GDT: Trade Deadline Day 2017

[hockeyfish]

Last prediction before catching some sleep...

Duchene will be heavily rumoured to MTL all night/morning, then traded to Nashville at noon ET.

Also whether it be here or Twitter when I first see the headline Duchene traded, heart will sink no matter what!

I like that.

I guess I still want Landy here. No one can really replace what he does.

There are just things that worry me with him...his body breaking down, bad penalties, disappearing a lot. He does good too obviously (physical, best defensive forward here) but I just have a nagging feeling he will hurt more than help 3-4 years down the line and then he really won't have any value. Where as with Duchene he is good enough defensively, can play RW, will still be able to score down the line and won't break down so much physically. I also think Patrick can take over defensively if we get him.

Going to feel real bad for the guy if no one wants him

The problem with the Isles package is that it puts us back into the same situation in a few years. It's basically a forward for a futures forward trade. Hamonic is solid but
We need a futures D man in the trade for Duchene.

Just as the core is coming into it's zenith, Hamonic is theory will be at the age you want to move him or let him walk in FA.

I'd rather have Sergachev + unless they are taking a D man with their #1-#4 pick. Then the Isles package makes the most sense.

Yeah if they end up with Serg and another 1st, it would make drafting a fwd palatable and actually necessary ...pretty much have to go with any of the 3 fwds
then with the other first you could pick up another D man...one hopes.

Same, even if he's been bad for us I still want to see him get one last shot at a cup.

 

[Pacman33]

I wont. Had his chance last year and wouldnt waive

 

[ASmileyFace]

BY the looks of those quotes one could interpret it that DUchene doesn't want to leave.

I doubt he would. He's built a life in Denver with the expectation of staying here for good. I mean playing for the Avs was his dream from a young age. No wonder all the trade rumors and horrific season finally got to him this past month+

I think you have to move on from Duchene but I can't help but be bummed for the guy. I hope he has success wherever he goes.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Iggy is probably in the bottom 5 players anyone needs to feel bad for on the avs.

If Ottawa would give up Chabot or Carolina Hanifin then it would solve many issues, MTL's overall package may not be as sexy with the pieces but the top player coming back might fit us best.

Nashville would be a great fit as well is they give up Ekholm and Fabbro+.

 

[CalderKing21]

I don't feel anything for him. He signed here for the money and wouldn't waive his clause last year.

 

[bohlmeister]

Yeah. Iggy has been awful all season long. He made his own bed.

 

[Avs_19]

So both teams I thought might go for Iginla made trades for forwards tonight. This could be a good pickup for the Sharks.

 

[agentblack]

Hansen probably going to SJ, wonder what they give up

1st and a meh prospect?

 

[agentblack]

1st and a meh prospect?

If so then Benning is doing pretty good so far

 

[Avs44]

Hansen's a pretty good player, really nice middle 6 option for the Sharks. Gives them some speed too.

 

[the_fan]

Iginla has nothing to offer anymore even to a cup contender, and I doubt anyone is gonna trade for him just for feeling sorry for the guy who doesn't have a cup. You'll never know, but i don't think he'll go anywhere

 

[RockLobster]

McKenzie says Goldobin and a conditional 4th

 

[tigervixxxen]

No ****? Goldobin??

 

[agentblack]

Well Goldobin is a former 1st rounder so Ray Ferraro wasnt totally off

 

[billybobjoe2112]

At the pace we're going, we'll be on thread #3 by the time I wake up.

 

[Avs_19]

Benning putting in work.

 

[Avs44]

I actually like that return for Vancouver. Works well for both clubs, I think. Vancouver has added two pretty decent prospects this deadline that have shots at being decent/good NHL players.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I stuck the thread so it's more easily accessible for people and also separated from any potential deals threads.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I'm starting to think Benning has been playing the long con and possuming everyone.
