Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline Shenanigans II

[Holden Caulfield]

Ha, poor Dallas. There D corps wasn't bad enough?

 

[deeshamrock]

Don't offer too much Dean, if true. Everyone knows he's bolting back to Vancouver after this season.

And that's the issue...Benning knows somebody will overpay

@DarrenDreger
Stars remain interested in Hamhuis, but after Russell trade Dallas needs Vancouvers asking price to drop to make it work.

Hearing it’s Russell for D Jyrki Jokipakka, F Brett Pollock and a 2nd round pick. #Flames

great return for Calgary.
don't know alot about Pollock but I like Jokkipakka and a 2nd is decent.

 

[kingsholygrail]

So little going on they're discussing the Messier trade.

Russell to DAL

@MikeHeika
I believe the Russell trade is for young defenseman on roster, forward prospect and conditional pick

Excellent... I hope they paid a premium price for Russell.

Yeah nice to be a seller who reaps in payment. GOod young adds to a young team.

If DAL makes conference Final, that second becomes a first. Burke will next appear on-air in a Stars jersey.

 

[TradeMadeMeSignUp]

Dennis Bernstein and all of TFP is about as reliable as Eklund but he's saying the Kings are making a push for Hamhuis.

And now a real reporter, Bob Mckenzie reporting that Boston is making a big push for Hamhuis.

On a sidenote, the Boston Bruins make zero sense.

Stars, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Pretty good projection for a 7th round pick

hahaha...massive return for the flames.
I like Russell but that is a massive return.

 

[gnarls barkley]

man, i would be mildly upset just giving up a 2nd for Russell let alone the rest

guess the Stars are "all in" as well though...in before they get swept by some random team in the 1st round

Also said that Hamhuis would want to stay in the western conference. Common Kings!!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If that's what Russell cost, imagine what Vancouver will haul for Hamhuis. The Stars will regret that move. They're destined to be knocked out in the 1st round.

and will likely drive Hamhuis's price up...

“@TheFourthPeriod: Heard last night Kings re-entered Hamhuis chatter. Gotta wonder if that’s still ongoing.â€

 

[theMajor]

holy overpayment for Russell....I dont feel so bad about Dean's moves/lack of moves now. that is INSANE

Trade deadline usually results in overpayment. Don't really expect us to make another trade.

 

[YP44]

and will likely drive Hamhuis's price up...

also part of the condition is Russell has to play in 50% of stars games. So in other words it will be a 2nd.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Bernstein and the rest of TFP is as reliable as Eklund.

Yeah, saw that too. Dallas just paid so much for Russell, Dean isn't paying that much for Hamhuis.

 

[Little Psycho]

“@TheFourthPeriod: Heard last night Kings re-entered Hamhuis chatter. Gotta wonder if that’s still ongoing.”

If Calgary got that much for Russell, don't want to think what the asking price for Hamhuis is. Besides, I don't think we have the assets.

edit; LOL just saw the twitter handle. Nothing to worry about.

THrough the first 2 rounds...and that isn't impossible.

I've never seen them actually break a news or a trade, all they ever do is report after someone else actually reports it. Dennis Bernstein is an absolute ****n joke, that guy hated the Carter trade (cup), hated the Gaborik trade (cup), that guy can go jump off a cliff.

Alan May was traded 4 times on trade deadline day in his #NHL career, more than any other player.
