I’m unsure what this would even be regardless of how much I want to believe your “source” Who do they have on the trade block actually worth our attention? Quote

WildCard Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Realistically, who is left that needs Risto + in return for a possible top 6 forward? Quote

darksabre Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Just now, WildCard said: Realistically, who is left that needs Risto + in return for a possible top 6 forward? I was actually just giving this some thought. Here's where I'm at. St. Louis - They have a bunch of RFAs they need to qualify. Risto for Schenn and a pick/prospect. Schenn is about the same salary and has one year left on his deal. St. Louis gives us a pick because Risto has term whereas Schenn is basically a rental. He's a good stop-gap 2nd line center. Maybe the return is higher if we also take another cap dump. It could also be Risto for Perron depending on the NTC. Vegas - I'm not sure on this one, mostly because I think Risto is too clumsy for Vegas' style of play. I think they might honestly want someone with more "jump", but they need D and Stastny would be a good return for us. Anaheim - They need D and they have a TON of forwards. They aren't in cap trouble this year, but they will be next year, so they might want to move some money this year so they can handle their RFAs next year. Quote

However I don’t think anyone is infatuated, we are all just looking for a solid talent that can fill the gap while Mitts matures. Johansson can play center or winger, and once Casey matures he can play top 9 wing or 3rd line center. He is exactly the type of player this roster needs for 3 years. By the way, anyone think Nashville will trade Granlund now that they’ve signed Duchene? I’d even take Craig Smith off their hands for a 4th round pick. Edited July 2, 2019 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

I get he's not ideal but I don't get the love for him. Now, I do understand people don't wanna date him ? He's hurt a ton, wants 5 years, and puts up meh numbers. 1 minute ago, Curtisp5286 said: Winnipeg for sure needs D. Lost Trouba and Myers. Has interesting F’s and needs cap relief.

However, when healthy he is a 45-55 pts guy on a team where he doesn’t have to carry the offensive load. That’s us in a nutshell. He’ll be a firm no. 2 to start next season and I think he’ll thrive there with Reinhart. 1 Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 I'd much rather trade for Gusev and give him the $4Mx2 he's reportedly looking for than sign Johansson for $5Mx5 or whatever. 2 1 Quote
WildCard Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Also, Edmonton hasn't made any significant moves with Pulujarvi wanting out, neither has Tampa with their cap crunch...we're far from over here with this offseason 3 Quote

That’s not really an either/or situation, they play different positions. Quote
pi2000 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Gusev hasn't played a minute of NHL hockey, and he's 27.... most goals he's ever scored in one KHL season is 24. Antipin part duex? Quote
sabills Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Does Gusev want 4x2, or 2x2? I thought I saw 2x2, which seems worthy of a flyer to me. Quote

I don’t know if he will be successful in the NHL or not, but his KHL production, and size, is pretty close to Panarin at the same age. 1 Quote
