Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline: Valid Rumors ONLY (Confirmed Trades in OP / Vanek to MTL )

[Nanaki]

Huh whoa

@LavoieRenaud: Roberto Luongo échangé aux Panthers. #tvasports

LMAO. This makes total sense.

 

[Cmox]

Year of the goalie indeed. I wonder the return.

 

[marciiauzii]

We really dont like our captain and want a bigger change.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Triplets? LOL

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

They could have acquired Robidas, who is a RHD for nothing and traded Girardi for assets they need.

They could have stayed competitive this year into the postseason while adding assets.

Thats what smart GMs. Do. They make a good situation better.

My prediction:

Rangers get the 6th seed, lose in the 1st or 2nd round, get the 20th overall pick, pick some project forward. Callahan and Girardi for five or six more years.

Fun.

To be fair, though. Girardi's contract is less than market value for what he provides. He, unlike Callahan, took a real discount to stay here.

Callahan, needs to be traded. I'm begging for a Kerdiles type return. But I can see Sather screwing this one up. He got lucky and got the Girardi one right.

 

[AHB*]

Best deadline ever

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Woah what LOL Luongo to Florida?

Is the Lou trade confirmed? That leaves van with Lack as their no. 1. Time to blow it all up?

 

[ShootThePuckBarry]

T.T. and his space helmet

Love it.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Markstrom stinks but maybe he's a late bloomer.
'
I mean, he stinks both stats-wise and when you watch him play. Torts is the last guy you want to help develop that kid.

Maybe his awesome shot-blocking system will save him some bad games LO>

 

[broadwayblue]

So, at about 3 o'clock the report was "Callahan signs". One and a half hours later, he really isn't signed, and again all is quiet.

Who reported that Cally signed?

 

[Crease]

Vancouver goes from Luongo/Schneider to Lack/Markstrom/Horvat in less than 12 months.

 

[RangerBoy]

Vancouver retaining some of the money on the Luongo deal.

It sounds like Shawn Matthias is heading to the #canucks along with Jacob Markstrom.

[AHB*]

No one reported that. He's not signed and they shouldn't even be talking anymore. WE're 5 hours past decision time.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Nik Backstrom is shut down for the season. They need a goalie. Bryz sucks.

Jesus lots of goalies traded today. But who really improved? Florida sucks. Oilers suck. Sabres suck.

Miller to St. Louis is the only one and that cost was huge.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Matthias is 26 and his career-high in points in 26.

Shows you what bad contracts do to trade value. Miller was a UFA and cost St. Louis a lot. Luongo is locked up forever and he gave Vancouver a boom-or-bust and a grinder.

 

[Nanaki]

I wonder if this is the start of a fire sale in Vancouver.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Florida is set up to be good pretty soon now.

 

[broadwayblue]

No one reported that. He's not signed and they shouldn't even be talking anymore. WE're 5 hours past decision time.

I have to assume they will continue to talk right up until the deadline or he is dealt.

 

[Boom Boom Geoffrion*]

Who reported that Cally signed?

Incarcerated Bob reported that which is why nobody took it seriously. For good reason.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

I have to assume they will continue to talk right up until the deadline or he is dealt.

I have to wonder how Glen can work on dealing him and signing him at the same time. Doesn't he have to break off negotiations and get on the phone to actually make something happen?

 

[aufheben]

Vancouver is retaining 15%.
