Rumor: Rumours & Proposals Thread: "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"

With all due respect I'm not expecting shit haha.

This. Our GM is such a dud.

 

[Darkwinter]

Well, they won't be saying they want out just because they didn't go all in at this TDL

No your a 100 right but with Holland not doing much can't help the case

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Holy crap can't believe Boston gave up that much for Lindholm

 

[Paralyzer008]

Good news about missing out on Nick Paul: I don't think we're missing out on much.

Bad news? That was maybe our only way of dumping Kassian.

I have a feeling that regardless of how well it goes between now and July 1st, Holland won’t be the GM (if bad, fired, if good, promoted to irrelevance). Could just be indigestion though

My optimistic side says that if Holland were after run-of-the-mill replacement players, a deal might have been done already. He has surprised us before. "Expect the unexpected."

My optimistic side is Holland only has 1mill to spend and he is struggling to find a defender that cheap that is better than Lagesson or Russell

That’s not all that much for a #2 defender that they have already resigned.

.884, 3.48

Mrazek out here having worse stats than Mike Smith

 

[McDrai]

How to contenders like Tampa, Florida, Colorado get useful players so easily

They have competent GMs who know how to operate with a salary cap.

[Oilhawks]

Sure, but who would they use it on? Teams are valuing 2023 picks more anyhow

Anyways, CapFriendly says they currently have 1.7 M. If they move Archibald and Lagesson, they'll get another 2.25M, giving them close to 4M. I'm probably missing something, but there are still ways for them to boost their available cap and have other teams retain.

This isn't accurate. The trade would just have to be conditional. And teams would go for that because the '23 draft is deeper than the '22 draft.

 

[McDrai]

Skinner, Holloway, and Niemelainen it is then

 

[Rengorlex]

Ken Holland probably congratulated himself from getting the price down from that 2nd to a conditional 2nd/3rd

 

[soothsayer]

Exactly. They can make the condition to essentially dicate that the other team gets whatever pick Chicago doesn't (not worded that way, obviously).

 

[McSuper]

Holland is too busy looking for his old shrivel up dick to make a deal . At his age he in the bathroom every 5 minutes

 

[AddyTheWrath]

at the end of the day, it still makes the pick harder to move.

Love all the over reactionary posts in here.

 

[soothsayer]

HFboards crashing. Dubas must have farted.

 

[belair]

Dorion seems to be in TB's pocket. We don't have a Mathieu Joseph, but they've already seen how much TB inflates their fourth liners when they took back Paquette in the Gaborik deal. And that 4th is garbage for Paul at 1/2.

Dorion also facilitated the Giordano deal by taking back Hamonic. What a schmuck.

Keep thinking that the highest paid GM in the league just sitting on his hands is fine.

How?

 

[AddyTheWrath]

How?

Would you rather have a pick with conditions ? Or one with no strings attached?

I’d rather not waste assets on a team that’s not going very deep regardless of what’s done in the next 24 hours.
