Speculation: Underperforming players

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Here you can list underperforming players from your team. You can also propose trades between two or more teams. I'm looking for similar trades as the Pens and Kings (Hagelin for Pearson) and the Pens and Ducks (Sprong for Pettersson) did earlier.

Underachievers from the Devils:
Miles Wood (LW/RW)
Marcus Johansson (LW)
Pavel Zacha (C/LW)
Stefan Noesen (RW)
Will Butcher (LD)
Corey Schneider (G)

Mentioned in this thread:

Sabres:
Scandella -- LHD

Habs:
Price
Mete
Alzner (he's done)
Lehkonen
Charles Hudon

not under/over achieving, but probably available:

Schlemko (D)
Benn (D)
Shaw (RW)
Armia (RW)

Wild:
Niederreiter - on pace for 9 goals and 39 points
Coyle - on pace for 12 goals and 36 points
Eriksson Ek - on pace for 4 goals and 15 points
Dubnyk - struggling recently, under .900 save percentage in more than a couple games

Red Wings:
Abdelkader

Sharks:
Vlasic
Kane
M. Karlsson

Canucks:
Eriksson
Gudbranson

[780il]

Something around Nurse + Lucic + pick for Butcher + MoJo

 

[Derg12]

Scandella -- LHD any takers?

 

[Favster]

Habs:

Price
Mete
Alzner (he's done)
Lehkonen
Charles Hudon

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Niederreiter - on pace for 9 goals and 39 points
Coyle - on pace for 12 goals and 36 points

Dubnyk - struggling recently, under .900 save percentage in more than a couple games

 

[Captain Mountain]

Habs:

Price
Mete
Alzner (he's done)
Lehkonen
Charles Hudon

Mete isn't going to be moved as an underacheiver.

Underachievers/Underperformers from the Canadiens:

Price (G) (Won't be traded)
Alzner (D) (pure cap dump)
Lehkonen (LW/RW)
Hudon (LW/RW)
Danault (C) (not really available)

not under/over achieving, but probably available:

Schlemko (D)
Benn (D)
Shaw (RW)
Armia (RW)

I missed the "players to move" part. Ya, no way I would trade him either. Just stating that based on last year and preseason, he's been underwhelming which is fine for a 20 D man. He'll be fine.

Something around Nurse + Lucic + pick for Butcher + MoJo

I really like Nurse. Or at least I liked him last season. He would be just what the doctor ordered for the Devils: a good and steady left hand dman. But that Lucic contract is just dreadful! This season and four more years! I would consider this but that Lucic contract might be too much for me.

Lehkonen or Armia for Wood or Johansson? Johansson is UFA next summer.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Zero interest in Johansson. Wood is nice, but not for Lehkonen or Armia. Butcher is another story.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Maatta or Oleksiak?

We could retain 1-1.5 million to make that cap hit easier on you guys. Even then it's a tough contract to swallow.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Abdelkader

 

[fasterthanlight]

Vlasic
Kane
M. Karlsson

I think Vlasic and Kane have value, but personally I'd add a 5th rd. pick with Karlsson for future considerations just to get rid of him because our coach loves him for some reason.

 

[Cogburn]

Eriksson
Gudbranson
Del Zotto
Pouliot
Nilsson
Markstrom
Roussel
Schaller

I mean anyone need the services of these guys? I really only have one player of that list that I want gone for what ever, Pouliot, but any of the others could be had relatively cheaply.

 

[north49er]

St. Louis Blues

 

[Prairie Habs]

Lehkonen or Armia for Wood or Johansson? Johansson is UFA next summer.

Not really interested in wingers. We just waived a former 1st rounder without giving him a single game this year because we have no spots on the wing.

As someone else mentioned, we would be interested in Butcher if he was available.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Cogliano with 2 goals 4 assists 6 points in 30 games has underperformed.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Andre Burakovsky per the usual.

 

[Howie Hodge]

St. Louis Blues

Sans ROR. Though we're not missing him as much as I thought we would here in The Buff....

 

[Getzmonster]

Cogliano
Kesler
Gibbons

 

[57special]

Nino and Coyle from MN.

Ek is very young. Way to soon to judge him.

Dubnyk has had some bad bounces recently, but has been at least solid, and in some cases spectacular for most of the season.

No panic with any of the players.

 

[Jozay]

I'd like Maroon, but considering he signed there to be close to his son and probably wouldnt command much in a trade, I doubt he gets moved.

Who wants Kesler

 

[AndreRoy]

There’s really nobody on the Lightning who is both underperforming and available at the moment. Maybe Callahan if you want to say he’s underperforming relative to his contract, but he was never worth that deal in the first place and he’s been playing well relative to expectations. Miller’s been demoted to our bottom six but that’s not saying much considering he’s still on pace for one fewer point than last season, and probably isn’t available until the summer unless Stralman is done for the year and we want to trade JT for a pick/prospect and a rental RD (which with the way Cernak is playing doesn’t look like it will be necessary.) Killorn would be available for cap reasons as well if he didn’t have a full NTC, but he too is on pace for his usual level of production and defensive contribution. Koekkoek can’t get on the ice but when he has he’s been decent and while available there aren’t a lot of realistic trades for him that would make sense for us given his cheap contract and our impending cap crunch and defensive needs. And I don’t see us trading anyone else from our current roster aside from possibly Martel, and you can’t underperform when you’ve only played one game all season.
