Eleven Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 With one week to go, it's time. Please keep this thread to actual trades and discussion thereof. We have a great speculation / rumor thread for speculation and rumors. Toronto: Polak and Spaling to Sharks for Torres and 2 2d round picks. Quote
darksabre Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 It will be very interesting to see what Murray sells off this year. I have a feeling some of us wont like some of the moves. Quote
dudacek Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Questions to ponder as the market sets: Is Cody Franson better than Roman Polak? How about Josh Gorges? Jamie McGinn? Quote
Brawndo Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 It will be very interesting to see what Murray sells off this year. I have a feeling some of us wont like some of the moves. I wouldn't be surprised if Zemgus went somewhere Quote
Rasmus_ Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Questions to ponder as the market sets: Is Cody Franson better than Roman Polak? How about Josh Gorges? Jamie McGinn? Question 1: Yes, better than Polak Question 2: Yes, better than Polak Question 3: Enter any team with a chance at the playoffs needing an around the net clanker with good locker room veteran instincts.

That Aud Smell Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 It will be very interesting to see what Murray sells off this year. I have a feeling some of us wont like some of the moves. And I think - I think that would likely be a good thing. A sign that good things were accomplished. Quote
Rasmus_ Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 And I think - I think that would likely be a good thing. A sign that good things were accomplished. He's open and honest that he'll get what he can in the marketplace for pending free agents. The interesting area will be: Moulson, Ennis, etc and possibly if he moves a pending RFA. Quote
inkman Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if Zemgus went somewhere His value is pretty low right now Quote

Derrico Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Man I hope Liger makes it back for the deadline. His immediate overreactions to Sabres trades bring me great entertainment. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Can we get this puppy pinned for a week, or so? Paging anyone that can do that. Quote
Weave Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 I HATE Raffi Torres being in the same division. Quote
Eleven Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 I HATE Raffi Torres being in the same division. Well, don't worry, because he's in the AHL Pacific Division and is likely to stay there. They're not even moving him to the Marlies. Quote
Taro T Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Well, don't worry, because he's in the AHL Pacific Division and is likely to stay there. They're not even moving him to the Marlies. Considering the Marlies already have a couple of non-Loafs loaned to them, they'd probably have to drop someone they do want to find room for him. Quote
#freejame Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Well, don't worry, because he's in the AHL Pacific Division and is likely to stay there. They're not even moving him to the Marlies. I forgot who that just happened to recently, but is this a newer thing? I don't really recall teams letting players play for other AHL squads, but I guess team control doesn't matter too much with guys like Torres Quote
tom webster Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 I forgot who that just happened to recently, but is this a newer thing? I don't really recall teams letting players play for other AHL squads, but I guess team control doesn't matter too much with guys like Torres It is not really a new thing. As Taro pointed out, Washington loaned Olaf Kolzig to Rochester, then a Buffalo affiliate, many moons ago. There other examples. Teams rarely do it now mostly because they prefer to keep a closer eye on their own prospects. Quote

Hoss Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 AJ Jakubec @AJonSports Hearing Canucks & Flames have completed a deal. Markus Granlund to VAN. Hunter Shinkaruk to CGY. Not sure what else is involved. #NHL Quote

WildCard Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Vancouver doesn't have any idea what route they want to take, do they? Them and the Sharks. Quote

Edit: Maybe I'm underrating Granlund. Corey Pronman give the small edge to Vancouver: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sobp90 Edited February 22, 2016 by TrueBlueGED Quote

Corey Pronman give the small edge to Vancouver: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sobp90 They probably aren't in a stage where they should be trying to patch a roster by giving up prospects, regardless of how much better Granlund is than what they gave up. He's certainly not going to push them over the edge, but might be enough to keep them away from a franchise player in the draft. Them and the Sharks. At least the Sharks have a decent core of talent, with Burns/Vlasic/Pavelski/Couture, and those old guys Marleau and Thornton. Vancouver has the old guys (Sedin twins) and not much else. Edler? Vrbata? I love Horvat but they should be looking to build a core with him and young pieces/draft picks, not the Brandon Sutters and Granlunds of the world Quote
Brawndo Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Canucks Twitterverse is not approving of this trade. Quote
#freejame Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Canucks Twitterverse is not approving of this trade. Neither are the 'nucks fans on reddit. Not approving would probably be the understatement of the century based off of what I've read. Quote
