GDT: The 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Thread | March 8th | 3:00 pm ET

[Felonious Python]

Caps and Canucks are done. No contract for Phil Kessel.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Let's assume that Duclair and Dumba play well for us and we want to re-sign them. What do you think the haul would be?

 

[RussianGuyovich]

This is a missed opportunity

[ccman68]

hertl is on an awful contract until 2030 i have no idea how that’s supposed to work

Step 1. See if Hanafin is UFA, he takes #1 priority. If available sign him.
Step 2. See if you can somehow get rid of Sheary
Step 3. Ask Stamkos for discount based off how much money we have left
Step 4. Duclair for 2.5 x 3
Step 5. If no Hanafin sign a dman not named Matt Dumba

hertl is on an awful contract until 2030 i have no idea how that’s supposed to work

Thats an after they win b2b cups problem

I don't think Vegas are interested in how the cap works.

You need to build a bridge and get over hanifin

 

[DistantThunderRep]

And the crowd goes Mild

 

[The Gongshow]

JBB frantically trying to scramble to add a 2028 4th and a 2030 6th to the deal

 

[JTBF81]

So after hearing everywhere that Tampa didn't have the assets for Hanifin and that's why he wouldn't end up with them, he ended up going for a '26 1st, meh dman and either a 2nd or a 3rd....yeah, but please continue with how Tampa didn't have the assets to get him lol.

 

[LightningStrikes]

The 2027 pick made me think: When does the league step in? Can you trade a 3000 pick?

Until he's signed anything is possible. My hopes died when he went to Vegas. But I do think JBB is banking on him being available in the summer

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Vegas is taking on 6 years or Hertl at like $6.7M. Wonder if Hanifin refused to sign. Does that take them out?

 

[Zwui21]

Haven't checked, and haven't seen how much retentions there will be in the Hertl trade, but it's a positive for us.

 

[Felonious Python]

I've thought about pick churning. Like trading all the picks in the 2100's for a guy, and then in 2100 when you need picks, trade all the picks in the 2200's, etc.

 

[ccman68]

not like anything we did was gonna win us the cup. and not like we had anyone to sell with value other than stamkos so that wasn’t much of an option.

as long as we re-sign duclair i’m fine with what we did. try again next year

 

[JTBF81]

July 1 can't get here fast enough, especially if Hanifin is still not signed.

Hertl is gonna cost VG over 6M per

I'm not optimistic about next year, potential for the 18 wheeler to go off the cliff, as Brian Burke would put it.

 

[Felonious Python]

SJ is retaining for 6 years.

 

[Master P]

Every day he goes unsigned is good news for us.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

SJ only retaining 17%. 6.75M per for Hertl for like 6 years.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Vegas gave out jeannot money for hertl, who i am not that big on anyway
