Speculation: Which Trade Deadline Acquisition is having the most success on his new team?

[Kraken Jokes]

That guy Seattle picked up has just been lights out!

 

[ninetyeight]

Yeah no one wants to give him credit.
Gp27 g8 a11 p19
Then you have vrana
Gp 16 g9 a3 p12
Then kapanen
Gp 19 g7 a5 p12

Timo meier
Gp17 g7 a3 p10

Timo Meier took a few games to adjust, maybe the injury was even still bothering him. He was down right bad in some of the first games taking some crucial late penalties that led to a loss. However he's been excellent as of late, 4+2 in his last 5gp.

That's good. Hopefully you guys can get him for about 8 per year.

Blais, Kapanen and Vrana are f***ing the Blues out of a top 10 pick.

Gotta keep the tradition of no top 10 forward draft picks in like 40 years or whatever it is.

 

[MuckOG]

Marcus Johansson for the Wild. 17 points in 19 games.

 

[dirtydanglez]

sandin has been outstandin

 

[ManByng]

looks like both the Oiler fan base and Preds fan bases are happy with the trade--that is unusual

It’s still weird to me that the Preds sent a pretty damn good d-man in Ekholm out the door!

 

[Brew]

Leafs fans are very happy with Jake McCabe. Luke Schenn has been well above expectations.

 

[Sheppy]

Bertuzzi for the Bruins has been an absolute lunatic lately. Finally seems to have chemistry with Pasta, which adds even another element. 9 points in his last 6 games, I beleive.

Question for Boston fans… if you had to rank Orlov, Hathaway, and Bertuzzi in terms of best acquisition to “worst” (with worst being in quotes because it sounds like all three guys have been well receive) what’s your order look like? I get that the playoffs is going to be where their performances really matter but just curious.

IMO the Oilers are entering the playoffs as the best team in the NHL, and Ekholm is a major reason for that. Bruins fans may be happy with their pickups but they still lost ground and still lost their position and cup favorites. Ekholm as the best aquisition is a no brainer at this point.

Hottest team in the NHL, maybe but lets not pretend Boston didnt start 10 miles ahead and stay at least 8. They are also 9-1-0 in their last 10 and on a 7 game win streak vs Edmontons 8 game win streak and 9-0-1 in the last 10.

Tough question since they all fit distinctly different needs. All 3 have been great doing what they're expected to do and then some. Bert probably has the ability to make the greatest impact. He's been catching fire as he's developing chemistry with his line mates. Can't wait to see him and Hall together.

 

[McJedi]

Jack Johnson has played surprisingly well for the Avs. I didn’t like the trade but he’s played well beyond my expectations. He’s a good bottom pair player.

Eller is whatever. He’s been fine.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Ekholm by a mile

 

[Aurinko]

It’s still weird to me that the Preds sent a pretty damn good d-man in Ekholm out the door!

Preds are a d-man factory. They've produced a decent part of the best d-man the league has had in the past decade and still have a good core left.

But they play in a weaker division and in the weak eastern conference. Must be nice to rack up points in a division without 4 100 point teams and a competitive Flames and Canucks team. Oilers are battle hardened, Bruins haven't faced any real adversity. At American thanksgiving the Oilers weren't even in the playoff cut line.

One of the few good assets that was moveable and offered a decent return.

Lowered cap and get out from under another longterm contract.

Gavrikov has been nothing short of spectacular for L.A. he is awesome at standing opposition up at the blue line which we knew, however, what I don’t think most us LA fans knew it was how good he is on the offensive side of the puck. He has shown a sweet set of hands on a couple of goals. i

He has jumped up in the play a lot more than I expected and has shown a better skating ability than I expected.

I hope L.A can get him extended long-term

Reminds me of Anaheim , same thing when you see some of the young guys they gave up on having spectacular careers elsewhere like Shea Theodore and now Brandon Montour as well with 73 points!! And Josh Mahura is now playing full time!

The second round pick Nashville got from Pittsburgh for Granlund.

Orlov, Bertuzzi, Hathaway

 

[Hobnobs]

Bertuzzi, Ekholm, Sandin, Johansson and Orlov

Engvall has been an underrated addition to the Isles.
