GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[spockBokk]

Man, Chychrun went cheap

 

[Wolfpuck]

We weren’t willing to pay that?

Wow.

 

[Canes]

lmao, the Coyotes held out for that return?

Move them to Mexico City.

Well not really but maybe

 

[A Star is Burns]

How did nobody else beat that? Did Arizona truly just f*** themselves because so many other teams made other moves or because they wouldn't take back any salary? Just awful.

 

[MinJaBen]

Management has a blind spot for the value of their own picks and prospects I guess.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

that 23 1st rounder has a ton more value than ours. Also that 2nd rounder condition is ludicrous as Ottawa isn’t making the playoffs

 

[Canes]

That's a clown trade, bro.

Honestly the biggest trade debacle in any sport for quite awhile. What a putrid return. NHL should be investigating.

 

[Svechhammer]

But at least we got Gost. Would hate to actually use our assets for an improvement

Yeah it's becoming a problem. They're paralyzed by the potential of their own assets.

I'm not even questioning that. I just figured... well at least two dozen teams could have either beat or matched it. Granted not being in the West helped Ottawa but serious dereliction of duty by their franchise.

What are the conditions on each pick? I haven't seen them yet.

 

[User13452]

We couldn't beat that?!?

Well are first wasn’t gonna be 15th overall

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

What are the conditions on each pick? I haven't seen them yet.

23 1st is top 5 protected
2nd rounder becomes a 1st if they make the ECFs.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

What are the conditions on each pick? I haven't seen them yet.

The first round pick is Top 5 protected. Becomes a 24 first round unprotected. Then there's some irrelevant condition on the 2nd round becoming 1st round if the Sens make the ECF

 

[Canes]

Ottawa isn't even a lock to be that bad. Now with Chychrun I could see them making a serious run at the last Wild Card spot. Yes, they have a difficult road ahead to do that but I doubt their pick will be much higher than a mid 1st rounder.

 

[Svechhammer]

Well are first wasn’t gonna be 15th overall

We could have tossed in a prospect and beaten that. Morrow plus a 1st and conditional 2nd for Chychrun? Chychrun is every bit the player we hope Morrow could be, that's a no-brainer.

 

[Sigurd]

Even if Ottawa's draft pick will be a little higher than ours, we could've easily beaten that offer.

Also, he went to an eastern team! All of the eastern teams this deadline but us get star players.

Since he made a comment about playing for a contender, I do think Chychrun would prefer to play for us long term versus a young and inexperienced Ottawa team who might not even get in the playoffs as a wild card.

Why the f*** could we not wait a little longer to get Chychrun?

*Edit* It's probably because we didn't even want to trade our 1st round pick and or Morrow. Lol.

 

[Chan790]

Yeah it's becoming a problem. They're paralyzed by the potential of their own assets.

Isn't that the exact same inability to act that got Francis fired? Don't think TD respects WLOG thinking very much.

I was against getting Chychrun because I figured he would cost way more than that and we'd have at least 5 d-men deserving to play 20 minutes or more a night. But at that price, definitely kind of difficult to swallow. Arizona overplayed their hand, methinks.

Hot take. So you’re saying that we didn’t discuss Chychrun and Arizona didn’t want the best pick possible? Cool

This. Ottawa's pick will be 10-15. That is way more valuable than a late 1st or Scott Morrow. Especially in this Draft.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I don't think that the Canes are afraid to trade their 1st and Morrow. They wanted to do it for Meier. I think that Arizona views that Ottawa's higher 1st and higher 2nds are more valuable than Morrow + Carolina's very late 1st. They likely want to draft their own prospects.

 

[Canes]

This. Ottawa's pick will be 10-15.

I don't know why people think that's a given. They're a wagon offensively when healthy and have a decent chance to back into the 2nd wild card spot with some luck. We've seen crazier things before.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I sure hope we’ve got a move for Toffoli up our sleeve.

 

[MadeUpName]

I am thinking that Bertuzzi is their target at this point. A 2nd + 3rd or equivalent prospects should do it. Heavy LW that is also distressed this year.

Their goaltending is bad and defensive execution is poor regularly
