Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Fogelhund]

He is a guy that I had liked in the past. His AHL performance this year, certainly didn't scream... I belong back in the NHL, mediocre results at best. I guess he's depth, and he's cleared waivers and is likely destined to Carolina's farm team.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Did the deadline move up two days?

Nah, it's more like trade deadline week now.

Why can’t we ever get that FWD for D trade

Our FWDs either have zero value or they have NMC

 

[LeafsFan89]

It’s not even about being conservative, we have no damn assets. Kyle traded every pick last year lol.

I agree.

But, I think the move to be made was last offseason in trading Marner. Trevling thought otherwise.

Now we are stuck in this forward cap heavy situation for the next several years with everyone and their NMC.

Time and players keep running out...

 

[Menzinger]

Heard Mittelstadt was on the block for a while now.

Sabres don't want to pay his raise.

I've always liked him. I think the sabers end up with probably the better asset in the long term, but a good move by Colorado I think too

 

[Leaffan1991]

I wouldn't get your hopes up for Parayko to be dealt before Friday.. Way too much money to move in/out in the regular season.

 

[ULF_55]

Our FWDs either have zero value or they have NMC

I wouldn't say zero value, just not enough value.

Or perhaps nothing Treliving likes so far.

Not if Brodie is going the other way. IMO if im
Toronto I find a way to move Liljegren and Brodie in a deal to St. Louis for Parayko and a depth forward.

Robertson, Brodie, Liljegren, prospect for Parayko / Kyrou would be amazing. One could dream

 

[Gabriel426]

For about 10mins, I really thought Sid is heading to Avs. Maybe that will happen too. Lol

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Respect to Colorado.

We always say "You can't trade X because..." (usually in reference to a star player or someone the fan base likes) but Colorado gave zero f***s and traded Byram.

I've always liked Byram and thought he was part of the Avs future, but his play has regressed (granted, he was playing on his off side at times) and their needs at C outweighed the D. Avs did well in this trade for sure

Not sure how Byram will fit in Buffalo given what they already have

 

[The Podium]

I've always liked him. I think the sabers end up with probably the better asset in the long term, but a good move by Colorado I think too

Byram has had 3 concussions since entering the league. Just getting out from that risk makes it’s a good deal for Colorado.

 

[1specter]

Sakic is a beast. The foresight that man has is incredible, his team is now set down the middle and Sean Walker helps mitigate the loss of Byram, even if it was a bit of an overpay, and he got rid of RyJo's cap in the process too.

Time and players keep running out..

We’re not making a big move… do we really want Dumba? A first for Savard? I rather stand Pat

 

[Gabriel426]

Robertson, Brodie, Liljegren, prospect for Parayko / Kyrou would be amazing. One could dream

That’s hard to do in season.

Parayko will be an off season move.

Just don’t think Parayko is the missing piece for the Cup this season.

And they moved Johansen + a 1st for Walker

Very aggressive from the Avs.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Thank f*** we can end the Comtois talk. Now someone go and grab Peeke, please.

 

[1specter]

Respect to Colorado.

We always say "You can't trade X because..." (usually in reference to a star player or someone the fan base likes) but Colorado gave zero f***s and traded Byram.

This is what makes Sakic great. He doesn't get too attached to guys and his goal is to always make the team better and not get stuck in bad contracts or ruin the team's cap or flexibility to make moves. Guy is always thinking multiple steps ahead.

 

[Rare Jewel]

A bit strange for Buff

Their LD was still pretty well set up unless they've soured on Power.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I agree.

But, I think the move to be made was last offseason in trading Marner. Trevling thought otherwise.

Now we are stuck in this forward cap heavy situation for the next several years with everyone and their NMC.

What a baptism of fire that would've been for Treliving. In the job a few weeks and bam, trade Marner.

 

[FerrisRox]

Did anyone watch him play for the Rangers in the playoffs last year? He was bad.

He had three goals in seven games for the Rangers, good for second on the team. That's your idea of bad?

 

[All Mod Cons]

Time and players keep running out...

There are a shit ton of players in the NHL. Over 600.

 

[Gabriel426]

Rojo is already on Waivers, lol.

 

[Evilhomer]

That’s hard to do in season.

Parayko will be an off season move.

Just don’t think Parayko is the missing piece for the Cup this season.

I tend to agree. In addition, what is St. Louis' motivation to move him right now when more options may be available at or around the draft?
