GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread Part XXXI

[bl02]

Names for a 2nd and McQuaid for 3rd OR vice versa. Would be happy with that and let the chips fall where they may with Hayes

 

[I Eat Crow]

I think we're seeing diminished returns because a lot of scouts really like the prospects in the top rounds this year.

 

[Lion Hound]

Commodore is saying Nyquist to SJ and Simmonds to Jets.

Got duped by a fake Twitter. Darren Oreger. Bastards!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah and at the very least, we are going to have 5 picks in the top 60.

If Tampa wins, it will be 5 in the top 45-50

Bastards! I just google the top "insiders" names, brings me right to their verified Twitter pages. Helps minimize that from happening.

Pittsburgh’s GM has said he won’t trade their first for a rental because they really like this years draft

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This years draft is weak outside of the first round

Or at least that’s the prevailing thought for now

 

[LORDE]

This years draft is weak outside of the first round

We don’t care about weak or strong we care about maximizing opportunities. We suck now and we suck next year... we need to come away with something from these drafts.

 

[Polar Bear]

Who the f*** knows. What I know for certain is that great talent can be found outside the first round.

 

[Bob Richards]

Wonder how similar his return would be to Montour's

Pionk might actually be a minor leaguer so I don't know how much value he'd have

 

[Thirty One]

Hope Simmonds goes to Tampa. Would love to be able to cheer for him.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Pionk might actually be a minor leaguer so I don't know how much value he'd have

Shhhh don’t let the other teams know that

 

[TheTakedown]

If Simmonds does go to tampa they would he a near lock to win the cup. That's an insane top 9

 

[DanielBrassard]

Pionk might actually be a minor leaguer so I don't know how much value he'd have

I think he'd have decent value. Ship him to Edmonton, they could use him.

 

[Lays]

This class is deeper than 2018 easily for me. I didn’t like it at first but it’s deep

 

[Kovalev27]

Pionk IS a minor leaguer

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Looks like Simmonds to Tampa

I'd rather have Richard or Gene Simmonds.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

I'd rather have Richard or Gene Simmonds.

I’ll raise you a JK Simmons

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Hope they do for obvious reasons but no team is a lock to win a cup with so many variables in the playoffs.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Ya mean we could actually pick a quality player if we don't pick top 3? Whew, I was told that it's all over for this franchise if we dont.

 

[Synergy27]

Quality, or elite? Plenty of quality available all over the draft, really, really hard to find elite talent without a top pick. Particularly for the team we all love.

 

[Polar Bear]

I mean sure it's harder, but far from impossible. Isn't the leading pint earner in the league a 3rd rounder?

2nd, and russian factor.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I'd rather have Richard or Gene Simmonds.

Gary? Chubby pickle

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Appears that Gorton is gonna string Hayes along to the 11th hour.

Stone may be holding him up a bit but there’s gotta be 3-4-5 teams very interested in Hayes.

I really think for whatever reason that was the highest ceiling he could get for Zucc

Feel really bad for Zucc. Has an electric start and gets a goal and a helper in his first game with them and then breaks his arm requiring surgery.

His first impression of the Stars facilities will be with the medical staff. Not exactly a positive “homecoming” I have absolutely no idea of the level of how Dallas treats their players but I can tell you for sure it’s probably not near the level of the Rangers. We’ve heard for years how the players talk about the Rangers being a bar-none level franchise.

What I’m getting at is not only does Zuccs injury (and Benns) hurt their chances of making and moving on in the playoffs, but it also could adversely effect his impression of the club as a whole and lower the chances of him resigning.

Or it could have the opposite effect who knows
