Fascinating article about how things are handled behind the scenes at the trade deadline (paywall):

2019 who pays for material anymore? smh

You say that now but try a free preview...it really does offer a lot of inside stuff you don’t get from the traditional media anymore, especially now as more and more of the best writers are going there while traditional media is downsizing and turning into blog central.

And yes it was a good article about the process for lack of a better word, Jarmo’s quote about not wanting to start super high while the other guy starts super low and three months later you meet in the middle you both already know exists is revealing about his personality.

Yeah, you don't want to be known as the guy who low-balls everyone. It's nice to know how they care about their players and don't want to go trading guys willy-nilly too. I think too many fans forget that aspect.

Wow, if NJ picks him up that will free up Stafford for a trade. I'm sure Shero is deciding between which lottery pick to accept for him.

That’s gotta be tough to have this stuff get out on social media before the player or his family know what’s going on.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Let the dominos fall!

 

[AfroThunder396]

Good to see pieces moving now, if the other forward options keep flying off the shelf someone might get desperate for Mojo

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

People actually think Donato is good and has 50pt potential

Man oh man Fenton has been brutal so far for Minnesota

 

[AfroThunder396]

ROFL last week MIN fans were saying they wanted Bratt or Wood in exchange for Coyle

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

If Fenton is this bad with his first few trades, call about Granlund...

Put in a claim Ray.

I'd rather have Brouwer. Although he's probably going to be a big part of FLA's late season push.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Not as bad as that Nino/Rask abomination, but Fenton is an undisputed 0-for-2 with trades so far.

Donato will be a player, but he’s not good enough to be the only piece of substance coming back for Coyle. That’s a bad deal.

For some reason, I already thought they waived him.

As a neutral fan, that Boston/Toronto first round matchup is gonna be fun if only because there's gonna be one salty fan base afterwards.

Hearing Charlie Coyle pronounced in a New England accent is going to get old.

Hearing anything pronounced in a Boston accent gets old.

Exactly. I like me some Charlie Coyle - if Donato was the only return, that's a pretty decent steal of a 23 year old big-bodied guy who can skate and maybe put up 40-50 points.
