GDT: 2014-15 Trade Deadline Thread (Chat Instructions in Post 1)

[Zip15]

Given that various trades, tweets, and trade speculation is being bandied about in approximately four different threads, I figured I'd fire this up so that we could have a centralized thread to discuss the trades that happen, are about to happen, or are being discussed.

Mods, if you want to change the prefix, feel free.

Just reposting this here to get it started.

Is Andy Strickland credible? Or is he just repeating someone else?

 

[Paxon]

Who should we trade?

Credible enough. He's a Blues beat guy.

How bout we trade Neuvirth, Stewart and Mitchell for Stamkos. That's how it works right?

Seriously though I fear the Sabres may get better if they pick up NHL ready players in these trades. Lets hope that doesn't happen.

I just don't know why we won't keep Stewart, he is great at the job he does and we will need someone to fill the roll he plays on this team next year..

Stewart?

 

[Gabrielor]

Trade Nevuirth, Stewart, and Mitchell. No half-measures.

About the only way Stewart and great belong in the same sentence is if you're talking about the root beer.

I may be in the minority I dont mind keeping Stewart. If we trade him then resign him like Moulson....but to a shorter term.

I think they keep Neuvirth. Murray will not deal him unless he gets a 2nd since he gave up a 3rd to get him. I think he fits what he likes and he has no problem resigning him to a 2 yr contract.

 

[Selanne00008]

Trade em all. If I'm Murray I'm not looking to get anything in particular back, only what assets hold the most value moving forward. I'll take 3rd round picks all day if it's 3rd round picks that He thinks are valued more than a prospect already drafted.

Just flip or package the picks with another bigger asset like grigs over the summer. Boom, jump start the rebuild even quicker without losing your own picks.

 

[Beerz]

Stewart?

Is he ideal? No. But I think he certainly can be a filler for 2 or so years.

You still trade him but I wouldn't cry if he was brought back.

lol yeah "great" may have been a bridge to far, but he is a big guy that tosses them pretty good not a bad hockey player either lol

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

I am not exactly down on stewart as a player, but i don't think he fits on this team yet. I have always viewed stewart as a really good support player that contenders should want to throw in as insurance. Otherwise, trade him and get a piece that will fit on out team this year.

What role is that?

 

[sabres4ever]

I think we'll hear something by late this afternoon on a deal. Murray knows he can't waste any time.

 

[Tapu Coco]

Definitely expecting something before the game saturday at the latest

 

[Paxon]

I wouldn't be livid if Murray talks to Stewart in the offseason but there's just no good reason not to trade him. Why keep him and simply hope you can re-sign him after the deadline? We are not in a position to take those risks. We can't let players walk for nothing. We need to keep refilling the coffers so we can pay dearly for the pieces to complete our team in time. If he can get you even a 3rd + a 5th that's worth trading him for quite easily. There's tank value there as well.

My feeling is if you score a goal, you get traded

Then why the crap wasn't Hodgson traded at his peak two nights ago? ARGGG!

 

[Beerz]

Can't believe I took Monday off for trade deadline... it's gonna be a bore I bet.

I thought about it, but then decided against it when I found out I wouldn't be home alone and couldn't have TSN/NHL Network, Sportsnet TV via Internet, TSN or Sportsnet radio, and HF running all at the same time.

Gotta go full pre-heartfelt self-discovery Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men and plea it out.
