GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[The Faulker 27]

I think I read that Waddell let Edmonton pick a prospect from a list in the Puljujarvi deal, which means they consider them equivalent.

Pick from a list though. We don't know what that list included.

 

[MadeUpName]

Granlund for a 2nd to PIT

 

[A Star is Burns]

Pens getting Granlund. Well that's weird.

 

[Daeavorn]

PLD sounds like an offseason move to me. I would love to get him though but I dunno if hed like Raleigh any more than Columbus.

 

[Canes]

Pens fans expecting JT Miller

Get Granlund

lol

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

If you are referencing my post, yea i was talking about at the draft.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

For what it's worth:

Number of games the PP has had a chance to tie/win the game in the 3rd period, in a game the Canes would eventually lose.

6-4 loss to Edmonton - Oct 20
4-3 OT loss to Calgary - Oct 22
3-2 OT loss to Colorado - Nov 17
5-3 loss to Rangers - Jan 2
5-3 loss to Nashville - Jan 5
4-3 SO loss to Columbus - Jan 7
3-2 loss to Anaheim - Feb 25

So what you are saying, is that if the Canes PP could have won those games, instead of winning at an NHL best .816 points % (29-5-4) - 134 point 82 game pace since Black Friday, the Canes would have gone 33-2-3 -149 point pace, .908 points %?

Nah, no thanks. That name is way to hard to spell or even remember.

 

[Canes]

Why do you think the geniuses in Canada refer to him as PLD.

But Pierre-Luc Dubois is not too difficult. Just need to practice Bart Simpson style.



This might be the worst JFresh scorecard I've ever seen, wow

“Deeply averse to shooting and scoring”

His Finnishing score is 100%, though.

Granlund out here trying to erase the "More Finns, more wins" mantra though

“Deeply averse to shooting and scoring”

We thought we could say that about a lot of our players but they still somehow manage to do advanced stats hockey good. Granlund is truly miserable at offensive hockey though.

 

[Chrispy]

Pick from a list though. We don't know what that list included.

I think we can be confident it didn’t include Morrow or Nikishin.

Not sure who else would have been excluded, which I think says as much about the lack of top tier prospects as it does about the depth of mid tier prospects.

We dodged a bullet there…..he has Canes written all over him.

A forward with EV Defense @ 1%?

Oh undoubtedly. They covet Morrow and Nikishin.

We are one of the best defensive teams, and rank #1 for goals by defenseman this season so I'd say having our top 2 prospects be dman seems par for the course.

Also why no one should be surprised they targeted Ghost. The one thing we lack on our defense core is one that can effectively run a power play.

You missed the one about Jack Johnson or OEL

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

No one’s gonna be left by Friday.

Greatest trade deadline week of all time, which will end in one of the lamest trade deadline days. This week has been fun.

 

[Sigurd]

We just better be hot on getting PLD and another young player at the draft / FA with all these futures.

Moving past our previous discussion, I agree. If we do that, this deadline's decisions could actually look like they were worth it after we lost the Meier sweepstakes.

Having said that, that'd be more reason to "weaponize our cap" by getting an extra draft pick(s) from this deadline. We either trade it, or it helps (to a certain extent) to offset whatever draft picks we do trade in this year's draft. If the front office believes that's a better route to take than getting a remaining meh top 6 forward with probably a lot of retention, I don't blame them.

 

[MadeUpName]

I think the constant reporting that Carolina has Nikishin as an untouchable prospect is more of an indication that they were open to deal anyone else rather than them hoarding their prospects. If there were reports of them being unwilling to move Morrow or Drury then I would be skeptical.

Canes still have room for one more small forward add. Barabanov is technically feasible without retention or potentially Max Domi Pt. 2. Exciting stuff, I know.

Sweet Jesus.

Barbanov wouldn’t be terrible. Although I would hope we could snag a guy that could has the potential to be a top 6 add like Bertuzzi. Detroit won’t be able to keep him that is unless they retain Vrana pretty good for us to take him

On the main board, there's a topic asking who has lost the most ground with this year's deadline, and some people said Carolina (not surprisingly with the eastern arms race), but I wanted to copy and paste a guy's comment because it's an interesting long-term perspective:

"Idk. If I'm Carolina and I'm watching the rest of the conference blow their load this year, I start to think about holding off on a big move. They could be more armed with assets than any other team next year, which just so happens to be the season before all their big forward contracts are up.

These big acquisitions don't always move the needle. Sometimes, smaller trades can be just as effective."

I think because we don't really have a timetable crunch until the end of 2024 with so many big contracts expiring and players needing extensions (not just forwards as he said), and like he said, the conference blowing its load for this season, next season will be the true all in season from a transaction/trade perspective, and not this one. This summer will be very important.

Decent amount of cap space this summer as well.
