GDT: Trade and Free agent Rumours thread | Chayka off-season edition

[sxvnert]

Spring cleaning day on the trade market.

 

[sxvnert]

Jarmo putting the screws to Chayka by leaking to the Media every 5 minutes.

Or Chayka is talking trade with the leakers while hes working on the real trade behind the scenes. JC loves misdirection.

Than

That's someone I was hoping the Leafs would get at the deadline and this off-season. One of the fastest skaters out there.

Very good bet by the Devils here for a fourth.

Rock me Amadeus. Great name.

Or they already have a deal and all this is just Trolling the media for fun as they are waiting to annouce the deal at the draft in Buffalo. League use to have a gag order on any trades for 1st round picks before the draft so it didn't spoil the TV coverage.

And best goal song ever! You know they will play it if he makes the club.

Gonna call my mom to find out what she’s hearing.

Be right back.

Maybe you should be checking in on James Reimer's mom.

That used to make you a credible source around here a decade and half ago

My entire schtick around here is that we get better by introducing accountability to the club. Especially after the 18 wheeler season we just had. We don't get better by keeping the same players around for year 11 of this era either. Keeping players just for the sake of it is soft, indecisive, and is a huge part of why our team's culture is a country club. Screw the 2nd round pick or whatever we're holding out for in a Rielly trade, the leadership group of the last 10 years is a millstone hanging around this team's neck and we are absolutely better by moving on from as many of them as possible, as soon as possible.

I go back to..... it's June 25th. This is a recording.

Look, no one will be happy with a status quo, although for the most part that is the team that won the Atlantic and finished 4th overall

Why chicken little it on the 5th day of summer before the draft and UFA? Seems like premature eja........

 

[hamzarocks]

You could my good sir.

If the team has a under 25 2C or under 25 topD signed to a good deal, then a swap may be possible.

If not, you can get lost

 

[Vince Young]

Yeah man, our GM all of a sudden went from saying give me Nazar or Frondell + 4th overall. For Helenius + 20th overall

 

[sxvnert]

Jeff Marek is in the Chris Johnson/Kyper tier of guessing.

 

[cyris]

If those teams are looking for a LW I’d let them relieve us of a burden of MM or Robertson lol

 

[Buckley]

Rielly has waived his NTC and is actively working with management to find him a new team. Now our GM is in the media saying he'll probably be here next year and the fanbase is discussing how it's a good thing because we should protect asset value.

This is a golden opportunity to move on from a core player. Don't mistake me, I want Matthews and Nylander gone too, but they're nailed down and I can't reasonably expect it. But Rielly is right there, primed to leave, and I can already see how this progresses to him being a Leaf next year and we go into year 11 with the same leadership group.

It's not even the draft, after year 10. I am deeply impatient because I am desperate for trades that indicate accountability will enter our club, and I already see the same old "patience" rhetoric that will inevitably have 44 on our blueline next year. I beg for a GM who is decisive. Carpe Diem, take the third round pick for Rielly or whatever and tell the league (and pending UFA class) that we're serious about moving on from the 18 wheeler season last year that nobody around here seems to remember.

I'll let you in on the secret: Chayka is lying.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Every insider is trash now

If Friedman tweets it, I will pay some attention but everyone else is literally throwing **** at the wall to fill a radio/tv time slot.

 

[sxvnert]

The Chayka head fake is coming. The teams rumoured for Knies have been the Sharks, Sabres and Hawks with the #2 or #4. I'll assume hes actually dealing with the Rangers for the #5++ or the Kraken for the 7th++.

 

[Vince Young]

I'd like to take the burden of Werenski off the blue jackets for them

And then it all gets posted here. 10 times

 

[colchar]

Okay first off, calm down. It's not that serious. It was a passing comment.

It is an uninformed comment and this place is full of those, to the point of ridiculousness. People fail to read, or understand what they've read, then create posts that are complete fantasies and ten pages later others are quoting them like they are fact. For example, how many times have people commented in this very thread about the Leafs looking to trade Knies when that has never, ever been the case? It is f**king ridiculous and people need to stop posting bullshit.

Second, there has been plenty of chatter about the two players being friends even if not directly mentioned in the linked article. That's what I was referring to.

No, you said it was now "Matthews wooing Werenski" when absolutely nobody has said that. You posted bullshit as if it was fact.

Third, both having contracts expiring at the same time and having the same agent is hardly a link to Toronto to begin with.

Irrelevant. We are talking here about you claiming Matthews was wooing Werenski, nothing else.

JC: "Hey Matty, help us recruit some Americans up north. If next season goes well we'll lock everyone in long term. Otherwise we'll deal both of you together the following summer wherever you choose."

 

[Rare Jewel]

So, how many times have you refreshed the page today?

 

[thewave]

Wave senior intel saying things are happening. Expect big news tomorrow. Really big news.

 

[Budz]

I'll let you in on the secret: Chayka is lying.

I’d love to play poker with a few our posters.

Why would we ask Rielly to give a list to then say nah?

 

[Malachi Crunch]

Can someone explain to me this? I keep hearing Spence is great but why are the Sens so open to letting him go? I honestly don't know enough about the player.

 

[NJG]

Yeah, that tends to happen in forums about specific topics... It's for people to discuss things, even if it's not accurate—it's still a discussion. So you're salty because an online forum is fulfilling its purpose? Sounds more like a you problem.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

How do you know it is his ask??? Sounds more like Buffalo trying to low ball
