nashville makes that trade, they do it to upgrade since Karlsson is the better player, or because the inconsistent rumblings about Subban wearing out his welcome are actually true.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Since Subban has a cap hit of $9,000,000 I can't see a team willing take on that whole contract.

9M for a cornerstone RD is fine, especially with the cap at 80M+.

The going rate for a superstar player these days is in the 9M-10.5M range, and that'll likely increase this summer and the next one. Subban is borderline underpaid, and that'll become increasingly evident once Doughty and Karlsson both sign contracts that could exceed 11M.

 

[SI90]

Ristolainen jumped out at me. Why in the world would BUF move him?

 

[Gravity]

Yeah the only problem is, That Detroit is just as high on Kotkaniemi as Montreal and could likely nab him with their #6 pick.

Hoping they go for Bouchard.

 

[Gravity]

Lol that is beyond delusional

Jesus no it's not. It's bad but not delusional. Pacioretty for ~10th is fair value then add the 35th pick to move up to 7. It's bad and it was meant to be as a joke but far from delusional

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I'd hope LA is in on Domi, Galchenyuk, Burakovsky, Namestnikov, Reinhart.

Order of trade wish list...

1) Galchenyuk
2) Burakovsky
3) Namestnikov
4) Reinhart
5) Domi

What would they take?
