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

[Richard Doll]

Okay lads, hear me out. I dislike him as a player, very flawed, but he knows the system and has talent. Andre Burakovsky if we can't find an upgrade on Mittelstadt?

Two years left at 5.5 million. With the cap going up and Seattle potentially retaining ~25% of that, it would look pretty smooth.

He isn't really a bottom 6 guy, and unless we are upgrading Mitts at 2C, there really isn't a spot on the top 6. He wouldn't fit.

I just don’t understand what Carolina was thinking with the Mikko trade. You knew he was difficult to negotiate with, which is why the team that wanted to keep him and he wanted to stay with, moved him in the first place.

If you’re making that move, you’ve got to be prepared to pay Mikko whatever is necessary to get a deal done, even if it’s an overpay.

Does anyone get the feeling that at least one big domino falls today?

Pertly why I say that is because it almost seems like Tampa did a pivot yesterday after possibly being in on someone else. I could be completely wrong of course but that’s the vibe I get.

Edit: I just saw a tweet from Pagnotta indicating they were interested in Nelson.

Probably thought they would get 100+ point Mikko and were winning the cup.

f*** it Biz.... you've made life kinda fun with this whole thing. It never had a chance in hell of hapening of course, but damn it's a fun thought.

[edit... to be honest, I respect Sid for sticking it out. He's got nothign left to prove to the world of hockey. He might as well just claim his fame as the first three time Cup Captain of the Tuxedoed Arctic Ducks. Jests aside, it is very rare to have a career as long as his has been, one that was marred by concussion issues to boot, and to have been so excellent at everything for one team and one team only. By staying home, he enters the realm of the Stevie Y's, Joey NYRsakic, and Sean "where the f*** is Arizona" Doan. Kidding aside, in the words of Gaff, "You've done a man's job sir."]

Tuxedoed Antarctic Ducks.

100 point Mikko was a mirage.

Got to think Cmac finishes that DnD tournament and gets back to the trades today.

@SoundwaveIsCharisma did you just unlock the old trade thread so you could reply to @The Kingslayer today?

The rest of us have to copy and paste like neanderthals.

Doubt anything happens with the Avs till after the game tonight.

They already had that issue with Necas, so it was a lateral move at worst. I also do think they have offered him enough money. Mikko just doesn't feel comfortable committing to staying in Carolina for the rest of his career.

Am I a bad person?

I'm in Orlando with the wife and kids. Wife said we are doing Magic Kingdom on Friday.

I convinced my wife that we should do Magic Kingdom tomorrow(Thursday) instead of Friday. I told her the weather doesn't look great for Friday so we should just do stuff around the resort that day.

The weather for Friday currently calls for complete sunshine.

Now I can sit around the pool on my phone following trade deadline stuff all day Friday.

Bad person or good sports fan?

You da man !

Whatever happened to Connor Murphy? I used to like that guy.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

f*** it, just send a few firsts to Carolina to bring Mikko back.

Lehk - MacK - Mikko
Nuke - Mitts - Necas
Drouin - Drury - Colton
Wood - Kelly - OC

 

[lionsDen]

Wow, that’s pretty rough. Could send that team into a pretty big tailspin

 

[Hesher]

The Avs love to bring back former players so I fully expect Nico Sturm to stay in Denver after the game.

 

[flyfysher]

Relieved that Mikko is THEIR problem. Best to focus on the Avs’ needs now.

Will be less funny when he's traded to Vegas or Dallas

I think LA has the motivation to make it happen. Would mikko want to be in LA

Cmac does his best work on Fridays also
