Dobber's 2014 NHL Trade Deadline Chat

[RizzeeDizzee]

Little more than 2 hours left, what are these GM's waiting for?

Has to be sellers trying to get a big ransom for their guys. The next big deal will be a steal, but then the buyers will go into panic mode once it really gets close to the deadline.

Surely Vanek will get moved right? Any chance he goes to Pitt. I'm sure that's just my wishful thinking that he ends up with Crosby.

[Morris]

I wish Montreal would stop trading with Nashville. There are 28 other teams out there guys.

[Mr. Guru]

Apparently Pitts is not interested in Vanek anymore. Asking price to high?

Pitt has said they aren't in on Vanek. Which, as a Pittsburgh fan I am very happy about. As a Crosby owner who's biggest rival for winning my league has Vanek, I'm even more happy about it.

Boomer Esiason was bang on

I heard an hour ago that the Pens were sniffing around him.

[Bomm Bastic]

I'm hearing Brayden McNabb and two second rounders to LA Kings for Hudson Fasching and another yet to be named prospect.

What this Dubnyk news indicates is that Carey Price is nowhere near returning. Think about it - if he's back in three or four games, do they make this move? Nope. Think five games or more for Price on the sidelines. And frankly, Im thinking 10+

I suppose Montreal is trying to address its size issue by trading for Dubnyk?

[rataylor22]

So. Thought. NYR would never trade Callahan in division to a rival. Lots of reports that Tampa has no interest in signing Callahan this summer. Pens still need a winger for Crosby, and Callahan is of the Kesler mold. Think they might kick tires? Overly-wishful thinking?

They were trying to address their size and scoring but Smith wasn't available.

[rataylor22]

Yea, Josh Yohe and Rob Rossi both came out like 5 minutes ago saying no.

So Price supposedly plays hurt through the Olympics and now this. Wonder how the Habs will feel about Olympic participation if they fall out of the playoffs?
