Speculation: Vegas gearing up for a big move? (upd: Brannstrom out with illness)

[caley]

2017 first rounder D Erik Brannstrom was an unexpected healthy scratch for Vegas’ AHL team today. Could be illness or injury but it could also be a big trade chip. Something to keep an eye on.

Could be a piece in the Stone deal. Vegas is absolutely insane if they're buying heavy again.

 

[BatVader]

Vegas going after Dzingle?

 

[Knightmare]

I really hope we’re not trading Brannstrom.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Would love if Holland could fleece McPhee again.

 

[Keep Sorokin Me Babe]

Watching him in the last 2 WJC's, giving up Brannstrom would be a huge, huge mistake. Even if it's for a signed Stone IMO, due to the age difference and positions.

 

[Soundgarden]

I think that would be a bad idea to trade Glass or Brannstrom, especially with how Tatar panned out.

 

[LeafChief]

Vegas would be insane to trade Brannstrom. Insane.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Brannstrom traded for a rental would not be good

 

[pckstpr31]

Yeah I've liked their aggressive approach but moving Brannstrom would be a mistake.

Last weekend on Hockey night in Canada, Chris Johnston said that Vegas won't be making a big move. With last seasons accusations + trading Suzuki, I can't see them trading another top prospect.

 

[RWatson29]

Brannstrom should not be moved.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah McPhee would be crazy to move Brannstrom for a rental.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Probably to Florida for Hoffman.

Yeah, I'm not sure I would be spending big assets if I were Vegas.

Do a smaller move, maybe around your 1st rounder, but I wouldn't consider someone like Brannstrom.

Vegas acquires Stone for a 1st, Brannstrom, etc.

Jets sign him as a UFA in the off-season.

Poetic justice...

His was more speculation that anything. Stone’s been linked to them for a while now. He’s close with Kelly Mcrimmon too.

With all of that cap space the Jets have.

 

[justafan22]

If Stone agrees to an extension, Brannstrom would be in the deal.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Why trade Brannstrom? He's a good up and coming D for that team, getting rid of him would be dumb on Vegas' end.

Guess McPhee will do any trade as long as the team he doesn't want to face against in the playoffs doesn't get that specific player and he does. But I could also see it being Stone for another obvious Wheat Kings connection with McCrimmon.

 

[CupInSIX]

Maybe he's getting called up because Miller will be traded

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Vegas going hard after Seabrook?

smart move

 

[Clayonator]

McPhee is scared this will be the Jets year.

 

[gojetsgo]

McPhee is scared this will be the Jets year.

clearly hasn't watched us for the past few weeks

 

[CupInSIX]

Need an update on the pantaloon situation.
