The 2024 TRADE DEADLINE Thread

[datsyukfan]

Ok, things are almost done, last name I will throw out there:
Jack Roslovic. - US born (greatlakes region), 27 yr old, fits the narrative.

He’s been a guy I’ve thought about too

Only a 5th rounder for Dumba? Cheap prices. Yzerman doing jack shit. He may just be conceding this year since NYI are surging and the Lightning just keep improving.

Dumba is a different Petry or Holl, but current Dumba is no better than Petry or Holl.

Word Is Crosby got mad at dubas and threw his glasses against the wall ,called him a f*cken nerd and demanded a trade to detroit

 

[GMR]

David Legwand and Erik Cole in back to back years at the deadline was pretty lit.

Why doesn't Zidlicky get more respect?

Dumba is a shell of his old self. Hard pass.

Cory Cross is still out there.

Am I taking crazy pills or something? Kostin has below average skating, both initial footspeed and top end. Give him average skating ability relative to the current and he becomes a dramatically more effective player because he can now keep up. That's what Mac was in the 90s.

I think you are. McCarty was logging 15-17 minutes in his prime. Kostin averages half that. McCarty had average speed comparable to most of the greybeards on the Wings in the 90s. Like, he wasn't a burner at all... but he maintained a hard forecheck like a mother... and he was legitimately a physical force on the Grind Line. He didn't need to zip around because Draper had enough go for that entire line.

Roslovic to the Rangers for a mid round 2026 pick.

 

[Frk It]

Why doesn't Zidlicky get more respect?

Was that another trade that happened in one of those years?

I actually liked that trade and adding that player.

 

[datsyukfan]

Roslovic to rangers ffs

 

[Frk It]

If we don't make a trade we better announce we are calling Edvinsson up at 3:01 PM on the dot.

 

[ricky0034]

I don't have anything against standing pat this year as a general idea but it sure is boring to watch

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Just trade a defenseman, that's all I'm asking. Doesn't matter what the return is.

 

[Gniwder]

If the skating required now were the same as the skating required in the 90s, Klim would have been no different. Klim was a 1st round talent in lower tiers. It's just at the NHL level the skating is HUGE. And Klim doesn't have it and neither did Mac.

Well the good thing is we once again get to discuss lottery pick draft range options

 

[lilidk]

Correct one mistake last of season, still one more need to get done

 

[letsgowings9999]

Someone show justin holl some love dammnit lmao

OMFG...

Because Mac,, in the 90s when skating requirements were much lower, could keep up. In the modern NHL a 24yo Mac would be no different than Kostin. And Kostin in the 90s, would be a significantly more effective player than he his currently in 2024 because his footspeed wouldn't be holding him back. Kostin and McCarty are the same. The eras and skating need in those eras are different.

[Ricelund]

Wow.

 

[Frk It]

Roslovic to the Rangers... Hertl to Vegas

Looks like you can put a fork in us for this deadline.

 

[letsgowings9999]

f***en Vegas man

 

[saska sault]

Anyone who ever worries about our future cap situation, just look at Vegas. They figure it out.
