GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[rmthomson21]

That guy or person is just angry about life. Then again living in AZ is reason enough

Co-signing this as a ~20 year AZ resident

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I understand if Cocaine Chris slept through the deadline. I’ve done 3 day heaters before. Sometimes the crash happens at a time you’re required to do something important but it doesn’t matter.

You can’t stop the crash

Either way, great week by Cocaine Chris. Hope you managed to sneak a goalie in but if not, all good. Get some rest.

Those days of crashing at 10 AM and sleeping through the entire day regardless of what is scheduled to happen.

Electrifying stuff.

If Landy comes back I still take us over everyone in the West now.


Goaltending is the only question mark. Would have liked to get something done there but I do think they can win either average goaltending from George or Fatty #1

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Someone has yet to clarify the Hertl deal, but sound like Vegas got Hertl AND two 3rds for a 1st and Vegas's 1st round pick from 2023

 

[Ararana]

Fatty #1

 

[henchman21]

Well Vegas is terrifying in the immediate and they're going to fall off a cliff so f***ing fast at some point.

Logic states they will, but with that ownership group just completely willing to do whatever it takes to win, I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Avs44]

We have to be adding a goalie still, right....?

 

[Bender]

I think a key here for San Jose is that Hertl is already 30 years old. You wait another year and he could easily be pure cap dump, negative value territory.


The value looks rough but it might look decent in a year or two from now.

They'll find a way to have him join Robin Lehner and use his cap space to keep doing this kind of thing.

When you think about it, other GMs don't NEED TO BE MORONS and keep helping these f***s

 

[jabubenice]

The deal is basically the same as Avs 25 1st + Ritchie for Hertl + 2 3rds

Is Edstrom as good as ritchie?

Is SJ really a budget team? Their owner has IBM money. If you're rebuilding a franchise, I would think they want to maximize returns above all else.

It's not even just the money. 6 more years with $4M in dead cap. You're basically handicapping yourself when you hope to be starting to build a contender.


$24M in real money and $4M per year on the salary cap, I don't know if any team in the league does that.

 

[hockeyfish]

Still no work if anything Avs related got done, but seems unlikely now.

 

[Ceremony]

I've been waiting for Las Vegas' strategy to catch up with them for about five years now. Everyone says it's coming. And yet.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Georgiev is going to be scrutinized for every single play all playoffs. Does he at least have some clutch ability like DK? We will see.

 

[Ararana]

Logic states they will, but with that ownership group just completely willing to do whatever it takes to win, I wouldn't bet on it.

We said the same about Tampa. It took them forever to do it, but they did eventually combust.

 

[dahrougem2]

LOL so Vegas GETS picks with Hertl?

Greir is an idiot

Yeah they are very much a budget team. Their attendance in the the toilet and these rich guys got rich for a reason. The Foley's of the world are rare.

 

[Balthazar]

Well looks like there's nothing else in the queue

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Why couldnt we have just convinced ryjo to ltir.

 

[PAZ]

That's an insane deal for Vegas.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

[Mighty Makar]

I guess we’re done?

 

[Ararana]

this f***ing guy



EDIT: He tried to hide it

 

[hockeyfish]

If your brand is being wrong all the time, lean into it.

Oh I think it's an excellent move for Vegas either way. They shouldn't give a shit about 3 years from now.


Just for San Jose, I think them being able to get a 1st round pick plus a 1st round pick prospect in return could look decent in a year or two from now if Hertl is indeed an LTIR candidate or cap dump territory and at 30 years old now and coming off major surgery its always possible. Look at RyJo.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Hope Vegas ends up missing the playoffs

Grier is officially in the Chia/Milbury tier of GMs, what an idiot
