Trade Deadline Thread (March 3)

[WhereAreTheCookies]

This is all part of Tampas plan to lay off their scouting department. Who needs amateur scouts if you have no draft picks.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Damn, I had my eye on Crouse in Arizona. He is gonna cost 2 1sts

Tampa just blew up the trade market.

Tampa playing 4D chess and driving up trade prices so high so nobody makes any other trades to improve.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Hint, hint, wink, wink

I guess Buffalo's offer B would see 1st, 2nd, Rosen, Komarov. Those really aren't Grier players, and I like the return he got better.

just gotta have the balls to put the picks on the table

nobody tells stories about brave men and their proud simulators

Jesus Christ that return rivals the Gaustad trade.

Gaustead pick got was at 21OA but a high 4th was sent back.

high 4th=late 4th and late 5th
late 3rd+ high 4th gets a high 3rd
high 3rd and late 2nd gets a mid 2nd

a late 1st+ mid 2nd + player get a pick around 21 depending on draft

I don't mind moving a big package of picks / prospects like some here who want to hoard them all. But I think I'd rather just do it in the off-season and not have the deadline force you to panic and bid against other desperate teams. Use the 2nds we have for some deadline additions.

Think this shows Buffalo should start drafting more Tanner Jeanot's because trading for them are much more expensive.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Watch when we are competitive all the available players are dog shit over the hill. Young guys you can add term to are showing available and we do sweet f*** all.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Holy f*** that Jeannot return! What the hell? That was a guy they got for free!

 

[Ehran]

GMKA should put out the word..... Victor Ofaffson for all your draft picks!

The way this trade deadline is going it could just happen.

 

[EichHart]

what was that trade lol if price is that high no thanks the east is stacked as hell.

Meier just went for FIVE solid pieces. Tanner Jeannot just went for a 3rd pairing Dman PLUS a 1st PLUS a 2nd PLUS 3 more picks.

You're complaining that we're not in on these prices?

Yes. Trade Savoie, Kulich, Ostlund, Levi and our first 4 picks and we could have Meier and Jeannot and Chychrun!

 

[Zman5778]

*counts on fingers*

Actually, I think we're a piece or two short for one of them.

Debatable on the Meier 5 solid pieces. They still keep their top prospects to add to their core for the future.

Jeannot is nutty but I think we could beat that with a decent prospect which gives less picks, no way a 1st tho.

 

[kirby11]

I want to make fun of Tampa, but knowing them, Jeannot will become a perennial 40 goal scorer

See if you can move Olofsson for a haul at these prices, honestly

agreed, my overall point is that if the players available hes getting moved and if you want that player then picks shouldn't bother you

good, fast, and cheap but not all 3

you can have your roster builds done good, fast, and cheap just not all 3 at once

this is where I'm at. Then flip em for some help of our own if someone bites on an insane price point.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Remember when we picked up brad boyes at like two in the morning or whatever

That’d be cool to see again

He's retired

You’re counting wrong!

i would recommend doing what tampa does and just pay the top dollar for someone elses development time

this one is a little strange though

Yes, NJD kept their top prospects. Thing is, we wouldn't have been able to. While we have a very good prospect system........it's entirely top heavy. There's Savoie, Kulich, Ostlund, Rosen, Levi.............then Johnson.........then it falls off of an absolute cliff. We don't have any of these "middle" pieces that NJD just traded. We don't have the defensemen in our system that NJD just traded away. I don't think we were ever in on Meier for that reason.

So we would have had to pony up our 2023 1st, a conditional 2024 1st/2nd.....and then probably two of Savoie/Kulich/Ostlund/Rosen on top just to beat NJD's offer. No way I do that.

It’s hard to know what value they’d put on picks vs more established prospects. Would two unprotected firsts and this year’s three seconds as a base do it? Idk, but I’d have a hard time paying that without knowing I could re-sign him.

i forgot the entire reason i responded, I would probably overpay today to have lawson crouse right now

solid player at 4.5 through 26/27, ya that would look good on the cap and on the roster i beleieve

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Sell Girgs and Olofsson my gawd these prices are nutty
