2018 is almost here and with it will be the countdown to the NHL trade deadline. With teams starting to distance themselves at either end of the playoff race, more and more rumors will surface about rental players and rebuilds. Here’s your chance to ask our very own Brian La Rose about whatever you think your team should do!
Brian will be answering the mailbag on the weekend, but be sure to submit your questions now! Leave a comment below or tweet at @prohockeyrumors using the #PHRMailbag.
Make sure to read our last mailbag, where Brian went in depth on the Kyle Turris–Matt Duchene deal—he knew right away it wasn’t the greatest trade for the Ottawa Senators.
Could the Islanders or Rangers pursue a trade for Karlsson?
With the Bruins having such a strong prospect/young player stockpile both on the roster and in the system, do we see any major moves over the offseason? Potentially attaching some to get the Backes deal off the books, or clearing space in other ways and acquiring a star like Tavares or Karlsson via said prospects?
No prospects for Tavares since he is an FA, meant to say that.
Doubt it, DS’s Bruins are all about developing young talent in-house. Krug and McAvoy obviate the need for Karlsson and they already have too much depth at center for Tavares.
Will the sabres trade evander Kane? Either that question or will the blues trade for a top six center with Schwartz being out?
Pens need to see what they can get for Letang. It’s time for him to go
How much do you read into the flyers recent surge after the 10 game losing streak? Just because they did pull some of those games into overtime during that streak, but then last night they looked like a game of NHL2k18 and their controller batteries died.
Do you think its possible the Rangers trade for Tavares in a sign and trade deal? Rangers give Rick Nash and Brady Skjei and receive Tavares in a sign and trade.
Whatever became of former Pittsburgh Penguin Bob “Battleship” Kelly ?
