2019 Trade Deadline Feb 25

[SlickShot]

I would. They aren't going to have a high pick anyways so might as well add it in a package especially if they can get a player like Stone.

BT will kick tires on Stone, Duchene, and Panarin but unless the deal becomes so good he can't say no there won't be a move on a big name.

Edit: **** BT commented today that his primary goal is to get Neal going so a depth type move should be expected for the 3rd line LW spot.****

Trades that make more sense:

• Czarnik for Maroon
• Dubnyk for Smith, Gillies and a first.
• Quick for Smith, Gillies and a second 2020
• Ferland for Czarnik and a 4th

The only trades I can see are for a depth heavy forward and a goalie if BT has lost faith in Smith.

Either Ferland Jankoswki Neal or Maroon Jankowski Neal look good on paper. Personally I would prefer Ferland.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Maybe we should have more 2nds too lol.

Czarnik doesn't even remotely hold that value. The ask for Ferland is significantly higher, and even if they don't get the ask, it's still going to be much higher than that.

Good one Darren. Should Detroit have horded 6th-7th round picks in 2000 after drafting Datsyuk and Zetterberg?

 

[Kipper933]

Nah. The team is pretty young and set up well cap-wise, we should still be focusing on setting up depth for future years and keeping high picks.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I think it’s time to open this baby back up as it looks like activity is beginning.

Please discuss deadline deals in here, leave the proposals to the Armchair GM thread.

[Mobiandi]

Never mind looks like NYR was already retaining on Spooner. Straight up 1 for 1 to get rid of Spooner I guess

 

[Kahvi]

Rangers retained $900K on Spooner earlier, so cap hits are a wash

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Does Gagner qualify as part of the Old Boys Club yet?

 

[Anglesmith]

The ciiiiiiiircle of life.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

What a time.

 

[Lunatik]

This is another good deal for the Oilers. Assuming Gagner can still skate, he'll score a good number of goals paired up with McDavid.

They have been minor moves, but I like both deals Gretzky has made for the Oil.

Agreed with this. Gagner is pretty bad defensively, but as a winger with McD and Drai he will put up points.

He signals the start of the New Old Boys Club.

Yeah I don't see this as a bad thing for the Oil. The way I figure it, if the Oil are going to be paying Spooner that much to play in the minors, they may as well be spending that money on someone who can potentially play on their roster. At the very worst, he can't and they send Gagner back to the minors and they'd be no further ahead nor behind. At least Gagner has familiarity with the city and people in the organization and would be motivated to try harder.

or less motived by the way the fans treated him towards the end

 

[JurassicTunga]

Could be a good add for the Flames imo.

 

[Anglesmith]

Watching Stone hammer a one-timer from the left circle on the PP. Boy, that's going to look good on the Flames.

 

[Mobiandi]

Puljujari is a healthy scratch. Something may be on the way

Wasn’t he sent down to the AHL to make room for Gagner?

No, Benning was placed on IR

Interesting, didn’t know that. Thanks for correcting.

As gross as it is, the Oilers need to start winning so they don’t get another top pick in the draft. It’s beyond ridiculous (but also so so so hilarious) that they’ve done nothing with all the picks they’ve had in the top 5 all these years.

It's suspected pool party will go down when Sekera is ready
