Trade Target Movie Posters

by OddManRush on Feb 9, 2012 10:50 PM EST

It started innocuously enough. I was reading Sam's article about making a trade for Jeff Carter and I thought to myself "Do we need to get Carter?" The 'get Carter' triggered the memory of that movie, and I thought that would be an easy photoshop job to do the movie poster. I then decided to go ahead and do one for each of the players that the good writers here wrote about.

So here is the collection of these hockey-centric, cinematic blockbusters for your amusement.

Right-click and click View Image to see them full-size.

Tuomo Ruutu

Since he's injured now, he probably isn't going anywhere. But I liked this poster so much, I have to include it here. Clicking the image will show you a larger version.

Rick Nash

Pavel Kubina

Ray Whitney

Zach Parise

Mikhail Grabovski

Grab Bag: Knuble, Stastny, Roy, Ott, and Brown

As the staff here at OTF add more articles to the Trade Targets series, I'll add more creations here, and post it in the comments of each article.

We need a poster about Rads' possible return (no matter how remote the chance):

Another piece of brilliant writing by @BoclairSports —> Is the timing right for Radulov’s return to the #Preds? http://bit.ly/xIC4eZ #NHL

I already made that!

Well not really, it’s going through time and getting a bunch of Gretzkys:

I do remember this poster! And since Luvthepreds asked, I’ve included a Radulov poster up above.

That is hilarious! It’s too bad, because with his recent injury, it sounds like he’s off the trade market.

Yeah, that’s why I went ahead and posted it. I was iffy on whether we should or should not go get him, but I had this among other finished ones ‘in the can’ so I figured it was worth throwing out here. Too bad for Tuomo – bad timing for an injury.

Actually, the GM in Carolina said this injury shouldn’t impact their decision making in that area, so who knows…

Yes, hilarious, largely because it was so unexpected. Well done.

So, how long does it take for you to crank these out? Does it take a long time to figure out what movie to use each time? They’lre soooooooo greeeeaaaat!

Picking the movie out takes a little bit of time. Basing it on the name or team or something noteworthy about them (people seem to either love or hate Radulov, or at least love/hate talking about him) – that narrows it down. But the poster image also has to be workable in a quick time frame. That’s why it sometimes takes a while for some.
