I think all teams in playoff contention would be interested. I said in another thread you couldn't find a much better fit than Pittsburgh or Minnesota for Hansen. Although Minnesota has a couple more intriguing pieces than Pittsburgh, so I'd try and work a deal with them if they're on Hansen's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIC_CITY Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's funny, I get the sense that people actually believe guys with term left on their contract aren't worth much because of the expansion draft, when in reality that couldn't be farther from the truth. Every year teams pay an arm and a leg for soon to be UFAs. But unlike those UFAs, teams have an opportunity to recoup some of their losses after the season (before the expansion draft) with players like Hansen. If a team trades for Hansen and isn't going to protect him, you can bet that there will be other teams out there that are willing to trade for him and protect him, thus recouping some of their losses. It's just bad business to let an asset go for nothing and you can bet teams will be looking at every avenue possible. So let's say a team like Pittsburgh offers up their 1st round pick and has no intentions of protecting Hansen. I'm pretty sure some other team would be willing to offer at least a 3rd rounder and a B prospect for him. That would be a steal for Hansen and neither team has anything to lose by making that trade. So I think people are undervaluing Hansen on CDC. He's still an asset at seasons end to whatever team we trade him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This is Pouliot's last season waivers-exempt. Keep in mind he still cannot make the Penguins roster, and over guys like Justin Schultz. If you are the Penguins and believe you need Hansen to make a second cup run, do you fire out a first and a prospect to get it done or sit on your hands and let someone else? What's a cup worth?

Pouliot is also a former player of Green if you wanted to read between the lines there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade deadline is littered with 'bad' deals where teams gave up far too much for far too little. At the very least Hansen is a great pro and has a great contract. He can play up and down the line up and do a good job. He has legit value. While I think a 1st is unlikely, you never know. I think a couple of seconds might be more likely however. Most recent bad deal that everyone should know is when Washington gave up a top six forward in Forsberg for Erat. Oh how Washington wishes they could have that deal back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I've watched him at all this year but his AHL stats don't look great for the type of d-man he was projected to be. Remember a few years back when we salivated at the thought of him coming to Vancouver in a Kesler deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was because at the time most of us didn't know who Hutton was, didn't have Juolevi or Tryamkin coming up and didn't a D prospect of Pouliot's potential in the system. Mind you he still has good potential, but not like it was then. It would be fun to see a Pouliot - Subban pairing for the rest of the season though.

Gaudette Celly Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Don't know where he's at in development and it looks like he's stagnated, but with our D being rebuilt, McEneny now showing well, and Brisebois and Juloevi coming soon, I'd rather see a good forward prospect in return. Other than Sprong, who's not likely available, not sure what else they've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In return he'd ask for a 1st and Poulliot. I heard that and about did a spit take... if that is even close, you do that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Pouliot has fallen so far down the depth chart that Pittsburgh would probably be thrilled to include him in a deal for an impact guy like Hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Rather have Guentzel or Sprong than Pouliot. We would need a young forward coming back not another defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Pouliot-Subban would be a dumpster fire defensively I bet. Not as bad as Anyone-Larsen though haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Ruhwedel has passed Pouliot on the depth chart. Take from that what you will. Although being eligible for waivers next year I could see Benning wanting him lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Then if you think about it, we could use either Pouliot or Hutton in a seperate trade to get either Landeskog/Duchene, or someone else like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTL is going to go balls for Duch. They should. Get Sprong or Guentzel. I don't think they need to be protected and both are solid offsensive forward prospects. One of them and a 1st would be a good return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthycanuck Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Adding a guy like Pouliot to our D-corps would pretty much set us up for the next 5 or so years Tanev Hutton Gudbranson Juolevi Stetcher Tyramkin Pouliot - Im assuming Edler is gone As much as I think Pouliot still has a lot of potential, rather than a 2nd round pick from another team that would be a great fit for Hansen which is the Blackhawks, I'd take a 3rd and Alex Debrincat, that kids small but sure knows how to put the puck in the net, big time. Either way, rather than getting a high pick, I'd rather take a slightly lower pick and a pretty nice prospect thats a bit older with upside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
