2023 Trade Deadline and Speculation (March 3, 2023 3PM ET)

[starsfan86]

The Wild got Klingberg for free. This trade was more about the Ducks being nice to Klingberg by giving him a shot on a playoff team.

I don’t think he’s worth a 4th round pick at this point lol

It’s a 2025 4th rounder. So it was for nothing. This was about the Ducks fulfilling a promise made when they signed him as a free agent. Classy move by the Ducks.

Man thats a shitty return even for how bad he's been

 

[Satan]

Ducks lmao- thats rough

 

[BG44]

Oof ... what a return.

 

[serp]

The Nesterenko kid looks interesting though . So maybe thats something

Thank God Klingberg didn't sign that extension we offered him.

That deal would have been crippling.

Andrej Sustr has a funny career path:
- Undradted free agent signing by Tampa
- Signed with the Ducks
- Signed with Tampa
- Waiver claim by the Ducks
- Signed with the Wild
- Traded to the Ducks

I think playing Harley would be more effective than any option we could’ve gotten at the buzzer

He has a UFA option this summer as far as I can tell. The player is interesting but as an asset he was a no value throw in to get the deal through. I doubt Minnesota was expecting to sign him.

Wasn't he looking for 8+ million a season for 7-8 years. OMG that would have set this franchise back years and years. Talk about dodging a bullet.

I think when you look at how every player on the Ducks underperformed, I wonder how much a terrible coach and some bad roster moves depressed everyone on the Ducks. It‘s one where I wonder if going to a better team will see him do more.

 

[piqued]

Not a fan of the Peterson trade. I think he's an NHL player and there's more risk of him doing well elsewhere than Gurianov. Ultimately not a big deal though.

Honestly the biggest plus of this deadline is that Harley and Bourque are still in the org.

 

[Kcb12345]

Seems very late for any decent sized trades to come through now. If we traded for a dman and it was Gudas, I imagine we would've heard by now

The Ducks are horrible no question about it but Klingberg was by far the worst defensive player on the Ducks and it wasn't even close. Ducks are the worst defensive team of the cap era and he was their worst defensive player and by alot

 

[Kcb12345]

No Gudas

 

[Henderson33]

No Gudas probably means we don't have anything else waiting.

Boring day but we still upgraded our team this week.

We added two top sixers for Guri, Khudobin, and a 15 year old in 2025. We could probably resign one of them if they perform well too. Even if you include the Peterson trade this deadline is nothing but an A.

 

[Kcb12345]

Sounds like nothing else for the Stars

 

[hairylikebear]

Maybe we can still get Kane though

 

[Henderson33]

Reedy isn't as bad as he seems. His rookie year last season was better than what Peterson is doing this year. Plus he has more control.

Going from a bottom 3 team in the AHL to the 6th should, hopefully, help bring those numbers back up.

 

[serp]

Still wish they added a depth #8-9 guy just in case. Someone cheap with NHL experience if injuries hit. Not the end of the world they didn't but i'm not comfortable with options beyond Harley to play any NHL games

Worst case there is Butcher, hopefully it doesn't come to that, but he does have NHL experience at least

 

[starsfan86]

Just bring Harley up.
