GDT: 2014-15 Trade Deadline Thread Part 2

[KennyFnPowers*]

have we gotten a sabres are done quote yet?

Murray presser is when?

 

[BakedBuffalo]

I'd be thrilled if they shipped us Lehkonen for Mitchell.

Lehkonen and a later pick maybe? we already have MTLs 5th from the Flynn trade

TDL 2015.. Never Forget.

 

[KennyFnPowers*]

Out:
Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Chris Stewart, Michael Neuvirth, Torrey Mitchell, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux, and 2015#1 (STL or NYI)

In:
Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian, Chad Awful Johnson, #2 (2017), #3 (2016), #5(2015), TBD Pick, TBD Prospect, RPI/ECHL Goalie

might still get that sick undrafted goalie prospect from BU too... Matt O'Connor

 

[Djp]

Still works for me. Log back in?

I log back into an empty room

I'd be perfectly happy with that return. Lehkonen and a 6th would be awesome value for Mitchell who was actively hurting the tank and needed to stop doing that.

wrong room !?!

 

[mikemcburn]

I am, admittedly, actually quite surprised that we didn't see a trade of one or more of Grigorenko, Larsson, Hodgson and Ennis. Really. Though for different reasons of course.

But I guess there's time before the draft.

shouldnt be surprising

 

[Mattilaus]

Lol looking at the main boards you'd think we traded away Crosby, Patrick Kane, and Pekka Rinne

Hhmmmm.... perhaps "surprised" isn't the right word. Makes me curious though. My understanding of following comments on TM and his tactics and motives on here is that he's a kinda cut throat type, not especially loyal, will do what it takes to build the team he envisions. From following Nolan and his whole pets/dogs routine for the last year, it's pretty obvious there are certain players he loves (ie: Ennis) and others he don't so much (ie: Hodgson, and arguably Larsson and Grigorenko, if his preferred deployment of them is any indication).

So, if TM deferred or was at least influenced by Nolan's take on players, I'd have thought that some of the guys (at least Hodgson) who Nolan has issues with would be tossed out at the first chance. And despite having signed Ennis himself, TM seems to be going for a heavier/bigger team, so I could have seen him make use of Ennis in a trade (for sure better return than Stewart got him).

Yeah, not "surprised", more curious. As in curious what TM has in mind for these guys going forward, how they fit (or don't fit) into his bigger picture.

OMG! TM likes Nolan after all! He got his coach a new 1st line center -

(Hamilton) "TSN in Mont says the prospect in the Mitchell trade is Joonas Nattinen. He's 24 and was a 3rd rd pk in 2009. The center played one NHL game"

 

[Moskau]

Ducks basically going the complete opposite of the 2005 Sabres. They probably have 2-3 defensemen that will be in the press box for the playoffs that would be in our top 4 this season.

I think he's playing in the SHL already. If Nolan is here next year, then yeah.

I don't know anything about Joonas Natinen other than him being listed as a centre on HF with a 7.0 D grade playing in Europe. FWIW our 7.0 D graded forwards include Karabacek, Olofsson, Catenacci, Carrier, and Possler.

Turns out its not Nattinen we got though. It's worse.

All you need to know is he isn't part of the deal. It was Jack Nevins a 21 year old AHL fighter

 

[Sabre the Win]

I know people love these trades for the immediate future but long term I see a problem. No goalie, less insulation for the kids, hard working motivational leaders gone.

 

[omglolnub]

Kinda funny that Flynn got a better return than Mitchell..to the same team, no less.

Longterm? You realize Stewart and Mitchell weren't going to be here "long term" right? Neuvirth could always be brought back. Or Enroth. Or any other UFA goalie. Flynn is the only "long term" loss in any way shape or form. These trades actually hurt the team "for the immediate future" but help long term.

K, so the tweeters got the name wrong, doesn't matter - a center, a wing, drafted 3rd round, undrafted, 24 years old, 21 years olds, doesn't matter - still sounds like Nolan's new 1st center!
