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

Let's sit back and enjoy the ride, or complain about the ride, or bash the driver, whatever suits you lol

 

[Go Rangers]

What would you have done?

Deadline day is not the day for long-term moves. It's the day to overpay for marginal or expiring pieces.

Other than Guentzel, who I'm glad we didn't overpay for, I really would have liked to see Chychrun. The biggest issue I have with this management is their complete blindness to Trouba and Lindgren sucking ass. But TBH that was probably a pipe dream and I never expected it.

Maybe they are seeing it and just going on wait to what’s available this summer.

There is one here already..

Confirmed with Link: - Wennberg (50% retained) to NYR For a 2nd ('24) and 4th ('25)

I meant on HFNYR, since we have threads for the other trades.

I love Vegas' approach of just continuing to put talented players on their roster.

It's f***ing mind blowing how that works out.

Something tells me, this core is going to see some changes this off season.

I mean it also helps to have half your roster “get hurt” at the right time and not have to follow the rules that everyone else does

I’m not saying more teams shouldn’t do it. But it’s very convenient that 14.5 mil is available this year and 9.5 mil 2 years in a row before that. Bettman also will do anything for the continued success of Vegas

One thing I really don't like about the deadline news cycle is the players that get mentioned in trade rumors that don't get moved.

I'm specifically thinking of Kakko. There was one report that came out that implied he was part of the package for Guentzel. And he IS an RFA this summer. And assuming that resigning him is an option we want to retain this summer, it does not help that his name appears in trade rumors. It doesn't exactly show a commitment to a young player to have his name reported by a legit beat reporter as being in a trade proposal. It complicates matters. Being an RFA Kakko has limited leverage, but this could very well complicate negotiations. Hopefully for him, he has a kickass playoffs and all this becomes moot.

I really don't want to trade him until we see what he looks like closer to his prime. I think he's going to get better and better and be a different impactful player at 25 or 26 than he is now. but there's some hope mixed in there.

The problem with our country club core is that no one is willing to sacrifice their spleen for the cause. Bunch if babies...

Odd. Wasn’t he rumored to be a Rangers fan? And he doesn’t want to get a chance at the playoffs?

They don’t call him Casperetty for nothing.

But still, they traded for Stone, Pietrangelo, and Eichel without the LITR

As far as I know he was t actually included in a proposal and that was some dumb twitter bullshit where they misrepresent what was actually said

We should just do that. The league has continually ignored it.
