Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Menzinger]

It's very admirable how they keep making these big deals

 

[Jozay]

Vegas is incredibly run.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Vegas is Unbelievable.

 

[Clark4Ever]

It seems the Parayko rumors don't have any substance based on what I heard on the radio on the drive home from work. His agent hasn't even been approached yet regarding a no trade clause waiver. Things can change of course, but it seems unlikely at this point.

If we make another move, I think it will likely be a lower cost acquisition for a RHD like Matt Dumba. Without giving up a 1st or any of our top prospects (which I am ok with at this stage), we can't expect to go big game hunting, nor should we.

 

[SprDaVE]

Vegas is in a wild card spot. They likely won't slide out and that's a good add but I hope for them it works out.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bruins would resuscitate Lindholm’s season. Bad enough Zacha cooked us, a rejuvenated Lindholm would basically guarantee a victory over us.

 

[TMLAM34]

Hanifin to Vegas… Wow just wow.

 

[stickty111]

Vegas is Unbelievable.

Vegas is what users would do on video games. Love it

 

[MarMarSab3]

We are the f***ing toronto maple leafs yet we are constantly second tier, second tier GM second tier head coach, second tier everything ffs

 

[BertCorbeau]

Vegas is just a kid playing NHL

Hanifin had a NMC or something too, he controlled his destination

Just glad he did go to Florida or Tampa

You’re right, we are the Toronto Maple Leafs… Aka the laughing stock of the league.

Sabres trying to build right from backend out. Having Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson and now Byram. That’s a great group of young dmen.

It's a weird trade. Byram goes from 3LD on the Avs to 3LD on the Sabres. I'm not exactly convinced Middlestadt will solve Colorado's 2C issue they've had since Kadri left.

I feel like Byram still could've fetched the Avs more of a sure thing at centre.

 

[Da Mash]

i think its going to be savard and leafs give up their 1st .. not saying i agree with it

we are in a corner right now

Savard doesn’t help…and won’t get us out of the corner

 

[Stand Witness]

Vegas literally the proof that you can make deals in the NHL, you just need to do it.

Also man that turned quick. Basically came out of nowhere.

 

[1specter]

I'm getting real tired of everyone wanting to only play for the Panthers, Lightning or Knights

 

[jiggy35]

Being unrealistic…
Parayko for Brodie + Timmins in a 3way where Brodie is flipped at 50%

Guentzel 50% for 1st + Kampf + something

Guentzel - Matthews - Marner
Bertuzzi - Domi - Nylander
Knies - Tavares - Jarnkrok
McMann - Holmberg - Robertson
Gregor - Reaves

Rielly - Parayko
McCabe - Liljegren
Benoit - Lybushkin
Gio or Lagesson

6k in cap space with 23 man roster

 

[All Mod Cons]

All those years of us adding fringe pending UFAs at the deadline. Could you imagine us if we'd actually have added 2 bona-fide good players with term or an extension in place?

 

[Jmo89]

Bruins would resuscitate Lindholm’s season. Bad enough Zacha cooked us, a rejuvenated Lindholm would basically guarantee a victory over us.

I don't doubt this at all, but Debrusk has always burned us as well.

The salary cap has made the better weather destinations the place to play in unfortunately.

I wish the NHL would add a luxury tax to a certain point that way big markets that generate more money get some kind of benefit.

Parody

Seriously though, the tax situation needs to be looked at.

No state income tax is a huge incentive for players.

 

[Da Mash]

People believe trading for Savard is going to make a difference.

Another bum the habs trade that is overhyped

 

[Amadeus]

wonder what they gave up to get him. What do they even have to give ?

 

[MarMarSab3]

Korczak has to be in it

I don't think Treliving is stupid or desperate enough to give up a 1st for Savard. At least I hope not.
