GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[Blueline Bomber]

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

They just traded for and signed Huberdeau to a massive contract. If they’re going rebuild after making that deal, they’re in trouble.

 

[Stickpucker]

I mean, he did get a puppy.

I infer from the art that the puppy is a mut he found in the alley earlier in the year.

 

[StormCast]

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.

Yes, sending Coghlan down and getting rid of Stastny would get you there with no retention with a few dollars to spare. Stastny has an NTC but you could waive him without sending him down to avoid the buried cap hit provision.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

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 in the 3rd round of the NHL playoffs in 2023

Fixed it for you.

This is why ive never taken a Lindholm trade as a serious thought. Calgary doesn’t seem to be in a position to trade him. I guess I could see Backlund, who would be a very us move.

Lol bold take, Nostradamus!

 

[StormCast]

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

Moving one player you don't think you can afford to resign the season after next for a strong return isn't exactly the same as selling. If they moved Lindholm, Backlund and Toffoli? Then they are selling.

Pasta with a great contract with B's....another superstar not available this summer.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I'm curious what people think we would trade to get 1+ seasons of Lindy.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

cmon nhl just shut Arizona down

 

[CanesUltimate11]

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.

And yet somehow they’re not the worst team in the league. Really speaks to how bad those other teams are.

Did anyone really expect he would hit the market? I don't think he really took any hometown discount..it's pretty fair market IMO.

 

[Stickpucker]

I'm going to base this on the idea that TD is angry to miss out on Meier and Boeser and still wants to be aggressive.

1st + Morrow + Drury + Fast <> Lindholm.

PP takes Fast spot
Calgary flips Fast for two 3rds or something?

Fool me 10 times shame on me.

Need a buyout system for LTIRs that doesn’t hit your cap, have a 2nd cap for LTIR / Buyout per team.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Seems like the last 2 days, I thought the transactions would slow down, but they just seem to keep coming. Has to be the most active TDL in a long time, and there's still another day.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

I mean, he did get a puppy.

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.

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.

Maybe something around you have to have dressed for a certain # or % of games for the team prior to the deadline or you have to be on the active roster for a new team by game 82.

I think the league has just decided to keep them their as a LTIR dumpster for actual competitive teams to fix their boo boos. More value to those owners than having an actual functional organization.

This got me wondering how it will impact the number of moves this summer.

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

maybe....Ottawa has a decent shot of making the playoffs.
Plus, even if they don't their % chance will be pretty low since I would think they would finish just out of the playoffs versus falling back.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Cocaine Bear trade:

Canes get Miller and Lindholm at 50% (Vancouver retains)

Vancouver gets KK, Coghlan

Calgary gets Canes 1st, Drury, Noesen, and 24 2nd

Vancouver asset to move Miller is retaining on Lindholm. Calgary saves on cap for next year and get roster ready assets. Vancouver gets there young center.

(Not a real trade)

 

[Derailed75]

Last 2 seasons and this one combined:
Panarin: 222 points in 178 games
Kane: 203 points in 188 games
Zib: 196 points in 198 games
Aho: 190 points in 187 games
Fox: 177 points (as a defenseman) in 194 games
Tank: 125 points in 137 games

Aho is on par with Zib for sure. Fox being a defenseman isn't a comparable, but has more offensive chops than any Canes D by a good margin.

Tank's been injure a lot so hard to assess over this same stretch.

For careers
Bread 569 games 206 goals
Tank 654 265
Aho 497 207

We are talking about scoring goals right?

 

[The Faulker 27]

How come we haven't gotten any "excited for a fresh start in Carolina" stories about Ghost? In fact, doesn't seem like we've heard anything since they announced the trade, but I'm not as in tune to the twitter as I used to be.

He’s ghosting us.
