GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXX

woof

 

[nevesis]

What a goddamn joke Gorton, WE RETAIN 25% of his cap hit/salary??

Unreal.

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

Dallas ain’t getting past the 2nd round, and Zucc is likely not going to re-sign there. This was not a good trade. Sorry if people disagree with me.

I mean, look, right now I'm like "why the f*** is Dallas even buying" but Im just saying that would be pretty nuts.

 

[egelband]

Gotta try to stay positive my man.

For sure. It is what it is. But I think neither condition gets met. Who knows. Maybe Zucc re-signs. But if I’m Dallas and I know re-signing a guy means I lose my first as well, it probably becomes prohibitive. But it’s still good to stockpile picks. And Zucc in the end was probably not a guy long for a rebuild.
Hayes, on the other hand is young enough to theoretically be useful as the team rebuilds. They need to get much more for him.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

HEY EVERYONE REMINDER

All the insiders have said the whole time Zucc gets a 2nd +. This is that with the potential for being more.

Step back from the god damn ledge and learn to temper your expectations.

Don’t tell me what to do

 

[EpicDing]

Retention is meaningless for us. Not a big deal

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Not to be a Debbie downer and obviously things can change but I’d wager that Dallas isn’t too keen on re-signing Zucc if they’re comfortable swapping a 3rd to a potential 1st

If the 3rd was going to turn into a 2nd rounder I would say they’re more confident in wanting to keep him long term

 

[ZiGOODejad]

This guy out here trying to make sure they have cap to try and beef up for these two playoff rounds they’re gunna win LOL

 

[Machinehead]

He expires in June. We could have retained 99% of it for all I care.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Rapidly losing faith in gorton. He's like espo post labotomy.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Dallas allowed those conditions because they know they won’t meet either of them

 

[Machinehead]

At least this time we didn't just throw in a player with value to not get that much more anyway!

 

[NYRKING30]

Their owner wants to win. Zucc could very well resign in Dallas. Step away from the ledge people. I’m not surprised considering probably the same group expected Sergachev+++ last year.

 

[NYR_32]

What a goddamn joke Gorton, WE RETAIN 25% of his cap hit/salary??

Unreal.

Who cares. He's a UFA, it's not like it affects us any way moving forward. At all.

 

[nevesis]

 

[effen]

Bob et al for weeks: Zucc worth 2nd +
This board lately: Gurianov, Robertson, Hanzal, a 100-pack of freezer pops, a 1st in 2021, and a Cheryl Tiegs poster
Bob et al: Confirmed Zucc goes for a 2nd +
This board now: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

what are you guys doing lol

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

We’re retaining too. Embarrassing. Too bad we didn’t include Chytil or Kravstov to sweeten the deal. Maybe then we could have made another condition: we get their 7th if Zuke finishes his plate at Lockhart Smokehouse

Yeah, really wasting that cap space....................................

Dallas is a team who’s publicly facing a lot of pressure to contend from their ownership, do you think Nill would care about a first round pick when he’s trying to get to the playoffs to keep his job?

 

[nevesis]

 

[Savant]

Correct. Someone gets it

 

[BBKers]

Brassard to Dallas incoming. Small retention on Brass. Presumably Nish plus a mid pick going the other way

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Have you ever been happy?

 

[Hire Sather]

Who cares. He's a UFA, it's not like it affects us any way moving forward. At all.

The idea is that retaining salary should increase the return.

 

[egelband]

We have put up with enough of your Shenanigans. Go to the Dallas board and troll now. This ends here. Now

Ahhh. @Webster is fine. Go easy on him, Ward
