GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread II

[nevesis]

Will they make it in time to play tonight

Brassard and Moore should be. Flight is quick.

 

[Joey Bones]

“@jessespector: Brassard, Dorsett, and Moore for Gaborik? Dorsett is out for the season with a broken collarbone.â€

What?????!!!! And still no 1st!!!!!!!

 

[nevesis]

“@TSNBobMcKenzie: NYR trade Gaborik to CBJ for Brassard, John Moore, Dorsett and 6th round pick. #tradecentre”

 

[NewLife]

Add a meh player who's out for the season?

 

[Thumpz]

Dominoes coming down... there have to be more deals coming.

 

[abev]

John Moore IS the first.

 

[GAGLine]

We must be moving other players in separate deals then. Something else has to be going on.

 

[frankthefrowner]

boyle on his way out too?? Brassard would be 3c now?

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I don't understand guys. We got our 3rd line Center. We got a mobile quick skating Dman.

We got a gritty winger when he is healthy...

We fixed some issues..

Has to be.

Precursor.

 

[vstk]

Sounds...not so good.

You got the grinders you wanted for an underperfoming scorer.

 

[LeetchisGod]

They didn't have to trade Gaborik now. That return isn't a deal that you can't refuse. I'm not a happy camper.

Brassard is the centerpiece. Not Dorsett. But they're all decent returns... This is not a bad trade. Should have gotten a better pick than a 6th, but its still not bad considering. Gabby wasn't fetching anything more than what we just got.

It helps our center depth; we now have a legit 3C. It gives us a very solid and very young 6th dman. And it gives us an NHL-ready, gritty RW'er (who is out for the season, granted, but will be fine next season). These are all the things people wanted. What is everyone complaining about? Its not THAT bad.

Not to mention the oldest one of them is 26!! WTF with the freaking out?

I agree. Brassard can be a 2c IMO. Moore still has a lot of upside.

We're the worst offensive team in the league.

we traded a 40 goal scorer.

I agree man. ****ing sucks.

“@stevezipay: Derick Brassard is a center, Dorsett a tough guy, Moore a young, good skating D. But betting Gaborik will have 30-40 goals next yr for CBJâ€

Agree. This is a move that can fill a lot of holes. Like Dorsett too, however is injured. I think Brassard will make for an excellent 3rd line center. Boyle will be moved to 4th and pk. Yesterday grit was added. And there is still time to add a depth d-man.

[nevesis]

Maybe there were problems in the locker room?

 

[Richter Scale]

We're the worst offensive team in the league.

we traded a 40 goal scorer.

A 40 goal scorer who was struggling this year. Who is as one dimensional as they come. And who does nothing to produce offense when he isn't scoring goals. Completely reliant on the players around him. This is not the end of the world. The two forwards they got back in the trade + the upgrade to Clowe will more than make up for the lost 40 goals in terms of offensive production. And makes the team less top-heavy, gives pretty solid depth, fills in holes, and makes us much less easy to shut down in the playoffs. Give me a break with the chicken little, sky is falling crap.

52 contracts, right? This can't be all.
