Proposal: 10 Trades that make sense

[gilfaizon]

I stopped at #1

 

[cgf]

Just cause the sellers want Sakic-prices for their guys, doesn't mean people will pay them. Joe had to wait more than 10 months after Duchene's trade request, and his AGM had to get a third team involved, to get what he got...and that trade request was 6 months after Roy almost convinced Sakic to trade Duchene for the first time. So we're talking about almost a year n a half from the first negotiations to the trade actually materializing.

And that was with a lot less high-end pieces being shopped that the buyers could turn to.

 

[Newsworthy]

Most of these trades IMO are overpayments for deadline players.

 

[Ruutu Tootoo]

That Anaheim/Vancouver trade may be the worst trade I've ever seen.

That NJ/Columbus trade is laughable as well. No way NJ gives up McLeod for Johnson. Also, I'd rather have Moore there than Johnson.

 

[migi]

Laughed.

 

[Oddbob]

Vanek went for a 3rd and McIlrath (not even a prospect) last year. So somehow this year, 1 year older and with roughly same stats, he lands two prospects and a third?

 

[ole ole]

That is a king's ransom for Pacioretty

Problem is there's nothing there to entice the Habs. Would rather keep Patches instead of getting a bunch of unwanted/Unneeded pieces.

 

[ole ole]

Actually the Blues trade isn't that bad. Better than anything I've seen from the MTL fans

Ya good if you a Blues fan.Not so much if your a Habs fan.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Link to justifications: The New Hockey Order
Anaheim Receives:
Thomas Vanek
Vancouver Receives:
Jacob Larsson, Max Jones, 2018 3rd Round Pick

Ducks are not trading two 1st round picked players in defenseman Jacob Larsson and forward Max Jones along with a 3rd round pick for Thomas Vanek. Wouldn't trade either of those prospects alone for Thomas Vanek. The only piece from that which wouldn't have a problem trading for Thomas Vanek is the 3rd round pick.

 

[eternalbedhead]

If the prices at this trade deadline for rentals are that sky-high, I think everyone involved would much rather stand pat than sell the farm and overpay for a player they'll have for a few months.

 

[Bolt32]

Beyond horrendous for Tampa.

5 was pretty bad, I could learn to live with it though.

6.......Jesus Christ that is terrible. Hell no.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

the ducks trading two of their top prospects for Vanek is f***ing laughable. AWFUL proposal, learn about team needs before posting

 

[elitepete]

Lol Canucks accept. Have a great day.

A 3rd line forward rental fetches back a 2nd and a deveoping first rounder the team is high on him? Does that ever happen? I didnt realize maroon was jarome iginla or jaromir jagr

Boston might be offering chelerik and a conditional pick based on resigning or how far they get in playoffs

Think a return value similar to what toronto got for nik antropov maybe

[Jumptheshark]

Nope still don't make sense

 

[The Moose is Loose]

The Blues one doesn't make sense. No way Anaheim gives up that much. A Maroon-Senyshyn swap would be a lot more fair if the 2nd was dropped. Also doubt NJ goes for that.

Others look fine

Edit: Upon reading a second time, the Tampa ones are bad too

Why would you cite such an old trade? Just curious

 

[Laxman21]

Why are you all so mean to one another on here.... I simple no and then a counter offer would do it justice. Not “laughed.” Or “absolutely not you’re ****** crazy my team would never trade that to your team”. You guys are a bunch of children. So what if players are in a decline just let people put there proposals. Jesus.

Rentals were worth more than... antropov was a bigger body who benefitted playing on a bad team with a superstar linemate.

I could mention patrick eaves got a second last year as a 21 goal scorer at deadline too.

Its very hard to find compables to maroon that got more than a second

 

[Klumppa]

Dallas gives up 2 former 1sts, a 2nd and a 1st for evander kane? Lol wut?

 

[hangman005]

You've gotta be ****ting me. Quite possibly worst trade I ever have seen on this forum.

I can provide worse....

EDM Trades C. McDavid

to

VGK for Every other teams 1st round draft pick....

it's so bad I'm trading assets we don't even have, and overpaying at that.

 

[Yashole]

Ottawa says yes to 2 of 3 trades. No point in trading JGP

Yeah that's fair. My personal guess is a 2nd and conditional 3rd. Chia seems to do well at small trades.

Have to give credit where credit is due. Especially when he sucks at basically everything else.
