cody glass fetches a 3rd. last time he was traded nashville paid a 3rd to unload him. at that rate of improvement could he overhaul ep40 in a tortoise and hare trade value derby in a couple of years?

 

[Ernie]

Wonder if this shifts Boeser's ask.

They are in no way comparable.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

They've taken huge swings two years in a row, I think they're definitely "going for it," they just don't seem ready to fully commit if it means losing any amount of value.

I'm not saying it's disaster trade, I'm saying it's a clear step backwards for their goal to compete this year.

Oh they're definitely going for it, but when I say on the clock I mean their window is not closing anytime soon - trading for Stankoven just ensures it stays open (And you now have ammo for if another star were to become available, except this time hopefully with some term for their sake)

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I wish Tom Gaglardi was our owner

I wish I married Kate Upton and had the respect of my peers, but we get what we get.

 

[PG Canuck]

Hard not to want to be a Stars fan. They do everything right.

 

[krutovsdonut]

I wish Tom Gaglardi was our owner

not as much as tom does.

 

[Icebreakers]

How are they late in their window lmao Brent Burns is 39, sure, but have you seen the prospects they got ready to come in? They're going to be just fine, they're not even remotely on the clock

Agreed. Their window is very much open.

Jarvis 23
Stankoven 23
Aho 27
Svechnikov 24
Blake 21
Kotkaniemi 24
Roslovic 27

They have top prospects coming in

Morrow 22
Nikishin 23 (top 3 prospect not in nhl)
Nadeau 19


In fact, they are only really going to lose

Burns
Staal

and Orlov in the next 2-3 years.

All can be replaced with all of the draft picks they have in the next 3 years.

 

[Big zZz]

Cowards.

 

[arttk]

Hard not to want to be a Stars fan. They do everything right.

oh it's easy not to be a Stars fan, they are based in f***ing TEXAS

 

[Phrasing]

Going to laugh when Allvin comes out and says blah blah buyers market blah blah stay competitive and keep their free agents. Hopefully I’m sorely wrong.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I wish I married Kate Upton and had the respect of my peers, but we get what we get.

I think Kate Upton is more realistic.

 

[wetcoast]

Jeez ignore list blowing up today with all the crybabies here

Joe sakic seems to be day drinking last 2 days, huge over payment for his 2 major pickups.

 

[bandwagonesque]

The cold embrace of a Canucks trade deadline

 

[Knight53]

Aquilini is 56 years old.

Life expectancy for men is 80 years old

Its over.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

This is beautiful on so many levels.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

wow, they seriously not going to do something? thats a benning type of failure. either sell or buy.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Gotta do something

 

[JT Milker]

Agreed. Their window is very much open.

Jarvis 23
Stankoven 23
Aho 27
Svechnikov 24

That’s a lot of middling/soft/small players.

 

[pitseleh]

So many armchair GMs who refuse to acknowledge the reality that players are human beings who care about winning and that playoff revenue matters if you want to keep being a cap team.

Just a bunch of whining of how we possibly could do nothing and refusing to acknowledge the above realities.

People have played EA sports games more than they’ve worked for real companies with real-life people.

I don’t really buy the playoff revenue argument. Functionally there’s no difference between selling and refusing to buy - you’re just trading an actual cost for an opportunity cost. It’s not like the team as currently constructed is at some magical level of competitiveness such that they are maximizing their odds of making it.

The psychology piece, yeah I get that.

 

[credulous]

They've taken huge swings two years in a row, I think they're definitely "going for it," they just don't seem ready to fully commit if it means losing any amount of value.

I'm not saying it's disaster trade, I'm saying it's a clear step backwards for their goal to compete this year.

necas to stankoven isn't a gigantic drop off and they have 2 firsts to use to add still. let's see what they do

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

wow, they seriously not going to do something? thats a benning type of failure. either sell or buy.

To no one surprised

Franky can’t look beyond this season

 

[drax0s]

Aquilini is 56 years old.

Life expectancy for men is 80 years old

Was a lot of chatter ages ago about Frankie wanting to win for his father who's currently ~92 apparently.

 

[ExarKun80]

 

[just22]

Ok if you’re keeping your self rentals at least add someone to help the playoff push

 

[valkynax]

They've postured themselves to trade Boeser, and couldn't get it done. Now they're backed into a corner.

Well, at least Metey trade was done early and improved our defense. But our forward depth has not been addressed. Going into playoffs, if we even make it, with this line up we're gonna get slaughtered without mercy.
