GDT: Trade Deadline 2017

[Saint Patrick]

Man I miss PK.

 

[Krnage]

Pk is such a gentleman

 

[Milhouse40]

Oh wow the 3million dollar centre. Is eller coming back?

Adding another player means another must come out. More Cap.
If another player goes they other way, More Cap.

But i can name you one at that price tag that might be available: Tyler Johnson.

 

[Rickkins]

Doesn't look like we're gonna land any kind of goal scorer...

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Milhouse40]

The Kings paid the same price for Iginla that we did for King....

Iginla is done dude.. this isnt 2008

 

[didimentionlarseller]

F it call Buffalo and get Kane here

he's literally only 20 goals down on Duchene with less games played and probably much cheaper

he falls off in assists for points comparison but he makes up for it in physical play

 

[Lebowski]

The Kings paid the same price for Iginla that we did for King....

I rather have King.

Name me at least one good goal scorer that MB could get for a fair price, and who coul play better thyan Gally or Lehkonen on the second-line ?

We give up a 3rd ou we re-sign him this summer if not its a 4th pick.

 

[417]

The Kings paid the same price for Iginla that we did for King....

Might be because they have the same amount of goals

 

[antoniojr]

The Kings paid the same price for Iginla that we did for King....

Iginla is also 12 years older and only has 3 more points (assists) than King...

You need to score goals in the playoffs. That's what wins cups. You can have the best shutdown group in the league but you NEED TO SCORE GOALS TO WIN. Period. The shutdown guys who are remembered for their monster performances also had teammates that scored goals.

They are improvements, but the bottom 6 was not where the team was weak. So yes, not improvements where improvements are needed. They need a center, or at the very minimum a top 6 LW. I really don't give a **** about the bottom 6 frankly, they do not matter if the team has 1 line that can score.

Yes, you're correct you need to score goals ... when was the last time someone in the bottom 6 scored a goal... sometime last month I think, certainly not in Feb. These guys aren't going to put up massive numbers but I'll settle for 1 goal/game from the bottom 6... there was absolutely no evidence that was gonna happen. The 4th line last night played minimal minutes, meaning Rads, Patches, Pleks were all over 20 minutes. King and Ott take some the heat off of Pleks and Byron for the penalty kill ... and with Ott/Shaw/Gallagher in our lineup, we're gonna get penalties.

As for the top 6 Patches is scoring. Galchenyuk is back to scoring. Rads is scoring. Yes it would be nice to get a goal from Gallagher or Lehkonen, but that line looked very strong last night and I think will come together. Would I like to see Vrbata or Landeskog or Duchene ... sure, but not at any cost.

These moves push some of our more marginal players out of the lineup. Flynn shouldn't be in the league. The clock is up on Andrighetto. Mitchell plays great in October. King is a beast. Ott ... Meh, but I'm ok with him in the lineup instead of Mitchell.

We're gonna end up playing one of NYR, Pit, CBJ in the first round. All deep teams that would expose our lack of depth ... I think we've shore that up. Lets hope we get another scorer, or Gallagher finds his touch again.

Now the Habs can actually soften up their opposition, the way that teams have intimidated them.

 

[1909]

I rather have King.

Iginla is done, done, done....

 

[scrubadam]

So what big scorers have been traded so far? Vanek and Hansen?

We can grief MB for not getting Hanzel who is the best of the bunch so far but I don't see how he would of fit in the habs roster and the price was very steep.

When actual top 6 players get traded then we can harp on MB, until then the whole deadline has been 3rd liners/10 goal scorers/grinders so far.

 

[Fazkovsky]

i like a e.kane-galchenyuk-gallagher line

 

[hototogisu]

The Kings paid the same price for Iginla that we did for King....

And Avs fans are saying they downgraded.

 

[Lebowski]

i like a e.kane-galchenyuk-gallagher line

A winger would be nice, but top priority should be at center.

 

[BatVader]

i like a e.kane-galchenyuk-gallagher line

We need a C. Top priority. is a C.

 

[1909]

Pk is such a gentleman

It's the trade deadline thread....

 

[void]

It's the trade deadline thread....

No trades are happening and everyone is showing the PK conference

 

[SnapVirus]

People want a C but there's no C available. Well NO UFAS.

Duchene, wont move. And Ribeiro Sucks.

So theres no one.

 

[donghabs98]

I wonder if Iginla regrets signing such a long term deal with the Avs, I get that the Avs looked like a young and up incoming team at the time but 3 years was a big bet that he made.
