OT: Rating Our TDL

[True Blue]

If we got Newhook for Kreider... I would have gave it a 10.

This again? Newhook was NEVER on the table.

Bumped up to a 4, b/c I hadn't seen the finer details of the contract. Front-loading the signing bonuses helps make up a bit for the modified NMC

Some people just live in a fantasy world I guess lol. Edge said they had a couple offers they liked but nothing earth shattering like Newhook

Then get a 1st round pick in a deep draft year. Lesser players were traded for premium packages. I’m sure we could have received a similar package to Pageau if not better.

liked the Skjei move in a vacuum. I think we got good value for him, and moving forward I think it will prove to be the right move, but we are VERY thin on NHL LD in the short term. I don't think Skjei was ever going to be more than he currently is, and we got rid of a potential problem contract for good value. We have quite the LD pipeline, so I don't think we will suffer for very long, so overall a positive for me.

I wanted Kreider to stay. I don't mind the cap hit, I hate the 7 years. I got what I wanted, but we sacrificed more than what I would have liked. I still like this more than I dislike it because who knows what the last years of that contract will bring for this team, while in the next few years we still have our veteran leader with a very unique skill set. I am all about getting younger, but you can't win with a team of 24 year olds.

I am not happy that we did not trade either of Fast/Strome, especially with the stupid value mediocre players were returning yesterday.

I was hoping someone would take Smith but whatever

ecstatic that we did not trade ADA.

The car accident puts a huge damper on everything.

+1 for not making a stupid panic movie because of the accident

We are not so thin that we can't be giving Hajek mins, which we should have done all season by buying out Staal instead of Shatty

Also, how much of a sure thing is Newhook?

its one thing to add to Kreider and get like Byram, who is not 111% certain lights out, but still as a 4OA has better % expectation than a mid pick like Newhook.

7 for me probably.

glad we traded Skjei, but was expecting a bigger return but I guess it is OK because the 1st rounder should turn out to be somewhere closer to the middle rather than late.

very content about Kreider being here

Like the Gauthier trade

Somewhat disappointed we could not trade Fast, I guess nobody was offering much.

Should have gotten a 7th rounder for McKegg and called up Beleskey.

We are still stuck with Lundqvist, Andersson, Staal, Smith, etc.
