Best and worst deadline acquisitions so far?

[gary559]

What do you guys think?

 

[jgimp]

Worst. Brock Nelson. Good player but seems like a waste for the cost of acquisition especially for one round.
Colorado will probably regret it in the long run.

 

[Turin]

The fact that the Pens got two 2nds+ for Schenn and Beauvillier is tidy work. They both stink.

 

[M88K]

Nelson was always the buyer beware option and he proved it. The fact he got what he got... Good for NY.

 

[BlueDream]

Luke Schenn has been brutal.

And for that matter, I haven’t noticed Brandon Tanev at all.

 

[MessierII]

Jake Walman is #2 after Rantanen.

 

[KaprizovSaveUs]

Colorado really botched this deadline

 

[Miro4Norris]

5 difference makers:
1. Rantanen
2. Rantanen not playing on a other side
3. Walman
4. Granlund
5. Marchand

HM: Taylor Hall

 

[roccerfeller]

Rantanen had to be easily the best

Should take all 5 spots

 

[BigBrown]

Kuzmenko was good value for a 3rd round pick. 17 points in 22 games in the regular season, plus 3 goals and 6 points in 6 playoff games. Assuming you can call any rental a good acquisition when the team is eliminated in the first round, not entirely sure.

 

[Kiekura]

Rantanen easily best

Granlund and Marchand has been really good

Taylor Hall also been good

I hate Dubas but I have to give him credit for cashing out in this year's buyer's market. Those trades especially were insane.

HM: Taylor Hall

Marchand over Granlund for me, he upgraded 3rd line into 2B line and has been more consistant. I like Granlund too, he is underappreciated warrior.

 

[banks]

Carlo for the Leafs had been a great pickup. He rounded out the defence perfectly.

 

[Hull Fan]

Hard to get mad at any of the Stars moves.

Rantanen...enough said.

Granlund has added speed and a fantastic shot to make that Finnish line special.

Ceci, solid steady, no flair, no fluff, but you're not worried when he's out there. Filled a gapping hole in the defense while Miro's been gone.

A+ Jim Nill.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

To the surprise of zero Bruins fans, Brad Marchand has been a fantastic pickup for the Panthers.

 

[BonMorrison]

Carlo has been fine, exactly what B's fans have said he would be pretty much.

Laughton has been also fine, I think he is better than the 4C role they've given him and has more to give though.

 

[GreeningOil]

Jake Walman is #2 after Rantanen.

He has been a bright spot for sure. I don’t think the Oil would be where they are now without him.

Deadline acquisitions have been huge for Dallas. Rantanen is on a mission

Beauvillier has been great for the Caps. Win/win.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Best: Rantanen

Worst: Tanev

 

[Hollowmoon]

Rants IS best, AINEC. Dude is leading playoff points and is in Conn talks.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Marchand over Granlund for me, he upgraded 3rd line into 2B line and has been more consistant. I like Granlund too, he is underappreciated warrior.

Yeah could be. But Florida’s 3rd line was very good last year too, Lundell was one of the FLA’s best scorers with 17pts in a very defensive role

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Brandon Tanev is so bad.
