MEGA THREAD

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

Absolutely

 

[Zman5778]

That's a quasi-interesting deal though.

Pretty sure Philly was at 49 or 50 contracts before that deal went through...............

DOMINOES, BABY

Talk about being all in.......

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Just saw the Jeannot return.

What the f***?

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

lets trade the meiers package for filip gustavsson, itll be fun

 

[Djp]

All the our 23 draft Capitol fir Ricky Williams……

 

[EichHart]

Talk about being all in.......

They got 2 cups already. Honestly I would be doing the same thing

 

[StrompTroller]

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

post of the year

They will just restack the cupboards when they fall off with Cirelli and Point trades.

 

[KiwiGriff]

EF is confirming that return. Anyone still want us to buy Jeannot?

Not for that price! Merlin’s Beard!

We have a 6K. Should Tampa now have a 4N (fawn)?

 

[KiwiGriff]

Came here to say throw Oloffson and Bryson out there and see what you can drum up

Agree. Maybe we just sell a couple of players instead of buying. I’m sure we can get someone to vastly overpay for Olofsson. Especially if they don’t notice that approximately 112% of his goals this season were empty netters.

 

[Beerz]

The Jeannot trade is an anomaly.. will have no influence on the trade market. Tampa forced Nashville to trade him.

 

[Jacob582]

Adam's and Karmanos ruined a trade idea I was thinking about.

Jeanot for Oskari Laaksonen and a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th, a 6th and a 7th.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

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

That’d be cool to see again

I do not think we need Boyes right now.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

theres a thread on the main boards inspired by tampa asking for knies and a 2nd for josh anderson

and habs fans want adds

 

[Jacob582]

I'm inspired by the Meier trade.

Olofsson
Asplund
Clague
Comrie

for

Labanc
Sturm (Grier will try to make it Bonino)
Benning
Reimer

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

That's way too much, I really like Jeannot too but his 22 goal year is likely an anomaly and he's more likely a 15 goal guy. I'd like to see what Granato could do with him for sure. I'd rather package some of our 2nds.

I guess Tampa in all their infinite wisdom disagrees.

 

[old kummelweck]

I mean, if these are the going rates for players this trade deadline, then I'm fully supportive of GMKA not getting involved.

These trades are BONKERS !

Yeah, the East turned into an arms race. Someone has to beat Boston and/or Carolina and GMs are panicking.

 

[HaNotsri]

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?

No idea what Sharks would've wanted from us but both high picks have conditions and the prospects involved aren't anything special. Looks like Meier got traded for a lot of spare parts.

 

[SundherDome]

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.

Take it back

 

[Irie]

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.

I think the narrative that some posters want to only hoard picks is a false one.

Those of us that are against some of these trades are mostly against some of these trades because the players that these proposals are targeting are usually able to go UFA in a year or two, or the cost is a huge overpay, and acquiring them would be a fleecing (not to mention some of them are poorly thought out with cap or are ignoring team needs and fit).

We all dreamed of adding Meier, but the reality is he would more than likely have signed his 10M QO in Buffalo and then bolted via UFA in 2024.

That is poor asset management for a team that is not yet at the level where one piece puts them over the top.

As for the Lawson Crouse idea, if the cost wasn't way out of line with his actual value, that is a move I think would be a wise move to overpay for (within reason). Fills a huge hole and would be around for several years.

EPIC TRADES CONTINUE:

Either of them can now use this as their team song:


Wait. Wrong Ratcliffe not Rateliffe.

Yeah, the East turned into an arms race. Someone has to beat Boston and/or Carolina and GMs are panicking.

And "beat" might just be a literal interpretation.
