GDT: Official Trade Deadline Thread (please read the stickied post)

I hashed this argument out yesterday, so I won't re-litigate it. But I find this desire for eternal mediocrity confounding.

I think going the way of Tampa Bay instead of those other franchises is the way to go. They were in the mix always except for two hit and runs at the top of the draft with Stamkos and Hedman (Drouin came from the lockout year which was all screwed up) and then built their team without having to consistently purposely bottom out.

We should be more like them instead of Edmonton, Buffalo and Arizona.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Nashville and Winnipeg would be for sure. Who else? Calgary? Dallas?

Dark horse? Carolina.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Fabbro, Tolvanen, this year’s 1st and a conditional 2nd that becomes a 1st?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Calgary and Nashville.

Maybe Dallas too.

Hayes+Zuccarello

for

Fabbro+Tolvanen+1st

 

[Lays]

I gotta good feeling we get a trade today

 

[duhmetreE]

You need to be "lucky" enough (have good enough scouts) to land some of the guys like Johnson, Kucherov, Point, etc

I am soooo all over this...

Love it. Great value. Fabbro is a stud. Still have faith in Tolvanen. Add a 3rd rounder from our side if needed

I think Zucc gets done in the next few hours

Agree, and sooner the better......for Zuccha, everyone here (except you know who), Gorton and the Rangers. Giving time time, and allowing time for the still impending moves around the league that changes those impending moves.

Meaning, say Zuccha goes to Calgary.....doesn't that push things a little further with teams they are competing with?
When the PRICE is known for Zuccha, doesnt that change things a little? Wow, this is pretty cool when you think things are going the Rangers way for a change. Also knowing there is still the possibility of him coming back, whether Fluffier wants that or not. Lol. Personally, I would want what Zuccha wants, for him. But, we all know you can't always get what you want. Right?

We haven't even bottomed out once. The point of trading Zucc and Hayes is to actually try to do that this year. I don't get your point. You want to have your cake and eat it too. We are not getting a Stamkos or Hedman level in the draft if we keep all of these guys.

 

[Kocur Dill]

Duchene to CBL was the best senerio for us going into the TDL. Took him and Panerin off the market in one move.

Made Hayes and Zucc much more desirable.

 

[Gardner McKay]

@Faceless @JT Kreider If you want to talk about the direction of our franchise, do it in the other thread please.

Potentially having four first round picks after having three the year prior is making me rip my jeans in my groin region

 

[Hire Sather]

We won't get a big peice. Not even going to get my hopes up after the McDonagh/Miller dissapointmedi

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m not sure fabbro’s offense translates as well to the nhl but I think he’d be a real solid two way righty dman to put behind DeAngelo. I think DeAngelo is a top pairing guy next year really do. Another year older more mature he’ll be there all day.

 

[ThirdEye]

Would be really risky for Nashville to empty their cupboard for two UFA's when there is a team as good as Tampa that, in all likelihood, they'll have to get past to win the Cup

 

[Ghost of jas]

Make the trade today, drop like a rock over the weekend. Win-win from my vantage point.

Just Saying in the three seasons prior to drafting Stamkos they won a Cup and were in the playoffs.

As opposed to a team like Buffalo who hadn't sniffed the playoffs for years prior to Eichel and dahlin and are still no closer.

I hope so. Seems like a big name has to move first to set the price and now that duchene has moved the other teams can respond and adjust offers etc

If not now, then when for Nashville though?
