GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[UncleRisto]

We already have a weaker defense than a week ago

Hmm. No we don't.

 

[Muffin]

We already have a weaker defense than a week ago, remove Girard (who isn't a playoff performer to begin with) and the picture isn't good.

The week started pretty well, but today was disappointing.

Walker is a huge upgrade over this year's version of Byram. We also now have 3RHD and 3LHD.

 

[Gumballhead]

Walker is going to be a main PK guy so we can save Cale’s poor hips some high stress minutes.

 

[BobRossColton]

Hopefully all these defensive forwards can reduce George getting hung out to dry

I suppose there's just no stopping this silly narrative. One bad series against Vegas (where he was not even close to being the worst player for Colorado) where he was likely playing hurt and some 3 years later this shit still keeps getting spewed out.

And no the defense is not weaker.

Hopefully all these defensive forwards can reduce George getting hung out to dry

It'd also help if he could, y'know...make the big save.

Momm nope, that isn't true.

 

[BrickNHL]

and stop kicking every f***ing rebound into the slot

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I think we could have still used another defensive dman but the D isn't bad with Walker playing the way he has this year.

 

[Grigowski]

So I give the Avs a b- only because we needed a goalie… I wanted to give it a c so he happy lol

B+ from my side....Wanted a goalie and another option in goal too......

But overall we are one of the clear winners of this TDL.....

 

[Balthazar]

 

[Chibby]

I’d bet my life I know when

 

[Grigowski]

Yeah, sure....

I really hope whoever plays Vegas in Round 1 will remember this bullshit.....

I am sure Duhaime or Rosco will....

 

[EdAVSfan]

General prognosis on recovery for a lacerated spleen is like 2+ months.

And this injury apparently started 2 weeks ago

 

[Foppa2118]

Kelly and his Vegas doctors trying to figure out how long a "lacerated" spleen takes to heal.

 

[Metallo]

Lacerated spleen... how do you get that appart from walking the wrong side of town. Ruptured like Forsberg I get but lacerated?

 

[Muffin]

Sounds like Hertl's value around the league is not as high as people on the internet thinks with that huge contract.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Sounds like Hertl's value around the league is not as high as people on the internet thinks with that huge contract.

I mean, he’s a 30 year old with a long term contract coming off knee surgery and has plateaued as a 60ish point player.
He’s a 2C in the same vein as Kadri.

 

[henchman21]

Sounds like Hertl's value around the league is not as high as people on the internet thinks with that huge contract.

The equivalent deal is 25 1st + Ritchie from here.

 

[Frobbo]

They had the cap space to make Kahkonen work without any need for retention. Hard to believe they wound't just flip a 4th over there to snag insurance. Maybe SJ was simply to busy to take the call.

Typical grass is greener outlook. Thinking KK (or any other marginally available goalie) was/is an answer is a reach. There is a very short runway of goalers acquired at the deadline having impactful playoffs.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Would love if Vegas don't make the playoffs with a 98M cap.

 

[BrickNHL]

Does your report button still work?

You should report @BrickNHL and get even once and for all.

If you snitch on me... well, you already know my threat

 

[Freaky Styley]

I don't like not getting another goalie even though I know they tried. I don't have much faith in Georgiev and it puts a lot of pressure on Annunen to save our season. He will have to continue his strong play for us to have a chance.

If we win the cup, I don't think Georgie is in net. Another D man like Tinordi wouldn't have hurt either. I would have rather traded Meyers for him than the pick.

 

[BobRossColton]

Would love if Vegas don't make the playoffs with a 98M cap.

I mentioned in around the league, they play central 8 times, face Seattle twice and and Calgary once.

 

[Balthazar]

So nobody wanted him even a 2M next season

 

[Foppa2118]

So nobody wanted him even a 2M next season

Off season is a better time to move him anyway. Playoff teams have limited cap space and can't afford to gamble much.
