Thread: Trading for 3rd overall pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_fan123</b></div><div>I love it! but I would throw in patch and the leafs second and next years and swap hayes for zibinajad</div></div>

I don't think Gorton would trade Zibanejad in any deal. He's too valuable and has too much upside, and the organization seems to be higher on him than Hayes at this point. Also, don't know about Pacioretty fitting in NY right now. Great player and leader of course, but I don't know if he fits in as we are currently rebuilding.

Also, I feel that this deal benefits Montreal greatly because not only will they be adding a top-six center in Hayes and top-nine winger in Namestnikov, they will also be able to select one of either Wahlstrom or Veleno 9th overall - both centermen, and potentially elite at that.

Thread: BIG sellers at deadline

LD and G upgrades would be nice but I doubt the Blues would go this crazy, not to mention it would add about $4M to the cap and we're already sitting at the top of the ceiling.

Plus when you really break it down, I think the Rangers could get more in separate deals for McD and Hank... that's not really a huge return unless you think all of those picks will become NHLers.</div></div>

Haha I thought about that actually. But I thought it could work for the Rangers because even though the picks could be total misses, they need help at center, and Thomas and Thompson are two prospects I could see them being very high on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>realOilersGM17</b></div><div>I feel like you hurt the team here.

Sure trade coburn. But you don't need Tanev. Dotchin can play with hedman as I believe he will continue to grow. I believe Tampa would resign Stralman.

Johnson gives you better forward depth and I believe if you did need a red then you could trade for a younger d man to replace Stralman at his retirement.</div></div>

The Tanev trade is mostly because I don't think TBL would be able to re-sign Stralman. He's getting older and I think he would command a lot more than what Tanev is under contract for (for two more years, too). Plus, they don't even have to re-sign Tanev when his deal is up either. By 2020-21, when his deal expires, I'm sure Cal Foote would be ready to pencil in on the second D pair behind Dotchin. It's all about cap space, really.

As for Johnson, that definitely does hurt the team but it was mostly for cap space. He can't be your third line center forever, and especially not at that cap hit/term.
