GDT: 2024 TDL thread. Post all trades, rumors, and etc around the league. (TDL, Friday 3/8 @ 3pm ET)

This system is a joke, teams that aren't manipulating the system are benefitting and it's always the same 3 teams, tampa, Vegas and Colorado.

Trading Kakko and a 1st for a rental who won't be on PP1 would certainly be a transaction.

I'm against the trade but Guentzel if thats who you're talking about should be on pp over either Zib or Trochek.

 

[TominNC]

So we're trading a RW for another LW? Has Guentzel actually played RW any significant amount of time or would this require video game lines?

 

[Filip Chytil]

I like to live dangerously.

But in all seriousness we have 1 Cup since Pearl Harbor and I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Im not going to be upset about adding a guy with 34 goals in 58 career playoff games.

Then he comes to NY and disappears in the postseason

I saw this one coming after @McRanger92's reference.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We shouldn't be in on Guentzel, for many reasons but the main one is we have no idea what kinda player he is without Sid so why unload prospects and picks. Do we think he'll be as good with Zib as he was with Sid....I'm really doubtful it's even close.

He's a lefty

I mean he lobbed a softball...

So? Whats your point?

 

[Profet]

Blockbuster trades with the Pens don't tend to work out in our favor. I don't see this being any different.

Ochocinco says otherwise.

 

[New York RKY]

I can’t take another day of this.

Doubtful Drury and front office is even aware of this.

Real puck knowers would have him on Panarin's wing

I 100% agree. And I think there's a strategy to how injuries are handled organizationally. It's never a guy with an expiring contract that goes out on LTIR. It's someone with term and security. No player is going to agree to go on LTIR if they're fighting for a new deal. And every player has nagging injuries. I think it's about how those teams handle those kinds of injuries. I'm sure every player would prefer to rest and fully recuperate from all their nagging injuries, or maybe get a surgery they could have waited for the offseason to have. Then the org kind of swoops in and couches the discussion such that they have their asses covered but still get the desired LTIR outcome.

The league should be involved once an injury occurs. I dont trust Vegas at all

All the more reason to force Mika into waiving his NMC if he can't find enough success this playoff run to win a Stanley Cup

Booookkkkkkk eeetttttt??

Aren't league doctors involved for LTIR cases?

I don't know that they are but there are certain things that you just can't fake your way around.

 

[duhmetreE]

I'd be interested to here how you think it would work, I can never come up with a sensible solution.
If you extend the days out to the theoretical end of the SCF it has some really weird effects on cap calculation for every team that doesn't make it that far. And what happens if you assume you aren't getting past the 2nd round so plan your cap accordingly. Can you only play with 16 players to be cap compliant during the conference finals?

it's a new season. you want to give a little cushion like 5%? sure. Team on the ice has to be compliant. Whatever the league determines it has to be an even playing field...

icing a roster that's $100M against a team thats in the $80's is a major issue. 2 of the 3 last cup winners abused it. It's an unfair competitive advantage

It'd be like a Light Heavyweight fighting a Welterweight. It just doesn't make sense

 

[irishlaxburger2]

They can request medical records, but I think that's the extent of it.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Zibanejad, Kakko and 1st for Crosby and Guentzel.

I'm drunk btw.

Send whatever you're drinking to Dubas.

yeah it needs to be addressed

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'm against it...but i think we'll have Guentzel for Kakko and a 1st, in this scenario we still need another rw.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think people also need to stop jumping to conclusions with Guentzel.

Nothing reputable has really come out.
