GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread II

[NYR Viper]

3PM EST today.

Important to note trades slowly come in a bit after 3pm as well. Takes time for them to be announced but they are sent in prior to 3pm.

I agree with you. Very similar game and very similar talents. I don't think he has 90 point offensive upside, but I think he could be a fantastic 2nd line center who can play in any situation.

We both liked him in 2010. Getting him, putting him behind Stepan would make me feel very good about the center position, and not so concerned about buying out Richards.

 

[Trxjw]

I don't think the Rangers are one of them.

Agreed. Love Stafford when he's on his game, but his inconsistencies are maddening. He'll go 10 or 15 games where it seems like everytime he's on the ice he's going to score. Then 20 games of nothing. We already have Gaborik for that.

Would the Rangers wanna take white and or KQ off our hands for picks lol.

anyone have a TSN stream?

Yeah I remember us both being fans leading up to the draft. Agreed on all points.

What happened to Glencross?

He's a LW, and so is Clowe. I don't see us acquiring another LW, today.

Would take White, Quincey no. Too much salary for next season.

Thank you.
Needs to be enforced. Bugs me to no end.

Has he hit 30 pts in a season yet?
I understand the fascination with this kid, drafted 8th overall, decent size and good skills, but I'm sure the Jets would want a big piece of our future, and I don't think its worth it for a guy that has brought more sizzle than steak to far in his young career. I don't like my steak raw, medium is MY taste.

You know it's a slow day when they're debating who had the better water bottle popping goal

Players like Burmistrov are not available very often as they enter their prime. 50-60 point 2-way centers are hard to come by. I would rather grab a raw steak and let it marinate in my fridge than try to overpay for a marinated steak that is 3x the cost.

Steak analogies are making me hungry. We need a trade to distract us.

There are plenty of kids from that draft year who haven't even played a single NHL game, let alone hit 30 points. He's developing as a player and would be an upgrade immediately as a #3 center on this team.

The whole point of discussing him was under the premise of moving Gaborik to acquire him in a package deal.

You're projecting what he can be, which I guess is easy to do, and he may eventually get there. My only concern is that he's in his 3rd year on the team that drafted him and he's supposedly on the market? Big RED flag for me.
That's all I have to say on this. I respect your opinion and we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

 

[Kwayry]

Pyatt for White?

 

[Pizza]

Have the Gabby rumors pretty much dried up, or is that something people are still hearing about out there?

 

[RangerBoy]

Yandle price is steep. Two impact forwards, including someone who can be No.1 centre. Not getting traded unless offer PHO can't refuse.

Good luck Donnie.

Sounds like they're after Boyle and Pyatt.

As of yesterday, there was nothing going on with Gaborik according to the insiders. I'd imagine that means he's not going anywhere

Does "insiders" just mean Larry Brooks cuz he also wrote about how the Rangers wouldn't make any moves for Clowe

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Stuck in class till 1:30. Even now, I can't observe a free trade deadline day.

Trade deadline day: Giving me an excuse not to look for jobs.

Somebody do something!

Even Strang was pimping the idea that the team would only make minor moves early on in the day. Certainly missed that one.

 

[NYR Viper]

Yeah I am being less than useful today at work. And yet nothing is happening.....
