Fantasy Trades: Let All Your Dreams Come True

PrintIt's trade deadline season, which means endless speculation on moves that won't happen. So why not invent your own trade rumors? Let's all discuss fanatical (yet realistic) trade scenarios that would land your dream player.
After the fictional jump, I talk about what made me want to write this fanpost.
This Puck Daddy article discussing Krejci's move from center to wing had an interesting comment on it from user Mike in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Send to draft choices to Minnesota for Dany Heatley. He is not the same as he was in Ottawa but he will be reinvigourated in Boston and trade for Ovechkin in Washington. they need wholesale changes and three draft choices are worth anothe cup in Boston. I was there in 1970, 1971(lost to CHC in seven) and in 1972 and then all those years before last year. Come on Pete make the moves. You may have to give up one of our cherished defenseman to Washington but Ovechkin will go beserk in Boston and so will Heatley. Add those two and another cup is ours.
Mike Wiley Bruins fan since 1959
While I'm sure Mike has seen much more hockey than I have, and possibly ever will, I get the odd feeling that neither Heatley nor Ovechkin are going to don the spoked-B any time soon. However, this doesn't mean we can't be unrealistically bold with our fantasy trades here, so why not discuss these types of trades?
Case(s) in point: what will it take to pry away Shea Weber or Keith Yandle? Could Sidney Crosby switch black and gold allegiances? Why can't we thank Kessel for bringing us a second straight Stanley?
The only thing I ask is that the trades be realistic. So, much like HFBoards delicious trade proposals, make them ridiculously lopsided. Hamill and a 1st for Stamkos!

Seguin owns and I don’t wanna trade him

A few weeks ago I would’ve thought this Kesler/Thomas trade was crazy. Now with the team slumping, this trade actually looks plausible. No way I’d trade Seguin for anybody, he’s a franchise player even though Weber’s very appealing.
Me being frustrated how the team has been playing, I thought I’d try a big trade via Be a GM mode in NHL 12. I wish this wasn’t just fantasy, but I traded Marc Savard and a 1st rd pick for Claude Giroux. If we could add someone with Giroux’s talent and hockey sense, I could see another deep playoff run in this team’s future.
But now for more serious trades that could actually happen in the current days. I’m kind of a realest, I’m not the type of person that thinks the Bruins will even put there hands in the Nash/Doan or Parise lottery.
Joe Corvo and a 5th rounder for Mikhail Grobovski (This guys got so much speed with great hands to boot.) I know there’s no probably no way Toronto gives him up, he’s a top 6 forward for sure.
Ray Whitney for Zach Hamill and Jordan Caron (Whitney’s older, but he’s putting up some of the best numbers of his career. He could bring the veteran leadership that Recchi brought to the table.) I also doubt Phoenix gives him up since he’s been so vital to their success.
PA Parenteau(NYI) or David Jones(COL) for Benoit Pouliot, Zach Hamill and might need to add a 3rd round pick (Two underrated players that are playing more than their worth this year. Both of their teams are just outside the playoff picture, a few more losses and they’re done for the season.)
And even though forward is our first and foremost concern, we do need some depth on the backend.
Maybe Kurtis Foster for Joe Corvo (Foster had a mediocre first half of the season. He’s almost doubled his point output for the first half of the season the past month, and he comes at a very cheap cost.)

To Boston: Rick Nash
To Columbus: 22 traffic cones, future considerations.
Bruins get Nash and Columbus gets an upgrade at every other position.
Speaking of Tavares, I’d send Timmy to NYI for him.

We’d need to find another backup somewhere (because Dobie just ain’t ready), but I’d be down for that as well.

Agreed. If the Bruins lose Thomas and Rask is shakey or gets hurt, they really don’t have a good option in net after those two.

Timmy + Caron and Hamill for one of the Isles’ 14 goaltenders (not DiPietro).
Kick his ass, Seabass!
by phonymahoney on Feb 21, 2012 8:43 PM EST up reply actions
Which one, though!?
Nabokov – Old
Montoya – Bad
Poulin – Who?
Shit, for Timmy alone we could probably get all three, plus DiPietro, and then dress them in funny hats.
This is what I was thinking. He’s not bad, just on the older end.
Kick his ass, Seabass!

So what would we get along with him? Timmy PLUS Caron and Hamill for a 36 year old that’s past his prime would make me sad.
The idea is
Timmy + Caron + Hamill + a pick for Tavares + Nabakov
In Memoriam: Dan Wheldon 1978-2011
As much as I love Timmy this would obviously be a yes. Give up a draft pick(probably have to be a first), 2 guys who obviously aren’t sticking as nhlers in boston, and Thomas, for a franchise center and a goalie that is actually younger than Thomas and could easily split time with Rask. Islanders would be sooooooooooooo foolish to do this
Yeah, it would be a terrible idea for the Isles. They need a lot more pieces than a 38 year old goaltender.
Caron and Hamill arer pieces…
of course, the rest of their puzzles are missing… but they’re pieces nonetheless!

Terrible for Isles. Good for Bruins.
I like it.

No… That was in response to my suggestion of Timmy for Tavares, and someone else’s reply about how we don’t have a serviceable backup.

Hat Trick for Jeff Carter tonight. Maybe he’s trying to find a new home.

Hat trick or not, I can’t imagine that anyone playing in Columbus doesn’t wish they were playing elsewhere in the NHL.
