I Love Trades: Rumor Time

[pixburgher66]

David Pagnotta ‏ @TheFourthPeriod
If Chicago's willing to move their 1st round pick (with a prospect), good chance they can get their hands on Grabovski.

The price continues to be high. Yeesh. A first rounder used to mean a whole lot more. Grabovski would be a great pick up, but he's very likely a rental...1st+ for a rental?

Rumor in the Pittsburgh twittersphere is that the Pens won't move their 1st because the draft is in Pittsburgh...


Now, not that I want them to move their first for someone not worth it, but seriously? If there is an opportunity to make a move and you don't because the draft is in Pitt, that's just silly...

Twitter right now:

"Well, it's quiet in (insert this city). Told that (insert this GM) won't make a move until the market price starts to fall."

Unless it's sellers...plenty of rumors there.

I wonder if anyone would take Joel Ward off of our hands......

The early hours of deadline day really are like Christmas. The Christmas when you got purple socks and cologne that smells like yak sweat.

Where's that seal picture...


I keed, I keed. Just not the best contract on your hands there.

Joel Ward, Jeff Schultz and a 1st for Briere and Carle?

Sounds like NHL GM's and fans are doing what most parents do with their kids- Over-rate their talent. Let's show some stones, people

LOLZ. I love Bucci.

Broadstreet Bullies trying to be more ghetto? Hahaha, acquire a second black man and get rid of the scrawny Frenchie.

As per @DarrenDreger, NYI are now taking offers on P.A. Parenteau. But not goalie Evgeny Nabokov. #TradeCentre #tsn

Let the bidding begin on Parenteau.

@DarrenDreger
PA Parenteau would prefer to stay with the Islanders, however, sources say the Isles are now taking offers on the pending UFA. #tradecentre

Parenteau could be a huge pick up for many teams. Personally, I'd love to have the guy, but I'm sure the price is rather high. Is he a W or C?

I still se potential in Ward to be a solid 3rd line grinder on a team with lots of offensive weapons. Just look at Simmonds this year, yes he's talented but without all the offensive depth I doubt he produces at the pace he is this year. I just think it's Briere's time for a change of scenery and wingers.

Why would the Isles shop him?

Josh Yohe ‏ @JoshYohe_Trib
@TPBderek I was one of 3 people in room. He never said he wouldn't trade first round pick. Said he never likes doing so.

That makes me feel better.

He plays W

Fear of him hitting the market. They could get a big return and still potentially go after him in FA>

So close...to...

@Proteautype
Garth Snow tried leaning on P.A. Parenteau's sense of loyalty to get a discounted contract done & that didn't work. He'll likely be moved
