GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXXI

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

So, if past deadlines are any indication, we’ll see a move around 10:30, another one or two just before noon, one or two more from 12:00-1:00, and then the craziness starts 1:00-3:00, with some minor deals trickling in after the fact 3:00-4:00. Sound about right?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

If they were to trade Kreider, now is not the time. This is one of the most buyer-friendly deadlines in some time. Everybody is getting underwhelming returns.

.......for rentals

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

That’s because two years ago NHL net wasn’t under the NBC Sports umbrella yet.

I don't know enough about WPG's needs. Maybe to get the convo rolling Chytil and Buchnevich.....obviously we would need to add.

 

[Tawnos]

That’s because two years ago NHL net wasn’t under the NBC Sports umbrella yet.

That’s not actually true. The NHL holds the controlling stake, and NBC has held a minority stake the entire time its existed.

And even beyond that, it’s managed by MLBAM anyway.

 

[RangerBoy]

TSN programming is barely shown on the NHL Network anymore. Ever since the NHL Network hooked up with MLB Network, they have shown the Sportsnet feed for the trade deadline and the draft.

No McKenzie or Dreger on the NHL Network.

Elliotte Friedman and Chris Johnston are their insiders.

The NHL has Sportsnet for NHL draft coverage in Canada.

The TSN guys do a draft show on NBCSN.

The NHL Network shows some TSN draft preview stuff. That’s it.

.......for rentals

An extra year of control isn't going to make it a seller's market

Considering you'd get him for 2 playoff runs yeah it absolutely would.

 

[Off Sides]

If they were to trade Kreider, now is not the time. This is one of the most buyer-friendly deadlines in some time. Everybody is getting underwhelming returns.

What if next deadline is similar or worse for the sellers?

If Kreider is not traded, and the Rangers are thinking extension, it's going to be interesting to see what Skinner, Nyquist get versus what Panarin, Stone get as UFAs, as Kreider's comps are going to be somewhere in there.

It is the transition to MLBAM that was the difference, you’re right. Oh well. Turned off NHLN and signed up for an ESPN+ trial. In the end I don’t care as long as I can find a legit way to watch at high quality.

 

[LORDE]

You can look up when they moved them under the umbrella. They probably had a deal w TSN to air the deadline two years ago, but once they were migrated under the NBC Sports umbrella those deals we’re never discussed w affiliated entities

 

[Lays]

The Rangers should offer a massive package for Laine if he's actually available.

I’d hope not

I stand corrected

 

[RGY]

We should be in on Laine

 

[NYR Viper]

 

[Machinehead]

That changes his value, it doesn't change the market.

What if next deadline is similar or worse for the sellers?

I don't think it would be because the next draft isn't supposed to be as broken as this one. That's really why nobody is paying.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Hayes + Kreider + Pionk for Laine + 2019 1st what else to we add lolol

 

[darko]

What does that have to do with them currently supposedly not having a plan (which they do, ya'll just not paying that close attention)?

I didn't say Rangers didn't have a plan. Like Knicks the Rangers are also playing kids.

Chytil and Buch

 

[Off Sides]

I don't think it would be because the next draft isn't supposed to be as broken as this one. That's really why nobody is paying.

While that may be part of it, maybe also teams are just shifting towards keeping their 1sts at the deadlines for rentals?

 

[RGY]

 

[darko]

It'd take a ridiculous package to land him.

 

[Machinehead]

Would have to be Kreider +

My conscience: "Don't say it. Don't you say it."

The ghost of silverfish, sitting on my opposite shoulder: "you know it's true."

My conscience: "Don't do this."

silverfish: "Say it."

Kreider is a better hockey player.

Send Dallas Names to remove conditions

A third line guy to convert a second and a third into two guaranteed firsts?

 

[Larrybiv]

Came here to ask that same question I want Hayes.

So now, Avs fans want back in?

Send Dallas Names to remove conditions

If only they would. I would even retain half.
