GDT: Official Trade Deadline 2025 Thread: Lets not Tuch our tails between our legs
- Thread starter Point21
- Start date
Nothing is going to happen until TDL day, correct? Isnt that due to JBB having to wait the full length of time to accrue cap?
1. Top 6 RH winger
2. Secondary scoring
3. Long term top 4 RHD
Everything should be available
He doesn't get all ~7m if he makes a deal before then, but he's already built up quite a bit.

Very possible. we currently have 5.6m in cap to use. if we wait until the 7th we will have 6.05m in cap to use. not sure the 400k extra will make any difference if the cost of getting someone now is cheaper than waiting until last minute when prices are sky high or starting to plummet
Just based off names that have been mentioned, I'd think this would be a solid deadline:
Guentzel - Point - Kucherov
Hagel - Cirelli - Tuch
Gourde - Paul - Tanev
XXXXX - XXXXX - XXXXX
Not sure if we can make Gourde work under the cap though.

If McDavid is available, I would definitely try for him.

This is going to be controversial, but I think that Bedard would fit in better long term.

If we are in win now it's gotta be MacKinnon because he's the best player in the world and eats healthy
I would call Utah up again. First ask would be Schmaltz who would be that 2RW. More a pass first winger but has scored 20+ the past 3 seasons, with another year left after this one. Makes more than Tuch with a 5.85 AAV but the thing that might make him available is he makes 8.5 in cash next year and Utah might want to free that up. Would need to be a 1st + offer similar to Tuch and they probably won't retain on that but maybe 25% if we pay up enough.
A more logical, cheaper and provide more depth option would be Blujstad and Cole. Blujstad is a RH shot, not for 2RW but 3RW, and Cole we already know and gives the bottom pair a vet presence. Would need Cole 50% retained, probably double retained so he comes in at 775k while Blujstad is 2M. Think we can do it for one of the 2nd's + 4th, maybe throw in a Hay/Harvey unsigned prospect as well. Would add a 3rd if really needed to to seal the deal but would want like a 5th back.
The 3rd line would look good with Goncalves- Paul - Blujstad and 4th like is stronger with Chaffee dropped down. Still need a 2RW but would have close to 3M left, a 1st, Geekie, Howard and Gauthier. But we would be much stronger in the bottom 6 and 3rd pair.

If he holds onto Cole and Blujstad then that's just dumb. Schmaltz sure i can see and like i said would need to pay a lot for but I don't think he was talking about 30+ UFA's.

We could always go cheaper and just get Jagr and Sustr. He's scored a lot of points over the years and Sustr can be acquired for free.
Still need a 2RW but we would have close to 6M, a 1st, Geekie, Sheary, and Labrie. But we would have a much wiser and older bottom six and bottom pair.
I have a feeling NYI is gonna hold more pieces than they should. Lou gon' Lou.
If we're bringing in Sustr do we need Cernak anymore? And I know Jagr usually plays wing but try him at 2C and we can trade Cirelli and Cernak for Tuch and make Buffalo fans happy for once.

Thats true. Dotchin would probably be an upgrade, so we should check what McDonalds hes hanging out at and bring him back. Trade Perbix to Anaheim for a 7th, cap savings you know. Then call Utah again to say we don't need their players we got bargain buys elsewhere, suck our nuts. Plan?
Screw Dotchin, Brian Lee is still out there and in better shape let's bring him back. Agree on trading Perbix to Anaheim, good call.
