Speculation: What is your team 4th line center who could be trade bait at TDL?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Glendening to Toronto for a 2nd. Book it.

Glendening is a move I could see made but not for a 2nd

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

You're right, my apologies.
Danault is a 3rd line center and Drouin just plain isn't a center.

 

[Dynamite Time]

You can have Jay Beagle now.

As a Stars fan I’ll take him for Jason Dickinson as well as Hanzals contract.

 

[96]

You can have Freddy Gauthier - no, please, take him for free.

I’d rather not. Let him play 4c to start the season. This will probably be his last year if he doesn’t play well defensively.

Matt Duchene

Lamoriello isn't the GM anymore.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Vancouver offers up
SUTTER
GAGNER,,can play center
GRANDLUND,,can play center
GAUNCE

[Tweaky]

Soderberg?

 

[I am I]

I guess technically the OP doesn't mention "NHL center" so a 4th line AHL center is a valid answer.

 

[Bruce Granville]

How is a 4th line center trade bait?

Only player that comes to my mind might be Kadri.
But with Tavares, Matthews, Nylander and Kadri the Leafs should not trade away any center but rather win the cup.

 

[elitepete]

Gagner and Beagle

 

[Ugene Magic]

Pens will be buyers.

Don't you trade your surplus for your needs?

 

[Kurisu]

Leafs don't need one.

 

[miscs75]

Pick one: Cizikas, Nelson, Filppula, Kovar

 

[Brett44]

Soderberg?

If JT Compher and Kamenev play well ,why not trade Soderberg with retain 50% salary. What is value?
2nd round+B prospect

 

[TheAngryHank]

Don't you trade your surplus for your needs?

Typically pics or something of value , 4th liners usually don't go the other way.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

We have about 8 fourth line centers, too bad we don't have any 1, 2, or 3 line centers

Cornering the market on 4th line centers. Niceeeeeeee.

 

[domiwroze]

Kotkaniemi for a LW

That sounds about right to me. Others may not agree, but with Jost, JTC and Kerfoot already making an impact, plus Kamenev knocking, NHL center minutes are going to be spread out if the younguns do well. And next year, we could have a few more ready for a look ...Bowers, Shvyryov, or even Beaudin. Some of them will have to play wing, and the system is a bit light on those, especially on the right. So I would ask for a prospect/ELC that could slot in at RW this year or next in a middle 6 role, with the right player pushing the pick to later rounds.

He’s talking about a legitimate 4th line center. Not buying low on a guy slotted down the lineup.

 

[Ranksu]

Luke Glendening

What he would cost to St. Louis Blues?

 

[Revelation]

You can have Jay Beagle now.

We'll take him on the Caps at 50% for a 3rd and 5th

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

What he would cost to St. Louis Blues?

2019 2nd

Or

Mikkola, 2019 3rd.

Could it Be done with Jbo or Gunnar? Blues need to remove some cap If we gonna add some player.

 

[BobbyShehan]

I really wish for the Habs to put Drouin back on the wing and roll with the Bolded.

I would try :
Drouin - Danault - Gallagher
Domi - Peca - Armia
Byron - Plekanec - Lekhonen
Hudon/Deslauriers - DeLaRose/Shaw - Sherbak
Froese extra

We have too many players really... I didn't even include Pacioretty... Him and Byron should be dealt at some point... Plekanec and hopefully Shaw at the deadline too as 4th line centers.

That would be, by far, the worst team in the league. Good for the tank.
