GDT: Trade Deadline - Trade Eatin' SZN

[Wen22]

I didn't have to fear for the returns on the trades this time, unlike last year with Chia. Good trades, hopefully they work out

He's in a very good position now, he just needs to tinker not make massive changes.

Athansiou and the emergence of Yamamoto on the wing change the calculus on the wings dramatically.

Decent chance Ennis re-signs if it works out here. He’s an Edmonton boy I think.

Not a bad deal for Muzzin tbh.

 

[Cloned]

The Chia TDL:

1st + JP for AA

2nd for Ennis

Nygard for Simmonds

You're amazing Wen22..

Toronto has literally played with a light roster because they can't afford to carry a full one. So they do this?

I guess they can get away with it having their AHL team in the same city, but I can’t imagine it would sit well with the players. They’re basically saying they value this fifth rounder so much that they’re gonna make guys earn their AHL salary instead of the NHL one. Guess that’s what happens when you’ve got a number whiz GM who tries to break everything down into values.

I like these deals, but this is pretty great.

Chia probably happy today saying to himself " You see. It only took a couple of more moves to create a playoff team," " They just didn't have the patience" " I was doing the right things all along" " I could of gotten AA for cheaper".....lol

Terrible deal for the Leafs, but nice money for Muzzin. If Muzzin wasn't already 31 it wouldn't be so brutal, but here they are.

Stamkos - Point - Kucherov
Coleman - Cirelli - Killorn
Palat - Goodrow - Johnson
Maroon - Paquette - Gourde

Overpayments or not, that is the best forward group I can think of since I was born. They are so insanely Jerry Stackhoused...all in. Luckily they aren't in the west.

edit: You can make an argument that all 12 of those players would fit well into our top 6. Palat, Johnson, Maroon, Paquette, Gourde, and Goodrow could all play on our 1st or 2nd line and be better than the option we have. Maybe not anymore since our additions, but it's close...

That is blowing my mind.

And then they lose in 4 in the first round

It’ll be fun when Point and Stamkos both no show in the playoffs again. Plus, Cernak on their top pairing is a disaster waiting to happen.

Who knows what they do, but three first rounders is a lot to give for two middle six guys.

Really coming to like the green acquisition the more I think about it.

not that I hated it yesterday, I was just confused about why we needed him, but having a guy with that kind of playoff experience playing the role of an offensive dman showing the ropes to guys like bear jones and Bouchard is going to be great. I remember thinking one of the biggest things we were missing in the HOPE days were veterans who had actually been good enough at one time to be able to guide our upcoming skilled players.

cant wait to watch the rest of this season.

Adam Oates was huge for the development of Horcoff, Stoll and even the other young forwards here in his swan song.

Yeah, I'm surprised the Lightning did almost nothing to address their blueline. Their top guys are great, but their depth his atrocious. Bogosian makes it better, but Luke Schenn is playing regular minutes for that, that is not good.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Have there been any interviews with any of our new acquisitions yet? I don't see anything on SN, TSN or the Oilers site yet.

Edit: I see Green's is up. I'll check that one out later.

 

[soothsayer]

Dubas did well relative to his non-prescription glasses.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I feel like the people hating on these trades are lost, irrationally angry for some reason or just trolling

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The Oilers added 2 former 30 goal scorers, well done

I hope you're putting all your cartoons into a collection so we can buy your book one day

I just watched Green on the Oilers website.
