GDT: 2018 Maple Leafs Trade Deadline Thread Pt.II

[Mr Knies Guy]

How the hell did the Bruins get the Rags to take on Belesekey??? 50% wow... I guess the Rags like Spooner a lot?

 

[thewave]

Jvr would get more than Nash, he is younger by 5 years, and cheaper and better

Dreger said other gms told him if jvr were on the market he’d be number 1 forward available. Now it’s up to you what you make of that it is dreger

We are crazy not trading JVR and Bozak. We could contend right after with a good pickup the same day. Nylander is a C damn good one.

To #Bruins:
F Rick Nash (50% retained)

To #Rangers
2018 1st RD pick
2019 7th RD pick
F Matt Beleskey (% retained - TBD)
F Ryan Spooner
D Ryan Lindgren (signing rights)

Depending on how much the Bruins are retaining on Belesky, that is a solid return for the Rangers.

I'd argue that Ryan Spooner is better than Rick Nash

Wow, apparently Bruins are retaining 50% of Beleskey's deal.

Bruins fans seem upset lol

 

[rumman]

Pretty much done deal

glad he's gone so he wasn't a option here, impending UFA, so same issues as JVR. He'll help the Bruins though........

 

[Budsfan]

 

[dubplatepressure]

So basically, they gave up Bozak, a younger Andrew Neilsen, a slightly more offensive Matt Martin, and a 1st round pick and a 7th for Nash @ 50%.

Quite the haul.

 

[The Podium]

Lmao terrible deal for the Bruins. If anything they downgraded from Spooner to Nash, they didnt even get rid of all of Beleskey's contract.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

You know what? Exactly as I wanted yesterday... this makes me happy. A rival just blew some decent futures on a nearly finished power forward for half a season. And the best part is even if they re-sign him, he’s not 28, he ain’t gonna get better. This is a great start to a Sunday. Thanks Sweeney

Wow belesky included that deal is bad for rangers

Not even an argument.. statistically Spooner has been more productive than Nash.

[A1LeafNation]

Spooner has 3 less points than Nash in 21 less games, lol

 

[Walshy7]

Wow belesky included that deal is bad for rangers

Edit didn’t see 50% retained on belesky swings it back to rangers favor

 

[Cor]

Wow belesky included that deal is bad for rangers

Bruins are retaining half.

Rangers are only paying him 1.9

 

[dubplatepressure]

Does this make anyone who was anti-trade-JVR re-think? I'm trying to resist it myself.

 

[The Podium]

With the Leafs playing Tampa tomorrow, I'd have to imagine any deal that would involve a current roster player (i.e. Brown, Kapanen, etc.) would go down today.

 

[Walshy7]

Spooner has 3 less points than Nash in 21 less games, lol

Maybe they flip spooner too for another asset? He is only 26 though need someone to play for then

 

[Walshy7]

Bruins are retaining half.

Rangers are only paying him 1.9

Yeah I edited swings it back to rangers favor that does. How many years left on belesky?

 

[ToneDog]

OFFICIAL: #NYR have acquired a first-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, defenseman Ryan Lindgren, forwards Ryan Spooner and Matt Beleskey, and a seventh-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft from the Bruins in exchange for Rick Nash.

Beleskey was a cap dump so they had to sweeten the pot by adding Spooner. Hopefully this screws up their chemistry royally. I like it if I am a Rangers fan.

 

[Cor]

Yeah I edited swings it back to rangers favor that does. How many years left on belesky?

I believe 2 more after this one.

At 1.9 that’s not bad at all. And Rangers are scorching off, so they need someone to play.

Next deadline they could retain 50% on Belesky again and deal him for an asset at 800K lmao

 

[Anthrax442]

Yeah I edited swings it back to rangers favor that does. How many years left on belesky?

2 more beyond this one

 

[rumman]

maybe the Rags retain the remainder of Belesky's contract and move him in the next few days?

 

[ToneDog]

Does this make anyone who was anti-trade-JVR re-think? I'm trying to resist it myself.

Tough to do cause you don't want to weaken the team going into the playoffs.

 

[Budsfan]

Nash is a really good player but Boston paid a crap load to get him....Wow

 

[Liminality]

So Nash is still a effective enough forward at offense but still not dependable on defense. He's like an older JVR.

Does this make anyone who was anti-trade-JVR re-think? I'm trying to resist it myself.

Seemed like a pretty good return for Nash, if we can use those assets to bring an upgrade on D somehow I think I'd be for it.
