I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Tyler Johnson...

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/phi170225.html ...seems like there will be plenty of goalies available this week. Is Vegas allowed to participate in the deadline deals? Maybe they'll acquire their goalie that way...

Vanek for McCarron and a 3rd in a minute...

Hey, leave the Woah People out of this! they're a peaceful village! Tell that to Holland with the contracts he's handed out to his "loyal" players!

Is DickieDunn enjoying some barley pops tonight?

Not that this thread is about those two, in hindsight you may want them back, but the difference is, we don't have Legwand or Cole taking up a roster spot anymore, but if we had those two back, we'd have no room for all the players with Holland's unmovable contracts... Or Mantha and AA would still be in GR, possibly along with Larkin.

Interesting...

If this is the case, then a 1st, HIGH prospect and another element is an over payment in most GM's minds...Look like unless they lower the price significantly, they may lose him for nothing...

Yes, we have Toronto's 3rd (Babcock signing) and Chicago's 3rd....which sucks only because our 3rd would be a late 2nd basically now, but Holland may have hedged that we'd finish higher than Toronto so he keep the one he may have thought would be higher...but still 2... Go to capfriendly.com and you can see all our picks, and it will show you details of the traded ones.

regarding Shattenkirk: Trade Vanek for the 1st, trade that plus Nyquist and Svech for Shatty....as long as we can come to a contract extension agreement.

You got that backwards...Chicago's 3rd = could equal early 4th if they win the Cup. Could be as early as a mid round 3rd. But not a late 2nd, they are no danger of missing the playoffs. Still a good return...

Actually the 3rd we traded to SJS was already paid, they traded it to Phoenix...we traded it to them, they traded it to Phoenix along with a 4th rounder last draft for Letunov and a 6th rounder this draft...see below: June 20, 2016: ARI 2016 4th round pick (#120-Otto Koivula) 2017 3rd round pick SJS Maxim Letunov 2017 6th round pick May 26, 2016: SJS 2017 3rd round pick DET Dylan Sadowy

Jarnkrok? Really? What about that scrub Eaves we traded? I think Chicago overpaid for Jurco, considering his production here, BUT, he was never really given the chance to prove he was an offensive player. HE may have had a few shifts in the top 6, but nowhere near as much as Helm, SHeahan, Abby or Glenny. All who of which haven't produced there consistently. Glad to see they are in the bottom 6 now, but honestly, I think if Jurco was given the chance on a consistent basis to be in the top 6, he would've have earned a spot here and we may be talking about someone else being dealt. Can't change it now, for some reason he just couldn't get out of the dog house. I hope we don't regret it, but hey, at least we got a nice return. What if Chicago is the first team eliminated? Mid round pick then...

Not at all...too bad he was playing behind players like Abby, Helm and Glendening when it came to lines. I never understood how lifetime bottom 6 players like those every got playing time over jurco...oh well, moot now.

If we got a 3rd for Jurco, we could most definitely get someone to take E's contract, right? Yes, but look what we were saying about eaves when he got traded from here...

Vanek for Trouba! +5

At least a 1st for Vanek now...1st and 3rd sounds about right to me! And OMG, Holland didn't get raped!

That would still be it. But, of course St. Louis would want a ton more... 1st (between 20-30), 3rd, Nyquist....maybe, MAYBE a prospect.

2 picks and a player....not our picks. If we got a 1st for Vanek and a 3rd for Smith, those 2 picks and nobody more important to us than Nyquist...AA, Mantha, Larkin out of the question.

Ya, this guy didn't wear huge items either...it was just the times, i think Ozzie had a huge ass jersey as well!

I was going with the narrative that he signs an extension post haste! Sorry, I should've included that. I don't want him for a rental, it doesn't help us at all. Don't know who'd they want, but if they're getting a 1st and a 3rd they are no way getting AA, Mantha or Larkin. Not sure if they'd want Nyquist, but he adds value to the trade...

Trade Vanek for a 1st, Smith for a 3rd and turn those two picks plus a player (Nyquist) to St. Louis for Shattenkirk. Keep our 1st, draft future star... How is it not done yet?

Mine's cooler with an actual tweet, pretty colors, pictures and unicorns! Na na a boo boo! Just kidding! Didn't see it..... my bad...

Oops! You are acknowledged!

I've been all over McKenzie twitter, haven't seen anything about Holland turning down offers on Smith...but, we know teams try to rape Holland all the time so I wouldn't be surprised if they are offering 5th or 6th rounders. Which should be turned down. Anything less than a 3rd is a low ball offer...
