GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[Borsig]

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.

Because playing for a team for a couple months isn't a fresh start.

The team that signs you this summer is.

 

[Francis10]

Henrique or Bertuzzi please Don.

Henrique now please Don.

 

[The Faulker 27]

He’s ghosting us.

 

[Francis10]

Lindholm will cost too much and I can’t see Calgary selling off. They have a coach problem not a player problem.

Henrique just makes so so much sense for us.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Henrique now please Don.

Isn’t he dead? He’ll be a perfect fit.

That didn't stop pool party from proclaiming his excitement for his "fresh start".

 

[Brock Anton]

That didn't stop pool party from proclaiming his excitement for his "fresh start".

To be fair, he was in Edmonton where it was -32. Could you imagine?

 

[The Faulker 27]

I could not. One warm spring of golf in the Triangle and that's all it takes.

That's because he's an RFA.

 

[HisIceness]

Nothing yet eh?

Don't worry guys, I've got a rehearsal dinner tonight that I'm sure will be several hours. The Borg will make a trade then.

Rehearsal dinner for what? I’m nosy

 

[The Faulker 27]

That's because he's an RFA.

I actually think he wants to play here most likely given little Finland in Raleigh. And as Anton mentioned, it's not -32.

Family members wedding.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

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

We are talking about scoring goals right?

1) You said "scoring stats" which includes goals and assists.

2) And the discussion before wasn't just talking about goals it was overall offense. Some players, like Bread, are phenomenal playmakers that are dangerous because of what they do and how they set up offense. Defensemen like Fox are phenomenal because of how they control the play and set up offense. Aho has more goals than Marner, for instance, but Marner is the superior offensive player. etc...etc..

Aho would be in the mix with the Ranger's guys, but the point is he's the only one.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not saying the Canes, as a team, aren't as good, I'm only talking about how much elite talent each team has. Canes have a phenomenal defense and a lot of depth at F.

Where is Joel going next.

Seppuku in response to trading two 2sts for Lucic

 

[Lempo]

I go sauna.
The water heater's off, I get cold shower.
I come out to find out my shower is nothing compared to what Kings got, as CBJ flipped Quick to Vegas.



50% retained.

Gost is about to turn 30, is coming off a 51 point season, has 31P in 52 games this year and was playing 22 min / night. Coming to Carolina is a chance to play in the playoffs and potentially get a cup, but it's not a "fresh start".

Puljujarvi is a young guy who has struggled, has had ups and downs in Edmonton and hasn't lived up to his draft hype. He's coming to play with players he's familiar with and hopefully get his career back on track. It's definitely a fresh start situation for him.

 

[AD Skinner]

I feel like there’s a chess joke to be made here

 

[Francis10]

I could not. One warm spring of golf in the Triangle and that's all it takes.

As a western Canada resident my whole life, you guys have no idea how brutal winters are here. -30C to -40C for weeks and weeks on end. It’s so brutal. There is a reason no one wants to play in Winnipeg.

 

[Stickpucker]

Quick! someone else jump on a plane so we can make a move.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Quick! someone else jump on a plane so we can make a move.

Just not Spirit

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Quick! someone else jump on a plane so we can make a move.

Il be on one tomorrow at 11

LTIR till playoffs. I dont know that but why not.

I get your point, although 2 seasons in Arizona might have anyone looking for a fresh start.
