With the start of trade season thought I would start a thread to have all nhl trade talk in one spot. Chevy started on Tuesday pulling off a blockbuster. Today the Preds equipped themselves to take a deep run.

BREAKING: Leafs trade Cody Franson, Mike Santorelli to Nashville for 2015 1st Rd pick, Brendan Leipsic, Olli Jokinen #CBCSports

He'd be an interesting pickup for sure.   Not sure what I would be willing to give up for him.

 

Everything I've heard though is he wants so stay in the East (this is assuming he has a say in where he goes)

Jagr can't skate anymore, He might be able to help our pp, but that's it. I'd pass.

If we got Jagr I would buy a Jagr Jets jersey the same day.  That would be amazing.

I'd take Jagr if the price wasn't too high.  The guy's a legend, and he can still put the puck in the net.

Curtis Glencross also being mentioned.  He has a no trade clause that was ONE team (Ducks) but is now, according to tweeps, 5-7 teams.  Since he wants out of Calgary that list might grow.

 

32 years old

6'1", 200lbs

From SK

24 points in 38 games last season.  $2.5 million.  UFA this summer.

As per Ken Wiebe "Sean Bergenheim has asked to be traded and #FlaPanthers are planning to accommodate him. What would you give up to get him if you're the GM?"

3rd rounder at most. But in 2 weeks when we are out of the playoff picture. Who do we move? Frolik? Slater? They are UFA. Stafford too? It's a question that needs to be asked

Maybe Burmi and a 6th will get it done

I'd rather play Burmi on the third and take a good 10 or so game look at him.

TSN heavily reporting Burmi is now available.

Also that Buffalo wants Ryan O'reilly. Imagine him and Kane together with Bogo on the back end. That's a good starting point for a rebuild plus a top two draft pick.

You have no idea whether we'll be in or out in two weeks...you keep repeating this...got your opinion the first time!

Burmi can't play in the NHL this season and there doesn't seem to be much hope that he will ever play in Winnipeg again.  He is an RFA so they should just move him and get an asset back because he isn't going to sign here.

He isn't going to sign here or Chevy doesn't want him? Maybe Chevy is still pissssed about him leaving? We do need a winger though. I just hate giving something away for a guy that might leave next year. Sabres picking up O'reilly would be huge for them. I would trade for Glencross if he re-signed.

He's already an RFA. That's why he was able to leave for Russia.

Yeah that's what I said!!

I think he's already an RFA.

He is an NHL RFA but under contract to the KHL. So can't sign anywhere until that contract is done.

And I think if Burmi got released from his KHL contract (which isnt out of the question given whats going on there), he'd be subject to league-wide waivers before being allowed to return here.  I think...

Burmi is Winnipeg's RFA. No reaason to clear waivers.

The waivers thing came from the Ryan O’Reilly situation a few years back.  While he was an RFA for Colorado and holding out for a new contract, he had played a couple of games in the KHL then the Flames tendered him an offer sheet.

 

I think the rule was that anyone from the KHL that signs with a club during the NHL season has to clear waivers on his way back to the NHL.  A couple of players (like Nabakov), who signed with one team, had been picked up by different teams through this mechanism. 

 

Some people thought that because O’Reilly wasn’t the Flames property, that not only would they have to give up draft picks for signing an RFA, but could lose him under those waiver rules.  No one really knows for sure if they would have lost him (the Flames had said that they would have fought this rule as it wasn’t their interpretation) as Colorado matched the offer and he didn’t go through waivers as he was Colorado’s RFA.

 

Then in the 2013 CBA, they made this amendment / clarification:

 

According to the 2013 CBA summary document, if the player is already signed by an NHL team when he goes to Europe, then he has to clear waivers when he returns. But if he’s unsigned (e.g. Ryan O’Reilly), then he doesn’t have to clear waivers. Such a player can sign with his team mid-season and return from Europe without having to go through waivers first.

Burmi could only play this year if he signed by December. He didn't. He's a rfa tho when his contract in the K is up this season. Jets property

My key uncertainity with him is his fit in the lockerroom. Based on his history, has he grown more into a professional hockey player, team first attitude? How was that element of his game been in the KHL? 

 

Completely from a homer perspective, we're building something special here in how tight these players seem to be. Yes winning solves everything but even that isn't enough. Being here in Edmonton, there appears to be little chemistry within the Oilers team, loads of individual talent but no connection. The Jets are leaps and bounds ahead of the curve when it comes to this imo. My hunch tells me to dangle him in front of another team to allow us to tinker with a  character we always need to add , i.e., proud to jersey regardless of 'you want me to play how',  it's-30 degrees, there's lots of snow, jeez this Canadian Dollar, my kids can't go to the beach in February, etc etc

He really doesn't want out but the Flames won't pay what he wants. He never demanded to pay me or trade me. 

Goaltenders making 6 mill. and are 2nd string worthy.

3rd liners making top tier money.

Multi-year contracts handcuffing the next GMs

Wouldn't it be nice if these glorified contracts worked both ways?

That if your production goes down, your contract goes down?

"Show me the money" - for the players.

"Show me the production" - for the team.

Yup. Seems like the Atlanta GM at the time or scouts didn't really care about locker room chemistry or things like that, I mean, not picking on any players here but Kane and Burmi both have and at the time of their draft, had some severe character issues. I ask myself a few times if the Jets were drafting in 2009 or 2010, would they have taken these 2 players? And the answer i keep coming up with is NO, why? because the Jets take guys with high character, work ethic, hockey smarts.. Not saying Kane or Burmi don't have those traits but they seem to lack the high character that the Jets seem to concentrate on. Best to move these " me first" players. Burmi? You know what, he's a good player but i don't see him being more than a 3rd line center, some team could use him, it's not us tho. I don't see him signing here, but more importantly, i don't see the Jets wanting to bring him back here. People can talk about the issues he had with Claude Noel but from my understanding, his issues started when he was asked to go play in St Johns during the lockout, when he wanted to go back to Russia instead to play. Team asked him to go to St Johns, he reluctantly agreed too and then from all accounts, and from what some people in St Johns said during his time there, was awful and sulking around. That's not a player i'd want in my room. Trade him because these guys with these character issues are not what the Jets are trying to build around.
