GDT: Roster Building XVIII: Trade Deadline Week!

[Boom Boom Apathy]

With how things are going today, Friday might end up being quite boring.

As long as butts are in seats to buy pricey drinks. They know what this market will tolerate by now. Even the players say "no pressure" here. It's a very oiled business..they market very well and deflect with the best of them when they come up short.

But seriousness re: winning - enough to keep the good times rolling but I see Vegas and others as truly invested in winning.

The WLOG Candy Canes could learn a thing or two from Vegas.

 

[DaveG]

Did we know that last trade deadline

People knew he had some level of hip f***ery, just not how bad it was.

 

[Stickpucker]

This, in many ways, is how I wish the Canes would operate sometimes. But VGK and Carolina are both really successful organizations. Vegas just pursues roster management in a different way.

Stone
Pietro
Hanifin

They know how to swing their big dick.

At some point you have to wonder what the point of drafting all these kids is if we aren’t going to use any of them? We’ve drafted close to 40 players the last four years. We can’t keep everyone.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

LOL. Sounds like an extension with Hanifin is also being discussed.

We like our prospect group

There is no chance even half make the team. We swing for wildcard prospects. So if they aren’t looking like top 6 guys they don’t have much trade value

Screw it send Markstrom to LA. Calgary just makes Edmonton‘s playoff path a living hell.

I swear the frenzy starts earlier each year and the deadline gets worse and worse. Must be brutal being on one of those broadcasts with nothing but minor deals to talk about. I haven’t even tuned into one in a few years now.

They’ll be able to talk about us getting Zucker for a third 5 mins before the deadline

 

[Stickpucker]

I'm excited to get an upgrade on Kotkaniemi for free.

EyJo!

Woooo!

Jk it will be Crosby after he demands a trade.

Patches was a huge deal too.

 

[moses malone 12]

Emily Kaplan says Pitt still weighing offers rangers Canucks canes still in

donnie turtlenecks's bid just not enough to get deal done. Leaves door open for other teams. Classic.

Fast forward to tomorrow or Friday: Dubas: "Thanks for playin Don..we just traded Guentzel to the team directly ahead of you in the division."

 

[WreckingCrew]

LOL. Sounds like an extension with Hanifin is also being discussed.

I though TB basically had a contract deal worked out with Hanifin...unless they were wrong about that too...

 

[Stickpucker]

My money is we do

Eberle for a 3rd

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Kenny Rodgers once said you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

funny, but true

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Eberle for a 3rd

i don’t see GMRF doing that

 

[baconandbread]

Eberle for a 3rd

If there were other trades we do as well, I wouldn't be upset with this honestly

 

[User13452]

i don’t see GMRF doing that

Not enough Seattle might as well keep him and try to get a wild card spot for that little of a return

I'll do you one better. Pagnotta reporting Carolina scouting Buf/Tor game, which means......

Kyle Oposo incoming. Get him for a 4th rounder. Excellent asset management.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Old man okposo. Another JP like add. Not a fan but he could do something random like Domi

Never read much into those scouting lists unless it’s an assistant gm or gm or a pro scout lots of teams scouts live in Toronto and go watch the games. Nobody needs to scout okposo he’s been in the league for how long

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Lindholm to Vegas kills that deal

I thought it was Hanifin to Vegas.

Are you confusing Hanifin for Lindholm? Or do you know of another rumor?
