GDT: NHL Trade Deadline - Friday, March 7 @ 3PM

[Beerz]

He's covering both the Rangers and Isles - very plugged into the NYC teams.

Athletic?

 

[Chainshot]

Athletic?

Yes that's where he's at.

 

[OkimLom]

Laf is not a very good player to be worth ONE of Tuch or Peterka let alone both. Man, what a stinker.

They did say “and what”…after Laf

He does but the rags are the priority.

For both. They want both for Laf and something else. They don't have that sort of piece.

 

[SundherDome]

Jokiharju, Zucker if they can’t get them extended, possibly NAK and Lafferty.

Throw Bryson in the heap as well, he can be someone's Ruhwedel

 

[ValJamesDuex]

A big one (not us) Brock Nelson to the Avs

 

[SundherDome]

Sigh of relief?

I had so much hope and he goes and takes it from me ...sigh

 

[zenthusiast]

I’d rather keep Peterka. He’ll never be The Guy but as a third/fourth best forward I think you could do a lot worse

 

[truthbluth]

I just wanted to feel…something

 

[toddkaz]

Is Adams the only GM not to make a move outside of the organization? Maybe tomorrow. Adams is already in bed counting sheep.

Tough day for him tomorrow.

 

[Chainshot]

Dread. That's all.

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

He is second Guy now in points

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Updated: Rantanen to Dallas with extension. Return pending.

 

[Fjordsen]

Peterka in Rangers? Doesn't seem to make sense, although there are interesting parts there.

 

[Chainshot]

Still laughing at the "Tuch and Peterka for Laf and..." thing. FFS.

Who said this nonsense?

Someone on Twitter - I literally woke up, laughed and then got out of bed.

 

[OkimLom]

For both. They want both for Laf and something else. They don't have that sort of piece.

I read the “what” as more than one piece, but you initially said they were asking Laf for Tuch and Peterka together, which is what I disagreed with.

I think the Rangers could build a package for both guys, I do agree with you they probably don’t have the piece to do a 2 for 2 deal to go with Laf unless they are parting with another core piece which I don’t think either Peterka or Tuch are worth.

Chad D said that he heard there was nothing there, too.

He seemed to think that Jokiharju for a 4th is about all that he expects to happen today with Zucker a 60% chance of staying beyond the deadline. The injury and the Sabres hoping to extend him are both factors.

Does Chad have any sources in the Sabres? At least Lance probably hears more.

Yeah sounds about right

 

[Jim Bob]

Of all the talking heads, I think Chad usually has the most insight into conversations that have happened.

But, it's hard to know given that most things are talk about things that don't happen. And there is next to no way to verify that kind of stuff unless Adams is really transparent like when Murray blocked the trade from Ottawa to Buffalo.

 

[Beerz]

I don't know if Lance has sources. He doesn't normally put rumors out there.. in fact this is the only one I can remember which makes me think it was a purposeful leak by Sabres for some reason.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Khusnutdinov to the Bruins sucks. I liked him as a prospect. He’s got potential to be another middle 6 200 foot center for Boston.
