GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[Alienblood]

Doesn't mention the Avs like Elliote does

Avs need another bluelineer for sure. If /when Cale or Toews het hurt they're screwed.

Can't forsee them beating Edmonton or Vegas already and after those 2 teams add more ......Lights out

Would be hilarious but I don’t see how they’d be pushed out in the pacific.

LA

I know we may need more than 1 piece, but we’re guaranteed one trade with their deadline day tradition.

Curious to see if they do more than the 1

I believe many people crying for CGods head before are eating crow for dinner today. At least they should. We're a lot more balanced and deeper now.

I give this deadline already an A+, but I wouldn't complain about getting a legit 4C, insurance D to compete with JJ or backup goalie.

EASports style, we win the cup if we trade for Saros. But that's not going to happen.

So I recall about 90% of the board praising the hell out of him after he acquired RyJo this summer and we know how that turned out.

CMac did a good job yesterday by attempting a legitimate fix to a glaring problem. It remains to be seen how well this addresses the problem. Because even though on paper it looks good, we have no clue yet if it truly helps.

He gets an A for effort. And an incomplete on effectiveness.

If this move truly helps the team on ice, awesome, I will be glad that after 2 years he finally did something to help. And maybe the team can focus on the true goal of another Cup.

Dude, it was 4 PM.

 

[chet1926]

Very important character trait. Not everyone has it.

I agree. This was the thing I was honestly the most impressed with yesterday.

He f***ed up on RyJo, knew he f***ed up, and managed to take care of it without killing the team.

Of course they are. So is everyone else.

 

[dahrougem2]

Dubas claims he prefers close to NHL ready prospects instead of picks. Which makes me think Vegas doesn't get Guentzel unless they massively outbid everyone else.

 

[jabubenice]

love this quiet before the storm... all hell will break loose in an hour or so...

I am FAR more worried about Sam Girard when the playoffs start...

we always say that about vegas, but somehow someway they always get their guy

Same!

 

[GeoRox89]

It kinda sounds like other teams were offering peanuts for Guentzel. Then last night the Avs came in drop the best offer and the other teams started ponying up actual good assets. Then the Avs threw up their hands said "Too rich for my blood " and backed out.

Avs coming in to drive up the price for all their rivals would be amazing. Since it sounds like we won’t get him, hope he goes to the Canes and not Vegas/Van

 

[Ararana]

Same!

I fully understand Girard would not have returned Fatty, it had to be Byram, but relying on Girard this heavily in the postseason is certainly a choice.

 

[dahrougem2]

I have a feeling the Canucks and Bruins will hunker down and get this three team deal done before Vegas swoops in. It makes sense for all involved.

 

[Mighty Makar]

We definitely need another LD.

 

[dahrougem2]

I fully understand Girard would not have returned Fatty, it had to be Byram, but relying on Girard this heavily in the postseason is certainly a choice.

They will run a mostly 5D rotation with JMFJ sprinkled in for 10-12 minutes. It's what they did in 2022. Only difference is now Walker replaces Bo.

I dont see it... Bruins would be stupid to go for Lindholm. what do canucks have to offer? I see it as bullet dodged on our part... there were so many folks unzipping for Linholm on our board, but dude has been way below average

 

[LOFIN]

Dude, it was 4 PM.

I sleepwalked the workday, woke up now when I got home

 

[jabubenice]

I dont see it... Bruins would be stupid to go for Lindholm. what do canucks have to offer?

however, i can see hurricanes doing it as they have the assets..

 

[Mighty Makar]

We need a goalie!

 

[RoyIsALegend]

4C
6D
2G

Depth stuff. We can get more shit done before the deadline.

This still needs to be the plan but I kind of dream/wish it was a 1G and we could dump George in that trade or somewhere else.

 

[Balthazar]

We definitely need another LD.

I don't know how this is even a question TBH. In a long playoff run we should use at least 8 different dmen.

Right now JJ is #6, that's a no-no.

 

[Azrael89]

This still needs to be the plan but I kind of dream/wish it was a 1G and we could dump George in that trade or somewhere else.

George sucks. His rebound control last night was atrocious.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I wonder if we’re interested in Chychrun?

 

[Balthazar]

George sucks. His rebound control last night was atrocious.

Especially with a guy alone in front of him for several seconds who can take his own rebounds and keep shooting until it goes in.

George is really bad when there's no dman 1 mile around.
