Dammit! f***ing Tampa!

 

[TheDirtyH]

What are the odds that Tampa pulls a three-peat?

They certainly just improved a bit

You got some damn good teams to beat… Flordia and Avs… Canes possibly. Would be a bloodbath just to get to the finals.

I don’t think they will but it’s certainly possible

I haven't seen enough of Hagel to comment on his play but that whole deal sounds kind of risky to me. Yes, he could represent good value. He could also be Scott Fraser all over again.

I think Copp is the Rangers guy. Utility knife player brings some bite and can play anywhere in the top nine. Prospect and a second or a marginal player. He would really deepen the forward group.

The Rangers already have Tinordi in Hartford as a depth defenseman. Have heard he may go to Edmonton though and if so, they would probably use whatever capital they got for him for another depth defenseman. Nemeth is playing as well as anyone they are likely to trade for. Not spending a 1st for Lindholm.

What the hell did Tampa give them though. It better be a large return

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

damn. the atlantic division has to be one of the best collections of playoff teams in my memory. Florida, Tampa, Toronto, and Boston could all reasonably be called cup contenders--and that's before the deadline. Florida is bulking up. Tampa is doing Tampa moves. Boston and Toronto will be adding.

Metro I think is decidedly weaker. Makes winning home ice seeding a lot more important.

Don't think Boston is a contender.

Toronto probably is one, but it's hard to look at that team with unbiased eyes after all the struggles they've had getting over the hump.

Florida and Tampa are awesome though.

 

[Synergy27]

People losing their shit over Hagel to TBL without even seeing the return. Chill bros.

Frank says its MULTIPLE 1st going to Chicago.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Multiple 1st + what ever else is involved. Gonna be alot.

Frank says its MULTIPLE 1st going to Chicago.

Yeah I mean we cannot be doing that. Not for Hagel.

 

[NYR94]

So is TB's first going the other way? Chicago doesn't have a first round pick this year (unless they win a draft lottery into the top 2)

 

[Ruggs225]

The main boards has a post that linhdholm was just traded too

 

[Taluss]

Multiple first wow

 

[effen]

We're just into silly territory tbh.

dont see that anywhere

 

[EpicDing]

Yeah I wouldn't exactly call multiple 1sts for a 3rd liner shrewd or good management lol

 

[DanielBrassard]

OK that makes it sting less lol.

 

[Ruggs225]

dont see that anywhere

Rumor: - Lindholm has been traded

Bob Stauffer (Oilers insider) apparently just said it on air on his radio show.

hfboards.mandatory.com

Though it might be a mixup that he is about to be traded.

Hes better than a 3rd liner but thats very much an in it to win it type of move.

I would have happily done Nils and a 2022 1st though. Don't know if thats any less or more valuable than what Tampa will end up giving up.

He's not good defensively and only has 20 goals because he's shooting at 23%. No thanks.

 

[JimmyG89]

Tampa doesn't give a f*** about picks. They have a shot at a 3 peat. You do what you gotta do while they've got elite players in their top 6 and a defense that is still elite as well.

 

[rangers1314]

Sounds like the 2 players are not prospects, but guys who will play right now for Chicago.

Feels like this should all be in the Around the NHL thread
