GDT: 2018 Trade Deadline Thread

[Flowah]

We absolutely NEED a top 8 pick. The talent drop after that is pretty substantial.
I’m sure Ken Holland agrees.

The talent drops off a clip after the top3. Even the top1 really separates itself from the rest of the 1st round.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Have to assume Karlsson is holding all this up. Just need the first domino

 

[Frk It]

We are walking a fine line. We want to stay competitive, we want a good environment for our players. I get what Holland is saying and I’m in.

The problem? We can’t win enough games to make the playoffs. We absolutely NEED a top 8 pick. The talent drop after that is pretty substantial.
I’m sure Ken Holland agrees.

If he does, he needs to try and do something about it.

Probably very unlikely Karlsson is traded today.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Trade green to Tampa for their first

Trade Tatar and ouellete to Nashville for their first and some B level prospect

Trade Nyquist plus AA plus Tampas 1st plus Ottawas 2nd to Ottawa for Karlsson and Ryan

Just being crazy here

You're crazy.

We're only 5 points out of a playoff spot.

BUY BUY BUY!!!

I'm getting a feeling we are not going to be sellers....and it's making me nauseous.

Run down to Howe and take a few laps. Should help with the nausea.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Green and Glendening for Hajek and 2018 1st. Let's do this.

 

[TheMule93]

the lightning suck in faceoffs, he would be good for them

Is this a suggestion or did this happen?

Suggestion.

Probably, but even if GMs know that, you have to assume they’ll exhaust every possibility

 

[datsyukfan]

Sounds like CHI/NASH working on something...Ryan Hartman is someone who interest the Predators

Would probably move them away from Tatar

 

[WingsMJN2965]

This is painfully boring right now.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Don’t believe any trades unless there’s multiple of the same one or a new thread

 

[jkutswings]

Yep. I think as far as defensive dominos, it's trying to sort out Karlsson, then giving up and trying to sort out McDonough, then giving up and going after Green as a Plan C.

Hopefully somebody likes him enough to nab him as a Plan C today.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Green and Glendening for Hajek and 2018 1st. Let's do this.

Works for me, I was pretty much ready to post the exact same thing.

 

[datsyukfan]

I don’t see Karlsson going I think we are waiting on McDonough. I hope he goes to the leafs and that will force Stevie’s hand to come to green because the leafs make a massive improvement

 

[SoupGuru]

Tampa knows first hand what Glendening is capable of

 

[TheMule93]

leafs trading marner+ or nylander+ for mcdonut makes too much sense. They would continue to have an elite offense, but their defense would go from average to great

I don’t even see them having to give up Marner or Nylander

maybe liljegren and a pick? Kapanen is another decent asset, though the rangers would probably love to get a d prospect back

 

[Redder Winger]

What happens to Ottawa ticket sales if they move Karlsson?

 

[datsyukfan]

I could see liljegren and a 1st or maybe kap +1st +2/3
