Trade Deadline day approaches (quarantine reduced)

[Clark4Ever]

Lou has set the market for forwards, and it's thankfully very reasonable.

 

[123offtheglass]

Can't see any team paying that, maybe a 1st, maybe a 1st + some bum "prospect"

 

[ToneDog]

I just don't see us getting Hall. So who else is worth giving up our 1st for?

Not sure but it could be a package for a forward, goalie and dman. One stop shopping

 

[Legion34]

I want oleksiak. He would be a perfect fit for pretty cheap I would think.


Rielly. Brodie
Muzz. Holl
Olek. Bogo
Dermott

is a cup caliber D.

This + mid round pick for Clifford retained (1.5 years remaining, cheap cap hit) would be nice if they don't add a quality forward.

This + mid round pick for Clifford retained (1.5 years remaining, cheap cap hit) would be nice if they don't add a quality forward.

Clifford was useless for us last year and is even worse this year. I think he is cooked, and shouldn't be in our top 12.

There are better options for forwards out there.

 

[Bloomberg]

We need a Darcy Tucker on this team

 

[SeaOfBlue]

They'd need to attach something else to get that 1st round pick included without a prospect. They can forget about the prospect.

They can probably get that kind of return if they include Montour in the deal and take a ton of money back (full retention on both and likely a cap dump of some sort).

Yeah. I would have been happy paying more than that.

 

[Kiwi]

Guys that play like him aren't exactly thick on the ground now days

He would probably spend half his career suspended as well

 

[OVO16]

Would ya'll give up a 1st for Miles Wood (if he was available)

 

[eddieO]

Not only did Lou fleece NJ, he set the market well for us (and every other team).

 

[Dreakmur]

Would ya'll give up a 1st for Miles Wood (if he was available)

After the expansion draft, maybe. Definitely not before.

Definitely way better options, but if they did in fact go for Oleksiak, they could fit Clifford under the cap additionally. Think he'd be a better fit this time around whenever he'd happen to be in the lineup, once retained he'd have pretty bargain term too for that type of player. He'd at least be able to adjust and fit right in with the group.

Alex Kerfoot for 2nd/3rd
Kyle Clifford for 4th

Why are you giving up a 4th for a dude that can't even make the team?

 

[OVO16]

I wanna add grit as much as the next guy but Idk about Kyle Clifford. I'd pass on him.

I want grit that's gonna make more of an impact from a top 9 Persepctive. Foiligno or Laughton would still be ideal

 

[Kiwi]

Would ya'll give up a 1st for Miles Wood (if he was available)

No, I think we should be looking at expiring contracts and I'm starting to think this will be a buyers market

I'm thinking we may see some good players going dirt cheap

 

[stickty111]

Nice deal for the Islanders. The price shouldn't be too high to get a good player.

Playoff depth

 

[123offtheglass]

Nice deal for the Islanders. The price shouldn't be too high to get a good player.

Nice too that Islanders are out of the running on a lot of the same players the Leafs are after. Prices should only go down from that deal I'd think, once rentals become more available, demand drops as teams like NYI get their guys, and it gets closer to the TDL.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I would want to see the price on lower cap guys first. I think it was tough for too many teams to fit those contracts in so that plays into value.

It is a good indication that Hall is not going for anything that Buffalo is asking for, but I think most people except for Buffalo knows that is not going to happen. The only thing that could be working in their favour right now is the injuries to Wheeler and Gallagher and the cap space (and need) that opens up for those teams.

 

[4thline]

Would ya'll give up a 1st for Miles Wood (if he was available)

50% retained, with a reasonably priced deal to protect him from Seattle- I'd consider it very strongly

 

[Kiwi]

Playoff depth

I'd rather pay the price for somebody better that forces one of our guys out of the lineup

 

[SprDaVE]

Iafallo for a pick makes far too much sense to me right now.
