GDT: Trade Deadline Day

[mikeyz]

That's what we said the last three years and yet here we are

No depth and a defense being held by a 65 yr old tanev

Yeah but this feels different. First of all, there hasn’t even been a whimper of rumours that Marner’s camp and Tre are talking contract extension.

So, if they lose in the 1st round again and Marner plays the way he has been for the last 4-5 playoffs, what makes you think they’re going to come to a contract agreement?

 

[ClarkSittler]

So looks like Rantanen is signing with Dallas. Guess plan B when Marner walks this summer is off the table.

Or plan B is OS Wyatt since Rantanen will take a huge chunk off Stars cap

That'd be great, but he's restricted and Dallas still has his rights, if they can't sign him, they'll trade him for a nice return.

Trade him to us for Minten and 1st

 

[Legion34]

Orrrr who knows. Maybe it’s for Johnston.

They offered him 8x8 plus. He says no. They trade him for mikko instead.

 

[Avilaj07]

That'd be great, but he's restricted and Dallas still has his rights, if they can't sign him, they'll trade him for a nice return.

That's why you offer sheet him. If Dallas can't match, which they would struggle to do if signing Rantanen

 

[Legion34]

I’m glad we have stayed out of this.
Nelson would have been for 1st,3 and Cowan.

1 1 2 for gourde and bjorkstrand? This is nutty.

Now watch us trade a huge package for Schenn.

 

[Puckstuff]

I’m still hoping for Schenn or Laughton. Standing pat in a critical year is not the play.

 

[Americanadian]

Just woke up to see that Nelson deal. What a brutal deal for Colorado. Ritchie is rated a higher than Cowan on most prospect lists.

 

[Fogelhund]

That's why you offer sheet him. If Dallas can't match, which they would struggle to do if signing Rantanen

Offer sheets get difficult when you don’t have your picks. Unless we reacquire our picks, we can’t go above $6.5 mil.

That price paid for Brock Nelson… yikes. I suppose if they win the cup it’s fine, but otherwise it’s a bad overpay. Great job by Lou though, the sellers are the clear winners in most of these deals.

 

[thewave]

Rantanen to Dallas and Nelson to Colorado. Looks like we ain’t gonna be picking up anything significant as expected

Overpaying players and having a players cuff you with NMCs and taking you to FA for essentially greed has this effect.

Schenn cuffs us and is costly.
Rantanen without signing makes no sense
L Schenn is slow

So really what does Tre have left? This team isn't demonstrating anything special outside some fantastic tending. Whenever the team is challenged hard they go soft.

It's just a core feature. I don't care what Tre does today. Just wait and see what happens in the POs

 

[Macallan18]

Stand pat. Get eliminated first round. Let Shanny Treliving and Berube go.
That’s best case scenario now.

 

[Americanadian]

The good thing about Rantanen possibly signing today is it sets the new market for Marner. We get to avoid the embarrassing situation we had last time where Marner signs first then Rantanen signs for 15% less.

 

[Weltschmerz]

That's why you offer sheet him. If Dallas can't match, which they would struggle to do if signing Rantanen

They will have 34 millions, they can sign Rantanen and do whatever they want.

 

[BallardEra]

"Lots of time still left Shanny. I'll use my Apple Watch to get the trades in."

 

[Maple Leaf]

Stand pat. Get eliminated first round. Let Shanny Treliving and Berube go.
That’s best case scenario now.

Sell marner and tavares

 

[Americanadian]

If Geekie isn’t a Leaf by 3PM I’ll be disappointed.

 

[MarMarSab3]

That's assuming they want Marner back, looks like another first round exit thus time for major changes

 

[Americanadian]

Also true.

 

[horner]

Brad Treliving is the most timid GM in the league and I look forward to the day he and Shanahan are fired

He's not timid he is smart.

Take a look at what the islanders got for Brock Nelson riduculas.

Rantanen will probably cost us Knies because we would need Carolina would need to retain.
Gourde and Bjorkstand trade 2 1st wow

With these prices Brayden Schenn Armstrong probably wants 1st Cowen and Minten and he is signed for 3 more yrs.

Seth Jones was the only trade that made sense

Mathews is hurt unless he is 100 percent healthy we aren't going any where.

Eh, people thought Sakic paid a pretty penny for Kuemper out of desperation, but it all worked out. He generally has a good vision in his mind with these moves.

 

[Mitch nylander]

With some of the overpayments we've seen - Nelson for Ritchie, 1st, 3rd, / Walman for a 1st, / Dumoulin for a 2nd + prospect....

Hoping we don't buy all that much.

 

[LeafsStorm]

Dont over pay for Schenn

Doubt anything of significance happens

 

[Visnovsky]

It's just the matter of finding someone who will sell at a reasonable price.

This seems to always happen, that the Paul Gaustad's of the world get a 1st, and then there are a few quality deals in between.
