Post Deadline Transactions and Signings

No moves means Im still worried about our depth scoring

 

[TMLeafer]

Ritchie brothers traded for each other (cgy/Ari)

The Sandin trade really doesn't look that good anymore without the assets being flipped. I was really expecting something else to happen there.

Maybe he was trying to make a deal with someone that just didn't happen but I'm very surprised he held on to those 2.

Sandin wasn't going to play so instead of letting an asset lose all it's value, we gained it now. Not only was he not going to play if the health of everyone was good and it's clear he did not want to sit.

They tried to flip the 1st but it's likely nothing came out of it.

Someone here joked Nick Ritchie to Calgary as their all in move.. well it happened lol

Calgary loves doing mediocre things.

Salary cap made it impossible for many teams.

Hopefully the increased cap next year will make things better.

Flyers hold onto JVR
Ducks hang onto Klingberg

LOL

Why would anyone trade for JVR at a $7M cap hit? Even if PHI retained 50%, it's still a $3.5M cap hit. And I doubt that anyone wanted to pay another 4th or 5th round pick to reduce it further.. So, it doesn't seeem strange to me at all.

Apparently Klingberg was traded to Minnesota at 2:58 pm.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Nick Ritchie for Brett Richie lol

 

[Schenn]

The Ritchie brothers got traded for each other lmao

 

[CatchyTune]

Bruce Boudreau yelling at TSN staff was the nost exciting thing today.

Anyone got a clip

I dunno if the team is better. You can only have six dmen at a time on and we now have 10. The most we needed was 8.

ROR, Acciari is an upgrade but Lafferty as the Engvall replacement is a lateral move.

Lafferty is an upgrade over Engvall in the playoffs. Maybe not in the regular season.

Salary cap made it impossible for many teams.

Honestly, given what we've seen with this season and the creativity of moving salary, if your GM can't figure it out (or hire a Pridham to do it) then he needs to be canned.

 

[Lightsol]

So how many days before they announce Holl is getting a multi-year extension here so we can watch him fail into his late 30's?

 

[Fonzieleaf]

My one concern is that our third line still sucks. I like ROR in the top 6

Second line was doing just fine without him. The 3rd however needs the most work, hence that's where he should be.

Anyone got a clip

 

[justashadowof]

At least Brett can move into Nick's (probably) nicer place in Arizona.

 

[tmlms13]

Ritchie brothers traded for each other (cgy/Ari)

Most interesting move of the day

 

[Judas Tavares]

I think it's weird that adding north of 6 new players at the deadline which is already unprecedented, would seem like the norm/expectation here.

You can't just go

xxx-Matthews--Marner
xxx-Tavares-Nylander
xxx-xxxx-xxx
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

Ok doobler now fill in/swap out the rest all at once to appease my wishes and fantasies!

It just does not work that way.

 

[TMLeafer]

Coyotes save money and use existing jersey.

 

[ULF_55]

Now they're just thumbing noses at everyone

ROR, Acciari is an upgrade but Lafferty as the Engvall replacement is a lateral move.

I look at Acciari as Engvall replacement and Lafferty as Simmonds/Holmberg/Anderson/ whoever play on the 12th spot replacement.
Then there is ROR who just bumped every forward down beside the big four

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

What is Button talking about? Klingberg was an absolute tire fire in his own zone last year, especially in the playoffs

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Lafferty is an upgrade over Engvall in the playoffs. Maybe not in the regular season.

How do we know that? He's played less than 8 minutes in the playoffs

 

[1specter]

In a vacuum do you think Sandin is more valuable than a late 1st rounder? I don't think he's done anything to justify he's worth any more. So they basically got equivalent value when the opportunity presented itself.

I do but that's because I thought Sandin was developing well and was on track to be a good top 4 D. Also only 22 years old, we were lucky to even get him where we did in the draft because if you look at almost everyone drafted around him they're pretty much all busts.

It's also a strange trade to make as a team trying to go all in, you usually move young pieces like that for an established player, not futures. What if he could've been packaged with picks for something more? It's just confusing to me.

And Gus has no place on this team.
