As a Jackets fan I cannot overstate my contempt I have for our front office. Elvis has been the reason why the Jackets were in most of their games. Jarmo and the entire front office need to be swept out. I seriously hope they cannot find a suitor, the front office gets canned by the McConnells, and Elvis remains a Jacket
Cbj knows how to sour the relationship with every tendy they get
Not their fault they can’t win
@@TheNHLRebel Korpisalo is worse than Elvis, check stats.
You do understand that Korpisalo has always got worst stats and this year he have 88% so imagine what numbers he would have if he was in Blue Jackets :D @@TheNHLRebel
I wish everyone would just stop with the trade rumors. Everyone knows that everyone is going to Toronto at the trade deadline for a 7th round pick.
If I was an NHL team needing a goaltender I would ask around about Markstrom or Gibson first before even touching Merzlikins contract
I am with ya on that!
Gibson has the 3rd highest cap hit, doesn’t he? And he always seems injured
Pulling the Monster out of him. You think this was a reference to CBJs AHL team the Cleveland Monsters
It would be funny if all the teams you mentioned in the video were on his no trade list.
Elvis to Carolina for raanta and picks. They’re instantly a favorite if the defense gets it together again and they get halfway decent goaltending
@@TheNHLRebel you can have Noel Gunler, he won't ever make it in Carolina
one thing of note to add about the Devils is Dougie Hamiltons cap hit being moved to LTIR which is very likely seeing as the earliest he plays is April most likely playoffs
Elvis in Edmonton would be total chaos mode and I’d be here for it
That Leafs trade is laughable. You would have to give up assets at this point to get rid of Samsonov
Personally I would say the most likely candidates are New Jersey and Buffalo. In Edmonton he would be competing with Skinner who is better in Carolina he would be the starter at first but only because of injuries to Andersen and Kotchekov once they come back there’s no guarantee that Merzlikins would be the starter.
I think Elvis is probably going to go in a 3 way trade with a team like Chicago who needs to be at the cap floor, I think Elvis definitely has it in him to lead a team to the Stanley Cup and there has been much worse goaltending on much better teams than Columbus, I think he's going to the Avs
That Columbus team a mess. Kekalainen needed to go two year ago.
Dude can draft but its a shit show other than that
Wouldn't the most logical NHL town for a guy named Elvis be Nashville?
Not Vegas?
Technically it should be Memphis but that city doesn't have an nhl team so Nashville is acceptable.
Lol. True, Vegas would be good too.
As a devils fan, there's no way we're sending any dman in any trade unless we're getting one back. Not only is dougie out for likely the rest of the season, but jonas siegenthaler broke his foot, and brendan smith just got hurt yesterday against boston. We can't afford to give up even more dmen right now.
We have extra d-men and if we trade miller I think we’ll be fine and Elvis fills viteks job and if we want a defender than we get a defender by adding a third
What about LA? They currently have no nhl goalies signed after this season and would fit their timeline for competing
Devils technically have more cap space than Carolina because Dougie Hamilton and Jonas Siegenthaler have not been put on LTIR yet.
The jackets have been in the dumps since they got rid of their Hall of Famer goalie. Quick was their backbone /s
Seattle is a potential place where Merziklins or Allen could go, they are running with Daccord as their number 1
They also have another ex-Blue Jacket that’s doing well!
Do you think Lavoie actually has much value? I know I covet him as a former Moosehead, and he's doing great in the minors, but has yet to show those flashes in the NHL. Thinking a more prominent/consistent role on another team might wake up the beast.
Great job, buddy. Making this hometown boy proud. Sharing these with as many friends as I can.
I don't know would he really be a upgrade for New Jersey though for that price
Do you think the Pittsburgh Penguins going to make the playoffs and in the trade deadline day who should we get? I like your videos
Penguins need to rebuild depth and bottom6, maybe few young guys and not short term fix options. Corey Perry probably only other way trade deadline goes for them
Deal or no deal coming soon? Lots of guys on the block like Zegras and Kuzmenko and with the Cutter trade it shows any trade is possible rumors or not.
I have a friend who is a new jersey fan. All he had to say about the mock trade was "no"
The Devils need 2 D-men, not a goalie, not right now. That's their first order of business. With Dougie Hamilton on long term IR they have the CAP space ($9 million) to get it done and they should do it soon. Daws has been terrific.
They really should get rid of dougie
So injury prone
Devils 1000000000000 % NEED a goaltender.
As they have, for 4 seasons now.
And they also need more defenceman.
However, we all know, goal is most important
Wouldn't sign a #2 dman too long since Nemec will probably take that spot in 2ish years. Need someone on a shorterish or cheaper contract.
