2012 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

[The Guid]

If the offer does not include one of those two defensemen, the first, AND Chris Kreider, you hang up the phone immediately.

I have a feeling that the Laffs are gonna insanely overpay for Nash.

 

[Yankees2772]

I don't want Nash if I have to give up MacD, MDZ, Kreider, Erixon, or any top prospect.

 

[The Guid]

Rightfully so but that's the price. Or should be anyway. Howson will fuck it up somehow.

The more trades that come out, the more I want the Bruins to stay away from the deals.

We’ve been hearing all about how the Maple Leafs, Rangers, and Sharks are all hot after Blue Jackets trade bait Rick Nash. What if there was a team sneaking up on the outside to land him?

Enter the Nashville Predators.

David Boclair of The City Paper in Nashville says that sources have told him that the Predators have made an offer to Columbus for Nash.

The Predators have made an offer of their own for the 27-year-old power forward, multiple sources have confirmed. While it seems unlikely the Blue Jackets would want to deal their best player to a division opponent that regularly whips up on them, the attempt to get Nash speaks to Poile’s attempts to satisfy his top players’ desire for more elite talent and to strengthen the team’s chances to make a significant playoff run.

Boclair spitballs that an offer involving Colin Wilson, Jonathon Blum or Ryan Ellis as well as other prospects or draft picks would likely be in any offer.

Based on other rumors for Nash, a young defenseman seems to be a must-have for the Jackets, but whether or not Preds GM David Poile would pony up someone like Ellis as part of an offer is up for debate. There’s also the fact that Nashville might not be on Nash’s list of teams he’d OK a deal to but let’s put that aside for now.

Of course, none of this is taking into thought the effect landing Nash would have on the Predators’ salary cap situation. The Preds still have to get deals worked out with Ryan Suter and Shea Weber and Nash’s $7.8 million cap hit would make things really awkward at the negotiating table with both defensemen.

Wings traded Commodore to Tampa for a 7th rounder.

Must be making room for a wing.

Slow trade deadline thus far. Looks like nothing big is going to happen today.

 

[snipezo]

Looks like Canucks have acquired Sammy Pahlson. Nice depth guy who has experience.

Kassian and Gragnani for Hodgson and Sulzer

 

[Teagz]

Canucks aren't messing around this year.

 

[.infamous]

Red Wings making some power moves lol

 

[The Guid]

Honestly, as much as I hate it, that trade works out huge for both teams.

 

[snipezo]

Man oh man. Hodgson was really into coming into his own here in Vancouver. At times he was actually one of better forwards on the ice. Very talented player. I'll definitely miss him.

Kassian is a guy that the Canucks need though. A big skilled and tough winger who's not afraid to get into dirty areas. Even though he hasn't had a productive rookie season, he has good potential and is only 21. Milan Lucic type of player possibly?

I like MA Gragnani as well. Canucks got a nice mobile defenseman who could move the puck very well. Nice replacement for Ballard who for some reason can't stay healthy to save his life.

Real sad that Hodgson was dealt. I have a feeling that he's gonna be a star in the league but I think Canucks got a pretty good deal imo.
