It's difficult to summarize because there were so many potential trades commented on. One interesting comment dealt with Arizona and the trading of Chychrun. There was the thought that Arizona overplayed its hand by waiting to trade him. It was felt that the trading of other defensemen for more reasonable prices devalued the return on Chychrun. The Shayna Goldman segment was worth listening to. The Dreger segment wasn't. 

Is it ever?

Every once in a while, he will give an inside scoop. For the most part his responses are so general that they are meaningless.

They suggest the Sabres should be in on this trade. The ask, 2023 1st, Ryan Johnson and Rasmus Asplund.  The AAV is bigger than Chychrun, but not that much more.  Risk is the 7 years remaining and taking him until he is 36, but the cost (if accurate) is much less for what could be a more stabilizing force for a guy like Power, than Chychrun.  
 

Parayko is low - #30 on TSN trade bait.

No. The length of the contract makes him unappealing. I would rather give up less costly assets for a third pairing defenseman who is in the Lyubushkin strata.

Kane sent home by Hawks

He's got good hockey left but idk about that many years. 

He could possibly end up the grizzled vet on a cup team some day though.

No. Speculation is Rangers but the tweet was cryptic 😀

Yeah I noticed it as I was hitting send 🫠

[Crusader1969]

I still like the idea of Meier without an extension in place at the right price.

Off the main roster either mitts or olofsson

any prospect not named Kulich or Savoie 

Plus 2023 1st and 2nd 

admittedly it probably won’t be enough to get the Sharks to bite  

 

[Flashsabre]

Talbot has a 69% quality start percentage which is 4th in the NHL behind Linus Ullmark, Connor Hellebuyck, and Filip Gustavsson.

I would feel much better with him in net then Comrie.

 

Wsh hammering NYR. Jensen might not be available. Have to slap the Caps around tomorrow😀

Career wise very healthy, signed long term, cup winner. Is he on the decline or just the blues having a bad year? I’d rather have him than chychrun

I want to keep Östlund. He's like Krebs, feisty.

I would think Levi is our most important prospect right now.

Comrie for Talbot any day

[Night Train]

 UPL in February 

 .856 SV    5.35 GA 

  ACK !   

 Keep eyes open this next week. He needs Rochester.

Don't understand how people give value to a college player about to be a UFA in a month.  Johnson has very little trade value,  if any. 

[sweetlou]

Depending on how long Tuch is on IR we need another big winger who can score...

Meier, Jeanette, Wilson, Anderson, or Crouse?  Who should KA target?

Chychrun would be a great pick up. Talented Defenseman with size. Which is needed. And still has a year left under his deal. 

Wonder what AZ are asking? If not asking a first then I'd be interested. Maybe we could send them Bryson and a 3rd? 😉

Why would he be a more stabilizing force than Chychrun? Did they expound on that? 

Chychrun is under contract through 2024 and won't ruin our cap; and if he moves on then Power will be entering his 3rd season and shouldn't need a "stabilizing force" by then.

It does depend on how long Tuch is on IR. But, I would not give away a ton of assets just to replace Tuch while he is injured. Now, to add to the mix of a two-way forward - which is desperately needed, imo - that would be great.

Could have had a winger for 2nd round pick. Would have helped us for sure.

We shall see, but would be surprised if this news changes Adams strategy for the next 6 days.

[Ctaeth]

I'd be surprised if it is not Vinny Hinny back to the NHL.  Granato really believes in the guy
