Trade Deadline Thread: Chaos Simmering

[Just A Bit Outside]

Need Top 6 W. Toffoli is the only one that is that of the names mentioned.

They also wanted size. I don’t see any size with the names mentioned.

Not sure if just too initially focused on Guentzel or what, but given all the talk, very disappointing so far.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

1 RD, 2 middle 6 wingers, I’d say we’re pretty well set.

 

[TruGr1t]

If they can't get a top-six guy, I'll take one more top-nine guy with some size and jam. I'd still like to see another bottom-pair defenseman since I'm still nervous about Cole's age and other potential bang-ups and injuries.

After watching our relentless forecheck give Vegas fits all night im surprised people want Toffoli.

Eberle is a top 6 winger.

Waive PDG. There's your space.

LTIR Myers. There's even more space.

Can you directly assign a player to ahl and have the cap come off immediately while the waiver 24hr process runs? Cause if not it wont finish till tomorrow so cap stays on today

Myers would be cool if the timeline worked

Toffoli already has chemistry with our players, knows the group and liked it here. But yeah, for a molasses slow forward group he’s not ideal. I am not that sold on Bjugstad, would be very happy if they somehow ended the day with Buchnevich and Greenway (ideally with a bit of retention for next year but that’s moo probably not realistic).

 

[StickShift]

Sure feels like the Lindholm trade rumors were more just a way to light a fire under him.

It would not be a good look to be flipped so quickly when you are seeking your payday contract.

Professional and personal shot across the bow to not be another John Klingberg.

I like Bjug for his PK, FO and hes right handed. Size and scoring at a very respectable rate this year.

Also, he can play W instead of C.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Not sure if Dhaliwal is being fed excuses or what, but this doesn't track.

If Kessel is signing at the minimum salary, then his cap hit would be lower than whoever he is replacing on the roster.

 

[Vector]

They definitely have that much cap space currently - so this thinking must be factoring in potential trades, no?

It's what I've been saying the whole time, they want to make another move beyond just signing Kessel. Have about 1.1m

Probably has to do with making him eligible for the AHL playoffs?

More so to gain roster space and open up the cap space.

Can you directly assign a player to ahl and have the cap come off immediately while the waiver 24hr process runs? Cause if not it wont finish till tomorrow so cap stays on today

They still count towards the cap while the 24hr process is ongoing, as far as I can tell.

Probably mostly just conjecture. It was always a long shot.

The idea is that unless they do another move, they only have enough capspace to make one move.

Yeah that's what I have figured as well

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Considerate it.

 

[Vector]

This seems like a very stupid thing to do.

 

[TruGr1t]

Considerate it.

Would probably consider moving Lekkerimaki for Buchnevich in some capacity. Not so much for Vatrano.

Hoglander would be tougher, I'd not do some package with Hoglander + prospect.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Considerate it.

Not for Vatrano.

This seems like a very stupid thing to do.

The Canes love bringing in guys who could disrupt a locker room eh

Love waiving them too. Examples: Lemieux and DeAngelo

 

[PG Canuck]

DeAngelo was well liked in the Canes room that’s why he came back this year but he just sucks at hockey.

I’ll waive you

 

[Vector]

I’ll waive you

 

[Nucker101]

Boys, we have officially entered Zucker or bust territory

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Kuzmenko should have more value at this stage over a guy like Kuznetsov who intentionally mails it in most nights.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I believe Edmonton was circling Eberle, so this would be good news to keep him off their roster.
