LeftWinger 4,916 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 Quote 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,916 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 Quote 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!

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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 2 krsmith17 and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 krsmith17 and Wingnut1989 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,916 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Could you imagine if we got a 1st for Sheahan? Crazy! The only thing that may hold some water is the lack of strength in this year's draft class. But it would be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotzman 29 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 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. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 “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. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
