Dreger: Trade Talks Picking Up (Niittymaki, Ryan, Getzlaf?!?)

[S2S]

The Ducks should stand pat so they can have this in a few years...

Perry-Getzlaf-Ryan
Palmieri-Holland-Etem
xxxxxxx-Rakell-Smith-Pelly

But yes, I would love to see

Lupul-Getzlaf-Kessel

But I probably don't want to see the return...

[BLAME CANADA*]

Ducks aren't trading Getz as they have no one to replace him as a true #1 center.

[SEALBound]

Staal
Kennedy
2012 2nd

for

Getzlaf

[Jesus Teemu]

Bobby looks like he wants to be traded ASAP

[ponder]

I would do terrible, terrible things to get Getzlaf on the Leafs. No way the Ducks are dumb enough to trade him though, regardless of the package coming back. If anyone on the Ducks should be untouchable, it should be Getzlaf.

Then again, they did give us Lupul AND Gardiner for Beauchemin, so you never know

I can see these teams giving better offers than yours, on theother hand the previous offer would definitely top these off, it's very rare that such a high caliber center is available and the price is always extremely expensive.

NYR Dubinsky, Erixon, Kreider and a 1st or 2nd
PHI Schenn, Couturier and Meszaros
BUF Roy, Armia, 1st
MIN Clutterbuck, Granlund a 1st and 2nd

Then we add a pick or a lesser roster player, but we aren't trading arguably our best forward right now in Oshie and arguably the best prospect in the world in Tarasenko.

Berglund, Schwartz, 1st, 2nd/Rattie/McRae

Then you aren't getting Getzlaf. Pretty simple.


Another "we want your best players but you can have ours" guy, awesome.

Then we aren't getting Getzlaf, no big deal. How many times do star players actually get what people value them at? Joe Thornton anyone?

These trades rarely ever work like that.

That said, I don't think Anaheim would move Getzlaf for anything less than a premium + even more.

[AirheadPete]

i expect the flyers to be right there come playoff time amongst the realistic contenders. holmgren will swing a deal to bring in a dman to help compensate the loss of BCP and they will be off and running.

You want to recite awful historic trades to try and tell me I'm wrong?

You could likely add Patric Hornqvist as well. Colin Wilson and Craig Smith would likely not be available.

These trades rarely happen period when the star player is under contract at an excellent price.

Name a trade that a team paid an astronomical price for? Those trades just don't happen.

Forgot about Hornqvist, another solid piece.

As expected, Wilson/Smith are off limits. The two players which I thought would be.

Grabo + Kulemin + 2 1sts for Getz.

Start with Kessel and add...

Really don't think anything could be done then. We have a lot of OFD prospects already.

[LeafsFan2342]

Kulemin + Grabovski + MacArthur for Ryan + 2nd/3rd

Kadri can obviously replace Mac and Ryan would be replacing Kuli.

Top 6 lines:
Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
Kadri - Connolly - Ryan

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

man, I'd kill to have Getzlaf on the Devils.

although, with Parise being UFA after this year the only realistic package I can think of is something like Zajac, Merrill, and a 1st, which I doubt would get it done.

Pronger. Twice.

What would it take?

Pick 2 of the following forwards and add Pietrangelo

Oshie
Backes
Steen
Berglund
Stewart
Perron

Good because we dont want Kessel.

Both of those weren't astronomical prices that are being demanded here.
