Rumor: [James Mirtle] All eyes on the Nic Dowd sweepstakes as we head to the finish line here.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Wouldn't mind it, Leafs need PK help.

 

[Kalopsia]

What a world we live in when Nic frickin Dowd "sweepstake" is a thing.

Guy is a 4th liner.

How many 4th liners play 15 and a half minutes a night? Dowd's one of the best defensive specialist centers in the league, going +8 on a bad team while getting an insane 10.5% offensive zone starts. If he moves today people are gonna be surprised by the return.

LOL sweepstakes lmao

Someone in the media desperate for attention.

Who even cares about the cup if we can win the #NicDowdSweepstakes?

 

[Thirty Seven]

So no one was interested in the Nic Dowd Sweepstakes? What a shame

 

[Dr Quincy]

I guess nobody ponied up for the late 1st some people here were saying he'd get.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Leafs?

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

So who won the sweepstakes?

 

[HeyMattyB]

The Washington Capitals won the Nic Dowd sweetsteaks!

 

[CanMerc]

So who won the sweepstakes?

No one….or everyone, depending on how you look at it

 

[Michoulicious]

What a blockbuster it could have been. Well.

 

[UnSandvich]

I'm told Washington is holding out for Kaapo Kakko still. I don't think they realize Drury hung up the phone a week ago.

[Fight4yourRight]

I liked when Kypreos said this guy was a difference maker come playoffs… what a joke. Guess they were desperate to turd polish with no other assets available.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Would rather have him than Henrique

 

[hamzarocks]

The stakes werw so high that he got swept out of trades

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Consider your stakes sweeped

 

[stevo61]

The media really got Washington hyped up thinking he was worth more than he really was

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Caps have him for another year, probably smart to hold onto him and bank on next year’s TDL being more seller-friendly

Or at age 34 he isn’t as good next year and teams will only have him for one playoff run, not two…and the Caps don’t get even a sniff of what they were attempting to get this deadline.

I think that is way more likely.

Was just gunna say this, if they had a 2nd or more on the table... Might've wanted to do that.

But I guess we'll see who's right next deadline.

 

[TT1]

that tweet was actually about a steak deal in Washington that got swept up by Nic Dowd, sorry for the confusion

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

He is a 4th liner. Why would anyone want Nick Dud.

 

[dirtydanglez]

i thought he would get a 1st
