2016/2017 Trade Speculation and Rumors

[sureLoss]

re Blackhawk rumors:

Scott Powers @ByScottPowers
Was told Anisimov and Seabrook haven't been contacted to waive no-movement clauses as of now.

whoa!

You'd think if the Hawks were gonna move Crawford they would have tried to hold on to Darling. Hossa makes the most sense for the Hawks but the list of teams that would take him would be short and he's a tough sell.

Is Hjalmarsson involved in rumours?

I would love to have him, can't see the Hawks moving him though.

No way they move on from Crawford as that would put them in the same boat as the Flames which is highly undesirable. As you say they would have held on to Darling if they were planning to move Crawford.

Not sure who this guy is but FWIW...

#NHL news for #Blackhawks fans...looks like they are sending #MarcusKruger to Las Vegas. I'm told it's a done deal. Details coming soon

Kruger's the guy most often mentioned in trade rumors.

'Core guy' lol

He's been their hard matchup center for two cup runs.

Kruger has negative trade value, right?

The guy who posted the rumour said a "Core" guy is being moved, and in a separate deal, Kruger will be moved. Kruger is not the core guy he was referring to.

Wasn't Kruger a guy the hawks were going to use to "pay off" LV to not take someone?

from friedman's 30 thoughts:

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/3...pansion-draft/

feeling is NJ will take a d-man in the 1st round and maybe would consider dropping a couple of spots to Vancouver's pick and still get the guy they want

Chicago will try to make a splash at the draft by moving up

Monday 5pm ET is the deadline for teams to ask players to waive NMC for the expansion draft

sounds like Vegas and Columbus are working on a deal (possibly involving David Clarkson and involving Columbus' 1st and young forwards in the AHL)

word is Senators have asked Phaneuf to waive his NMC for the expansion draft

heard Florida has asked Yandle to waive NMC for expansion draft

Kypreos is convinced Vegas will take MAF in the expansion draft but Friedman thinks Vegas will then flip him to another team

predicts Fowler will sign for $6.5 mil per and 8 years with the Ducks

despite reports doesn't think the Ducks are in on E. Kane. Vatanen-Drouin swap makes sense though

if Lightning don't get Vatanen, perhaps Drouin for Brodin/Dumba could be worked out

one exec indicated that the Flames told them re: Bennett "we’re not interested in plugging one hole by opening another."

LOL bunch of pricks. Just signed him last year. I hope he doesn't agree to that. They need to lose one of Pysyk or Petrovic.

Of course that looks like Tallon having to clean up the mess Rowe made.

Oooh, if Yandle refuses to waive, and Pysyk is on the market, we should be all over that. IMO Pysyk would be an upgrade over Stone.

I like Petrovic even more than Pysyk myself. 25 year old 6'4" 215lb right shooting Dman who can skate and move the puck. He's a blossoming young modern day shut down defender.

Either would be a great add, but if Vegas takes one they won't likely trade him away.

It's funny because with all the talk about Anaheim and Minny needing to move a quality young defender or lose him to Vegas, no one talks about FLA who have Ekblad, Yandle, Demers, Petrovic and Pysyk.

If they're asking Yandle to waive, then they may also be planning on leaving Demers exposed as well who was also a Rowe addition.

Doesn't make sense for the Flames unless it is after expansion draft as they would have to radically alter their protection list or entice Vegas to take someone else. And if it is after the expansion draft no need for the Panthers to move him.

Good, now we can finally put this to bed.

[H2SO4(aq)]

God the last thing we need is ducks getting e kane, a big mean dbag that can skate and score, add more size to their dbag team. Really hope treliving somehow lands him. Would be awesome to have him and chucky pissing them off instead next season
