I Love Trades: Rumor Time

i think you are carrying this Weber head lock punishment too far Dash

Preds need a Dman to replace Suter and JayBo's contract will help them reach the cap floor. It's a win-win for both teams matty.

Do I think Suter will come to Calgary? No I do not, however that doesn't change the fact the the Preds have a big hole on the defense that they need to fill. JayBo certainly eats up minutes and is the current ironman in the NHL, and when you look at some of the other defensemen available, it's not a bad solution for two years.

A trade of Jay-Bo for Suter's rights actually does kind of make sense for both sides. Calgary wants that contract off their books, so even if they can't sign Suter, the deal would free up cap space to target someone else, and the Predators need a blueliner and aren't going to be able to resign Suter, so this is basically like filling a hole for free for them.

Neither side really gives up anything or takes much a risk, and both sides get some upside out of the deal, basically for free.

Nope. Logic has nothing to do with it. We all know that he's going to Pittsburgh. 'Nuff said.

Well, obviously. But that doesn't mean Calgary can't trade for his rights and then fail to sign him before we scoop him up.

Look on the bright side, no more JayBo contract or curse.

Yes...yes I do still love trades.

Now that Krueger is the Oilers coach are their any rumors about Streit headed to Edmonton?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Caps are about to trade the rights to Jizz....


Detroit?

Id like him, but I am slightly worried to find out what he wants/what he'll get.

If it's Detroit, then they think they're out of the Parise running. Can't see it any other way.

 

[pixburgher66]

And Semin can go West. I'd prefer that. Crazy talented guy, and I could see Detroit being a really good place for him.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

They would still have to sign him. He may go KHL.

Anyway:

Why is everyone obsessed with this Schultz kid. he hasn't even played a minute of hockey yet in the NHL, right?

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Islanders have two 4th round picks in 2013 & Parenteau is saying goodbye. We'll take him, but he ain't gettin anywhere near 6.7M.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

You can keep Parenteau.

He's only 22 years old & has to be signed to an ELC contract. Supposedly he's NHL ready. 26 teams made the attempt to get him. Obviously they see him as a can't miss NHLer.

Detroit has tons of cap space, they can sign Semin and still find room for Suter...

/I'm not saying they should sign Semin, by the way...

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

You can keep Parenteau.

I didn't say they were trading him. He's an UFA & the Isles aren't resigning him.
