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

way to cherry pick a few late round steals. Its very lucky and rarely happens. Thats not the point though. The window to a win cup is closing, so you need to go for it (with calculated asset management). holding onto a 2024 late second rounder and playing an AHLer at 3C when your window is open is moronic.

If they dont win a cup soon then you start selling off and recouping assets. Its fine to go all in and move picks. The real problem is not knowing when to fold.

"Way to cherry pick some of the Rangers top players including their Norris defenseman and Vezina goaltender"

For the sake of reasoning, lets assume the following:

1. Twin Towers go back down to Hartford for remainder of regular season (pending emergency injury callups) and can return for POs as Black Aces
2. Zach Jones is dealt

Rangers then have $5,250,084 in total cap space (LTIR) to use to acquire a depth D and a RW. Who do we acquire, what does it cost and how do we squeeze this in?

I would think Vatrano for a 1st with something small retained and a cheap big D is the path that Drury is on.

Anaheim can’t retain anymore this season. Slots filled

Unf***ing real. The one season we can play LTIR games with the cap, we get a middling 3C, while Vegas loads up yet again.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Stay the f*** away from vatrano

Can’t wait for Mark Stone to magically be healed of his “ailments” Game 1.

 

[Kords]

If Stone comes back day 1 for the post season and they win another cup, it's gonna be a real bad look for the league.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Vegas somehow being able to snag all these guys every year is wild. If you want a model to follow that’s the one

 

[Rangers in 7]

Apparently they investigated it last year as well

But if he comes back game 1 something needs to be done.

If it’s round 2 or 3 you have to let it go

Going all in, but the all in piece being Vatrano wouldn’t be good.

He's got a torn spleen. There's no reliable recovery metric for it as far as I've heard.

Didn't he have a lacerated spleen? That's pretty legit.

Like the league gives a shit...they'll love it even more...More incentive to expand for $1B this go round.

A 3rd team can still retain though, no?

Seems legit by what Friedman just said and good. Hanifin would cost a fortune and the Rangers D, while needing some help does not Hanifin

 

[17futurecap]

He’s extending with Vegas too, that’s how you make a big trade.

We’ll see if he comes back in right at the start of the playoffs otherwise yeah there’s not much that can be said.

Would be unacceptable frankly

They’ll move more pieces now and add a forward

Not sure good question

 

[will1066]

I'm pretty sure they'd rather 14 picks from 2028 than a cup from this year.

mas0764 and GENESISPuck94 initially agree to relinquish a few third-round picks, and things go smoothly for awhile, but an hour into the project, as Drury grabs some fifth-round picks, they suddenly change their minds, grinding trade activities to halt. Dr. Zasio steps in to speak with both men.

Someone tried to sneak in Maxim Barbashev and they said NO DICE you can only have Talyn Boyko.

Vegas has those trees on D. That's how you win in the playoffs. One of us could play goal for Vegas and we would win the Cup this June.

One of these idiots is right.
