GDT: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Avs going to trade for Binnington and he's going to lead us several Cups...it will be a very confusing time for all involved.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

going to be f***in boring today...These broadcasting channels should demand that any trades made during the week cannot be announced until trade deadline day

lol, it would be great if the deals couldn't be announced, but the players could play for their new teams.

Lol i have been a die hard avs fan for decades.. I don't know if my fandom could survive binnington on our team.. I hate that whiny bitch so much lol

No they cannot play until after deadline day... Imagine waking up at 8 am and the guys on TSN/NHL network starting to announce the trades one by one

 

[UncleRisto]

We have cap space and assets. If a goalie is not available, then at least get that depth D.

Bring back Big Z actually, if that's the case. We can take on the full hit if that's our only add. I imagine Vancouver could make that move if they want to add a forward.

I meant about forwards moving out.

If I can survive Brad May, I can survive anything.

Rumored ask for Buchnevich per Servalli is 3 1sts. So either 2 1sts + good prospect or 1 1st + 2 good prospects.

Makes sense considering the Blues are willing to retain half his contract.

 

[Ararana]

Waking up and looking at the depth chart on deadline day.... ironically I think LHD is the team's biggest weakness right now (outside of 2G).

An injury to either Toews or Girard could be catastrophic to the defense. Walker might have to play on the left if that happens.

I'm still annoyed we acquired a washed up Dubnyk.

price is a bit high , but he still has term.

Yea the D and G situations are pretty uncomfortable.

Manson, Makar and playoff Girard aren't exactly ironman material...wouldn't want a starting lineup with JJ, Jones and Malinski all together.

 

[Miri]

What the hell it's 8am and we haven't traded for Crosby yet...CMac is failure.

This is obviously sarcasm.

But...is it? :-D

Someone pour some of that Adamantium into Girard's sternum.

that is high... seriously doubt anyone pays that... one 1st maybe, but 2-3 1st's?? GM's will be telling dougii boy to go play with himself

You will cheer everytime opposition scores against him...then you realize its Avs they scored against.

He's got one year left, and if it's 50% retained that's 3.5m for basically a PPG forward (yeah this has been a down year).

 

[jabubenice]

He's got one year left, and if it's 50% retained that's 3.5m for basically a PPG forward (yeah this has been a down year).

if we had the assets and need, would you pay 3 ones for him?

 

[hockeyfish]

50% retained would put his cap hit at 2.9.

 

[The Abusement Park]

if we had the assets and need, would you pay 3 ones for him?

Yup. A ~70pt winger at 2.4mil for 2 cup runs would be massive for our window.

 

[LOFIN]

if we had the assets and need, would you pay 3 ones for him?

No, because we don't need him. We need to spend our assets elsewhere.

But let's say Gabe was 100% done for the year, Nuke isn't coming back, Droun has been a disaster like RyJo, and Lehkonen is still playing a bit meh because of his injury? Yes.

Actually, I would probably punt on the season at that point, but you see my point. We are LOADED on wingers right now, even without Landeskog.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Dowd would be nice in a vacuum, but numbers wise how do you make that work without shipping someone else out?

Landeskog* - Mackinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Drouin - Colton - Wood
Trenin - Dowd - LOC
Parise, Cogliano, Duhaime, Kovalenko, etc.

Seems like overkill to be sitting a vet like Parise who just signed with the Avs to win a cup, along with Cogliano, Duhaime (who you just paid a 3rd for to be the 15th forward), and Kovalenko (who just cut his contract short in the KHL to come over and who Cmac spoke about being an NHL player.

Its possible this might have some chronolgical bias. If they do get Dowd, even after the adds so far, that would suggest he was probably always a valued target. But you could be right and maybe they pass on the idea for that reason. Bednar did comment about Trenin playing C before apparently.

Yesterday, AJ made an interesting observation that Trenin and Duhaime might be a signal they'd consider trading Wood due to the similarity/redundancy.

 

[LOFIN]

50% retained would put his cap hit at 2.9.

Thought it was 6.9 mil cap hit but that was actually his salary this year. So yeah, even better.

The bolded seems like a completely ridiculous take IMO.

 

[Anders Cain]

I'm sadly having a realization that maybe they are concerned long term in LOCs health, and landys possible returm
