Trade Deadline Thread: Chaos Simmering

[David71]

watch it be raty+2025 2nd? for eberle or toffoli or vatrano? then 4th or 5th for depth dman.

 

[PG Canuck]

Dubas got what he set out for which was prospects. Bunch of 20-22 year olds. 2020, 2021 former 2nd rounders and a former 4th in 2022. Doesn’t want to wait 3/4 years for the return. Probably see one of them next season or two.

Have to wonder if Pens give Ponomarev a look to end the season here. He was in contention for a spot on the Canes at the start of the year then got hurt.

Pens are definitely trying to get one more run out of Sid in the next few years and I think it’s going to be the worst thing they could probably do.

 

[David71]

brandon duhaime would have been a nice fit for the 4th line as well. theyve lost their identity for a the past 3 weeks since tocheet called them out on it.

Ok sedins long gone, and we still need adds rn to keep up.

I love phil the thrill as much as anyone but that's clearly not enough this year and surely mgmt knows that.

The near absolute silence from van indicates they're cooking up something.

something big. maybe guys with term left.

It's a bit surprising to see Drance and Burke compare Bunting, who has somehow managed to be sub-50% xG on Carolina of all teams, to players like Hoglander and Garland. Just completely off. Bunting isn't the same guy in Carolina as he was in Toronto - probably just a bad fit, but that's pretty much a free cap dump for two more years. And the pick slides to the 2nd round pick belonging to the team currently in 3rd in the Metro? Yikes.

I don't know much about the Carolina prospects but it seems like Ponomarev's history reads like a Podkolzin/Bains type.

Not even in fantasy scenario would I trade cam neely for sidney crosby. Sorry, I meant pettersson for crosby

 

[oceanchild]

Dubas thinks he's the smartest cat in the room. Showed his colors when he lost the Leafs GM job. Won't be long before Crosby is traded for peanuts.

Hoping for it

If Lindholm starts to click, we dont need another top 6 F

It would be great to move Suter to 4C.

His work with the leafs would have looked magnificent if not for the flat cap.

It’s trade deadline day

Think he’s a perfectly fine GM, he did get screwed but I still maintain they blew up their cap structure with Tavares.

I mean most of his contemporaries are older enough to be his dad, he’ll get better the more experienced he becomes as well. I think when he gets let go, whoever is able to hire him is very lucky.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Mathieu Olivier is someone I’d also target for the 4th line. He’s also a much better fighter and a heavy weight than Duhaime.

Aman for Olivier

 

[oceanchild]

Honestly, you add Sid to this team and they are winning the Cup.

I'd pay more for Crosby than Dubas was asking for Guentzel. And I'm buying his jersey tomorrow.

They get Crosby and I’m buying a Rutherford jersey

They get Crosby, dark alley BJs aren’t off the table.

He left them with zero prospect pool and draft picks

I mean, I’m willing to pay someone to do it… I have a poor gag reflex myself and won’t be able to help.

 

[DFAC]

Avs adding Mittelstadt, Duhaime and Walker are A+ moves. They’re scary and they might not even be done

 

[PuckMunchkin]

While contending for the cup.

Really dont know why picks and prospects matter in their situation...

They didn’t even make a run, overpaid for the top forwards (I know the cap being flat skewed that) and was given the opportunity and did trade away significant futures each year and yet remained committed to a flawed core. I’m not convinced he did a great job in Toronto.

 

[geebaan]

Crosby..?

 

[oceanchild]

9 hours

I doubt we trade Lindholm at this point, but NYR and Boston have yet to do anything (no interest in moving him to a western conference team if we do move him)

Toffoli, Zucker, Bjugstad are of interest St. Louis wants to much for Buchenvich imo

Dumba, Johnson, Jokiharju on the RHD

Okay with trading our second next year and the second tier of assets (would like to keep Pod). Need to move Mikheyev IMO or LTIR him (to late I think).

Crosby..?

Yea please

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Pick up Lemieux, cowards!

 

[Cancuks]

Beck Malenstyn would be a great addition for the 3rd or 4th line.

100%

Was very impressed with him when we played Washington. Stuck out in a great way.

Mario is a UFA...hmm

Yeah, they rounded out their team very well. Don't forget Trenin, too, who is a fine depth piece.

And then if Landeskog and/or Nichushkin come back for the playoffs lol...

lol!

I mean, the Leafs are Cup or bust and were for every single of the 5 seasons he was there. That’s kind of just happens naturally, provided you are doing it right.

Colorado/Dallas should probably be the West final, but it’ll be a 2nd round matchup.

Whoever comes out of the Pacific will probably be on a roll and looking very good, WCF series should be a good one regardless.
