Speculation: Trade Talk V - Livin' for the Deadline

[Dallasman]

Vanek to Montreal

Wow!!!

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

Vanek to Montreal

Wow! That's one of the last places I would have guessed, good fit tho.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

They got Vanek for a 2nd and a prospect...lololol

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Wrong year to not go after any rentals. All of these are super low returns.

 

[Brand New Stars]

It'd be sad if Nill didn't at least ask what it would take when it was getting into the last 30 minutes for players like Moulson and Vanek.

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

But..But we got Tim Thomas! We are saved!

 

[BigG44]

Seeing these returns ... I totally understand how Robidas got what he got and that Fiddler and Whitney are still here ... Yeesh.

Still wish they had opened a roster spot for Sceviour. Can't believe with how low the value was around the league they don't add a depth D. They're one injury from Rome in the lineup nightly.

I think you guys are spoiled from Joes activity last year. Would you really want to give up a second round pick as a bubble team for a rental winger? That's still too rich for our situation.

 

[Primetimey*]

Overall a successful day. Didn't waste any assets on UFAs, will do our best to make the playoffs which was the goal at the start of the season, and stay the course.

 

[Anhero]

It will be a small miracle if we make the playoffs with our 6 current D-Men. One injury and we are screwed.

Who is talking about 2nds? Knowing what we know now .... I would not have been upset about a 5th for D ... maybe even Tallinder.

Fur sure I'm glad they weren't dumping decent assets.

Vancouver with no goalies
Winnipeg without Scheifele or much depth

This is our 8th spot to lose in my opinion.

Exactly why an additional d-man would've been big imo. Would've liked to trade Whitney but oh well.

How many years away is a 2nd rounder? 4? I just want to see playoff hockey back in Dallas.

 

[Starsfan24]

Halak to Washington

 

[Primetimey*]

But we aren't in a position to add.. keep the 3rd round pick rather than get Meszaros.

Stay the course!!

 

[TrillMike]

Would have liked getting a dman.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Tim Thomas broke HF...but Thomas Vanek did not.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Gillis seems like a very very very angry person.

 

[Primetimey*]

Jets sign Stuart to FOUR YEARS..

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

And whats with the weird neck beard

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Do you see that being a bad contract? Is he really that bad?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Gillis seems like a very very very angry person.

Probably knows he's about to be fired.

I rather enjoyed listening to Leafs GM Dave Nonis boldly declare how the market was too rich for the Leafs to do anything at the deadline, mere minutes after Montreal got Vanek for a pick and a prospect.

Its like giving Jordie Benn 4 years at 2.7 million dollars.

 

[BeaverSports]

Suprised Whitney hasn't been traded. Maybe all that was offered were mid round picks and we decided to keep him?

I noticed he got a bit of ice in the Buffalo game with Benn and Seguin, particularly on the PP. Maybe Ruff liked him with them and decided he'd be worth more than they could bring back.
