GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[Stickpucker]

I’m seriously beside myself that they did literally nothing today. I wasn’t expecting a big splash, but at least a depth move or two.

I expected Eric Staal and Radko Gudas (physical mean sob) for Coglan + minor pick.

Eric Staal has more chops than some of our bottom 6 (sadly) and Gudas is a playoff warrior who can feed opponents their teeth. They would've cost pennies.

We got even less...

I understand your sentiment, it just seems too harsh to me...

I totally understand why someone would think this is harsh. I personally think so as well, but when you have this kind of opportunity and you pass on it, despite the owner and coach publicly saying that there were big holes you were looking to fill.... Yeah, you're gambling that the results are coming this year.

most boring trade dead line ever , its like getting excited for Super Bowl halftime show and they play a tape of elevator music.

The day sucked, but all the deals leading up to it were very fun to me as a hockey fan.

 

[The Jerk Store]

I think Patches and Kase were our “deadline deals” all along.

 

[cptjeff]

Meanwhile, two brothers just got traded for each other.

 

[Brock Anton]

They’re just going to trade back to the 2nd round and acquire another pick

I will become the joker.

Meanwhile, two brothers just got traded for each other.

Hopefully they will get the same number that their brother had so their family members don't have to buy new jerseys.

This is in no way a jab, I just want to know your opinion or perhaps you'll learn more from your source. What would have been your preferred route after the Meier trade went down (whatever actually happened)? Do you think there was really anything realistic that would have satisfied the restless natives?

I'm going to say this right now.

If this team is going to hit the next level Svechnikov needs to find that next gear. he CANNOT disappear in the playoffs.

For his development he basically has this playoff and next season to turn into a ppg+ 40g scorer or what we have now is what he is. If he doesn't show us more I'll be honest....I'd be disappointed.

How many EN goals is he allowed to get to 40?

Given how badly our PK has been in the playoffs, the downside of Gudas is he takes a lot of really dumb penalties. He's taken the 2nd most minor penalties in the NHL among defensemen.

They can just swap apartments, clothes, girlfriends...

This was said earlier by Svetch I believe but clearly outside of Burns off season moves sucked.

 

[SlavinAway]

Is there a link to the Webex?

So much for all this BS:

true but how much more fun if all those fury of trades were done today , we had what 2.6 in cap space , at least spend that to helpng another team and get a draft pick , im still surprised Kapanen and Mcglin havent been picked up on waiver

 

[Rad ChaLose]

*races back to the internet*. ”Ok…what did I miss?”

they sucked so much that this team has played the best hockey over a long stretch (from Thanksgiving) of any Carolina Hurricanes team ever.

 

[dogbazinho]

Based on who was moved and for fair prices. In addition to Meier I kind of liked Orlov/Hathaway if we were wanting to go add a D and some nastiness.

Doubt the caps ever help us though.

Seriously, in a normal year this is a President's Trophy caliber season. We're playing good hockey. Keep playing good hockey.

Cmon

Thibk how much better they would have been if those targets hit. Right now they enjoy the locker room together but have no shot at a long post season.

Yeah I know…blah blah blah plenty of draft capital remaining for next year but….

 

[A Star is Burns]

So much for all this BS:

There was a ton of hedging and nothing saying definitively that they would make a move. People just heard the part they wanted to hear all along as I've said.

 

[Svechhammer]

Ooooh there it is We Like Our Group

 

[Chrispy]

If Pacioretty were still healthy I could get completely behind this. They want to roll the dice on Kotkaniemi at 2C and see what the team they built can do? OK.

This was an unusual circumstance for this team with Pacioretty going down. They made one move that is likely for the future in Puljujarvi, and one deadline move to try and help QB the PP.

But nothing to try and help with the loss of Pacioretty; that's what doesn't make sense.
