Speculation: Trade Deadline Talk - March 8th, 2024

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I don't even think we need to make another move honestly.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I don't mind Patches but I don't really see a need. This is as stacked a roster as you can get, just let the chips fall where they will.

 

[TotalHomer]

So I think this qualifies as buying an Armani suit when it gets to TJ Maxx.

Zito shopping at the deadline:

 

[Trio123]

erod/luostar - barkov - tarasenko
Tkachuk - benny - cousins
Verhaeghe - Lundell - Reinhart

 

[BabyBennettov]

I’m now hoping BZ refers to Tarasenko as an Armani suit in his presser !! lool

 

[ShootIt]

I agree. The roster before the trade was full of hard working guys from the get go. don't want to see guys who've played well in their roles be benched for Mercs.

 

[TotalHomer]

I don't think this is a bad return for Ottawa tbf. They got him for free last summer and turned him into two picks. That's pretty solid asset management.

Zito: “The latest Panther…. Vladimir Armani…”

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

He'll play on the 3rd with Luo and Lundell doing the heavy lifting.

Patches is the anti-thesis of this team IMO.

Don’t want him anywhere near that amazing group of guys !!

No, thank you.

 

[Gentle Man]

Honestly wouldnt be that bad either

ERod Benny Tkachuk might be less ratty but the motor will be just as high with a bit more talent at least.

 

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

Don’t miss the days when we were the destination for over the hill nhl players came to collec

He'll play on the 3rd with Luo and Lundell doing the heavy lifting.

Or maybe put him on the first line with two of the best defensive forwards in the game that can hide any defensive warts that he has. #SoManyOptions

 

[BabyBennettov]

Honestly wouldnt be that bad either

ERod Benny Tkachuk might be less ratty but the motor will be just as high with a bit more talent at least.

Or we go back to THE cheat-code, Verhaeghe-Bennett-Tkachuk and either shift Reinhart to LW so we have Tank on the right or put Rodrigues there on the first-line and Vlad with Luostar and Lundy ?!

 

[Chaos2k7]

PoMo will figure it out, they obviously have an idea how to use him if they are going after him.

 

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

This puts some serious pressure on the Bruins, Rangers Canes…. Because their management is looking at this like we are. Billy, go get that solid stay at home bruising (Like savard) Defenseman

Let’s watch the rest of the eastern conference overspend now

never heard of him being a locker room cancer

 

[BabyBennettov]

never heard of him being a locker room cancer

Reported in Pierre Gervais’ bio, and well-known stuff around the Canadiens organization…

Never liked the guy, always came out entitled, arrogant and with attitude to me… In a bad way. But that’s me.

Still don’t think we need another forward when we are gonna scratch Lorentz and Gadjovich for good IMO.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Lol I said we didn't need Tarasenko but that was for what I expected him to get the Send in terms of a return.

For that price? I'll take another shooter on the 3rd line. Maybe see if he has some magic with Chucky. Great addition at that price by Zito.

I think one more depth move both up front and on the back end and Zito is done.

Seravalli just said on Daily Faceoff a half hour ago that he thinks Pacioretty is heading to Fla and we are at the top of his list also (he has a NTC too)

For Alscher and a second rounder ?

Seravalli is a tool… Patches isn’t coming near this group.

Don’t need him.

Yup. Dalpe has to get to play in the playoffs too.

 

[iam76]

i bet he shows up here.... i think zito likes what he likes.. he flirted with both these guys before...

Tank did us a solid, he probably told Ottawa he'd only go to Fla, or one other team. Great for us, I'm glad to be wrong in this case. I think Patches would be about the same value.

 

[Gentle Man]

Henrique to Edmonton
