J.I.A.H.N Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) So, just looking for trade thoughts on 2 different races in the East.With Toronto pulling the trigger on the O'Reilly trade, it seems like they have one upped the other top contenders.Aka...........Boston, New Jersey, Tampa and Carolina.............Late add to the post........forgot Tarasenko and Motte to the RangersAnyone think they have to add a big name........or are they all standing pat?Same thing at the bottom of the Conference, with the Islanders adding Horvat, do any of the teams vying for the 7 and 8 spots add?Right now, there is Pittsburg, Islanders, Washington, Florida, Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa, all fighting for those 2 last spots, only 5 points separating all of them with some of the teams having up to 4 games in hand...........pretty tight!Any of those teams making moves?Who blinks next?Detroit fans say Larkin is staying, Toews is gone for the year with Long Covid recovery............who else is out there and available?

AlwaysACanuckFan Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm surprised Penguins Capitals, Red Wings haven't made a move yet considering Islanders already did with Horvat and Rangers making a splash in the market. Who's next I'm betting on Canes or Bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's next I'm betting on Canes or Bolts The Pens and Capitals I think they are getting the realization their core is near the end of the line. That keeping status quo is fine, but if they were smart they'd try and start picking up new pieces to build around.

Angry Goose Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I bet CAR is game planning big time. BOS I bet is motivated but NJD Im not too sure. NJD is probably the team most comfortable standing pat/doing minor depth trades. TBL are probably in the same boat as NJD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) I think it'll be Jersey next, probably by grabbing Meier. Which will leave teams like Carolina, Pittsburgh, and to a lesser extent Boston and Tampa scrambling. Could see Buffalo looking to add too, they're not that far out and they have tons of cap space. Washington too, they're still in it. Edited February 20 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Since Barzal has gone down to injury, has that put the Islanders out of it or does ol Lou get up to some last minute tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Green Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I agree sending Schenn back to T-Bay for another shot at a cup would be a nice move, my picks that involve Canucks would be, Boeser to Pittsburgh Miller to Carolina Garland to Jersey Myers to Toronto For prospects, cap dumps and high picks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkSave Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 My crystal ball is saying: EDM- Karlsson DAL- Barbashev CAL- L. Schenn VGK- P. Kane COL- Bjugstad WIN- JVR MIN- Boeser LA- Chycrun CAR- Domi BOS- Gavrikov NJ- Mier PIT- Nyqvist TB- Kulikov TOR- Edmundson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL is a business, if a deal was done then he'd be gone. TB isn't going to wait for a baby. There are valuable opportunities to gain points in the standings that could mean crucial home ice or not (not to mention potential injury to Schenn). That said I am surprised Pittsburgh hasn't done anything yet. Their only in a WC position by 1 measly point and Crosby/Malkin/Letang are getting older every day. Their biggest issue is literally half the roster has some sort of clause. I also expect: -Vegas to do something unexpected, because - Vegas. -Dallas to do something because their one of the oldest teams in the league and their window ain't staying open long. Pavel-Ski is turning 39yo this summer. -TB to do something because their old and their window is closing fast. -Washington, see TB above.

Yep me too. And also bet they've said they'd re-sign him in the Summer ... win win win. Hope so anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that there is a possibility that Tampa and Vancouver have an agreement in place for Tampa to take Schenn, if there is no better offer, and it will be tight to the deadline...........they do that for cap space, as it accumulates daily, so the longer they wait, the better. As for the understanding with Schenn, Tampa has a great relationship with Schenn, and I could easily see them giving him some extra time....as in 2 or 3 more days to report, above what the CBA says about time off.

No way a responsible NHL GM does that imo. What if you make an 'agreement' wt TB and a better offer comes along? What if Schenn gets hurt? Too many uncontrollable factors imo to be making 'agreements' with no guarantees? You make a trade or you don't, it's that simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn’t we just retain whatever the amount is on Schenn to accommodate the difference so he be traded now though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
