canuckbeliever Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 In hopes of making the trade rumor section a less of a cluster fu**, here is 1 section with all the early morning rumors Kings Still Shopping Following Jeff Carter's trade to the Los Angeles Kings, the team appears to still have several irons in the fire according to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie. McKenzie, who was on the NHL on TSN panel on Thursday night, said that the Kings were still talking to a number of teams about their goaltenderJonathan Bernier in their quest to add another forward. McKenzie also stated that the captain of the team, Dustin Brown is also a player that could get moved. McKenzie reports that the teams with the highest level of interest in Brown are Boston, Buffalo, Edmonton, New Jersey, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Toronto and Vancouver. The Final Push on Hemsky and Nash? TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported late on Thursday that the Edmonton Oilers are making a final push toward re-signing forwardAles Hemsky. Dreger stated that there is still a lot of teams interested in the forward if the Oilers can't make a deal. Dreger also reports that the Maple Leafs are going to push Columbus for a decision on Rick Nash, and would like to know by Saturday which way they will go. He says the New York Rangers will likely do the same, and that Kings forward Brown is the Plan B. Talking Points ESPN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun says a source told him that the Kings actually made an offer at one point for both Rick Nash and Jeff Carter, but settled for just Carter. He also agrees that there are many suitors for L.A.'s Dustin Brown and the Stars' Steve Ott, and mentions that Dallas is also interested in James van Riemsdyk. Blue Jackets Not Done Yet According to the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline, the fact that the Blue Jackets dealt Jeff Carter on Thursday does not impact the market forRick Nash, who is still available for the right price. Portzline also reportsthat the Edmonton Oilers have expressed interest in defencemanMarc Methot, who is under contract through the 2014-15 season. Wanting to Stay Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer states that Flyers forwardJames van Riemsdyk, who is believed to be on the trade market, wants to stay with the team. "This is where I want to be," van Riemsdyk said. Over the Moen The Canadian Press states that Montreal Canadiens forward Travis Moen, who is set to become a free agent on July 1, is unavailable. Moen is currently on injured reserve. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=388728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DhillonCanuck Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hopefully we can get one of Brown, Morrow or Ott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{nhl} Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think Schnieder for Brown would be a good straight up trade if LA needed a goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire_Spiky Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Brown would be a nice addiction to our top 6. The added right handed shot and his gritty play would be an ideal fit. The only concern would be the cost to get there captain and if he would mesh in the locker room here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goblix Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 From the list I would want Brown the most.. Strong, Hits a ton, good cap hit, and is a legit top 6 right winger that can play on the 3rd as well. I heard he can play on the left wing as well but we're littered with left wingers its about time we have a natural right winger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{nhl} Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 L.A.'s shopping a goalie, why would they trade for Schneids? If he's a salary dump, Raymond and picks/prospects is a much more likely deal (not that L.A. couldn't get better value for their captain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel_3 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Brown had 300 hits last year. Yes, Please! But L.A wants a solid 2nd liner and quality young defenseman...Raymond isn't a 'solid' 2nd liner and I wonder how Tanev's value would be with other teams?

{nhl} Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It doesn't actually say but I'd assume because: 1) Carter is there it bumps Brown off the spot 2) Maybe LA wants Richards to take over the Captaincy and the room 3) Salary juggling To me the biggest reason would be the second one as I don't know why LA, a struggling offensive team, would trade away a 30 point guy this season thus far... and it looks like they have the cap to fit him this year.

Boudrias Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Brown is not equal to Schneider by any stretch. 2/3 RW does not equal a franchise goaltender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giroux28 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The most logical trading partner for LA involving Brown would have to be Toronto. They have so many defencemen and I think a player like Schenn might interest LA. I don't think Vancouver has the pieces unless they are looking for prospects and picks (Schroeder, 2nd, 3rd?)

goblix Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 IMO the biggest reason is they have a huge hole on defence. I would take it to the bank that if LA trades brown, they will get a d-man in return. Doughty Mitchell Scuderi Greene Martinez Drewiske Doughty is not playing at his best and if you see any of those top 4 dmen get injured, you can easily say bye bye to their playoff run/hopes.
