Trade Deadline 2019

[Polish-Hammer]

NHL trade deadline is February 26 this season.


I was going to post the tradebait list from TSN but unfortunately its a month out of date. At that time Nyquist and Howard were listed in the top 10.


Reported Detroit is shopping around Jensen hence his increased ice-time the past couple weeks.





Instead let's start with today's trade and a couple from the weekend.


Dallas acquire:
Andrew Cogliano



Anaheim acquire
Nathan Shore

A little more about the Koekkoek trade.

Didn't realize there were so many trades ..

 

[Polish-Hammer]

There was a few trades involving Edmonton before that.

Apart from the Dallas-Anaheim trade it was mostly minor leaguers. Koekkoek is the biggest piece moved from the ones below and he is only a 7th d-man at the moment.

Here is the trade tracker.


Looks like I missed the Brickley-Schnieder trade.

TSN finally updated the tradebait list.


Howard and Nyquist are still in the top 10 but dropped to 8 and 9.

[Mitchrapp]

I saw that during last game that Howard was #2 in save percentage vs the Western Conference whatever that's worth. It's over .930. .

Minnesota acquire Pontus Aberg

Ducks acquire Justin Kloos


Aberg is a solid middle 6 scoring forward who is around 0.5 points per game.
Kloos is 25 and hasn't broken into the NHL but has been tearin up the AHL this season. Kind of a curious trade for Anaheim considering they are trading a known NHLer for a stab at what Kloos will develop into. Aberg is the same age as Kloos.

Anaheim acquire:
Michael del Zotto

Vacouver acquire:
Luke Schenn
7th round pick [2020]

[Polish-Hammer]

Carolina acquire:
Nino Niederreiter


Minnesota acquire:
Viktor Rask


https://www.tsn.ca/hurricanes-acquire-niederreiter-from-wild-1.1243129


Not sure why this is just a 1 for 1 trade. I would have considered Niederreiter the slightly better player and given that Rask is having an off year, would have expected Minnesota to get back at least a late round pick.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Ducks acquire:
Derek Grant

Penguins acquire:
Joseph Blandisi

Sabres acquire:
Taylor Leier

Flyers acquire:
Justin Bailey

[biggunsbob]

Can we move Howard or anyone ? We should get as many picks and young guys as possible!

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Seems like Holland will wait till last minute like last few years.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Teravainen extends in Carolina for 5 years with a cap of 5.4 mil.


Damn that is such an amazing team friendly contract.



https://www.tsn.ca/hurricanes-extend-teravainen-on-5-year-deal-1.1244900

 

[Mitchrapp]

Any evidence that it's best to trade now or near deadline?

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Hmmm good question.


Never looked into that one before.


Only reason Holland got such a good deal on Tatar cause it was literally a list minute trade.


But than again, Green wasn't traded cause he got hurt before the deadline.



I might take a look if I have time on weekend.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Thanks, PH.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Minnesota Acquire:
Brad Hunt
6th round pick [2019]

Vegas acquire:
5th round pick [2019]

https://www.reviewjournal.com/sport...d-about-golden-knights-to-wild-trade-1579625/

Really a trade to give Hunt an opportunity to play. He has not been playing much but his production is good for a defenceman.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Dallas re-acquires:
Jamie Oleksiak


Pittsburgh acquires:
4th round pick [2019]


I am seriously going to laugh if it is the same pick they traded to acquire him.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

LMAO, it was the same pick. Basically rented Oleksiak for free.



Now the big trade.


Toronto acquire:
Jake Muzzin


LA acquire:
1st round pick [2019]
Carl Grundstrom
Sean Durzi




Man this is such a steal for Toronto. Muzzin has another year left on his deal. Combine that with the tiny cap of 4 million for a top pairing D, I mean steal steal steal.
