GDT: Trade Deadline Thread

[Volica]

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't picks usually used as bargaining chips to convince expansion teams not to take a team's players.

If so, I can't see Treliving burning a 1st and leaving us with a 4th, 6th, and 7th in the draft

Does it have to be a first?
That's what I was referring to though.

 

[Calculon]

Could see Treliving offering up Shinkaruk/Poirier/Wotherspoon to McPhee to not take Lazar or Brouwer but take Bouma instead.

Barring a big stretch/playoff performance by Brouwer, I'd rather just let them take Brouwer.

I could see Tre doing something like that, though.

I think Vegas would like to ice a competitive team this next season rather than stock up on picks, and a 1st gives them the best chance of doing that. Even then, I think McPhee would rather have a tangible player with NHL experience rather than a hit-or-miss prospect.

Brouwer was brought in for some character/leadership/playoff performance. There's a good chance he steps his game up here.

He's certainly been better recently.

Iginla will wear #88 with the Kings.

Perfect gif to use.

wtf. 88 is my favourite number, but.... wtf. No. That's just not right.

 

[Mobiandi]

Iginla will wear #88 with the Kings.

He should've taken #77

 

[Flames Fanatic]

He should've taken #77

Carter?

Coaches are not supposed to have cap hits.

/playoff performance. There's a good chance he steps his game up here.

Troy Brouwer Playoff History:
98GP
15:47ATOI
15G
17A

Over 56 games that is a career playoff pace for 9 goals and 10 assists.
Over 56 games in 20162017 that is a recorded 10 goals and 11 assists.

You are expecting him to "step up his game" in the playoffs... why?

 

[Mobiandi]

Carter?

Oh nvm

I was suggesting he take his birth year for the lels

 

[InfinityIggy]

Iginla will wear #88 with the Kings.

Read somewhere that he let his kids choose the number for him since 12 is taken by Gaborik

That's fair, but Gaborik should've texted him right away offering him #12.

I partially agree, but it's not like Gaborik is some scrub.

The same thing I read said that Iggy didn't want to take #12, since Gaborik was wearing it. Don't know how legit the source is, but if this is the case then it continues to show what a classy guy Iggy is.

A large part of me expected that this would be the case. But still disappointing that he won't be wearing #12.

 

[Kranix]

Is the photo floating around of Iggy as a kid wearing his Kings #88?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Yay! We have avatars again. Made trying to find my own posts and then reading new ones after mine much more difficult.

Heh most people I recognize only by their writing style because I (usually) can't see the left bar.

So MonyontheMoney, okg, Angelsmith, Calculon and you are the only one I can tell right away.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Does anyone have #24 on the Kings? That was Iggy's number the first season he broke into the NHL. I've always wanted that jersey actually

He said that in his interview with TSN.

I could see that. I could almost even see part of the discussion relating to asking McPhee to ignore Stajan as well.

I think Stajan could be a fine winger for us for quite a while. The fact he can pitch in on C duties if needed is pure bonus.
