GDT: Trade Deadline II :: Everyone is mad edition

[GoodKiwi]

You mean teams that won't make the playoffs? Probably..

Chicago's top 6
Versteeg Toews Hossa
Sharp Kane Saad

St-louis's top 6
Steen Backes Oshie
Schwartz Lehtera Tarasenko

Gallagher wouldn't crack the top 6

That's still only two teams out of 16 and even those are debatable (I think Gallgher is a better player than Versteeg and Sharp has been awful this season).

 

[DJ Breadman]

John Shannon on sportsnet just said Petry doesn't help the habs at all he is soft and they don't need a puck mover. Said they should of got Roman Polak instead. HAHAHAHA what an idiot. It really takes nothing to get a job on tv.

 

[Phenom]

I take Gallagher over Versteeg for sure and over Lehtera.

You know what... Gallagher is quite similar to TJ Oshie actually...

Wow personal preference I guess. I love Gallagher but i'd take TJ Oshie any day.

 

[DangerDave]

I feel like Gilbert will be the odd man out. At least to start the playoffs.

Yeah the habs are likely to favor Emelin for his punishing style. It all depends on how well he and gonchar play when they return.

Would of loved to get rid of Gilbert for Petry and add Polak.

oshie over gallagher 11 times out of 10.

Oshie has sick hands. Much better than Gallagher in that aspect.

 

[Phenom]

You're kidding yourself and dumping on the Habs for no reason if you think Quenneville wouldn't try Gallagher on his top 6

Not dumping on the Habs at any point and that's a debate whether Quenneville would use Gallagher on his top 6.

 

[Habsawce]

oshie over gallagher 11 times out of 10.

Gallagher over Schwartz 10 times out of 10 though.

 

[HabsDieHard*]

Oshie is 6 years older than Gallagher.

 

[Phenom]

Oshie is 6 years older than Gallagher.

He's 28 years old. Are you really using that argument.

I don't understand the deals really. Bergie likes to stack up on bottom line players for some reason. I would have liked to see a grittier presence on the back end. We have enough mobile dmen. Lastly, we can't score goals.. I wish this problem was addressed. Leaves the margin for error too small. I do wish we kept those 2 first round picks from this year and last year to be honest.

Decent depth moves but I don't think it was necessary.

He does have better individual skills by a mile.
Brendan has better team skills and seems like the guy you'd take a bullet for.

 

[The Nightman]

Nope, Schwartz is better.

Not fair...
Last year is pure hindsight now.
You weren't pumped when we got TV?
I practically couldn't sleep waiting for the next game...

What argument?

It's a fact.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Trying to find a link to prove that we traded Macdonald.........seems to have disappeared?

 

[Rapala]

Nope, Schwartz is better.

The Blues are the new Sharks Out West.
Now that the real Sharks look officially dead...
Will they ever get it just right?

 

[GREMLIN]

Gallagher over Schwartz 10 times out of 10 though.

Schwartz is better than Oshie

Oshie is so glorified ever since his shootout in the olympics, he's a good player sure but people talk about him like he's much more than a 50 to 60 point guy.

She gonnnne

 

[M.C.G. 31]

If I were a betting man, I'd bet Eberle starts the 2015-2016 season as a Canadien.

I understand it was a hoax trade by some impostor.

John Shannon literally knows nothing about hockey. He is a tv exec with no hockey background whatsoever.

Q used 23 different line combos against the Blues two games into their series last year.
It was commented on by Romanuk or Miller or whoever covered that series.
A resounding thump on your theory I would say.

 

[Miller Time]

The only player I think MTL miss the boat on was David Perron, Anyone would had send our 1st + Bournival for him? coz that was the price the Pens paid for their number 1 LW.

this 100%…

MB missed the boat on that one. Wonder if he had any discussion with MacT at the time? if not, mistake on his part.

Perron would have been a great fit, on a very reasonable cap hit, and if things went well, a strong candidate to re-sign at a reasonable extension price (not hard to imagine that a francophone from the area would bend a bit in signing an extension IF he had a positive taste of playing for a winner in Montreal/2 playoff runs in the city).

That one was a miss, would have addressed our top-6 need in a big way without costing the farm.
