GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[The Kingslayer]

Remember when this board thought Vegas was cooked?

No? Vegas always been Top 5 team. Who said they were cooked? Same people that said the Oilers were cooked after October?

 

[Foppa2118]

Seems the Avs are getting off easy being in the Central so far with Dallas and Winnipeg adding only Tanev and Monahan in comparison to the Pacific going all out.

Imagine the reaction you would have gotten saying this yesterday?

 

[Avs_19]

With what f***ing cap space for an extension?????

When there's LTIR, there are no limitations. Avs are also proof of that haha.

If we're able to hold onto Ritchie, he becomes our 3C in 2025-2026 and you move Colton to 3Lw

If it’s me, I’m easing him in on the wing

Decent amount of people were writing them off after their 21-22 season.

With whatever loophole exploitation they have next up their sleeve

Trade Rants for a boat load.

Go hide...hurray!!

Wonder how Edmonton responds to all of this. Arguably, the pressure is on them more than anyone else in the West to get a cup and soon. Colorado added today; Vancouver might be improving; Vegas is loading up. Does Holland go for Buchnevich? I sure hope not...

I think a D upgrade is way more paramount than Buch for EDM. Maybe they can add Dumba and pair him and Nurse up

No idea, but I’m saying this because of the trades Vegas, Edmonton and soon to be Vancouver have made today.

Crazy people. It was fun watching the demise that season but Vegas always been aggressive going after the best players so I was never worried they were going to suck for any extended amount of time. That team was so depleted with injuries iirc.

If Stone comes back in the playoffs, Vegas will be scary again, if not, they will be replacing Stone with Mantha and gaining Hanifin, I think they will be worse without Stone, but with Stone and if they’re all healthy, that’s the team to beat. Avs would really need Landy back to match up with Vegas

 

[sethro109]

Trade Rants for a boat load.

If Rants keeps regressing like he has this season, yeah. But a player rebounding from a bad season isn't uncommon. However, it would be really hard to tell with Mikko since it's going to be a contract year next season. Jake also isn't a spring chicken.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Go hide...hurray!!

Nah!

Yah Stone as ugly as he is is the heart and anus of that team. If he plays in the playoffs thats the team to beat in the West.

Luongo having the balls to call them out.

You just know they are gonna get Guentzel or Buchnevich.

 

[henchman21]

I’m here for the bloodbath

 

[Balthazar]

Friedman said it was between Carolina, NYR and Colorado for Guentzel

 

[Avs44]

You just know they are gonna get Guentzel or Buchnevich.

Alright, we should move our 2024 1st and one of our 1st rounders from last season. Go big game hunting.

 

[sethro109]

Friedman said it was between Carolina, NYR and Colorado for Guentzel

I'm fine with anything other than Ritchie.

 

[Chibby]

Friedman said it was between Carolina, NYR and Colorado for Guentzel

Friedman said Avs are favorite?!?!

 

[avalanche_country]

I’m scared what Guentzel would cost us but YOLO

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Friedman said it was between Carolina, NYR and Colorado for Guentzel

If Pitts really want prospects/players that are ready to go, and not just picks... It's gonna suck when the Avs trade Lehkonen for Guentzel.
