Trade Speculation and Rumors 2018-19

[TrueBlueGED]

Skinner is diving, whiny diva putz.

I hate him with the fury of a thousand suns. Nobody who ever complained about Derek Roy is allowed to want Skinner. Neither is anyone who thinks the team is too soft.

So put True in the undecided camp in regards to Skinner

[Randall Flagg]

I would totally get a Skinner jersey if he got traded here and signed an extension.

Meeting between Elias Lindholm camp and Hurricanes' brass did not go well today, I'm told. Still far apart on a contract. A trade now is very much possible.

This is more than 50% because he shares the name of my favorite television character of all time

I don't understand how you can like Skinner and hate Pacioretty. Is it just an age/contract thing?

I think Derek Roy is dreeeeamy.

Per LeBrun Four Teams kicked the tires on Max Pacioretty

The next time I see Pacioretty play passionate hockey will be the first. I also have a thing for elegant skaters. Skinner's edges might have been the best in the league before McDavid (and Dahlin :) ) came in. 

 

By no means do I think Skinner is close to a perfect player though. He actually shares some of Evander's maddening tendencies.

Yasss, someone on my side. Come in to the Skinner Bunker.

The edges thing explains your mancrush on Hughes.

 

And there's no way in the world you're convincing me Skinner plays meaningfully more intense hockey than Patches.

I dislike Skinner, open the door and let me in

Do I have the means in the form of access to video and time? No. Do I have the ability? Of course!

Skinner is a bum, on the other hand Lindholm is a player I'd love to return in a deal for Ryan O'Reilly. If they were willing to send him here with a 2nd and another piece.

Like Hanifin-big?

Per Mike Kelly

 

Further to this, contract negotiations between Hurricanes and Elias Lindholm appear to have hit a wall. Trade possible / likely today. Blackhawks are in the mix.

[Randall Flagg]

I saw a tweet that said Bergevin and Botterill just shook hands and entered the transaction room :O

[Trettioåtta]

McGuire says Jeff Skinner is going West, says a deal is close to done. He adds Canes expect to have three 1st RD picks tonight, one would come from a Skinner deal and one would come from a Hanifin deal.

Whack.

Nobody seems to know this source so disregard.

[Brawndo]

Friedman asked Bergevin: "You had a lengthy conversation with Jason Botterill, is there anything going on with Buffalo?"

 

MB answered: "We were talking about the combine and what a nice set up it was, talking about how we should come back next year *smiles*"

 

Bergevin then immediately said 95% chance he's using the pick but started laughing and smiling while trying to answer if anything was up with them and Buffalo

I'm inviting Bergevin over for poker next week. Anyone want to join in?