Elvis is a good goalie, but 3 more years at 5,4m basically kill any value, especially as it`s public now.
Everyone knows how tight all teams are vs. the cap.
Take the Leafs - you need to get out Samsonov (3,55m UFA) and need to find another 1,85m to make it work. Reaves is only at 1,35m so Columbus would need to eat 500k for 3 more years. And how do you work out that 5,4m contract long term? Even when it`s 4,9m?
Take the Oilers - they would like to add a 90,6 SV% goalie, but they need another RW, a 3rd line Center and an RD upgrade. Right now they need to pay their 1st to get Campbell off and cap space free, only then they can find pieces. They are Skinners team now, and i doubt they put the priority on a goalie.
Especially as Merzlikins is not without a risk.
Devils or Canes is what i can see, as they really have a need. Their season is really harmed by bad goaltending.
While on the opposite, the Oilers didn`t had good goaltending earlier, but the way they played defense was just not NHL worthy.
If you need a goalie, do you really want to bet on Merzlikins with a 5,4m contract for 3 years and might wake up in the summer with a Campbell problem?
I would take a look at San Jose, there guys are fairly paid and don`t stop bad on a really bad team.
Or you look at MAF, Minnesota is kinda done already.
I don't think that Columbus would trade Elvis to a division rival, so I don't see him ending up in NJ or Carolina. Of the teams you mentioned, I think Toronto would be the most likely candidate.
They could also send him to a lousy team, kinda punishing him...Chicago or San Jose have plenty of cap space.
He has a M-NTC so if they're not on his list then it's not punishment
Not sure how it would work but I could see the Blackhawks being involved in an Elvis trade. If they traded Mrazek, they might want Columbus as a third team and through in Elvis then he would be the number one in Chicago and then whatever other team only has mrazek for the rest of this season
I feel like this guys gunna pop off if he goes to a better team
From the thumbnail, expect that he will be traded to Toronto, then the devils, then baffling back to Toronto
NJ is obviously in need of a goalie as vanacek has regressed.
I like the mock trade a lot and would gladly make that move as it’s essentially a 2nd rounder for him.
Unless they just decide to sit this year and not be a buyer due to half the team being injured.
The core is just getting started so not going all in on a year where they won’t win it all anyway with the amount of injuries they are dealing with might be the smarter move.
So unless it’s a goalie move for the next few seasons I think NJ can wait until the offseason to figure something out, this season is a lost one without dougie, Timo, Jack, seigenthaler, palat and others.
Vanacek just beat Elvis heads up lol
Toronto, if they can make the money work
Husso and a prospect or second rounder for Elvin to go to Detroit
Goalies are a weird bunch. With any other position, player saying that would be considered as an attitude problem. 😂
I think the Canes are all in on Saros, so NJ could be very propable address for Elvis.
Can't believe the CBJ might let this guy walk... Come on, he's paid like a number 1, give him the net time of one.
But honestly if I was a buyer before the TDL with a tight cap, I'd look for dept with youngsters with min contracts/entry level, etc. I'd have a look at the 2 youngsters in front of MTL, maybe not Monty (don't think they want to trade him, and looking at his stats + team in front, I'd understand why), but that Primeau guy is basically free with no cap hit, and I've been impressed by the guy, because I thought his career would be in the AHL or something, but he's looked solid now that I'm looking into it. That team have real high end talent in their prospect pool so would let him go no issue IMHO.
Allen can help a team for dept or solid backup, but it would need some salary retention, the good news is that his contract is over after this season or the next I think (or soon, right? Not a Habs fan so IDK exactly).
Goaltenders are unpredictable (outside of stars in their late 20s and their 30s, and even then it's can vary by a lot; + good during reg season vs playoffs, etc)... So acquiring a long term goalie paid as 1a or 1b in a 50/50 or 60/40 tandem, it's more stuff you do during the offseason. Right now "dept" is more important, and when I say that it may very well be THE one for your teams' playoffs if iron hot (Hamburgler Syndrome).
I'm sure you guys know what I mean in general here.
Also, if you're a team REALLY is looking for a number 1 and you have some cap space/flexibility though, I'd have a look a guys like Gibson or. even more so Markstrom, before throwing 5M+ long term with Elvis... Right? Considering everything including cap, etc.?
Elvis has so been tested for a long stretch like any of those 2 lately unless I'm wrong.
Either way I feel we'll see much more trades involving goalies before the TDL from competing teams, because many of them definitely need help at that position if they hope for a deep playoff run, and for some, need the help to reach said playoffs (and perform once there). I don't think many would want to go to Toronto though, if you know what I mean here (not a team built for playoff success AND becoming the strawman for millions of fans I'm sure isn't great for a goalie eh...).
