2016-17 Trade Deadline Thread

Kyle Quincy being held out of the game tonight as a healthy scratch. Playing pretty big minutes with NJD and a former Red Wing. 6-2 veteran defenseman.

Could be a target if he's cheap.
 
The Wings will be really good after the get a bunch of 1sts and a young top pairing dman for Athanasiou, Sheahan and Glendinng. Tough to give up all that talent though ...

Bobby Mac saying Sheahan could get similar price to Hanzal?

Did he say Sheahan could get a similar price to Hanzal, or just that Detroit's asking for a similar return?

I mean, I could see Holland asking for the moon, since he's kind of new to this whole deadline seller thing, and he has a habit of overvaluing his marginal talent.

But can't see any way someone would pay it.

Leafs could get him for a 2nd or 3rd round pick I think.

right? It's like crazy pills have been consumed.
 
Tampa calls up 2 forwards today, and claims a third on waivers. I think they will do something today. Boyle? Filpulla?

Seriously? WTF indeed?!?! What am I missing with this guy? Seems like a good 4th liner, possibly a solid 3rd liner.

Like maybe a 2nd round pick... no way someone pays a 1st... let alone adding to that.

And there's very few sellers. Bozak and Polak would be two of the bigger names in this mess of mediocrity.

The welcoming thought for me in all of this is how firm the braintrust seems to be in sticking to the Shanaplan. Lou was on Tim & Sid last week and basically dismissed the idea of pushing up the timetable and getting aggressive at the deadline because something something we're ahead of schedule. Lou said that the same plan that was in place at the beginning of the season is what we're working under now and building a contender that will dominate for 10 years is and always has been the plan, everything is still aimed towards that, not a small bump in short term success.

I think you'll see us sell off a non essential veteran or two, add assets by taking on short term contracts, and maybe do some 11th hour discount shopping for a Glendening or similar.
 
They should trade Polak. Marchenko looks pretty solid. You'll get a 2nd and probably more.

The PK will take a hit, but oh well.
 
I think they should trade Polak as well. He was re-acquired with purpose and I think they should stick to that plan.
 
The only way the Leafs will move Hunwick or Polak is if they have a veteran blueliner coming in from somewhere. Truth be told, they are a fine third pairing. I have no issue if they don't move these guy and I think they won't want to add any additional instability to that backend.
 
Sellers market, all our pieces except for JVR and Bozak can easily be replaced internally and clear cap space to minimize our bonus overage.

Boyle/Sheahan are probably worth a 3rd, lindberg
 
If we squeeze into the playoffs, we can maybe win a round, and maybe even be competitive in round two. That counts for a lot. It'll help the kids huge going forward.

You can't just sell off every vet you have because there are draft picks out there. You sell off Bozak because he sucks and doesn't fit in, but the others have a purpose.

You can dump Polak easily because you have Carrick, Marchenko, Marincin all clogging things up. Hunwick is actually suddenly someone relatively important to us now. Komarov is very important. JVR's goals and net presence will be big.

Really it's just Bozak and Polak who should be shopped aggressively. I'd even trade Bozak within the division. Does Montreal or Ottawa surrender a late 1st? I think maybe.
 
There is a very real chance they would be facing the Caps in which case they do not win a round.

That said, if they get the 7 hole, i grant you they have a decent chance of beating OTT/BOS/MTL
 
They are not supposed to be in the this position so you can't let it skew your vision of what needs to be done to make this team a perennial contender.

I am craving a playoff game just as much as everyone else but there is a bigger plan that must be followed and a playoff round of two shouldnt change that

If there is a chance to maximize value for players you dont see as part of the future you pull the trigger. Other wise you're doing the team a disservice
