TRADE DEADLINE BONANZA 2019!

DefenceWinsChampionships wrote:Let's here it. What are your predictions. Provide justification for your proposed transaction.

Ex:

To Edmonton: Dzingel, Ceci
To Ottawa: Edm 1st, Yamamoto, Spooner

Justification:

Dzingel is the perfect complimentary player for McDavid. Somehow who can keep up with him speedwise and can finish in close. EDM has had problems finding the right LW to play with him. Low cost move that allows Draisitl to slide back to 2C. Ottawa and Edmonton have a trade history, Ceci and Edmonton have a trade rumor history. Klefbom is nearing a return and Ceci adds some consistency and size to an inexperienced, undersized Edmonton blueline. Could be a good mentor for Bouchard and allows EDM to walk away from Petrovic in the off-season.

EDM 1st is on the table. Could end up being a lottery pick and is the key to this trade. Dzingel is worth at least a 2nd on his own and may be the best option (price per point) available right now. Add in Ceci and all of a sudden you're getting two roster players that can log big minutes, have recent playoff mileage, and are both playing for new contracts. Yamamoto fits the rebuild, and EDM doesn't give up Rattie or Bouchard. Spooner is an Ottawa boy that simply hasn't worked out in Edmonton. Chairelli sheds some salary and moves a player he brought in that plain and simple hasn't worked out well in Edmonton.

I can’t see Dzingel fetching that much but who knows. Tierney could totally go to Pittsburg but are you flipping brass again? He’s a UFa and not the player he used to be.

I’m thinking sens will look at re signing brassard and Methot to cheap deals

They are very defense-rich and have been actively looking to add a top-six forward, even if they are technically sellers. Fleury and Bean are two defensive options the Sens would covet for sure though they are both LHD and the Sens need RHD. I'd still be interested in Dougie if the Sens did trade Ceci.

Maybe instead the Canes look at trading Ferland to the Leafs for Kapanen

I mean, much better than as a rental. I wonder who would do such a thing though. Vegas I guess is a possibility and so is nashville or even Montréal (although we’d have to strp them of their first and both of their best prospect to get that done).

Im growing on the idea of trading duchene. I love he player but we have to think of the returns and setting up this team for the long term. I think it’s important to keep a really good veteran aboard to shape this team and that has mark stone written all over it. He only issue with stone is concussions but that’s a gamble.

Both might end up leaving but that would surprise me. Although I’m very surprised that we haven’t had stone under contract yet. Maybe it’s related. Maybe stone willonly sign if duchene stays. Who knows.

The most important thing right now is to not mess this one up. This will define the rebuild and will set a time line for this rebuild. We could skip a few years if we land 2-3 top prospects in trades.
Id love a top C prospect and a top D prospect an elite  RW prospect would be good too.
