GDT: 2025 NHL Trade Deadline - March 7

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Rob Blake does dumb things

We should see if he has interest in Donato and offer Donato + Kaiser for Clarke

Give Hawks yet another young NHL talent for rebuild and further improve our RD depth going forward

Imagine a future in a couple years of

Vlasic-Levshunov
Del Mastro-Clarke
Allan-Rinzel

-- Completely forgot about Korchinski,,, hmm one of our D gets traded for scorer in this scenario --

hoping that KD goes and out acquires Cozens and Zegras, they need to get Bedard some running mates with ppg upside

take this and run obviously, and I would say the same for Bowen Byram if Buffalo feels compelled to bail on him, assuming its a hockey trade that doesn't involve meaningful picks/prospects

Zegras only has one more year under contract before he's an RFA. While I'm not the biggest Boeser fan, I'd rather they just sign him since it only takes money vs picks and money like it does for Zegras.
 
Fast center that wins faceoff.

He isn't anything special, but he's more useful than Reichel.
you can see the flashes with Reichel, he was a ppg in AHL, IDK why they feel so compelled to play him on the 4th line with guys like Maroon, somehow he'll end up on a team like Vegas or Tampa and find his game again after we sell him for pennies on the dollar

why not get all of them, we have cap to burn, we have a boatload of picks and prospects, Zegras could easily find himself back at a ppg type of pace with a change of scenery, he wasn't a Verbeek pick iirc, we know how that can go for a player

I'd wait one more year before giving up any picks/prospects. Right now I'd just spend the money to bring in talent, because like you said, they have more than enough of it. Keep all the lottery tickets in picks/prospects that you can in the meantime.

You've been seeing the flashes for years, and they never manifest into anything

He's on the 4th line because they've literally given plenty of chances to him in the top 6 and he blows it every single time

this organization should've learned a long time ago that you need to be patient with young players, team is in last, why bail on a 22 year old former 1st round pick unless a really good opportunity presents itself, and they've had subpar coaching staffs the entire time he's been up, maybe he would thrive in a guy like Mike Sullivan's system, and even if he does peak as a bottom 6 forward he should still project as an above avg player in that role

I mean yea Reichel’s been nothing but a disappointment since his rookie year, but I think he had the tools to be a speedy, responsible bottom sixer with 30-40 point upside. I’d rather give him a chance
 
I'm very open to a trade of Reichel if we get an equally young/skilled "change of scenery" player.

However, I'm expecting Reichel to be traded soon - probably as a favor to the player & a future consideration type return.

Maybe to San Jose?

75mins with Bedard = plenty?
39mins with TT = plenty?
52mins with Bertuzzi = plenty?
27mins with Nazar = plenty?
30mins with Donato = plenty?

And it's not like these mins are consecutive mins, where they could build any sort of chemistry.

But not sure why I am even bothering to respond to you when it comes to Reichel.
 
Jake Evans extended 4 years x 2.85mil

This season has been tough, but this deadline is playing right into the hands of the Blackhawks. Prices are sky high and way too many teams are still in the playoff hunt to sell.

Put stupid prices on some more players and see who bites, guaranteed someone will.

Buffalo sent 2 scouts to watch Reichel last night
 
Zegras isn’t going to be a crazy cost. Guy has fallen off since his 2023 season. Only 30 pts in this and last season combined (roughly 66 GP)
