The Bolts have also been shopping center Valtteri Filppula, while teams have inquired about center Tyler Johnson and winger Ondrej Palat this season

Quote

Boyle, Johnson and Palat are in the final year of their respective contracts. Boyle is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, while Johnson and Palat can become restricted free agents.

Quote

Tampa has been looking to create some cap space for next season, as Johnson, Palat and Jonathan Drouin require significant raises this off-season and the team does not look to be in a position to fit all of them under the cap along with other holes they'd need to fill.

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

Team that have shown interest in Vanek include the Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators, Chicago Blackhawks, Florida Panthers and Los Angeles Kings. It’s not known what the Red Wings are looking for, for Vanek, but it likely starts with a first round pick, or a second round pick and a prospect.

I called it a while ago, Vanek for Fowler! Get it Done! :lol:

Even if Jurco scored one goal with the Hawks I bet people going to flip out and be all like "SEE HE WAS MISUSED"

Hahahaha YEP!! Or they'll say Holland is a dumbass for giving him up for "nothing", but we're happy as hell and couldn't believe Holland got a third for him when the deal was made.

...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...

No they aren't. Vegas can start negotiating with free agents a week before July 1 or something though, giving them a jump on other teams. I think if they try to sign a player and he refuses, they can't turn around and claim him in the draft.

I can't see many UFAs signing with them during the early window though. They'll want t see what other teams have to offer as well.

No, they have to have their final expansion dues payment in or whatever before they can talk to other teams and owner Bill Foley has said they won't have it in by March 1st.

That seems weird to me. Vanek also had his stint with Montreal and reports were that the Habs didn't make a huge attempt to re-sign him after that 2014 playoff run. They already gave up a 2nd and a prospect for him that year - It would be kind of funny if they gave up a similar price just to bring him back again.

It is highly unlikely. AFAIK Montreal is in need for a decent top line center, not a scoring winger.

Red wings are trying to resign smith(God knows why)

 

leafs want Sheehan lol

There is buzz on twitter that they may give up a first.....this must be BS. If Holland can get a 1st round pick for Sheahan, that would be awesome!

Does anybody know all the good twitter accounts to follow for rumours. I got all the TSN guys

TSN guys should have you covered. They retweet anyone else that posts about trades and such.. I follow McKenzie, Dreger, and LeBrun and they pretty much cover everything NHL trades/rumors.

As horrendous as sheahan has been this year i don't expect his goal production to be this bad again , probably bounce back to 10-15 

 

that being said depending who we leave unprotected , the fact he's a first rounder and still only 24 means there's a chance he could get claimed so if he we can get a 1st(which I doubt) then I guess we gotta do it

Sheahan for a first? sold. I'm pretty sure he will bounce back however theirs a chance he doesn't.

they always talk about his size but he doesn't use it, plays like a small guy.

Agreed. Even if he bounces back, I dont think him at his best is even worth a 1st rounder. I do want to say though, the buzz on twitter was from second tier sources, take it with a grain of salt.

Well Holland isn't an idiot he's not going to trade a 24 year old center for scraps just because he's having a miserable season. I wouldn't trade him unless they could actually get a 1st rounder which I doubt. It's not like his salary is hurting the team. See if he can bounce back next year with a new coach

I hate to give up on Sheahan, but he's been awful. If Babs wants him and would pony up, I say go for it and start rebuilding.

Still think we need a new coach too. I don't hate Blash, but the wheels have fallen off.

On Hockey Night in Canada's "Saturday Headlines," Nick Kypreos stated that the Toronto Maple Leafs are interested in Riley Sheahan of all people, and Elliotte Friedman stated that the Red Wings want to re-sign Brendan Smith, but Adam Oates pointed out that Mike Babcock knows Smith and the Leafs may be interested.

It would be very, very weird if the Red Wings made one deal with the Leafs, never mind two, but I could certainly see Sheahan fitting in with Babcock's youth movement...

I don't mind if they give Sheahan another season and see if he bounces back, but he's been absolutely horrendous this season.  He's a defensive specialist and he has the worst +/- on the team and isn't putting up any points really.  If they can get a first for him, do it.  I'd rather they bring up Bertuzzi anyway.

“The thought is that Sheahan is having a miserable year,” Kypreos added, noting that the 25-year-old centreman has no goals and sits at minus-19 through 58 games.

While some may speculate that the Leafs could look for a discount given Shanahan and Babcock’s connection to Detroit, Kypreos shot down that idea.

“The feeling is, regardless of being goalless, that could cost you as much as a first-rounder if the Leafs want him,”Kypreos said.

sounds like shatenkirk is going to NYR

and smith might be going to the NYR too

what kind of return could we expect from the NYR for smith

Rags can't really pay the price that the Blues currently want for Shatty.

Thusfar there's been no real speculation on return for Smith presented by anyone who might be "in the know."

Looked at teams draft selections coming and just for fun to see how far off I'll be (montour and some others are obviously wishful thinking but one can hope)

 

Brendan smith 

 

nyr/Pitt for 3rd and conditional pick (both have no 2nds left)

Florida for a 2nd 

edm for a 3rd and 5th 

Mtl  for a 2nd 2018(got 3 picks)

leafs for a 2nd 

 

vanek 

 

chi for 2nd,3rd 2018 and Lucas carlsson

vanek to ducks for montour

vanek and Steve  ott to ott for 1st and Christian jaros

vanek to pitts for a 1st

vanek to San Jose for a 1st and Adam parsells

 

i think we can all agree vanek and smith need To go , if holland wants them so bad wait till July 1and save 2 players from expansion while getting assets Its a no brainer
