If indeed there are contenders wanting Vanek, they are willing to outbid each other, get the highest bid. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Despite being in the playoff race, it sounds like the Blues will be moving defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk. The Blues would like to get at least two pieces in a deal, a first round pick and a prospect. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals have spoken with the Blues about Shattenkirk. It’s believed Shattenkirk will sign with the Rangers this offseason. -- A first and a prospect is a hefty price for any team, but especially the Rangers. They don't have a lot of prospect depth and as he's likely to sign with you in the off-season... why would you give the Blues both a first and a prospect?

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 If Kevin is already set on his destination there is no way any sane GM would give up a first and a prospect for 3 months of him. Some of those asking prices are just ridiculous a lot of sellers will have to come down with their prices if they really want to sell. 2 derblaueClaus and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,228 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 It's been rumored for a long time now that Shattenkirk ultimately wants to be a Ranger. Not that that necessarily means much (rumors and speculation being what they are), but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him traded to the Rangers. It could be a good long-term fit for both sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Other than being a fan of the team (which Shattenkirk supposedly is) and living in NYC, I don't know why anyone in their right mind is going to the Rags.

I just think sending a guy -- a 26 year old, big bodied center, no less -- who's having a bad year off to play for a team (a freaking division rival) with a coach, who supposedly loves him and his style of play, whom under he had his best year for anything LESS than a first round pick is screaming SCREAMING!! to bite Holland in the ass. ...and for all of LGW to say, "told you so." ...but that's just pragmatic me. 5 Son of a Wing, krsmith17, mackel and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Arizona is shopping Duclair. Minnesota apparently almost had a deal done for E. Kane, but fell through. Probably decided theyd rather have Hanzal. Also sounds like Doan isnt moving per usual. Little surprised there hasnt been more rumors on Vanek, but im confident there will be takers.

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 This Sheahan trade rumor is very similar to the Jurco trade in my opinion. I'm not, nor ever was as high on Sheahan as I am Jurco, but I don't think Sheahan is nearly as bad as people like to make him seem either. I know, not a single goal in 58 games, guy sucks right? Having a down year is a huge understatement, but when every player on the team is underperforming (some more than others), you don't just trade off every single player, you "should" look at coaching... Sheahan scored 13 and 14 goals the past two seasons, and 9 in 42 games his first half season. That's great production for a bottom 6 center. I think we should be major sellers at the deadline and even this summer, however I don't think the young kids (25 and under) are the players we should be looking to offload. I think giving up on Jurco was stupid, and the same applies to Sheahan to an extent. However, if the rumors are true (I'm not so sure they are...), and a team is actually offering up a 1st (or even a 2nd), we'd be stupid not to take it...

You need the Sheahan type of players for a cup run. A low Cap hit but highly rewarding at least at the defensive end. Sheahan is still young, with experience he will only get better at his shutdown center kind of role. I don't necessarily agree that trading Jurco was a mistake. But trading Sheahan, excepting any offers like 1st + prospect, would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Sheahan, as a defensive specialist under Blashill, is a -19 this season. Not great. And I understand he could bounce back, he's young, but he's not physical at all and that bothers me, personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
