GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[Primetime8]

Chryrun view for ottawa (I still don’t understand why Canes didn’t make a move here):

Dorion's trade for Chychrun isn't just a home run for the Senators — it's a grand slam

Pierre Dorion waited and waited for the price to drop, and his patience paid off as the Senators landed big-fish Jakob Chychrun without giving up a player.

Yup, we tried to aggressive but but but

Canes didn’t have a lottery pick they could trade. Ottawa did. Arizona is more focused on getting draft picks.

 

[dogbazinho]

Sounds like GMDW should have asked for right of last refusal and first night.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I don’t understand why a player would fall out of favor after that though. Did he get drunk and dip his wang in the punch at the Halloween party?

It’s hard to say when we don’t know what his exact problem is. Players can enter that program for a variety of reasons.

 

[Stickpucker]

Good ole Alex O who said he would pick Raanta to start in the playoffs over Andersen

I mean are we trading Fast and Coghlan in this deal. I just can’t imagine Calgary retaining next year.

Or do we start KK for Lindholm rumors

We ltir Staal. He hurt his big toe in the Vegas game.

 

[Unsustainable]

I'd go any player that's on LTIR at the start of the playoffs is ineligible to participate until the Conference Finals at the earliest.

Also since other teams are pulling this bullshit, time to LTIR Kotkaniemi until the first round of the playoffs because... f*** it, let's go with acute dyspepsia.

If you’re in LTIR, you can’t be activated in the playoffs, if you’re not out of LTIR by game 82. It would stop this nonsens.

 

[Svechhammer]

Don't bite that lure.

Friedman:

lol no shit. Teased with Lindholm, we'll end up with Domi

It would be simple if they'd just have a playoff salary cap. I get the need to have a small bump from regular season due to extras, but it would eliminate cap shenanigans

 

[raynman]

lol no shit. Teased with Lindholm, we'll end up with Domi

End up retaining on someone else’s deal to recoup that 2026 3rd rounder

 

[Chrispy]

Don, we want

Don: We have

at home.

Get home:

 

[Svechhammer]

End up retaining on someone else’s deal to recoup that 2026 3rd rounder

lol yes, we'll trade for a cap dump to get another 2nd and then pick up another reclamation project on the cheap.

We're gonna make sure we have the best 3rd line in the league forever, dammit!

Centered by 46 year old Jordan Staal.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I tend to agree with this assessment a little more.

Yeah it’s pretty impossible to set yourself to be elite for several years in advance after already being elite (regular season) team for 3 straight years. Even teams with multiple superstars have off years.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The audio dropped. ~23:20:



Friedman says he thinks that the Canes have “spoken to the Flames about what they’re thinking” and “I don’t know that Calgary is willing to do that (Backlund/Lindholm).”

Still in discussions from that feels like coping.

 

[StormCast]

Lets’s wait until the audio drops. Friedman is very careful with his wording. The recaps are hit and miss at capturing that.

I've heard it. He essentially says he "thinks" Carolina has spoken to Calgary and "knows" they want to add a C.

To the flip side of LTIR for cap for cup runs, this is the opposite thing they need to address.

 

[Borsig]

Yeah it's way late in the game and I seriously doubt either are coming here. Especially lindholm.

I mean I guess Gost is better than 7m in cap space wasted after the PP trade, but man what a disappointment. Stall's price will go down. Hopefelly PP signs for 3-4 years in the 2.5 range? Probably wont get that term though. If hes wise, he will realize his best chance for success is here with Aho.

AZ is nothing but a money laundering operation paid for by other GMs

 

[robbieberns]

Surely we can send Coghlan down, and throw in either Stastny or Noesen with a package of picks and prospects to bring in Lindholm without any retention, right?

Not only would bringing in a guy like that really pump up the locker room, but the added sentimentality of a Lindholm reunion would be huge for the fan base as well.

 

[Svechhammer]

Its bad enough that Arizona is playing in a 5k seat arena for the next few years, but now they're not even bothering to ice a competitive team.

At a certain point, the NHL has to get involved. This legitimately isn't good for the game.

 

[MadeUpName]

Think of how much money they will save on Jarvis and Necas extensions this Summer without a lengthy Cup run this year. Borg is playing 4D chess while all these other GMs are playing NHL 2023

Why would Calgary do that? I mean, if they just want to help us out, great, but a picks/prospects and one of our expendables doesn’t help them at all.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Lindy come home so we can do a proper storm surge together.

 

[robbieberns]

I mean if they’re selling Lindholm at all in the first place they’re straight up selling aren’t they? I’m not under the impression they’re moving a piece to retool right now

 

[Lempo]

Sounds like GMDW should have asked for right of last refusal and first night.

The duke often mused on his good luck in marrying her. If it wasn’t for the engine of her ambition he’d be just another local lord, with nothing much to do but hunt, drink and exercise his droit de seigneur*.

*Whatever that was. He’d never found anyone prepared to explain it to him. But it was definitely something a feudal lord ought to have and, he was pretty sure, it needed regular exercise. He imagined it was some kind of large hairy dog. He was definitely going to get one, and damn well exercise it.

[Borsig]

Calgary isn't going to be selling. The fantasies here are crazy some times.

Kids...we're going BIGGGGGG! this Christmas.

Christmas morning:

I mean, he did get a puppy.

I'd go any player that's on LTIR at the start of the playoffs is ineligible to participate until the Conference Finals at the earliest.

Also since other teams are pulling this bullshit, time to LTIR Kotkaniemi until the first round of the playoffs because... f*** it, let's go with acute dyspepsia.

To me, there's a simple answer....you cannot ice a 20 man squad for the playoffs that exceeds the salary cap. That allows for overages, but doesn't let teams put 6 forwards making $8 million each on the ice on the same night. At one time 2 years ago, Tampa actually iced a team that was making nearly $90 million.

If you’re in LTIR, you can’t be activated in the playoffs, if you’re not out of LTIR by game 82. It would stop this nonsens.

This would never fly with the players. It would have to be negotiated in the next CBA....and what do you do with the guys that are legitimately injured by come back during the playoffs (Erik Cole, for example).

EDIT: The other thing that I would do is freeze the ability to put somebody on LTIR or make any LTIR trades at least a week before the TDL.
