GDT: Official Trade Deadline 2025 Thread: Lets not Tuch our tails between our legs

Highly doubtful we see him in a game before next season, but man, the competition in this lineup is going to be fierce once camp roles around if we re-sign Gourde. Basically one top 9 spot between Goncalves, Geekie, Howard, and Chaffee.
 
I don't quite get the hesitancy in trading for depth. It would raise prices, I'm sure. If we're going for the cup, and a guy doesn't cost a first, or even a second, then what's the hold up? Go get your man.

It's basically this sketch.

Indeed, especially when the cost was a 5th.

At the same time I think JBB didn't want to go to crazy on depth having then to cut rookies that he probably wants to grow and have an even bigger impact next season (when IMO, will be the season where we'll truly be ALL IN)

We can clean things up in the offseason. We don't know where Isaac Howard or Conor Geekie will really be, or what deals could happen at the draft.

Jankowski has another year after this one too. Sure he’s cheap depth but at this point we have more than enough at forward.

Defense however, could use a boost

Jankowski is on his 5th NHL team in the last 5 years and has spent time in the AHL for the past 3 seasons prior to this one. Nothing against the guy but I don't think he brings a lot to the table or helps add to the identity. If anything, we should have just kept Eyssimont and found a way for the $ to work.

Eyssimont is not worth haggling over, if that's the player they wanted and got the deal done JBB doesn't need to spend time over it, its already an overpay no need to nickle and dime for a 4th liner.

I think the bar is so low for our 4th line someone like him looks like an upgrade. He probably would've been. But... sit there and enjoy Zemgus. :madfire:

True but it's ironic that we're now talking about a missing piece at the bottom of the lineup. Obviously a contract had to be moved, but in hindsight it would have been nice to somehow keep him in the mix with his improved recent play and overall energy. I think our lineup shows more balance and everything slots in a little bit better with him, vs Goncalves or a potentially revolving door of Atkinson/Geekie/Howard/Sheary etc.
