Hoss Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Backes is a UFA after this season and has a full no-trade clause. Makes no sense to pursue him prior to free agency or even then. Quote
WildCard Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 You forgot to mention Vrbata in Vancouver. Also the report from Damian Cox that Keith Yandle WILL be traded by the deadline. We'll be an interesting team at the deadline, too. Not likely to the whole league but there's some intrigue here. Rumors of Ennis. Johnson, McGinn, Weber, Legwand and Colaiacovo are UFAs. Will Murray try to dump Moulson? Good catch on Vrbata, and I never heard that about Yandle. My mouth started watering there. I left on the Sabres stuff because I figured most here would understand who we're trying to dump/potential trades Backes is a UFA after this season and has a full no-trade clause. Makes no sense to pursue him prior to free agency or even then. He's the perfect guy for a playoff push. The only worry I have at trading away/obtaining Backes, is his 'C' status. Does that leave too large a hole in St.Louis, especially if they lose Ott? Is that too big a presence to bring into a team in contention? Quote
Norcal Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Backes is a UFA after this season and has a full no-trade clause. Makes no sense to pursue him prior to free agency or even then.Ok. Free agency is fine too. Sign him for 2-3 years and let Baptiste,Bailey et al develop in Rochester Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Can't see murray making any big moves, he'll just unload our UFA's , the only one I can see him get a late 1st rounder for is McGinn. Maybe ennis for a LHD, but who wants that injury bug this year ? Quote
Hoss Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Would anybody be willing to trade Ennis plus for Yandle, who is an upcoming UFA? Moving Ennis and a few parts mainly for an extended negotiation window and some time with fellow Boston boy Jack. Quote

Moving Ennis and a few parts mainly for an extended negotiation window and some time with fellow Boston boy Jack. No. Ennis has real value, not trading him for a pending UFA like Yandle. And I like Yandle and would like to sign him if possible. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Would anybody be willing to trade Ennis plus for Yandle, who is an upcoming UFA? Moving Ennis and a few parts mainly for an extended negotiation window and some time with fellow Boston boy Jack.No, not if his heart is in Boston this summer like I've heard could be the case. Quote
Hoss Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 No, not if his heart is in Boston this summer like I've heard could be the case. I don't know if there's any legitimacy to that. I haven't seen anybody report it like you've seen with Stamkos. People just know it makes sense as a fit. No. Ennis has real value, not trading him for a pending UFA like Yandle. And I like Yandle and would like to sign him if possible. Yandle has value, too. I would say Yandle has more value as a UFA straight up compared to Ennis. Quote

Will Murray try to dump Moulson? I'm positive Murray would like to dump Moulson, and nearly certain he won't be able to. Would anybody be willing to trade Ennis plus for Yandle, who is an upcoming UFA? Moving Ennis and a few parts mainly for an extended negotiation window and some time with fellow Boston boy Jack. No. Despite his down season, you don't trade a cost controlled 45 point forward for a negotiating window. Quote
Thorner Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 I don't know if there's any legitimacy to that. I haven't seen anybody report it like you've seen with Stamkos. People just know it makes sense as a fit. Yandle has value, too. I would say Yandle has more value as a UFA straight up compared to Ennis. I phrased that poorly. I didn't mean to imply Yandle doesn't have value. I meant that Ennis does have good value and is worth more than a pending UFA. If Yandle was guaranteed to stay (and he's not), I would be a lot more open to it. No. Despite his down season, you don't trade a cost controlled 45 point forward for a negotiating window. Ya, like this. Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Montreal really going hard after Drouin it seems. Read somewhere Drouin was pushing his agent for Montreal, Buffalo and Toronto. I'm inclined to say Murray should stay away from this bidding war. Not willing to give up more than Zemgus + 3rd or larsson + 2nd. edit: then again don't want girgensons traded within my division :P Also everything that is being offered will be overpayment, we should just stay out of it and draft puljujarvi. And girgensons and larsson have proven they can play in the NHL, drouin not so much. Edited January 19, 2016 by Huckleberry Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 I'd trade Girgensons yesterday for Drouin. Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 I'd be very interested in the source for this Yeah I'm at work , read it somewhere on sunday also at work , see if I'm going to find it. Just a rumour though, but would make sense , he is bound to get more playing time with those teams. I'd trade Girgensons yesterday for Drouin. The more I think about it, the less I would want to do that. Girgensons is an excellent 3C, the only way I can persuaded to do this one is that in 3 years time our Center depth might be Eichel - Reinhart - RoR. Quote

I thought he was going to be, and maybe he still will, but I really don't think so. He's absolutely not there right now. I think he looks much better on the wing than he does at center, and I think he's more if a top-6 complementary piece than a 3rd line shutdown player. Quote
Hoss Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Posted January 19, 2016 I'd trade Girgensons yesterday for Drouin. Me three. I think Girgensons will be a solid 3C, but I think Drouin has a bigger impact with ease. Quote
Hoss Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Posted January 19, 2016 Johnson and McGinn doing well to boost their value as the deadline approaches. Quote
3putt Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 RNH out with broken hand. Looks like he may be off the market. Quote
WildCard Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 RNH out with broken hand. Looks like he may be off the market.Or does that make him more on the market? Cause I want RNH on my team Quote
beerme1 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 Or does that make him more on the market? Cause I want RNH on my team Well last year it would for us lol. I don't know Ennis for RNH? Quote
WildCard Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 Well last year it would for us lol. I don't know Ennis for RNH?I wish. RNH is going to cost some serious pieces. As in, Risto type offers. Risto is untouchable for me, but I'd give a lot else up for RNH Quote
Derrico Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 Or does that make him more on the market? Cause I want RNH on my team Two years in a row we trade for a guy that won't play the rest of the year?? That's GMTM Zero given if that were to happen!! Quote
Eleven Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 So on SHH this morning, they were talking about the possibilities of trading Johnson and/or McGinn for draft picks at the deadline. I don't think I want that to happen. Whatever is going on with Chad Johnson, I want it to continue. Here. Yeah, I get that he's been a career backup. So was Tim Thomas. McGinn is a guy I'd like to see around next year. I think he's the Concept of Foligno, but actually there and not just a concept. And I'm done with watching the team stockpile picks. So unless Murray is going to turn those picks into actual players before the draft, I say no. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 And I'm done with watching the team stockpile picks. So unless Murray is going to turn those picks into actual players before the draft, I say no. I think that may be his plan. Quote
Derrico Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 I think that may be his plan. Agreed. Draft picks are currency. He used up a bunch of currency acquiring Kane and ROR. No reason we can't try to sign them in the offseason if TM so chooses. Quote
