cross16 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Still sounds like the only way that Markstrom is traded is if the Devils put Mercer and a pick on the table. If that hasn't happened by now I don't know why the Devils are going to suddenly cave tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I don't really know at this point what happened to the workings on the trade. Not enough assets to retain salary. We are intending on making the playoffs. Owner wouldn't sign off. Return sucked.

I say unlikely because they are hosting the draft and the only reason they get to go to the podium is the 22024 fist. Sure Bettman will let them up there initially, but the love their show. Having no 1st makes that less of a show. All because of the sphwre will be showing the first round ..same reason the nyr won't trade theirs.. their owner actually owns the sphere too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that Rooney is getting traded, which means a C from the Wranglers will be called up, so the Wranglers will be short a C. Not too mention that Zary was playing C there and got called up.

Correct on MEP. We need more C, not sure his potential, but will help the Wranglers, at minimum. I believe he had about 1.5 pts/ game in Jr(Belleville?)

That's odd, I could have sworn I watched him play as a C. Doesn't matter. Can use a C that is a C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they still come back to make another deal. Probably discussed but didn't want to mess with it during the main trade. I would like to see some minor moves, since we have so many freakin' D now. 10 in the AHL, 1 in transit, 6 others on the ice, 1 waived. And we were expecting to get Grush ready for the NHL. Maybe we drop Gilbert for Grush. Alternate him with Hanley. And the forwards are going to be full once we get back Pospisil and Zary. Forgot about Greer, who I would like to bring back. Just don't see the space. 15F with Greer and Zary. Rooney is keeping his spot becuase we have no other C's we are willing to use. Should be using the rest of the year to try out Zary. Or bring up Schwindt to replace him. My wish is that we had made one of the picks a prospect. Even in the VAN deal, we got back D prospects. Tanev deal, a D. Lindholm deal, a D. Maybe we can find something tomoroow, for a lesser pick. Not going for it, just reverse selling. Rooney and a 4th for a good prospect. Something like that.

travel_dude Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 Forsling vs Hanifin Forsling $5.75 x 8 years. I doubt Hanifin gets $7+ in Vegas, but who knows. Who'd ya rather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they still come back to make another deal. Maybe when you relate straight up and honest, it’s a good basis for an ongoing relationship. The Tanev trade was fair both sides. Waivers are what they are, nothing foul there. Trade just balancing positional needs on equivalent prospects. Two teams helping each other, straight up?

Thebrewcrew Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 The Flames have a lot of picks now. Even if they can’t get Mercer included in a Markstrom deal. Hes someone they should explore in the summer. He needs a new deal and will be coming off a down year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still part of the day left, right? On EST tomorrow, so any deals with eastern teams will get done early. I always felt BT worked the nights and slept in. Always on things after the deals were in final stages elsewhere. LOL There was some talk about moving Rooney, but that's minor stuff. Much like what BT used to bring in. I doubt many would call about him, but some teams already know about him. The other thing possible is waiver claims. CHI waived Katchouk, who is a 25 year old LW. A pending RFA with arb rights, but won't get much if he goes there. Hasn't managed to find his way. More of a project for us, and one that we have some luxury to look at. I don't think Connie is thinking playoffs, but won't say that out loud. He's building for next year. From the D out. D has been addressed a bit and lots of guns to choose from. Nobody else stood out for me today. One thing we may need to keep an open mind to is taking on a multi-year contract in a trade. Or a garbage pending UFA. Some minor return or future considerations for helping a cap team. Might be some gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 NJ won for some reason tonight. 66 points, so down 6 from Tampa and DET. 8 back of 3rd in division, and Philly was a seller. Given the volitivity of the East right now, I don't think any WC team is safe. NJ is selling Toffoli, but wouldn't be crazy to trade for a top goalie right now. Connie could only sell it by taking Vanacek as part of the deal. Otherwise the players (owners really) would think it was taking away their toy. The players get over it. They have crystalized as a team through this. Markstrom still doing his thing but some suggest he has lost his desire to play for the team. He's a pro, so the only thing you would see is his stand-offishness. NJ gets their goalie now with a slim chance of making the playoffs. Slim is better than zero. They go into the summer not being concerned with goalies and address what they see missing in any run for the playoffs. Ha ha, who am I kidding. He played tonight and will Saturday, so unless NJ blows them away, there is no TDL trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 And like clockwork, as soon as I post something, Weekes comes out with something interesting.... No eyes for it, but interesting comments (this came out at 11:20pm): Kevin Weekes @KevinWeekes As I’m working the phones, I’m told ; @NHLBruins, @NHLFlames ,@LAKings, @NJDevils are all in Goalie discussions, including some potential 3 way trade scenarios, it’ll be intriguing to see where this lands by deadline time. #HockeyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 Here's a crazy 3 way trade: Markstrom to NJ Toffoli to LA Turcotte, Holtz and a 1st to CGY. Does that even make sense? Maybe it has to be Turcotte plus a Kaliyev to NJ. Or Turcotte + 2024 1st to NJ Then it's Turcotte + Holtz + LA 1st to CGY. I don't know, just musing here. LA is more likely to pay a 1st now, where they are likely a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Markstrom, LA 2025 3rd, CGY 2024 3rd to NJ Mercer, Toffoli to Cgy Toffoli at 50 % retained to LA LA 2024 1st, to CGY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Pays 1st and 3rd for Toffee at 50%; about what we paid for him, but he had time remaining. We send a 3rd this year and Markstrom. NJ gets Markstrom, our 3rd, LA 3rd for Toffee. We get Mercer and a 1st. Sounds like LA should pay us something. Alternate: LA sends Turcotte and a 1st to us. We send NJ Markstrom and a 3rd. NJ sends us Toffoli, Mercer. We send Toffoli at 50% to LA. We get Turcotte, Mercer and LA 1st. NJ gets Markstrom and our 3rd. LA gets Toffoli at 50%. Seems fair enough - 1st and Turcotte for Toffoli at 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
