Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Commander Clueless]

Savard, Bogosian and Dumba?


....Let it ride....

Pretenders

Pretenders

If they decide to put in an effort they can beat Boston, I don't think one game in March is going to make a difference in the playoffs

 

[ToneDog]

Bogo can't play top line minutes. More wasted assets if he is your man.

 

[Sypher04]

Bogo can't play top line minutes. More wasted assets if he is your man.

Bogosian makes very little sense. Basically guaranteed you won’t be able to re-sign him.

Wrong, it decides everything. Pack up the season and go home.

On the trade front, Savard would be a good add, but hard to imagine giving up a first round pick for that guy.

 

[LeafSteel]

Jensen + Dowd in the same deal and call it a day.

I’m good with this, particularly if Washington retains some on Jensen.

He could be a decent 3RHD for us while we try to sign a top 4RHD UFA.

Dowd plays hard, works hard, sound defensive play, at $1.3m and wouldn’t cost much.

 

[TMLAM34]

Doubt it happens but it would be real nice to replace and upgrade on Brodie.

Rielly - Lyubushkin
McCabe - ________
Benoit - Liljegren

 

[Rude Dog]

I would throw up if the leafs handed a 1st to the Habs for Savard. Maybe for Matheson. Don’t mind Jensen

Why isn't it an automatic that you come out hard to play a division rival? What is the mentality in the room like that produces a no show? I would go so far as to say that it's an option for them to mail it in like tonight that has been their downfall and will continue to be their downfall.

 

[ACC1224]

One game means very little in terms of planning direction. But yeah let’s ignore the 10 of 11 we’ve won coming into tonight.

Every team has games like this, I just wish ours didn’t have to be against the bruins…

No excuse not to show more of a pulse tonight. You can have ‘games like this’ against the dogs of the league at times, not in the biggest game of the season.

This was the most disappointing game for me as a fan. The team had an opportunity to make a serious push for home ice and send a message to a team that has beat them twice this season (and five in a row heading into tonight) and they couldn't even be bothered to show up. It says alot about the core that this happens as often as it has over the years.

Keefe more so, IMO.

 

[DougGilmour93]

We never show up to the games that matter.

Actually, I just think this team is incapable of stepping up their game. This is not a playoff team and will never be with this core.

Management double/triple/quadrupled down on this core and it was a huge mistake. We have a bunch of baby wannabe men that are running the show.

Keefe is a figure head and lost the room eons ago. Shanny just keeps him around because he knows it’s the core that is really running the show.

Bring in someone like Berube and the players would stop playing, that’s just this generation. Don’t want to work hard for anything.

 

[Taylor Halls Teeth]

Dowd plays hard, works hard, sound defensive play, at $1.3m and wouldn’t cost much.

Jensen has 2 more years at $4.05M.. He's on a pace for 0g 12a. He used to have Brodie type offense but thats gone and he will be 34 before next season starts. Not really a rental and not enough game left to be relied on to give real value into his old age. Expiring deal or younger or still had offense maybe but it seems lot like trading for last years Brodie. A good move four years ago maybe.

It happens, they have been playing well lately but they threw up a dud
Just like them playing like crap against bad teams

That still doesn't mean they won't be tough out, we always go 7 games against Boston no matter what happens during the regular season

Would you rather that Lyubushkin play top pair RD? Because that is your alternative right now.

Even though your assessment might be true, we have a gaping hole at RD. I think we are going to get a middle tier option like Jensen or a buy-low candidate like Peeke or nothing at all. Tanev was the only premier RD available.

 

[WTFMAN99]

None of Jensen's tools are above average except his skating and at 34, that can go anytime.

We're all seeing Brodie this year right?

Goes back to us not being a Lybushkin away.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Our trade deadline add is the core 4 acting like they care about their teammates in the playoffs and not just their next contract. No greater add available

 

[rumman]

At this point you’re hoping to find that lightning in a bottle partner for Rielly .. someone that gels with him even just for a playoff run. Basically like Schenn last year.

I’m starting to think trading Rielly will end up being easier than finding a someone who can play along side him and effectively cover up his glaring defensive weaknesses………

34 and 16 have been thoroughly outplayed by Pastrnak.

And people think Styles is a comparable player to Pastrnak, that one this has me rolling on the floor laughing……..

 

[rumman]

All 3 players are puke worthy imo…….

I get a Harlem Globetrotters vibe from this team, too bad the Bruins aren’t the Washington Generals………

 

[sxvnert]

Rielly - Lyubushkin
McCabe - ________
Benoit - Liljegren

Wouldnt mind seeing a McCabe-Lyubushkin pairing this season.

 

[613Leafer]

All 3 players are puke worthy imo…….

Especially after already adding Lybushkin. If we're adding another D, it better be a bona fide top 4 guy.

 

[The Podium]

Bertuzzi - Domi - Nylander looked bad last night. Not a great sign against a likely 1st round matchup. As much as I like Tavares on that 3rd line, something’s got to give with the 2nd.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Dumba and Bjugstad and call it a day
