GDT: 2025 Trade Deadline | Y’all Got Anymore of Them Trades?

[Vaslof]

I respect players who play their entire career in one team. Can't hate on Crosby for that.

As much as I want it to happen, Sid's entire life is in Pittsburgh, 10 months a year for almost two decades.

His family, his friends, his charities, his business ventures, his community roots, everything is there.

The people aspect is what we sometimes forget with these players. Sid would be losing all of that.

Did Bourque's? I think their community connections stand.

Blah blah blah

I still want him on the Avs

 

[hockeyfish]

More of the same. Priority is forward. Looking at Nelson, but will add someone if that fails, even if a depth piece.

 

[BaconNater]

I think Sid is having a hard time grappling with the fact that if he comes to Colorado this deadline he will have won the same amount of cups in Colorado and Pittsburgh by the time he retires, he doesn't want Pittsburgh to be overshadowed

I like the way you think.

@Valushkin have we traded for Crosby yet?

Well, if anyone was questioning TFP, there is Lebrun saying it, and he's basically the only one Sakic talks to.

Hope a Nelson trade fails. Dude is old AF.

I'd rather pay up for O'Reilly at 4.5M and years left, so I can't really talk shit about age lol.

Fix what should have always been.

Lou, despite his age, can still consummate a trade. He's like the Hugh Hefner of hockey GMs

Blah to O'Reilly. Dude's still skating to get off the ice from our game two weeks ago. At least Nelson still has it.

 

[BobRossColton]

Noah Cates for our middle six?

I'd I had a choice between Nelson and ROR it'd easily be ROR.

Personally I'd like a better solution than either.

 

[Avs_19]

Nelson is big, decent on faceoffs, skates well, and most importantly a great goal scorer. That would be a big time addition, especially if they also keep Mittelstadt and have him play out the season as the 3C.

Downside is that it'll likely be an expensive bidding war for a rental and a lot of people already have him penciled into the Wild lineup for next season. Not that you'd really want to extend a 33 year old UFA Nelson anyways.

There isn't one..

The asset cost for Nelson as a rental vs ROR at 4.5M next year puts ROR ahead for me. You can justify him at 3C in the future and continue working the problem.

I don't know wtf their ratings are based on, but if you're going to pay costs like 1st & Ritchie etc..

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I agree. ROR sounds decent value even at his age and his contract. I am not sure he would be happy in Colorado, that would be my concern.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

2nd straight Philly game we are scouting.

Obviously we are getting Tippett.

Shh, I know it’s Laughton we are watching.

That would be so bad.

That's obviously going to be us using a 2nd to get EJ back

It was a long time ago, and the only thing he did was value himself highly, then go on to prove it. He should of never left.

TSN has him as easily the best rated center that could be available, and worth 7.5M. I added the card to my post.

The buyers are ready. The market is not quite so fertile when it comes to sellers. So, where do things stand? Check out the Big Board.

Shut up and get on the ROR train lol.

That would be so bad.

For a pure rental, yeah it would suck. Ritchie isn't going to be a 2C in time to save us though even if everything goes well.

Yeah he’s unlikely to be the 2C savior. At the same time, he could be a super valuable winger for really cheap that gives us a ton more cap flexibility.

Yeah, I get that, which is why it would be difficult to include him in a trade for Nelson.

Laughton makes too much sense and would work well here as the 3C and in the lockeroom
