Trade Deadline Predictions Thread

[OILFAN #81]

Hey all,

I thought it would be fun to list some of the top rumored names and predict where they would go. I can add in some other names as we get closer to the deadline (17 days away!) I'll start:

Jacob Markstrom, G - Devils
Chris Tanev, D - Stars
Noah Hanifin, D - Bruins
Jake Guentzel, LW - Kings
Vladimir Tarasenko, RW - Oilers
Adam Henrique, C - Hurricanes
Sean Walker, D - Maple Leafs
Scott Laughton, F - Avalanche
Alexander Carrier, D - Canucks
Jordan Eberle, RW - Rangers

[Tbull8]

Eberle feels like a very Rangers pickup to me too. Replace Wheeler on PP2

[SuperMatt18]

Markstrom + Rooney - Devils for Mercer + 1st
Tanev - Stars for Kyrou + 2024 2nd
Hanifin - Panthers for Lundell + 2026 1st
Guentzel - Pittsburgh - Re-signs
Henrique - Avalanche for 2026 2nd + 2025 3rd
Laughton - Oilers
Walker - Flyers - Re-signs
Eberle - Vegas

[Paulie Walnuts]

Markstrom - New Jersey
Tanev - New Jersey
Hanifin - Florida
Guentzel - No trade
Henrique - Edmonton
Walker - Stars
Laughton - Calgary

[Robbob]

Is Hall done for the year? Maybe Oilers could grab him and Eberle and have players from rebuilds 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 on the same team.

[Canada 02]

Just to be different

Marky - Kings
Hanifin - Blues
Tanev - Vegas

[dammage79]

Hanifin= FLA for Lundell and LHD Lucas Carlsson
Markstrom (50% retained) = NJD (way too much smoke there), for 2024 1st, Holtz and Casey .
Tanev= Dallas for 1st


Flames acquire:
Kakko and Quick for Vlad and Mangiapane and Vancouver 1st.

Oilers will announce the signing of another all offence/no defence forward, this time from somewhere in Europe.

Someone on Twitter will spend all of 38 seconds on Google to find out that he's currently wanted for murdering his entire family with an axe. Oilers will respond with, "No comment, other than to say it takes commitment and follow-through to win a Stanley Cup - which is something we know a great deal about." Oilers media will post a chart they already had done up and ready to go, showing how axe-murdering has no impact on a player's ability to play hockey (attempting to reassure fans who might think otherwise) - along with a blurb about how he's been a model citizen since arriving in Edmonton earlier that day.

The NHL will announce that their investigation into the player proved inconlusive, and therefore the player will be allowed to play this season.

I’m predicting disappointment

[iloveicedhockey]

Zadorov to Toronto for a 3rd, via Calgary (50 percent retained). Flames get 4th.
Tre offers conny five 7th round picks and Ryan Reaves for Tanev. Conny blocks Brad's number.
Markstrom to the devils for David Putty. Putty then flipped to the Rangers for Fox.
Conny lines up Tanev to the grease for Holloway and a 2nd, only to never process the trade and at the last minute sends him to Dallas instead for a 2nd. Frank joins CP to rub it in all our faces.
Hanifin to Boston for Jakub Zboril, Jake DeBrusk, and Zachary Senyshyn (re-acquired from the DEL team for a preseason friendly). Louie DeBrusk retires from sports net and media in general as he can't reconcile his love for the oilers with having to support his son playing for the flames.
Huberdeau straight to our hearts when he finishes the season PPG.

Why would the Rangers trade Quick who has been great for them?

[ComixZone]

Hanifin -> Vegas (2024 1st, 2024 2nd, 2025 2nd with extension)

Tanev -> Vancouver (2025 1st)

Markstrom (33% retained) -> New Jersey (2025 1st, Casey, Vanecek, 2026 3rd)

No Holtz or mercer. Sad panda lol

[Harry Lime]

Markstrom to Devils for Holtz and 2nd
Tanev and Vancouver 1st to Dallas for Bischel and 2nd
Hanafin to Florida for Lundell and 2nd
Mangiapane to NYR for Schneider

Retention as needed.

[gvitaly]

Jacob Markstrom, G - Flames
Chris Tanev, D - Islanders
Noah Hanifin, D - Lightning
Jake Guentzel, LW - Avalanche
Vladimir Tarasenko, RW - Kings (If Arvidsson is back soon, then Rangers)
Sean Walker, D - Oilers
Jordan Eberle, RW - Canes
Chychrun - Red Wings / Knights
Henrique - Panthers
Duclair - Rangers
Jake Allen - Devils
Carrier - Leafs

I'm not going to make guesses, but I dont really care so long as Tanev and Hanifin are gone by the deadline.

I dont mind re-signing Hanifin, Tanev seems like damaged goods regardless of how much I like and respect him.

Markstrom? Theres no ticking clock there so Conroy can be patient.

The one that I find interesting that nobody seems to mention?

Kylington.

He's a UFA too. What do you do with him?

[Roof-Daddy]

Markstrom -> not traded until the summer
Hanifin -> retained and extended to Dallas for Lundqvist, Bourque, and a pick
Tanev -> to Carolina for 2 x 2nd round picks

[transplant99]

Jacob Markstrom, G - Stays
Chris Tanev, D - Stars
Noah Hanifin, D - Canes
Jake Guentzel, LW - Avs
Vladimir Tarasenko, RW - Vegas
Adam Henrique, C - Bruins
Sean Walker, D - No idea
Scott Laughton, F - Stays
Alexander Carrier, D - Tampa
Jordan Eberle, RW - Panthers

I would hope by now management has some idea if he wants to stay or would like a change of scenery or wants a crazy raise.

I also hope that standing by him through the last 2 years has earned the Flames some loyalty.

I'd try to sign him before the deadline at his current $2.5 x 2 yrs - $2 in year 1, $3 in year 2. If he won't sign before the deadline, then he should return, what? a 3rd? maybe a 2nd?

(I don't think there is any chance he would sign a "show me" deal of less than $2.5)

[OILFAN #81]

Made this post last week. I think the only changes I would make would be Henrique/Tarasenko.
