Confirmed with Link: Trade deadline thread

[displacedpensfan]

Am I nuts to think that getting a player the caliber of a Clarke could potentially shorten our rebuild by a whole year?

 

[Andy99]

Someone wake four eyes up

Are we gonna have to set up watch at PF Chang’s too for him?…

 

[Epic Neal Time]

I do wonder if there's something around Rakell for Peterka to be had. I have no idea who adds. I also would expect Buffalo could be on Rakell's no trade list.

If he hits his potential he’s a top pairing PP QB, so yea that would be unreal. But I have no idea why LA isn’t super high on him

If Montreal decides to keep Savard that could cause a bidding war on Schenn. Montreal is literally one point out of the playoffs if they win against the Oilers tonight so I don't know why they'd even think of selling

The Penguins can't win over 20% either and we have Sidney Crosby.

We also have Mike Sullivan…

Either Schenn goes or Grzelcyk. It's too late for Dubas to get a player to Vegas in time if both are traded unless he trades for Calen Addison who plays for the Sliver Knights in Henderson.

This isnt surprising. Hed be the guy the jets should target too. I dont think ROR or Schenn move this deadline

 

[Andy99]

Zero fake rumors on the Pens too..sad…no one wants our crap for their good players…

 

[Turin]

Winnipeg feeling the pressure

 

[Andy99]

Confirmed that Avs traded for Nelson…

 

[Malkinstheman]

Winnipeg feeling the pressure

The Wild really wanted him as well. Wonder what all these teams end up doing with only 1 top-6 center on the market

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Isles got a mint for Nelson. Sellers market

 

[Malkinstheman]

Isles got a first, Ritchie and a conditional third for Nelson. That's roughly the return people were saying Sid would return lol

 

[Turin]

Avs totally sold the farm, wow. I guess they didn’t have much else to outbid teams besides Ritchie.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Imagine if JR was still here and the Pens were competing. That maniac might have traded the next three first round picks for Palmieri

 

[Andy99]

Avs totally sold the farm, wow. I guess they didn’t have much else to outbid teams besides Ritchie.

And for a UFA too

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I'll be so pissed if Rakell isn't dealt. These returns are absurd.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Really wonder what the other offers were for the Avs to give up Ritchie and the 1st.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

I'll be so pissed if Rakell isn't dealt. These returns are absurd.

I truly imagine he will, but I’m with you. I just think there’s way too much of a sellers market not to make it happen. If we don’t trade him I’ll be furious

Could you imagine what a retained Karlsson could fetch?!

Same. Can't let this opportunity slip on by.

The standard is the standard.
