GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[Tommy Shelby]

So are we happy we moved byram for mitts, or would we have preferred that hertl deal but swap out edstrom for ritchie?

As us again in 3 years when he's LTIRetired

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

What this doesn't mention is that Vegas has infinite cap space

 

[Muffin]

@Muffin hope you're OK

It’s Dater so he’s probably on flight to Calgary for Markstrom right now.

Let’s see what Mitts looks like when he lines up with our guys. If he works out, much prefer him over Hertl. Young, fast, won’t have the falloff that Hertl will have in the coming years.

 

[hockeyfish]

If the flames still have a trade in the queue then I think we do too...

Agreed.

Ok I'll ask again in an hour

 

[Cousin Eddie]

unfortunately Dater has found some type of source close to the Avs again I think. Seems to have known a few things going on dating back to Nuke in Canada in January. So he’s probably right about the Avs being done.

Who would talk to that guy……dater has no respect from anyone anymore but sure seems so.

 

[hockeyfish]

Nevermind.

Well obviously couldn't have done the Hertl deal while retaining Byram.

And I think I'd rather have Mittelstadt.

 

[JLo217]

what is this about?

 

[Avaholic29]

Probably wasn’t a reasonable deal for a goalie out there. No one actually thought they’d find another goalie capable of taking starters role? lol

 

[hockeyfish]

Now I think it's over.

 

[Muffin]

Our only hope is for Annunen to Adin Hill it. I'm going to say Georgiev won't be the starting by the end of round 1.

 

[The Merchant]

what is this about?

Just a joke that Vlasic is the last man standing

 

[Avs44]

I can't believe a team like Pittsburgh wouldn't move Nedjelkovic for cheap as the deadline came to a close...quite surprised, since it seems everyone was convinced the Avs were going to be adding a veteran netminder.

[Bill Peckerskull]

Or not

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I'm still waiting on the edge of my seat for the Avs to mention they've acquire Igor Shesterkin for a pat on the back and a high five.

 

[Miri]

I thought we did quite well trading-wise, getting 2C at last, getting rid of Johansen, but then the fecking Vegas waltzes in and would trade for literally everyone, fielding 110M roster in playoffs. Now tell me Mark Stone will return for playoffs, while Landy wont, so the misery is complete.

The worst thing about this, our window wont likely be any longer than the one of Vegas.

 

[Ararana]

Some good insight from Kevyn Adams on the CM/Byram deal.

Avs and Buffalo had a deal in place for a while but it was dependant on the Avs finding a D replacement for Byram first

 

[henchman21]

Probably means nothing else

 

[PAZ]

I hate San Jose more than I have Vegas in this deal. You give them a #2C center in the playoffs where the LTIR is actually beneficial to them, replace needing to pay Stephenson, retain 17% to make Hertl's contract reasonable moving forward, give up 2 3rds... and only get 2 late 1sts in return.

Hertl is a far superior player to Mittelstadt for the next few years, which is the only years that really matter. Wish CMac had the balls to pull off this trade.

 

[LOFIN]

I'm disappointed we didn't at least grab some depth D. Those are usually always available, and we have the capspace.

Regarding a goalie, it's perfectly reasonable to assume there wasn't a good trade available. Oh well, we'll sink or swim with Georgiev. I just hope they will give Annunen (or Prostate) an extended look now. Not just because they probably need to step in at some point during the playoffs, but give Georgiev some rest man.

Overall, still an A trade deadline from CNap. Addressed our biggest need by dealing from a position of strength, and beefed up the bottom-6. And I guess you can make the argument that Walker -> Byram right now, so we didn't really even substract from the lineup.

 

[hockeyfish]

I'm a little shocked they left 3 million in cap space on the table.
