Speculation: Trade Deadline: March 8, 2024

Have you been infected with Jakey-19?

I was recently diagnosed with a debilitating mental disorder

Well, at least you're negative for Virus XG2024, aka Asshatteritis...

 

[Coyotedroppings]

That may very well happen, but I'd like to see what Keller does without Schmaltz around before we cut bait.

Oh, I can tell you that: depending on the return, the team will suffer.
How much more can this minuscule fanbase take?

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Might as well scratch Keller from that list, given the time frame.
The ol’ adage “you’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything” is coming to mind.

At some point we're going to have to make some tough decisions and trade some good players/assets to fill gaps in the roster and continue to move the rebuild forward. I would prefer it not be Keller, but if it turns out that way... Oh well!

And when does it end?

Edit: I should ask, when does a winning core get established.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Holy crap we’re not gonna trade dumba are we?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Holy crap we’re not gonna trade dumba are we?

In all fairness, who would want to spend an asset to get what he's delivered this season?

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Holy crap we’re not gonna trade dumba are we?

Well, at least he hits…. It seems winning is waaay off into the future.

Guenther sent to Tucson. I haven’t heard anything today. Losing faith in my guy.

WTF

My guys are all gone…. Lucky bastards!

 

[Edenjung]

I guess they want guenther to play in tucson to get him acclimated for the playoffs there.
Makes sense somewhat.

 

[TheLegend]

WTF

Paper transaction.

Had to be there by 3pm to qualify for the AHL playoffs.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

WTF

Don’t think he can (because he should have already), but Cooley should go down too.

He won't actually report to Tucson

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

And when does it end?

I don't know when it ends, but we all know it takes longer than 3 years

There was always the chance of some "casualties" along the way like Chychrun and/or Keller. Doesn't really mean things are taking too long. Hell, look how fast Kane and Toews wanted out of Chicago (as soon as they heard the word "rebuild") for example. Right away. Should Chicago have avoided rebuilding just to keep them on the roster? I don't think so.

Besides, you don't really know what Keller is thinking. Maybe he's fine with it all and what he sees on the horizon. Maybe not. We'll see!

 

[Foggy1097]

This is so messed up right now. So much for being a “seller.”

 

[YotesFan47]

There are going to be a lot of angry posters this season, and likely next. Early in the year, I thought maybe we were going to be ahead of schedule, but that's not the case now. I expect next season to be the last "bad" year, followed by playoffs or a near miss. We'll be integrating important youth over the next 5 years, 2029/2030 should be the opening of our true contention window.

 

[RABBIT]

Dumba to Tampa done

 

[YotesFan47]

This is so messed up right now. So much for being a “seller.”

I don't think we ever got direct reports that we'd be sellers, just some outlets making predictions based on our place in the standings.

 

[RABBIT]

Dumba to Tampa for a late round pick swap per Gambo

 

[SR]

My guys are all gone…. Lucky bastards!

I had quite a few before, but now just the one. Usually pretty spot on, has been spot on with the arena stuff and last years deadline, but we’ve got less than an hour to see if he comes through. Schmaltz and Vej he was pretty certain about. Dumba to the east.

My point was that he’ll be too damn old by the time this team comes around.
Chicago shamelessly tanked by getting rid of Nearly all talent, to include recent high draft picks. Kane said he’d have had a hard time saying no, had the Hawks asked him to work something out to stay.
There ought to be a law against shameless tanking!

Dumba to Tampa Bay

Seems like a lot of potential future core pieces could be NHL ready for the season after next. I think the 2025-26 season is when it all starts to come together in a more tangible way.

Clayton Keller would be 26 or 27yo (I think?) We need some older, more experienced veterans anyways. I'd love Keller to be one of them.
