All Purpose Trade/Roster Building Thread XIII - the 23 deadline approaches

[ndp]

All these teams will make all the trades and Tampa will just win it all again.

All it takes is Vasilevskiy going on a tear and they’re just as dangerous as anyone else. They’ve perfectly applied the NBA regular season sleeper system to the NHL. I don’t think you ever really know what you’re going up against in TB until the playoffs start. Those guys are just going through the motions, get in and win.

Yep. Tampa flying under the radar heading into spring. I've seen this movie before.

 

[Stickpucker]

toughness doesnt equal hits and fights. its going to the dirty areas, scoring dirty goals, blocking shots, and not backing down.

I would say it's all of those things.

Svech crushing Lindholm, Trouba concussing Crosby and Jarvis....these were all huge momentum swings in series just last year.

 

[Bub]

This is what the kids call doom scrolling I think.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

we could have had Jack Johnson

We like our group /s

 

[Chrispy]

Missing out on Meier is one thing.

But the Borg couldn’t match the offer to finally get JMFJ!!??

You can say this about any goalie in the playoffs, we just retired a goalie's number for that basically. But it's also not sustainable long term as we saw as well.

There is some solace knowing that Dundon himself has to be just as annoyed as all of us that every contender is making deals and improving while Carolina can't get anything done

The actual trade deadline is going to be interesting. All the big moves came early so I feel like it will either be a complete nothingburger or GMs will go nuts trying to find that last small piece

 

[Canes]

Honestly I love Meier going to the Devils instead of here, that way when we lose in the playoffs again I can show how much of a Rational and True Fan™ I am and how I'm better than all of you.

 

[Unsustainable]

This off-season offersheet Bratt, next offersheet Mercer

Jeannot scratched for trade. He is 100% what Carolina is looking for. Gunler++ for Jeannot.

He is very close to Marchment in profile. One of the top hitters in the league. 24 goals last year and snakebit this year.

He is Warren Foegele with more edge and more offensive talent.

Since the start of last season Jeannot leads the whole league with 508 hits for 5v5. The highest Carolina player over that time is Jordan Staal with 300.

So anyways, queue Tampa or Toronto getting him

Have a feeling he will be a bolt

Which is why Tampa or someone like that will get him. I would sell the farm for Forsberg though, which is why I'm not the Canes GM. Yet.

Would be a 4th liner for us, most likely

 

[Joe McGrath]

I’m a little surprised the Hurricanes have t made a trade and leaked all the details just to spite NJ and SJ. That would be on brand for sure.

lol I didn't realize that Jeannot really needs to be a Cane....he appears to be a RBA clone. As far back as a 17 year old he was turning heads with his physical fitness:

That raises an interesting question: if the Canes don't win the Cup some critics will blame it on the Borg for not doing whatever it took to get Meier. But what if NJ, after getting Meier, loses even earlier than us? I wonder if that will lessen the criticism, or be completely ignored?

They know when to run and hide

I think the bigger question is, what if Meier pushes NJ above us in the standings, they win the Metro, and we face NYR in the first round

That's when things will get ugly within the fan base.

 

[chaz4hockey]

hopefully not....he's the type of player we need. Big, fast, tough.

Borg is on the clock....5 days to go and I hope they wrap things up in advance of the road trip.

Trouba will concuss somebody in game 1, our PP will be nonexistent, and Igor turns into his 2022 version of himself. We play well at home where we have 1st change but ultimately it isn’t enough.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

now we need to see Jeannots 22-23 and Bunting's 22-23. huge difference. Just a dumb comparison from Jfresh.

Also to ponder, what will the psyche be of our players in missing out on Meier and not getting anyone else that would move the needle?

Would be a tougher sell for Rod than even the Patches injury (which he and the team's leadership did a great job in keeping the morale up)

Looks like the Price was Wrong!!
Over paying for Timo is not a good idea.
