What a circus for Mikko.....deal, no deal, deal, no deal.

The real pisser is all these tax free states are able to keep attracting all the top guys. Really grabs the nuts of all the other teams and forces overpayment.
 
I wonder how much value Jake Evans would have had today given big names are off the board and teams like the Jets and Leafs are now scrambling

So does our trade deadline start and end with the signing of Jake Evans.
It's hard to see us getting anything even remotely close to what we are going to need for a stretch run.
It's hard to see the team getting a good boost as is. No 2C and we also need another winger who can score at even strength.

The only real answer to that truth is tarriffs. :sarcasm:
 
I really don't think we're gonna trade any veteran today. Dvorak, Savard and Armia would be the likeliest to go but we really don't have anyone ready to take their place and we already have an abundance of picks so better just keep them. I think they let Dvorak and Armia go this offseason and sign Savard for a short deal.

A trade for a 2C would be ideal but I very much doubt it happens, doesn't seem to be many available right now.

Yeah the only trade that makes sense to me for us is for Cozens and I don't see that happening. Too big of a deal to happen at the deadline and I don't see us giving up Hage.

It'll be a quiet day. Maybe Savard goes IMO but other than that.
 
I was of the mind that HuGo wait for a true 2C of the future (I don’t mean Hage I mean someone now and in the future). I was against a ROR or Duchene stop-gap, but after last night, the need for a 2C TODAY is incontrovertible. If you can’t play a second line for half the game you can’t play hockey. If MSL doesn’t trust Beck, he will shorten the bench to 2 lines on the road for every 3rd period?

And while many here would be thrilled to move DVo for a 7th round pick, who would play center on that line? People need to think about what an actual lineup would look like. Bring up Florian to play C? 😆 It’s like saying, well if you can get two 2nds for Sam and Dobes. Do it. Roy can play in net.

And trade Matheson? Who plays his 20+ minutes a night?

Please HuGo 🙏🏼 A serviceable (top 75?) center. Damn, at this point we might be forced to get a winger and put Newhook at C.

This is not a drill.

2Cs are going for top prospects and 1sts.. I'm not wading into the pool this deadline for a 2C.
