GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[The Moops]

CMac reads HF. There's no other explanation at this point. Dude saw us calling him CNap and took it personally.

CMac please accept my apology on behalf of all of HFAvs

 

[VikingAv]

On a serious note here, I love the moves so far, but they need to be careful to not make too many changes and disrupt the chemistry of the team

I'm in the same boat, there is such a thing as making too many moves and changing too much. Having said that, I still want a goalie, a 6D and a 4C
Awesome moves and players brought in, so far

 

[Avs44]

I knew I forgot someone

This pushes LOC even further down the food chain

I know people like Kovalenko around here, but I'd also be shocked if a guy comes over from the KHL and immediately steals a spot from one of Bednar's regulars. Kovalenko will either be a 4th liner or be in the pressbox...maybe some time on the third line if there are injuries.

 

[LOFIN]

We need ONE MORE TRADE CMAC ONE MORE

Two. Add a depth D-man and get a backup goalie.

 

[avsfan2189]

lek - mack - rants
drouin - mitts - nuke
landy - colton - wood
parise - trenin - loc
kovalenko
duhaime
cogliano
wagner
kiviranta

lmao absolute madness (this is projection when healthy)

 

[Avaholic29]

Trenin and Duhaime make this this so much harder to play against. Cmac is cooking.

 

[Richard Doll]

lek - mack - rants
drouin - mitts - nuke
landy - colton - wood
parise - trenin - loc
kovalenko
duhaime
cogliano
wagner
kiviranta

lmao absolute madness (this is projection when healthy)

I think it would be a big mistake to lineup Drouin and Mitts on the same line.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Trenin doesn’t play C?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

CMAc called Montreal for Jake Evans, price was a 2nd rounder but I don't know if they retained (he's still signed next year at 1.7M). He's a real 4C.

I'd rather we never make another deal with that team ever again for the rest of time. I cannot stand so many of the people in that fanbase, and my life would be more joyous if I never had to interact with some of them ever again.

 

[Avs44]

No matter what the results end up being, CMac got aggressive and did work. Props for that and I think that is all that can be really asked. Give your team a damn good shot to lift the Cup. If it fails, at least the effort was there. If it succeeds, none of the prices matter.

Very happy with the work done so far.

Yep. When you've got a great core, the worst feeling if you lose in the playoffs is the perpetual "what if" that will never go away if the GM just stood pat. Did you waste a season, could you have advanced had you been aggressive?

This might not work out but there won't be lingering questions about whether it might have worked out with an aggressive deadline.

Instead, if it fails we get to blame Georgiev and the referees.

 

[avsfan2189]

I think it would be a big mistake to lineup Drouin and Mitts on the same line.

i think drouin has dispelled that stigma this season, he's a forechecking beast and responsible for 200 ft now

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Duhaime is probably my 13th forward. I like Parise more than him.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Trenin doesn’t play C?

He does, and he will. Whether he wants to or not

 

[JLo217]

We need ONE MORE TRADE CMAC ONE MORE

3 more.

-I still want one of Buchnevich or Guetnzel
-1G or 1B
-bottom pairing LD

 

[Tommy Shelby]

i think drouin has dispelled that stigma this season, he's a forechecking beast and responsible for 200 ft now

I think it's more about them both being pass-first types, would be much better paired with shooters like MacK, Nuke and Mikko

 

[Richard Doll]

i think drouin has dispelled that stigma this season, he's a forechecking beast and responsible for 200 ft now

My main issue is that both he and Mitts are pass first guys, I don't want to see them out there playing hot potato back and forth.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Two. Add a depth D-man and get a backup goalie.

He could add both in one trade

 

[JH21]

CMac please accept my apology on behalf of all of HFAvs

Speak for yourself

 

[a mangy Meowth]

My main issue is that both he and Mitts are pass first guys, I don't want to see them out there playing hot potato back and forth.

Drouin has looked like a snipe first guy lately

 

[Bender]

If we sent down Kiviranta and Wagner - we'd still have 13 forwards & 7 D-Men and over $4M in cap space.

 

[avsfan2189]

My main issue is that both he and Mitts are pass first guys, I don't want to see them out there playing hot potato back and forth.

that's fair, i mainly slotted him there cuz bednar seems to love leks with Mack more but lek can slide down and trade with drouin.

feels so good to have options now wow lol

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Duhaime is probably my 13th forward. I like Parise more than him.

Parise is a 3rd liner, apples and oranges

 

[VikingAv]

I wonder if all this fwd depth isn't just insecurity about Landy's play when he gets back, but also if they're thinking Drouin could revert to his old self when the game (and rulebook) changes in the playoffs...

 

[Balthazar]

 

[JLo217]

I feel like something has to give on the forward core. Whether it's for a goalie or depth D. There are too many guys. But maybe that's the approach.
