GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[Ararana]

He's better than Hertl at this point.

I certainly hope you're right.

 

[henchman21]

My issue is the NHL actually following up on it.

They do... but it isn't hard to find an injury or time a surgery.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Mike Grier gotta have some wicked CTE

Six years of retention on Hertl

 

[Bender]

Only one team ever voted to close this 'loophole' Tampa. Nobody wants it closed.

So tampa voted to close it after THEY used it. So level the playing field for everyone after you've screwed everyone over?

No wonder other teams didn't want it closed - they figured, I'm gonna f***ing do it someday too.

 

[JLo217]

Well I hope Vegas can make into a Pacific playoff spot so the Avs don't have to worry about them until the Western finals.

I hope they miss.

 

[LOFIN]

Let's be real, Vegas also used this "loophole" two years ago and missed the playoffs. That could happen this year as well. I'm sure they would rather have a healthy Stone in their lineup.

It's not the LTIR that makes Vegas special. It's the fact that they literally go out of their way to get whoever they want, and throw overboard whoever they want. Whatever it takes to win. A lot of teams could learn from that. I'm pretty happy with our management here, but many other teams could use the same mentality.

And he's going to be just fine with Landy and Nuke on his wings as well

Please elaborate on being better than Hertl

[sethro109]

The Avs always say when they're done, so I assume we have 1 more right?

 

[Avs9296]

So Mittelstadt gets to play across from Hertl and whatever giant ass wingers Vegas puts with him.

You all better be right about him being a true 2C...

Put big daddy Nuke next to him and if things get spicy put Mikko on the other side

 

[forsbergavs32]

No word that the Avs are done, wonder if a move got in before the bell

 

[Ararana]

How?!?!

The voted to close it before they used it. This was like 2019.

Just mind-bogglingly stupid.

 

[Tralfamadore]

I hope they miss.

Ideally but doubt they miss. Don't see Calgary making up those 6 points.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

How?!?!

They have over $7M in LTIR space, and the retention drops Hertl's cap hit to $6.75M

My god SJ management are moronic.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Please elaborate on being better than Hertl

Better defensively and similar production without the same usage.

 

[Tralfamadore]

How?!?!

I'm sure someone will get "injured"

 

[Grigowski]

How?!?!

Yeah, sure.......No f***ing way....

 

[sethro109]

LA almost got Ullmark. That would have been too smart for LA to do.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

My god SJ management are moronic.

 

[TheForsbergShow]

I know ppl complain about this loophole. But man, imagine how even more boring trade deadline week would be without it. If anything they should open things up a bit more. Let's see some one off super teams every postseason go at it.

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Did CMac sleep in? Still waiting on a goalie.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The Sharks are not a smart team.
