2014 Trade Deadline Thread II (All General Trade Talk/Proposals/Blog Rumors in here)

[Fro]

cbj twitter is too quiet...don't buy we're done

 

[DJA]

we're done per Portzline. a bit of a disaster, IMO

 

[Samkow]

No JJ move.

 

[Kev22]

Portzline tweets nothing further from the CBJ today. Total disappointment. My initial assessment...we will not make the playoffs. I hope I'm wrong, I really, really do. Fire up the draft thread.

 

[DJA]

so the end result from today is that we now have 4 forwards to choose from to healthy scratch?

Boll/Comeau/Tropp/Frattin? WTF?

 

[GoJackets1]

I'm hoping, as usual, that Porty doesn't know ****.

 

[Kurtis5939]

Funny thing seeing NYI, and CGY still have their big name players... guess their asking prices was ridiculous.

Many said they'd be happy if Jarmo did nothing. Close.

Moving Gaborik for minor return and spending little to bring in Schultz just about qualifies. He was quoted as being happy with what he had, so I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised.

agreed, but if we're happy with what we have, why dump Gaborik for peanuts? and add another body to our bottom 6 logjam? i'm fine with the Schultz trade.

 

[MFRONE]

So Jarmo and JD are good with Cody/Savard/Prout in the back as we try to make the playoffs and 3 of the other top 4 guys injured.

Just a disastrous trade deadline. Would have been happier to just keep Gaborik.

 

[bizzz*]

All contenders have added skills, the Jackets just traded them away. I want Howson back.

Hockey Central reporting David Legwand to Deytwa.

 

[Cash for Nash]

That is a legit question. I mean Matt Frittos and a late 2nd round pick are not likely pieces to impact are roster much. Now or in the future.

I guess GMJK thinks we are better off without Gaborik. Time will tell. But this move doesn't really make us better in the future.

 

[Kev22]

Several sources reporting Vanek has been traded, Cammalleri and Stastny won't.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

According to CapGeek. We have 52 contracts? how is that allowed? Did I miss something?

 

[Kev22]

Douggie Mac reports Vanek is headed to Montreal.

 

[Kev22]

Several sources saying that Buffalo has another trade other than the Moulson deal.

 

[MFRONE]

Vanek to Montreal

All the teams we are battling keep making moves while we trade away skill for nothing.

 

[bizzz*]

Vanek goes to Montreal.
Great, another Jackets rival adds some scoring. The Jackets don't need it.

 

[MFRONE]

A 2nd and a prospect is all it took to get Vanek?

That's ****ing ridiculous that the Jackets wouldn't even try to acquire him.

 

[Kev22]

Vanek to Montreal

All the teams we are battling keep making moves while we trade away skill for nothing.

Lebrun says it's for a second round pick and a prospect.

 

[MFRONE]

We could have gotten Moulson for Comeau or Boll. Ridiculous.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Everyone around us got better and we got worse. Lol

 

[Samkow]

According to CapGeek. We have 52 contracts? how is that allowed? Did I miss something?

The guys in juniors don't count for the limit.

 

[Fro]

disagree we got worse...but we didn't get better...

Gaby was worth more to us than the return, but still overall happy what we got...Schultz will help depth...
