Rumor: 23-24 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part Trois: The Road to the Deadline

[henchman21]

Sounds like Quinn Hughes before this year. Context is everything.

Except that Hughes is excellent defensively and has been near top 10 defensive point share all but one season of his career.

 

[lionsDen]

No problem. I'll see you around on the main board.

Gett‘er done champ.

Some of you guys have such a warped view of Byram. Has a huge ego. Wants to play pond hockey. Only cares about points. Needs to be "the guy." Teammmates don't like him.

Literally none of this is true.

The bias is so strong against him, some can't even give him props when he's obviously been playing much better, and quite well IMO, the last 7 games. Even Bednar has said this, and he's as honest as it gets.

You can tell the bias is strong, when Mando just says his play has been "trending upwards" and the response is to tear Bo down with cherry picked stats against him, and then downplay the stats that are good.

All because we didn't draft Zegras. Who of course supposedly doesn't have ego problems and his teammates love. Bias is so out of control around here.

So much bravado for someone who has asked for the "kid" glove treatment.

I'd be curious to see his defensive stats if he were to play 3rd pair on the right side with Ian Cole as a partner.

And matched with RJ's line most of the game.

They'd still be much, much better... he had near top 10 numbers with his most common partners being Luke Schenn and Tucker Poolman (his third most common partner was Myers that season). This board really underrates how good Quinn Hughes is. This is the first season he's had a decent partner since Tanev in his rookie season.

lol not at all. Hughes has elite offensive abilities and has since entering the league.

Nah, we're just trying to balance out @The Kingslayer basically offering to have Quinn's babies.

Have a nice day.

You too!

Have we traded for anyone yet?

Yeah we traded for Caleb Jones.

 

[the_fan]

Yeah we traded for Caleb Jones.

Oh…

I’ve heard he’s the son of Popeye Jones. Any truth to that?

You should see me off the internet.

Yes he is

I don't know who that is.

I still think it's so strange that Cal Burke is still playing for the Eagles even though the Hurricanes and Wolves kissed and made up (kinda).

Yeah definitely weird. It might have just been part of the agreement when they made the trade, so maybe they have to stick with it for the rest of the season.

Solid trade though for CMac. They're usually good with those smaller trades/wavier pickups. Cal probably wasn't going to find a role on the team, and Caleb's a decent depth defenseman.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Just trade for Saros and Novak and hope Novak blossoms with additional minutes and that Saros can find his Vezina form again, then just hope Makar, MacK and Saros all go God Mode in the playoffs so we can sweep our way to the Cup.

 

[the_fan]

I don't know who that is.

He’s the father of Seth Jones

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Still can't believe we ended up with MacKinnon, Drouin and Jones. Who knew Caleb was going to provide better value per dollar than his brother?

 

[lionsDen]

I don't know who that is.

He works for the nuggets

Ok you win the sarcasm battle. I can't tell anymore.

Lil Squirt is close to re-signing.
