True. And whoever came back from an injury would be considered the “deadline acquisition.”Except Garth Snow, he would just kick the tires and in the end he kicked the tires and traded for the least productive guy on the market, he would be looking for the 2019 model of Wagner at the deadline
He had 3 more years left at 8.25 million. I don’t think it’s worth trading for

Yeah you would know from all of the time you spend in an NHL locker room. I gues Ho-sang is a locker room cancer too?hopefully Lou is smart enough to stay away from Duchene, obviously a cancer in the locker room

Isles were winning when Ho-Sang was hereYeah you would know from all of the time you spend in an NHL locker room. I gues Ho-sang is a locker room cancer too?
He absolutely is!
And he has 2 more seasons after this one.
2y /16 aav for Getzlaf or 5/5.5 for Nelson?
Yeah but Bridgeport’s been losing since he’s Ben there.Isles were winning when Ho-Sang was here
If one player is the difference between big winning streaks and big losing streaks then your team is built like shit.Isles were winning when Ho-Sang was here
well Ho-Sang is not a 9 Million+ a year player who you have to give up major assets for an is essentially going to be the face of your team(along with Barzal)Yeah but Bridgeport’s been losing since he’s Ben there.
Decline-dIs Ryan Getzlaf's contract too bad or has he declined a bit to be worth trading for.?
I liked what I heard, careful to not disrupt chemistry, perfectly happy with the roster he has currently, coaches have done a great job, basically no sign of desperation or need to make a move. If Lou was a poker player, he would give Daniel Negrano a run for his money. To me, I would not be surprised in a surgical deal before the TDL. Nothing major, just an add to give the Isles a little more punch.Yeah but every GM says this. This is a typical, canned answer.
Gotcha. To be fair I didn’t listen to the entire interview, just read that one quote.I liked what I heard, careful to not disrupt chemistry, perfectly happy with the roster he has currently, coaches have done a great job, basically no sign of desperation or need to make a move.

Yet, many want to trade for players who we are winning without as well. Would almost be like adding talent doesnt matter cause we are winning.Winning without him too
Please, tell us more...hopefully Lou is smart enough to stay away from Duchene, obviously a cancer in the locker room
deals for Duchene -
2019 #1, Kiefer Bellows, Mitchell Vande Sompel
** conditional 2nd in 2020 if Duchene resigns (it bumps up to a 1st if Isles resign and win cup this season)
or
Brock Nelson (immediately flipped), 2019 #1, Bellows
** conditional 2nd in 2020 if Duchene resigns (it bumps up to a 1st if Isles resign and win cup this season)
I just go by what I see, a player who requests a trade is always a bad player to have around if you ask me, and then he gets traded and that team who traded him does better without him and his new team does worse? we really want a guy like that around this team who seems to be doing good?Please, tell us more...
Also curious...What happens if the Isles land Duchene giving up 3 good assets, but then this summer none of Lehner, Nelson, Eberle, Lee, or Duchene resign?
Believe it or not this tells me more than not a move will be made. Lou is very good at keeping his cards close to his chest.
