GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[User13452]

No moves made ya I’m upset but they did grab ghost who’s gonna help and let’s see how pulju fits in. But they got this far with what they have let’s just pray they win the metro and at least avoid the rangers first round

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

If nothing happens then my biggest regret from this deadline would be not taking Ottawa's 2nd round pick to take Zaitsev. That is depressing.

Definitely not

 

[Borsig]

I bet Don went with the Zoom call so no chance of tomatoes being thrown.

in before the zoom has a "trial version" watermark

 

[spockBokk]

Slightly jealous of the Vrana at 50% move, but what can ya do. Time to start researching 2023 draft rankings from 20-30 I guess.

Enjoy it now, because its probably not going to last very long come the postseason

That's your opinion. And it certainly could be. I'll enjoy the ride regardless, yes.

This place might turn into a nuclear fall out zone.

 

[Brock Anton]

I'd have been pissed about our lack of moves regardless, but I feel like if Dundon just didn't open his mouth, a lot of fans would be far less upset than they are right now.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

It's all how you pitch it.

We added a 50 point defenseman and a recent 4th OA pick!

Carolina gonna go out and raw dog the Playoffs, win a Cup and nobody will ever trade a top pick for a player ever again. Breaking boundaries.

Disagree. Fans get upset regardless when a team doesn't make moves they think the team should. It would be no different.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Yeah, he might choose a different term at a minimum next time. I felt it was a poor choice of word at the time given how many variables come into play with TDL. I know they were aggressive, but generally fans take that to mean results.

 

[spockBokk]

They must be counting on Morrow coming in soon and becoming Makar 2.0

 

[Joe McGrath]

They'll either look like geniuses or fools. In the end, not sure anyone will be able to take Boston, but who knows.

What would make them look like fools exactly? Only thing that would make them look bad for this is losing a close series to the eventual cup champions. If they get their doors blown off or lose to someone who gets pissed on by Boston then they made the right call not going all in for a short term fix.

Most recent cup winners have not made major moves at the deadline. Offseason? Hell yes. Deadline, no.

15/16 teams lose in the playoffs every year. Spending big at the deadline is a sucker's game.

Dundon cheap because Bally is tanking.

 

[dogbazinho]

Going to use that for my performance goals this year. Will aggressively pursue personal and team growth opportunities.

Colorado definitely loaded up last year. Tampa traded for a luxury in Savard the year before. Prior to that it wasn’t much.

 

[spockBokk]

Even though I like the Gostisbehere move, them not getting any sort of retention from ARZ kinda killed them adding anyone else

 

[Svechhammer]

the comments on all our beat reports tweets right now are just straight up pure anger.

Its safe to say the honeymoon period between the fanbase and the front office is over

It was an exaggeration. I don't mind them not going all in, but if they go deep into the playoffs, fans will forget this deadline. If they get knocked out in the 1st round or get beaten badly in the 2nd, fans will be upset about this deadline.

 

[bleedgreen]

We went into this year with a problem of replacing Nino, Tro, and needing to add a Patches. I think Nino has been generally replaced overall, but our plan to have Kk as 2C missed and we don’t have Patches. I don’t know that this deadline had the answers but it’s hard to be overly optimistic we’re going to be better this playoff than last. We’ll see if one years growth, Burns and the deadline guys are enough.

In the end this team played well enough to roll with what we have, but I do question the team building if we miss this year. I hope they don’t cling so dearly to assets in the off season.

Can we just fast forward to the playoffs now?

Good.

Just making the playoffs isn't good enough anymore.
