GDT: 2019 NHL TRADE DEADLINE - 3 PM EASTERN TV 8 AM NHLN, TSN, SN 2:30 PM NESN

[The don godfather]

Man this stempniak signing has caused a firestorm . It's gonna be more busy discussing this then the Coyle deal.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

It happens for sure.

But...remember when Iginla to Boston was a done deal? This guy could be legit, Calgary could be asking permission to talk to Stone, and another team could come in and top the Flames’ offer in the meantime.

It ain’t over until the ink is dry.

If you want to release insider info, doing it on reddit is about as confidence inducing as writing it on a bathroom stall wall.

 

[Bruinaura]

I really want Simmons, only if the price is right though.

I think he's past his prime.

 

[TCB]

I hope it's more than a rental if it's Heinen. Toffoli?

Kreider

 

[Hamilton Brian]

My wife and I would routinely take TDD off; jammies all day, Bailey's in coffee, TSN and SN flicked back and forth repetitively, and checking the internet. Then it hit a year where it slowed down to practically nothing...and that was the last of that gratuitous day off.

I'm glad I skipped lunch

He's a recluse anyway.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Kreider

Toffoli is RW, Kreider LW.

Not really. If you understand why it was done it’s pretty self explanatory

 

[talkinaway]

Examining the Stempniak signing with a fine tooth comb is like arguing over the color of the cup holders in a BMW. He's not making his way up into the playoffs - and if we got to the point where he did, we're probably fairly screwed anyway. He's an uber-depth signing, and possibly a good roster filler for Providence...they have to have a full team too.

I'd be much more willing to hear arguments about the Coyle/Donato trade, or about being angry if Sweeney can't get Stone. If Stone can't come to the Bruins, IMO Calgary's the second best option - get him far, far away from us.

If we do get Stone...I have a bad feeling the price will be pretty high....

 

[Dabruins]

This would be a great move by TB. Man their D corp would be even more of a nightmare to play against. I hope Tor and TB get in a giant bidding war over him or something.

 

[CDJ]

If they get ristolainen I quit

 

[TCB]

Lebrun in his article claims the bruins have assets the Sens are interested in and the Sens still haven't given anyone permission to talk to stone or his Agent.

MARK STONE
(Important note: as of Sunday morning, a source indicated the Senators had not given any team permission to speak directly with Newport Sports on Stone.)
I think Nashville and Winnipeg could live with Stone as a rental to start and worry about the rest later. I don’t quite know with Boston other than the Bruins have some assets the Senators really covet.

That's one hell of an organization if they pull that off. If DS knows of this ,then please dont waste your time or assets

[Alicat]

I think all of these moves are going to burn Tampa in the near future

 

[Flannelman]

What’s Buffalos’ motivation to move him? I’ve not followed this story.

 

[Jdavidev]

Who would sit from their D core?

 

[maxbme]

Man would this be a good fit for Risto. He carried way too much weight in Buffalo for a long time, but a team like Tampa could more than cover for his weaknesses. man...

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Prices seem to be going up.

I'm OK with what we have I want assets to move Backes and slot a UFA in his spot.

 

[Mainehockey33]

I think he's past his prime.

Montreal columnist has some valid points

Jack Todd: Montreal Canadiens should ignore dreaded trade deadline

I hate the NHL trade deadline. Abhor it, detest it, despise it, loathe it — pick your verb.

The trade deadline brings together all that is worst about following professional team sports in the 21st century. Crazy rumours, bloated TV panels, pompous talking heads, hysterical fans, general managers under absurd pressure to deliver and columnists (at least those who have to write on deadline) downing a bottle of Johnny Walker before lunchtime to keep from flinging themselves off the Jacques Cartier Bridge over the sheer inanity of the entire exercise.

And at the end of the day, what do you have? Roughly as much actual news content as you could consume with your friendly daily newspaper in five minutes Tuesday morning.

Mercifully, I don’t have to write tomorrow, so I’ll be reading John Richardson’s biography of Pablo Picasso, clearing ice from my driveway, going grocery shopping or listening to the Kent Nagano recording of Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4. Anything at all to avoid watching the sports networks or following along on Twitter as fans with the IQ of a turnip threaten to tar and feather the GM because he somehow failed to acquire Connor McDavid for Charles Hudon and a draft pick.

I’m really puzzled by all the interest in Ottawa’s castoffs. How do fans convince themselves that Matt Duchene, Mark Stone or Ryan Dzingel might be the missing piece that leads to a 25th Stanley Cup parade — when Duchene, Stone and Dzingel were all part of the worst-in-NHL Ottawa Senators? If they’re so good, why were the Senators so bad?

You really think anyone is giving up assets for Backes

 

[Flannelman]

You really think anyone is giving up assets for Backes

I think he’s saying he wants to send a pick w Backes to get rid of him

I could say the man has a point, or I could just point to the garbage fire that is their defense and goaltending.
