Official Trade Thread: Draft Edition

[pixburgher66]

Ryan hopes to be traded to Flyers | Courier-Post | courierpostonline.com

I take this as a Staal-esque "I want to play in Carolina"

FWIW, the analysts mentioned this article on the air during the draft

Don't understand Anaheim's dismissal of the guy. He's incredible. Also: I highly doubt JvR is enough. Obviously it wouldn't be just him, but I don't think JvR could be the center piece to that.

Gotta say Boss, congrats on Grigorenko. Cant believe he fell.

True, we did well on that one.

*hugs* Love you man. It's okay. It's of course easy for me to say. And I know, that's another option. It's a thought...but once again, more costly in terms of return. We'll see. It is however a safer option in that a trade is for a solidified player, waiting until FA starts is a risk.

The Dumoulin kid is the real deal. He's going to be good. I really like Maata. I actually would have preferred him over Reinhart. Then again I would have preferred any of the other defenseman taken in the top 10 over Reinhart, Ceci too.

I expect Parise to either stay in NJ or sign with Minny. Detroit is a possibility of course as well. I'll be surprised if he signs with any team in the Atlantic Division. Zach is a loyal guy.

Well just like how we were talking abotu Staal yesterday, hopefully this drops Ryan's value. Gotta see how this plays out. I certainly think JVR could be the center piece, but obviously we add.

I don't blame Ryan one bit. They've treated him like crap. At one point last season he was playing on the 4th line. This is a guy who's scored 30 or more goals 4 straight years.

I guess I'm getting a bit desensitized to JvR's value because every single Flyers deal I see begins with it...Need a Nash? Sure! Here's our JvR! Ryan? SURE! JvR for you! Yandle? JVR ALL AROUND!

Funny...now they're gonna expect a great return for a guy they diminished the value of.

Well he is our Nazem Kadri Of our 3 young guns (JVR, Schenn, Couturier) JVR gets traded everyday and twice on Sundays. My fear is that with selecting Laughton today Schenn will be a bit more expendable (Both Mike Richards like guys) Holmgren seems to be staying put on not moving Schenn or Couturier.

Still a bit uncertain as to what that man's goal is with the team...not that I have ANY idea what my GMs goal is at the moment. I could see JvR being the centerpiece for Yandle:

‏@azc_mclellan
The only way Yandle leaves, IMO, is if someone offers a top-line player. Without a bonafide scorer, no way.

oh man, what an article that is on ryan.. i hadn't seen that

now i'm all excited again! woo! hockey in june!

Really? Reinhart was probably my #1 of the group.
If Dumba's game translates then he would take that spot, but I think he may not be able to blow people up in the bigs like he has in Jr.

yeah really. they should trade him for Mason Raymond or something.

JVR can pass as a top line bonafide scorer...right? :p

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

I just mean you guys have a better shot at getting Yandle with JvR than Ryan. Ducks want D. Do...you guys have D in the system? Sincerely no idea.

Remember how Flyers fans wanted Maatta really badly...?

Nothing really of note with dmen in the system, but really a Yandle to us is more important than Ryan.

if you want "IF they pan out they'll be 4/5 guys", then the flyers might have more d-prospects then the pens.. if you want something more.. legit.. then no, not really..

Yandle/Weber: know nothing about it; Nash, Flyers deal wasn't enough; Ryan: wants out of ANA, stay tuned, Flyers won't give up 10 or 14.

From what I saw of Reinhart during the Memorial Cup I thought of Ty Wishart. I really hope I'm wrong. He's 6'4 205LBs, but I didn't notice him hitting anyone out their. I'm not saying he's got to be a physical force all the time, but a mean streak now & then would be nice. I'm really not sure what his upside is. I imagine you know much more about him than I do. Please fill me in.

@TPBadam
Asked if he might have more excitement today [Saturday], Shero replied: “We’re going to try.”

I...should've went to bed about 2 hours ago. Dang.
