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

Thank goodness. Finding another 1'ish C to add flexibility takes pressure off Mika not being a true Cup winning 1C. I actually love this thought process.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

You know regarding guentzel he’s got a modified ntc and he’s a well respected player. They’re going to ask his input on where he wants to go. Typically guys that play in the east don’t like going to the western conference

Does that factor in here? I don’t know but it’s tough going from Pittsburgh all the way to Vancouver or Edmonton if you don’t have to when your other option is NYC for a few months.

If it's modified, the "no" list would probably be 10-12 teams. I would imagine those teams on the "no" list would be the league's bottom feeders. I also have the feeling he will want to go somewhere he will want to resign with (financial security) rather than as a rental for a few months.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Of course we COULD do it. But it would cost an arm and leg and set us back. All for a injury prone guy for 3 months? No thanks.

 

[haohmaru]

Good. Don’t want him.

 

[Kovalev27]

He's American but he's from Nebraska. I dont think he's blocking a deal to VAN or EDM if it comes down to it. He'd be a legend if he wins in NY though. Look at Messier.



Friedman doesnt know anything. There's not even a center out there worth a first.

It’s more so the eastern conference players want nothing to do with being that far from home and the travel (time zones) I’d imagine home is prob Pittsburgh now

 

[Levitate]

I mean sure but who's available at C worth "big assets", unless again there's some three way trade potential with Vancouver for Lindholm, but in that case I don't want to be sending Vancouver back much at all to help them correct their mistake

 

[DialUp]

If management truly believes this team can win, and that the time is now, they would have Othmann, Gabe, Kakko, multiple 1sts, basically ANYTHING but the "core" in play for Guentzel, Hanifin, etc. BTW, the core absolutely includes Laf and K'Andre, so they aren't going anywhere in any scenario.

I would bet Drury and co know better. If there's an opp to get an upgrade for cheap they'd do it, or even an equal value deal. But I do not believe they are willing to overpay for this year. Record is nice and all, and anything can happen, but they know the odds with this group.

Two days to be proven horribly wrong, of course, as is tradition.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

GET IT DONE, DRUIURY!

Middlestadt?

Doesn’t sound like any of the interested teams are looking at him as more than a rental and reports are he absolutely wants to test the market. But he very well could have Canada on that no trade list for financial reasons alone.

 

[KennyWu]

Very curious to see what Edmonton parts with for Henrique

 

[McRanger92]

Middlestadt?

Talk about mortgaging the future for a nobody, Mittelstadt does nothing for us.

 

[bleedblue94]

weird, that is exactly what i was just saying...

nyr needs c and rw, not another lw to play out of position...

 

[Gardner McKay]

That is actually super concerning considering we have been highly connected to Wennberg and it now makes me think we will drastically overpay for him, where as I expected him to cost very little....

 

[DanielBrassard]

Who though. Wennberg should have no impact on Guentzel

 

[bleedblue94]

That is actually super concerning considering we have been highly connected to Wennberg and it now makes me think we will drastically overpay for him, where as I expected him to cost very little....

that was your mistake, the center market is nonexistent, especially if henrique goes to the oilers..

buyers market my ass

 

[McRanger92]

If you want Guentzel and dont want to "mortgage the future" (whatever that means to people), deal Kakko, jones and a 1st for him. He's a rental. Roster player+prospect+pick is the template for a guy of his caliber.

 

[duhmetreE]

Or controlled leaks. Maybe Drury is looking at Eberle with Wennberg.

Don’t want to give up a 1st

 

[BBKers]

Boone Jenner would be worth a 1st. There is allegedly some internal bad blood still round there regarding the maniac Babcock thing as well

CBJ has been very quiet for a clear seller

Hah. Depends on what’s going the other way Mr Stormcloud.

[Levitate]

They emphatically denied they were interested in moving Jenner though. I think they see him as the "longtime team vet and leader that they need to keep in order to help bring up the young kids"

Friedman had the Rangers interested in Rooney & Blackwell yesterday. he's grasping at straws.

However! He did just say Vancouver and Edmonton dont feel good about their chances to get Guentzel. Who does that leave?
