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

[T REX]

Our moves are so small compared to the moves teams ahead of us have done...I mean...how disheartening.

We are trying to dress up Duclair and Dumba like they are great moves.

What a joke.

 

[Todd1a]

LeBrun has the inside track with TB.

That’s actually a really good trade by JBB well done

I looked at Vegas’s cap situation and they can easily make Hanifin work even after acquiring Hertl. $14M in cap space with only a few players to sign. They get a lot of help from expiring contracts.

lol Vegas will never have to rebuild they just keep reloading lol

We didn't give away our farm for a checking liner. I call that a success

The LA Kings still haven't done a trade since June (Pierre-Luc Dubois deal).

Kings became pawns. Feel bad for Kopitar and Kempe. Doughty can GFY.

 

[Ducati Boy]

I’m happy with what we got. Some air clearing and a couple of guys who can contribute down the stretch, with only one prospect given up.

Gotta make use of Detroit’s losing streak.

Bolts lost a 7th rounder in the Anaheim-Edmonton trade, but still have 6 of them for the 2024 and 2025 drafts thanks to the Perry, Dumba, Duclair, Maroon, and Bogosian deals. And I'm sure we still want more.

We are going to draft so many Palat's that nobody will ever forget about Drej.

I’m rooting for him! Riddled with injuries from the get-go and tons of pressure due to a trade he had no hand in. My man just wanna play hockey, score some goals, land some hits and destroy some faces. Go Tanner!

I'm in the same boat. Hope he close some asses soon!!!!

Just draft more Huuhtanen types please. Or gamble on the Palat and Torey Krug overagers who are great producers. Would like to find a backup goalie too, Alnefelt is probably on his way out soon.

Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast still thinks that if Hanifin had a full NTC, he ends up on TB.

Did he say anything about the chances of Hanifin not re-signing in Vegas?

He gave an analysis that Vegas bets on itself being a place guys want to be, and Hanifin can be swayed into staying.

Sounds like JBB did the right thing, stuck to his price and let someone else snag him.

The Duclair trade is still too rich for my blood if we don't hold onto him, but this was the kind of TDL you have if you are in our position.

 

[Soul Assumption]

So JBB decided that 1st + 2nd + Perbix is too much for Hanifin? Well, it's too much if you can't re-sign him. And potentially you won't be able to sign him because of Stamkos. It's all his fault!

So Calgary f***ed us. This is why it's good to wait for things to play out before saying it was a failure.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I imagine it came more down to trade return than wanting to spite Hanifin’s wishes. He ended up going to a division rival, if it was about petty differences I’d care about that more.

I had a feeling we had a deal and Calgary just said "Naw bruh" literally because they could. This felt like Karlsson all over again and I'm glad I wasn't wrong. Melnyk f***ed us on that one too.

If we get Hanifin anyway he should be called JMFBB

Someone pointed out that Calgary traded their pending UFAs to Western Conference teams with chances to be able to prevent Edmonton, their biggest rival, from winning a Cup LMFAO.

Tanev to Dallas
Lindholm to Vancouver
Hanifin to Vegas

Whether it's true or not, it's actually hilarious

 

[The Gongshow]

Just have to hope Vegas either can't afford him or misses playoffs entirely! They win a Cup I'm sure he'll stick around no problem.

If he still wants to come to Tampa then he'll just wait till free agency, check offers from Vegas and Tampa then choose, perhaps

 

[Rschmitz]

If Duclair and Dumba look like keepers….

Can we afford Duclair, Dumba, Hanifin, and to re-sign Stamkos?

He earns the JMFBB tag again if he can do that

Even with the cap increase, you'd need to dump one or more of Cirelli/Cernak/Sergachev. And probably unlikely Dumba re-signs regardless