The oilers wold probably trade cambell proberg and a 2-3
do you remember the saying that the goalkeeper is half of the team = if the other half - no defense, no one will be able to help. Good luck with Tarasov and the Russians
Es domaju ka Elvim ir problemas ari ar krieviem.
Devils fan - I'd do your trade in a heartbeat.
If there's ever a gk trade request and neither Leafs nor Oilers are involved in speculations, I'm gonna stop watching hockey
Dude looks like Bunting
Next season the Leafs will need to put in a cardboard cutout of a goalie, since they will have no cap space left 😅
Don’t forget the sabres
As a goalie win or leave
LATVIA MENTIONED RAHHHH🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Kings fan here. I will gladly offer Todd (full salary retention) for anyone's skate sharpener and a pack of bubblegum.
NJD can put Dougie on LTIR to free up cap space.
Devils also have Hamiltons 9mil that they can Kucherov when Fitz finds a trade he likes.
hopefully league doesn't allow that. tired of teams trying to cheat like tampa and vegas
@@BigVuVu I mean the dude torn his pec and is out for the regular season not sure why a team shouldn't be allowed to try and fill the void.
@@devilsarebeastly cause it's cheating. You still have to be compliant before playoffs and technically if you bring back a player to replace an injured player whose timetable to return is playoffs is cheating
@@BigVuVuI think the real issue is that they can be activated for the playoffs. I like the LTIR rule, but something has to be done about the playoffs
@@BigVuVu But it isn't cheating, it's using the system how it's supposed set up to be used.
We, the Devils, will take anyone who isn't Vitek Vanecek.
Detroit should look at merzlinkis need a goalie
Gotta roll with Lyon right now, there’s been games he’s single handily won us, if merzlinkins was expiring I’d say maybe but not with that contract to risky
Send Husso back the other way...Need 2 quality Goalies! Elvis, Lyon tandom would be good.
Jarry for Elvis
avalanche need a goalie desperatly...... he and georgiev splitting time would be sick
Toronto Maple Leafs
How about ottawa trades korpisalo back to cbj for merzlikins straight up. Korpisalo has history in Columbus and elvis would be the number 1 in Ottawa
Why should CBJ ever take a deal like that? The don’t need to make the trade.
A deal like what? lol
@@OhNyquist Played that they don’t need or want. CBJ probably won’t let Elvis go if they don’t get something from the trade. I’m sorry if a sounded rude is wasn’t my intention.
No worries at all, I just didn’t know if your were referring to a particular trade
@@OhNyquist all of the trades hade CBJ taking players they don’t want. And losing Elvis and just getting a second round draft pick. Why would they settle for so little if they don’t need make the trade.
why not detroit Hudson is done lyon is ok and Reimer is past his prime
miller is not leaving the devils absolutely need him
I bet anything that is a none contending team that will trade for elvis lol
1. You can be upset that Elvis has requested a trade because he’s a great guy and has been vocal about how much he likes Columbus
2. You can be upset with management and how he’s been treated + how they’ve built around him
3. You can be happy that he’s getting traded because he’s not particularly good
We got woll and jones and they are good. We don’t need Merzlikins. Leafs want to sign everybody lol i can tell something is wrong with this franchise and it’s fanbase.
Reaves as a trade candidate!? Come on, it's too early for an April Fools video.
Just salary filler
Elvis isn’t worth more than a 4th rounder
I agree. Overpaid, underperformed goalie who hasn't done anything notable for years. 2nd round pick plus assets back? Like you said, 4th rounder at best
I want to hear your thought on kaapo kakko; is he the sexiest nhl player of all time?
No
Maybe if Phil Kessel didn't exist
this must be keapo's alt account
Sorry, Connor Gauthier still leads the discussion
What does he look like? Have seen many games he has played in and he has been invisible.
I'll be honest, I think that his attitude is his biggest problem. Yes, he may as well be #1 goalie, however, he needs to get his head out of the clouds and work more on his game rather than preaching what he deserves and how he is mistretead.
From a Devils fan:
ABSOLUTELY NOOOO!!!!
We don't need another mediocre goalie!!!
There are no actually good ones on the market.
@@ST-TV maybe Gibson or Markstrom
@@tomblade Neither is better than Elvis.
@@tomblade Marstrom is going to be hard to get as he has a full no trade clause where he has the final say of he wave the trade. Also what does Devils has to give up meaning what is the price and will Devils go with it. Markstrom will be a high price as he need to wave the no trade clause. No Giblson is maybe somewhat easlyer trade for the Devils, but it could be high price too.
@@ST-TVMerzlikins was the worst goalie in the league last year, so yea I’d say those two are better
