TSN: Trade Deadline: what do we do!

[Gil Fisher]

Yeah he said we should be included in those two teams that have a shot to get Canada another cup. I don't think we do.

why edmonton though. because they have 2 more points?

 

[TS Quint]

Oh I've followed it....you need to follow the advice I gave earlier....the other thread is thataway

What thread are you talking about? You’re still very confused

I set the premise. I don’t care if you want to change it. Don’t reply to me if that’s not what you want to talk about.

 

[Jets]

I’m amazed Logan Stonkley wasn’t moved today. We should have taken whatever we could get

We've seen it time and time before...Requesting a trade under Chevy just means we will try move you before you become a UFA rather than try re-sign you.

Nothing here is ever done with any aggression or urgency

 

[Gil Fisher]

They have the best player on the planet coming off a historic playoff run and are in a pretty easy division to win.

a hot hellebuyck can take you further

 

[KingBogo]

I'm assuming Chevy will have media availability, any word on this?

 

[robertocarlos]

a hot hellebuyck can take you further

Well he is 7' 6" 387 lbs.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

If our intention was to "go all in", this was not it.

I did like Nino for a 2nd though.

 

[surixon]

Not cherry picking at all. If you are. 100% confident that their most recent play Means nothing and you want cherry pick25-30 games from this group over the past two + years we can disagree.

Up to this point I have been leading the go all in wagon. But I 100% believe the most recent play has squashed that with Chevy.

My point was that on the whole this year the top 6 is doing their job and the bottom 6 isn't. If you want to be influenced by the last 10 or so games when the top 6 is converting 5% of their shots be my guest.

I expect they will start scoring again and we will start getting wins again but it sure would have been nice had the bottom 6 been able to pick up some slack when they were going through a bad stretch.

Sure and a monkey could grow wings and fly. I've yet to see it this season.

No, its the jesus factor

or Edmonton could win the cup

I think it was pretty clear that was never the intention. It seems to be Chevy held onto his 1st round picks like they were pieces of gold.

 

[Daximus]

or Edmonton could win the cup

Which is more likely in your opinion?

Edmonton wins the Cup or we do?

 

[SCP Guy]

Lets sneak into playoffs get a couple of home games and bow out early so we get an earlier draft pick lol...... DO NOT win a round

Next year is our year for sure this time haha

 

[kanadalainen]

Well he is 7' 6" 387 lbs.

He's been slimming down for the playoffs then.

 

[robertocarlos]

No, its the jesus factor

Plus Elkholm. They killed the Leafs.

 

[puck stoppa]

Which is more likely in your opinion?

Edmonton wins the Cup or we do?

I think jets make it further than leafs and oilers. We have Helly.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I'm assuming Chevy will have media availability, any word on this?

You really expect him to say something specific and surprising? This will be a repeat of the 2020 trade deadline presser, just watch that instead.

 

[Hobble]

Pretty sure Chevy saw this team post-Christmas break and realized our 1st round picks were more valuable than ever.

 

[Daximus]

I think it was pretty clear that was never the intention. It seems to be Chevy held onto his 1st round picks like they were pieces of gold.

I wonder if the uncertainty of our position now has given the brass some pause. We are dropping like a rock and that 1st could very well be a lottery ticket in a months time.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Pretty sure Chevy saw this team post-Christmas break and realized our 1st round picks were more valuable than ever.

My guess - he knows PLD is gone and the picks need to be kept. Why not try for Schmaltz to prepare for it, though? I don’t understand.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

nino replaces perfetti which is a start and name is alright but doesn't bring much in terms of offense. we still need more offense in the bottom of the lineup

Nuno replaces Peefetti for now, but when we are healthy he is in the bottom 6. Exactly what people wanted, a player who could move up as an injury replacement.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Which is more likely in your opinion?

Edmonton wins the Cup or we do?

Edmonton. But you've missed the point. The host didn't know another team existed. Farber called out his ignorance, which I thought was interesting. I too am pretty discouraged at Chevy's attempt to do something with this squad. But we're not far off the Oilers as far as chances go. They are not a complete team.

 

[Atoyot]

Wonder if Yzerman was hoping to flip JVR with retention to us for Stanley but ran out of time.

My source is HFRangers. They are usually spot on.
