GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Calgary retaining makes no sense for them. Friedman just making stuff up.

No he’s not lol he’s usually pretty connected

Friedman earlier on TNT apparently thinks that the Flames and Canes are still talking about a trade and mentioned Backlund as a possibility. One season remaining at $5.7M AAV, and could fit in at 50% retainment if Coghlan comes back in the other direction. IDK if that would be my idea for a trade, but just mentioning what I heard. I'd rather get Toffoli or even Dube, but whatever.

Backlund makes sense as a 2c

ehhhhh most of his 32 thoughts are just that, his thoughts.

I think Friedman has historically been one of the outlets that Carolina uses on occasion. It is hard to separate speculation from rumor though.

I think Friedman was the one who said that Carolina was not interested in Schmaltz and I think that turned out to be true in the short-term

Doesn’t have to be the Flames doing the retaining.

We aren’t ones to pay for that when its going to be expensive

It wouldnt make any sense for us to take on JP just to force us to spend a dumb amount to get someone to retain for 1.25 seasons

Lebrun I think has a good source within the canes organization always seems to be the one breaking deals involving Carolina

Henrique or Bertuzzi please Don.

Literally anyone who can play in the top 6 can’t rely on aho svech necas to carry the load in the playoffs need another proven scorer

 

[Rad ChaLose]

On that segment Friedman said he was purely speculating

Here's the thing, though, $2.6M is relatively large amount of space, and because of the 23-man roster limit, you effectively need to send Coghlan's $760K back in any trade to add someone else. That would leave $3369167 in cap space to add someone else. There's a lot of players, both 50% retained or not, that can fit into that amount of space. I don't think that the Canes are done yet.

I don’t really see the point of Backlund, especially after using up the majority of their remaining cap on Gostisbehere. Bertuzzi or Vrana or even Toffoli if you’re fixated on Calgary makes oodles more sense.

Backlund deal is more complicated because you’ll need a third team to make it work likely. Bertuzzi or Vrana makes sense but I’m leaning towards bertuzzi more cause he’s gonna bring an element the top 6 kinda lacks.

FO would have to have quite a change of heart to pay for a double retain or worse a multi season retain. Im not holding my breath on that. At best its an soon to be UFA retain.

I think it’s a UFA as well can’t see a double retention unless the player is pretty much coming for free. That eliminates Henrique, backlund, Hayes. Doesn’t leave many ufa to be guys besides bertuzzi and jvr

Second line basically invincible tonight and New Jersey 1 point behind if there isn’t another top 6 scorer added that’s pathetic imo. Second line can’t sustain any pressure teuvo and KK are just out floating around not sure what’s wrong with teuvo but he looks scared to get involved

Yup sign me up for this all day. Bertuzzi adds scoring and some nastiness exactly what the top 6 could use

Tyler Bertuzzi has 4G 10A in 29GP, that’s a 12 goal pace if we’re rounding up. He’s not really an upgrade on anyone in our top six right now. And his “nastiness” likely becomes nothing but a liability in the playoffs. If they could get him super cheep sure why not. I’m not sure bringing in more buy low, borderline 2nd line players is the answer.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

In this segment though, he came right out and said this was just him speculating, so there was no rumor or inside info on what he reported.

 

[Borsig]

Us getting actual scoring was a possibility with 10m in space. We spent like 70 percent of that on a next year reclamation project and a 7th d.

Run what ya brung. I agree we should not do rentals. Yet that's exactly what we've done so far. Ghost isn't going to be re-signed, pool party being an rfa is a little different, not like we could have just gotten him if he walked from EDM.
I really dislike the way we basically threw our space at this. Whatver. Last night's game and the one vs Anaheim shows we STILL have scoring issues. Yet here we are.

At least he might hit a guy and get more involved than Teuvo who looks scared. Bertuzzi did have 30 last year

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

We haven’t missed on any difference makers since the Meier deal fell through.

I get it, I'm with you, I was excited about a Meier or someone else who can put the puck in the net.

But calling Ghost a 7D when he's got the same amount of points as the team's 5th leading scorer this year (Jarvis) is kinda boring too. I'm actually kinda excited about what he can do here. And if we're gonna talk about lessons learned from a small sample size... after last night you aren't excited about bumping De Haan to the press box?

Also - with minimal retention we can get Toffoli. That's my hope for the next 2 days. He's every bit the scorer we need, having an unreal year, has another year after this one... he's not the franchise-changer that Meier would've been but coming into next year with Pacioretty and Toffoli added to this current group? Make it happen Donnie.

I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I'd be shocked.
My guess is we're done, or anything else that comes will be more depth

Retained Toffoli is going to be extremely expensive. Calgary wants to compete and he has been their best player this year.

He may cost more than Meier. 1st + Morrow + conditional 1st + prospects
