Speculation: Which of your team’s D-men would you not be shocked to see dealt?

[Stealth JD]

Rather than ask “who is available”, I want to rephrase the question as “who wouldn’t be a complete and utter surprise to see get dealt from your team’s D-line”

I could see any of five D-men moving from STL and not be shocked (Perunovich, Tucker, Krug, Faulk, Leddy) but would be caught completely by surprise at a trade if Parayko or Matt Kessell. Harder to see Leddy getting moved, since he has been Parayko’s best partner since Bouwmeester’s sudden retirement, but there’s a scenario or two that makes sense to see him dealt. Not so much for Parayko and Kessell.

Who of your team just absolutely won’t get dealt with 99.5% certainty - and who does that leave with a somewhat reasonable, even if unlikely chance, of getting dealt?

Pretty much anyone not named Josi or McDonagh.

 

[CanMerc]

Pionk- Would be moved to make room, both in cap and in the lineup, for an upgrade
Schmidt- please, please, please, please…get rid of this guy…please, please, please, please
Stanley- ok as a depth guy, but would be moved to make room on the roster for youth

[The Devilish Buffoon]

1. Chychrun
2. Hamonic
3. Brannstrom
4. JBD
5. Chabot

My prediction, personally, is 2 or 3 of the top 3. If Hamonic isn't moved/LTIRetired, JBD's odds of being dealt would go up.

 

[Laus723]

Ekblad

 

[SnS]

I’d like pretty much everyone on the Flyers blue line moved minus Sanheim and York. But I doubt that’s the case with Torts and the cronies.

 

[Chainshot]

It seems like Jokiharju winds up moved - RFA, an over-abundance of PMD, but he is a RHD so that is both of value to them (they don't have any other than him and Clifton) but also out in the world as a trade piece.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Pretty much every detroit D man except Seider and Edvinsson lol

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Cody Ceci. Oilers tried unloading him in a deal to get Chris Tanev. I expect we find a way to send him packing in the off season. Team needs a top 4 RD upgrade.

Brett Kulak might be moved to open a spot for Broberg and some further cap space if we do a top 4 RD upgrade.

 

[PatLaFontaineASMR]

Henri Jokiharju

 

[squashmaple]

Provorov is gone for sure, Bean is likely not to get a QO, Boqvist probably gets one more year. Could maybe even see them moving Jiricek for an upgrade elsewhere. Werenski, Gudbranson, and Severson are the only ones safe, I'd think.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Safe are:
- Kaiden Guhle
- Arber Xhekaj
- Lane Hutson / Mailloux / Reinbacher

The rest are fair game.

 

[57special]

Merrill ... that's about it.

 

[General Fanager]

Xhekaj could go

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Xhekaj could go

Nope. He's a unique and developing dman. The Habs will see what they have there.

 

[The Duck Knight]

One of Theodore or Whitecloud (more likely) is a pretty safe bet.

 

[General Fanager]

Nope. He's a unique and developing dman. The Habs will see what they have there.

I agree but with all the LDs in the system I could see the possibility. Xhekaj and a few good picks could get The Habs a real top 6 forward

 

[Bone Density]

Siegenthaler if he continues to struggle with Hamilton back, maybe Bahl.

 

[Chan790]

Nobody. I'm not trying to claim the Canes defensemen are all untouchable. I just can't see them moving any of the guys under contract for next season...Burns, Slavin, Orlov, or Morrow.

We're more likely of a buyer than a seller on defense.

 

[ponder719]

I would be surprised to see any of them dealt, because I don't think the Flyers are dispassionate enough about their roster to make the hard decisions they're going to need to make this offseason.

That said, I would only be shocked if we dealt Drysdale or Seeler, since Danny acquired the first and extended the second mid-season. Those two feel like his guys in a way the rest of the rostered D don't.

 

[Scintillating10]

I can't see Habs moving Guhle or Wifi. After the Sergechev and McDonough trades

 

[Boomstick]

I like Rasmus Andersson, but if someone gives Conroy a boat load, I think he trades him.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

There's just no way all of these lefties will remain in Montreal:

Guhle
Harris
Matheson
Struble
Xhekaj

Especially since we have more guys on the left side coming up.

On the right side, Kovacevic's time is probably up. I f***ing hate Barron but this org is often blinded by draft status, so he'll probably get more chances even though he has no balls.
