GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXX2

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Getting nothing for McQuaid would be disheartening

We got the luxury of giving up picks to get McQuaid

 

[Tawnos]

Good question. No.

Answer was obvious enough to make the question rhetorical.

(I hope you know I’m just kidding around. I’m sure you do, but this kind of thing doesn’t always translate in text)

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Staal was Sather. Smith got fat and fooled all of us. Stepan trade was a heist.

I agree ADA and Lias are core pieces for us... I just threw out the first trades that came to mind

 

[NYR Viper]

Stone?

That's another team who has a 2-3 year window. Moving prime assets for (1) year is silly. There have been rumors of Brannstrom being on the table. For him, I'd consider moving Kreider who has (2) playoff runs

 

[Bob Richards]

McQuaid for a 2019 conditional 3rd if he re-signs. Becomes a 2019 3rd if his team wins a round and he does or doesn't play. Becomes a 2019 3rd if he is injured in his 1st game.

Startling lack of 7th round picks in this

 

[Machinehead]

McQuaid for a 2019 conditional 3rd if he re-signs. Becomes a 2019 3rd if his team wins a round and he does or doesn't play. Becomes a 2019 3rd if he is injured in his 1st game.

Becomes a 2019 1st if he loses 21 pounds.

Would anyone consider giving Brassard a year show-me deal this off-season?

absolutely. free asset that you flip later at the cost of someone not ready getting their head pounded in on the second line the first 50 games of the season.

 

[Trxjw]

Been eerily quiet on Kreider today aside from the bantering here.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Also, to what end? I think the 2022/2023 for true contention thrown out a page or so back is accurate. So giving term to a 26 year old this summer is pointless.

This is gonna sting for a bit.

People still seem to have their own interpretation of this rebuild, as opposed to what’s actually happening. Whereas, Gorton all along continues to follow what was laid out in the letter.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Anyone hoping we're going to be competitive next year is probably going to be sorely disappointed

 

[Thirty One]

Would anyone consider giving Brassard a year show-me deal this off-season?

I would consider almost anyone willing to take a 1 year deal.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Get me Colin Miller. C’mon Gorts!

 

[Fitzy]

Anyone hoping we're going to be competitive next year is probably going to be sorely disappointed

Yeah unless Shesty's 95% save percentage translates flawlessly to the NHL, we're not gonna be good next year.

 

[NYR Viper]

Are they going to have ANY picks left?

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

 

[Machinehead]

Get me Colin Miller. C’mon Gorts!

Oh great, another offensive defenseman with good possession metrics that people can blame all our problems on.

 

[Wind Waker]

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

About time

 

[Tawnos]

Anyone hoping we're going to be competitive next year is probably going to be sorely disappointed

To me, two things would have to happen... Shesterkin would have to have a Lundqvist-like rookie year... Kravtsov would have to have a Pettersson-like rookie year.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Rangers will have a few hired guns next year on 1 year contracts. More ammo for the next trade deadline.

 

[NYR Viper]

Oh great, another offensive defenseman with good possession metrics that people can blame all our problems on.

I'd LOVE Miller. I would've grabbed him when he was in Boston as well.

[Jaromir Jagr]

To me, two things would have to happen... Shesterkin would have to have a Lundqvist-like rookie year... Kravtsov would have to have a Pettersson-like rookie year.

Pretty much. You'd need a repeat of the Lundqvist-Jagr shock.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Has to be a third round pick from Columbus

 

[DanielBrassard]

Goodbye McQuaid, thanks for well, nothing.

 

[E-Train]

Better be a 3rd & 2020 7th.

 

[Machinehead]

Congrats to Columbus on their 1st round championship.

We better not put any win conditions on that f***ing garbage team.
