GDT: Trade Deadline 2015

[Johnny Hoxville]

If we could get Smith and a 2nd for Wideman @ 50% from the Wings I'd do it.

We would have a ton of leverage with 3 x 2nd round picks.

TSN, giving Wardo some love.

 

[Lunatik]

haha mocking Wardo for the Iginla to Boston "trade"

 

[TheHudlinator]

from the article you posted



the viewership is there, it's just down on TV and it's happening to TSN too as the CFLs TV viewership was significantly down as well with digital viewership rising significantly

Yes but I'm shocked the CFL has viewership, SN expect a 20% increase on viewership

Since Rogers budgeted for a 20-per-cent increase in viewers this season and went to advertisers with a similar increase in rates, the declines are continuing bad news. The company’s board of directors is said to be putting pressure on the sales and hockey departments to do something because Rogers is committed to paying the NHL $5.2-billion over the next 12 years for the national Canadian broadcast rights.

The fact the CFL has viewers is a a good sign for tsn.

The Wings wouldn't move Smith for Phaneuf, they won't for Wideman

Wardo poking at Rays height.

Panel saying we need a D man or a bigger forward that costs less than what we got fro GlenX we'd do it.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

He's a capable #4 defenceman, at least. And also, have you seen the Flames' bottom pairing? lol

I'd honestly be 100% okay with the Flames moving Wideman, had they picked up Petry, though. Younger dude who'd be cheaper to re-sign, and is generally better defensively (though Wideman's shot would be missed).

Flames -Glencross +Petry would be a better team, given its strengths and weaknesses.

Engelland would be decent if there was a LH puck mover with him.

Wideman @50% is more attractive than Phaneuf. Along with shorter contract term and RH-shot.

Yeah I get SN didn't get what they wanted to for TV viewership, but they have exceeded expectations for digital media. It comes down to the bottom line and they are where they projected to be.

Dion has a crazy contract though. Anyways, I'd only move him for a really good offer like that. Otherwise let's keep him.

I don't think they are but lets move on. I wonder if Daley can be had from Dallas, he isn't old and fits our style.

But he is better than Wideman. Smith I think is pretty close to untouchable.

I was talking purely in revenue. In the end that is all that matters.


I think the cost for Daley would be quite high.

 

[Calculon]

Getting serious . . .

 

[Taranis]

Maybe hes having banking issues.

Depending on price J.Moore might work under Hartley.

LOL. or maybe playing a prank on the guys, because that seems like the kind of guy Hartley can be.

I like Kyper as comic relief and not as a analyst. Strombo was one of the few changes I was actually looking forward to. I think he's a great interviewer and was excited at the idea he'd be interviewing more hockey people.

I hold a completely opposite opinion. Strombo might one be one of the worst interviewers I've ever seen. Every time I've watched something of his (whether it be from his CBC show or now SN) the atmosphere he created just seemed so awkward and the back and forth b/w the guests and him just seemed so cringey at times

Hartley's kid probably got suspended from school.

Does Hartley have kids?

Fan 960 said wideman left ice

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Hahaha I like how Wardo's off the panel and making calls

 

[GAMO1992]

Oooh...what return would you want should Wideman be traded? If we retain salary?

2nd + B+ prospects.

but probably Burkie messing with Duthie

TSN showed it happening.

Ferraro: At no time when I played did they hand me a cell phone
McGuire: They didn't have cell phones back then

 

[GAMO1992]

I saw that tweat about an hour ago on the Leafs board. SN still saying the exact opposite that they aren't willing to retain whatsoever
