Confirmed with Link: Granlund + Ceci to DAL

[Satan]

f***, what is everyone using these days now that cap friendly is gone?

@BG44’s spreadsheet

 

[Smelling Salt]

The only way I approve this trade is if that means Miro's prognosis is decent. If it's not, I hope to god Nill has something else up his sleeve cause like everyone else here, I think a 1st seems wasted in this trade

 

[Kcb12345]

So just how much LTIR space can one use? Could we technically put Miro on LTIR?

Jesus. The sites left are either so busy and such a mess (Puckpedia) or cheap imitations of CapFriendly that fall short (Capwages). No hate to either of them because it seems like they're trying, but I will hate the Capitals until the end of time for taking away CapFriendly.

There’s hope

What I don’t like about this is the fact that if we want to bring in an impact player now, we will need to give up one of Mav or Stank. No way Bichsel moves at this point and without a first, we don’t have much of value that we can move. But if Nil won’t consider anyone with term because of the cap, how can he justify moving cost controlled assets like Mav and Stank?

Ugh just win the cup and none of this matters…

Still have most of our draft picks next year and a few guys like Hemming, Stranges, Blumel who may have some value.

Don't think we will be doing any big-game shopping though, although I really do hope Nill tries for another top 4 dman.

it really sucks the Stars finally get handed the LTIR mystery box and they come away with a new toaster.

 

[dalness]

If there's another trade in the work I guess we have to either move like Dumba or "Mark Stone" Miro (or do both) even if he could be available earlier?

 

[serp]

They aren't doing anything else until the deadline imho. This is now the team for a bit

 

[maltrophstitan]

Where are we thinking these players slot into the line-up?

 

[jballa95]

Well... hopefully Ceci is the "temporary" solution to the Heiskanen injury and not the permanent RHD solution for the playoffs. Last night clearly showed that they can't roll with Capobianco and Dumba as a bottom pair while they wait for Miro to come back.

Top 9 Center and #6 on defense in the place they had to use Capobianco on.

 

[The Tourist]

I like the moves as long as Nill isn't finished. Bush has been fine but we don't need Ceci and Dumba both on the roster at that price. Dumba still needs to be moved.

 

[Henderson33]

The value is more than fair, but like has been mentioned, the first rounder would have been a big asset to improve the D.

If Nill can still go out and do that this trade doesn't bother me at all.

 

[eartotheground]

we're lacking in wishlist lines. someone post something so we can bitch that pdb does something different

 

[Elysian]

Anyone have Bruce's take on Ceci?

 

[jballa95]

Guess: "Nill is a god. Wow what a highway robbery."

Reality:

 

[Troy McClure]

we're lacking in wishlist lines. someone post something so we can bitch that pdb does something different

Robertson - Hintz - Johnston
Bourque - Duchene - Marchment
Benn - Granlund - Stankoven
Dadonov - Back - Steel
Blackwell

Harley - Ceci
Lindell - Lybushkin
Bichsel - Dumba
Smith

Had to make a couple of choices that will anger people.

 

[The Tourist]

Former 1st round pick, Miro 2.0

 

[Arkham32]

I don’t mind the trade ceci was a throw in we needed a body and he was solid for the oilers last year in the playoffs. Granlund has been almost a ppg the past two years helps give us the deepest top 9 in the nhl. Wouldn’t mind a top 4 dman but what options other than hypotheticals are out there?

 

[Kcb12345]

Still think this team needs another goal scorer, but can't see us adding another top 6 forward

Granlund is a great playmaker though so should be able to hopefully help drive up the goal totals for some other guys

 

[piqued]

I like Granlund and am glad to have him, but it is more of the same. If we win it's going to be because we out-soft and out-finesse everyone.

The top priority remains finding ways to keep Matt Dumba and whoever from the AHL off the ice.

 

[Arkham32]

Even if we wanted to add grit that should be extremely cheap. It’s not like it’s a sellers market for bottom 6 forwards with size there will be plenty available at the deadline.
