Trade Deadline Thread (March 3)

Tidy pickup for PIT. Wonder if Nashville retains anything on the $5M for the next 2 years?

 

[Chainshot]

I don't think there's anyone left worth trading our 1st for.

I'm also not sure there's anyone I'm excited about drafting in the 1st where we'll pick.

Maybe the east eating itself will pop someone available...

I don't think they do anything else. They will sit on their hands and talk about timelines and futures and building sustainability while ignoring that they have arrived.

As Granato said to Thompson - it's time to stop thinking about someday and be good.

 

[Dirty Dog]

in fairness, if you calculated winning percentages under each owner the pegulas might challenge for all time low

Multiple GMs wanting to rebuild a team will do that!

 

[BuffaloGooner]

I don’t really want to give up our first in the most stacked draft 2015 honestly

Oh man.

 

[Zman5778]

Oh man.

What am I missing?

The draft is stocked at the very top (1, then 2-5). After 6 it gets to normal levels.

Seems like Pens are clearing cap space. Probably for JT Miller.

Yet they picked up a huge dollar contract in Granlund

 

[SundherDome]

Move them to Buffalo, Minnesota!

With it being 15 min from me, there is nothing out there except an A&W.

Just thinking of how old the Penguins are.

And? Every game becomes a road game then

I admire Nashville launching everyone with a pulse on their team into the sun. Poor Milwaukee.

I dunno. I still see above-average levels until the 20s. But that's me.

I'm not there but maybe it's because I've been doing a lot of looking and I've reached my tolerance level.

 

[deVolt]

The use of the word "escape" here is telling. You want a joke ownership -- that's it. Not the Pegulas.

One does not exclude the other.

Sissons would be a very good pickup for us. Would easily toss them a 2nd for him. Fabbro is still rumored available too.

 

[SundherDome]

I imagine it would be like Ottawa where you need to charter a flight to get to a home game

 

[zenthusiast]

Chad tries to explain later in that thread that it is the Sens pick being (right now) higher than the Sabres pick that made the different.

Lol he’s got to be saving face

There’s no way that two points makes that difference

I would love Sissons. Fabbro wouldn't be bad either.

 

[Beerz]

Wound is still fresh here, probably could’ve waited to make this comment…

It's Dusty

 

[Gabrielor]

Man, teams really seem to like making moves to better their teams' chances at the playoffs, or playoff success...


...anyways, I wonder if LAK's 3rd we just grabbed will be a NCAA player who leaves in 2027, or a solid CHLer we move for a depth defensemen with good vibes about him.

 

[Hasekperreault23]

He built a pretty good team that's doing much better then expected. Back at the beginning of the season most of you would be thrilled that we battling for a playoff spot. This season was a development season and it's turned out better then expected. I wasn't expecting much this season but if they don't do major additions to help the areas that need it in the off season then there is reason to be upset

Exactly! We played better than expected so why not reward the core by improving the team and getting into playoffs. Playoffs would be huge for this young team.Adams basically told his players to go f themselves.I honestly think he hasn't a clue when it comes to trades.Stillman for Bloom? Minor yes but a horrible move .Dahlin now out along with Tuch and you get NOBODY!.What a kick in the teeth to the young core.Some fans are still defending him and say let's see come Friday then after nothing Friday well lets see what he does in the summer.Its mind-boggling that as a fan base we keep giving excuses to management definitely a losers mentality .I bet Thompson and Cozens regretting taking a hometown discount now.They did it to try to sign their core AND IMPROVE TEAM THROUGH TRADES! Damn iam pissed

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

Sissons checks most boxes for what they need in the bottom 6, like a slightly smaller Gaustad I think.

Good luck. I’ve been trying to tell people that all year.

you’d think the sheer number of first being moved would be a tip…but it hasn’t been
