It seems like there could be at least one big trade out there this offseason
Daily Faceoff: Mike Rupp, when asked if there is going to be another big trade this offseason. Teams are talking, and it seems like there will be someone. Exactly when it happens is a different question.
Jason Gregor: “Do you think we see a significant trade between now and the start of the regular season?”
Rupp: “Yeah, I think so. I don’t know which one, but it just seems like a lot of teams that have been surrounding and in conversations for big moves this offseason.
We’ve seen stuff happen prior to the draft, prior free agency. It just feels like there’s another one in the, in the chamber somewhere, doesn’t there? Like it just seems like this is like one of those weird offseasons where we might have a little bit of a lull now. I still think there’s teams that have to make some changes that, that just haven’t been able to.
When do the Connor Hellebuyck and Dylan Larkin trades happen?
I mean, even if we’re going back to the trade deadline, like how long has there been so many teams that need center ice help? The asking price was so high at the deadline, we didn’t see it happen. It goes into the draft. We see a Vinny Trocheck trade that can help out a team like Utah, but there’s still other teams that are in need of center ice help.
So I think there’s probably one big one left here before the season starts.”
Gregor: “All right. Well, Dylan Larkin’s a center iceman. Once Detroit gets a GM, maybe that happens.”
