GDT: Trade Deadline - Trade Eatin' SZN

[Cloned]

Holland has basically taken care of the Oilers' biggest needs in one single TDL. I was skeptical that he still had the goods, but he's done very well here. Props.

He didn't get a 3C. Fire him.

 

[Paralyzer]

Now that the deadline has lapsed, there was a hell of a lot of movement today.

Yeah like the bowel movements of HFBoards servers.

Dubas still wearing the Larry David sweater. Lost his glasses somewhere.

They're not going to break up the DRY line for a long time unless it struggles for long stretches of games.

Just saying if we're in a playoff round where having the center depth is a tactical advantage, we can actually deploy that now. Yesterday we couldn't.

This is the flexibility a coach wants.

 

[edmoil3]

These are the lines I'd go with as well.

However, James Neal on the fourth line is a pretty ugly sight. I'm not actually sure I prefer him over a Khaira or Nygard in that role.

He would get PP time. But he’s a better option than lucic. Let’s not forget that

It's the hipster chic version.

Minor league deal on the way for the Oilers. Waiting on details per Gazzola

Would've been nice to dump Manning or Neal somewhere today but there's always the summer for that.

He traded 3 first round picks in the last week

I know it's wild and for Coleman and Goodrow. I like both guys but I wouldn't trade a 1st for either. Coleman for a 1st maybe because of the caphit as he's certainly worth a 2nd, but Foote too? Crazy.

Makes the AA deal seem really good. I'd be more confident in Coleman as an overall player but AA has probably more upside and a strong likelihood to be just as good offensively. I'd rather lose two 2nds than a 1st. Really happy with what Holland paid considering the prices.

 

[3IR]

I really hope they give Ennis and AA a shot with Mcdavid. Some of the tweets by the media (can't remember who specifically) referred to Ennis as a depth guy and AA as a top 6 guy, despite Ennis having better numbers in less icetime. Would hate to see one given a longer leash than the other. Both should get equal shots imo.

HFboards using those hot Geocities/Angelfire servers from the mid 90s.

Super frustrating to struggle through these dated servers. I decided to start a petition to get the system updated. It's 2020 for heck sakes! Get with the program HF! Please fax me your letter of support, and I will compile them all and send it by registered mail shortly.

 

[Garbo Man]

Tampa Bay traded two 1sts for Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow.

...

Technically 3 firsts

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Holland essentially acquired 3 top 6 forwards in the last year and gave up Milan Lucic, two 2nd round picks, Sam Gagner and a 5th round pick. Think about that for a second.

Then think about how Chia whined about prices being too high and how much he would have given up for the same haul.

interesting that all the teams were "small market" teams.

my conspiracy (and virginity) are intact.

 

[Cloned]

Also, no one should feel bad for Gagner.

He's making 3M+ this year to not do much of anything at all on the ice and he played himself off this playoff roster.

Sounds like some hilarious EA NHL glitch.

Marody for Hoffman.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

First time I’ve been able to post today so I guess I’ll just post this as a summary of today’s moves:

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Also, no one should feel bad for Gagner.

He's making 3M+ this year to not do much of anything at all on the ice and he played himself off this playoff roster.

I feel bad for Sheahan.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Minor League deal for the Oilers on the way, if I had to guess I bet it's Day and Currie for someone in a different organization.

 

[LMFAO]

Whats your new line up guys ?

Right now I'd go

Athanasiou - McDavid - Chiasson
RNH - Drai - Yamamoto
Ennis - Sheahan - Archie
Khaira - Haas
(Green 7th D)

Once Kass comes back

Draisailt - McDavid - Kassian
Athanasiou - RNH - Yamamoto
Ennis - Sheahan - Archie
Neal - Haas - Chiasson

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I don't think he played himself off the roster. He just wasn't worth the cap hit. I think the Oilers would have gladly shipped out Khaira instead. This was a cap move.

 

[BlackDogg]

The "Should Dubas be Fired ???" thread is down due to mechanical difficulty

 

[nhlisajoke]

Joel Persson traded

 

[Paralyzer]

Marody for Hoffman.

Benning and Marody for Hoffman is as minor as Crosby for Ovechkin.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Correction, Sorry @SwedishFire

 

[Cloned]

I don't think he played himself off the roster. He just wasn't worth the cap hit. I think the Oilers would have gladly shipped out Khaira instead. This was a cap move.

Khaira can at least PK. If Gagner isn't scoring he is pretty bad.
