GDT: Trades & Free Agency Thread - post expansion list

[Warden of the North]

Leafs lost a roster player as well.

Look at our roster on Friday.

Look at it today.

Note the difference (hint: there isn't one)

Now do the same for Pittsburgh

 

[Legion34]

plus McCann

you realize that’s not how this works right?

you can’t be serious.

Note the difference.

You don't believe McCann would have been on the roster had he not been selected?

 

[Isaac Nootin]

how is nobody even discussing a potential taylor hall deal for 4 years at 6 AAV with the Bruins in the atlantic division.

seriously!

I'd stay far away from Taylor Hall. This is a good thing.

But Burke and hextall who prioritize grit and truculence ended up sending two middle 6 guys out the door

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

They lost one like every other team and gained a player and a pick in a trade.
If you net it out, Leafs lost two players and a pick. Pens lost a player and gained a pick.

If you net it out the Leafs lost a long shot prospect and a 7th. The Pens lost two roster players and gained above noted assets.

I love how suddenly Hallander is now somehow a long shot prospect as though he's a 24yo 7tth rounder.

Perspective…….

he wasn’t?

who talked about hallander? Like ever?

I mean sda and hollowel get more hype here. Durzi and grundstrom?

do you actually think that’s how it works?

You got to follow the Team Dubas narrative, also just in McCann wasn’t a very good player, good thing the Cracken selected him……..

 

[ToneDog]

Look at our roster on Friday. It sucked

Look at it today. It still sucks

Note the difference (hint: there isn't one) It sucks

Now do the same for Pittsburgh Makes no difference to us.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Google him to find his age and draft position.

Then have a look at the excellent season he put together in the SHL.

Should answer your question.

 

[Warden of the North]

Do you think the trade gets done if the expansion draft isn't happening?

Not a long shot prospect, but also one that is far from irreplaceable.

His production stalled. He had solid underlying numbers though, so it was promising, but he did not exactly have an "excellent" season.

Holmberg had a similar regular season but followed it up with an outstanding playoffs. Hallander did not do that.

 

[TML Dynasty]

Why couldn't they?

Also, injuries don't happen? Depth isn't good to have?

I guess they still could but doesn't seem to put them in a position to succeed. Would be nice to have a little experience beside them. Depth is great to have and we finally seem to have some.....but I was hoping to see them get steady minutes instead of being yoyo'd again. Build confidence instead of thinking theyll be out with any little mistake.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Calling him irreplaceable would be as asinine as saying he was a longshot, neither of which I did

 

[Nylanderthal]

do you actually think that’s how it works?

Sadly, probably

 

[rumman]

He was a can’t miss asset when boy wonder acquired him, then suddenly he was garbage once traded. The sheer devotion that Dubas can do no wrong is mind boggling.

They've been pro's for years and there's a plethora of experience on defense and on the team. They'll be fine.

Better than every player being a piece of shit when we get them and then turning into gold when we get rid of them...

Its true 2 rookies on defence paired together may be fine. I like your confidence and hope youre right.

Yeah I dunno, I'd say being one of only five <21 year olds among the top 77 skaters in pts in the SHL pretty impressive, with four of those guys being arguably more highly touted players.

Opposite side of the same coin.

 

[al secord]

Who did we lose to Vegas who instantly became a blue chip?
