GDT: 2021-2022 Trade Deadline frenzy

[nammerus]

f*** off, man. Starting to get pissed at Sakic sitting on his hands.

Brisebois is next level. Sakic, not so much.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Peanuts

 

[JLo217]

Sakic just prepping his basic we are don’t post conferences with the copywriter for KSE.

While Tampa goes for it again, Sakics “next year patience” is as strong as ever.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Tampa stil has their 2022 1st to use if they want

f*** off, man. Starting to get pissed at Sakic sitting on his hands.

Same story every year, acts like he will go all in and then trades for some random replacement level guy and calls it a day. Shocked we even got Manson.

 

[Foppa2118]

Copp is an excellent 200ft player who plays physical, wins draws, and plays all positions and all situations. He's Winnipeg's leading PK'er. On pace for 52 points across the last two seasons. He would elevate our 3rd line A LOT. Get him 50% retained too and he's only costing you $1.82m against the cap.

In addition to this Copp is really good off the rush, so he'll fit in well with the Avs.

He'll also go to the hard areas to score and is a great puck tipper. Both of which are qualities that can win a close game in the playoffs, when a goalie is standing on his head saving everything.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Wow Joseph is solid. I like that a lot for the Sens

 

[hughdreamz]

Solid return for Ottawa

 

[Richard88]

Mathieu Joseph is a decent player. Think @henchman24 said last year that he could be a good 3C.

At least Paul ends up in the east, that's good news again.

 

[Foppberg]

Yeah that's a pretty good price. Not sure what the equivalent would have been on our end.

 

[the_fan]

Yeah seriously, if Sakic doesn't match what Tampa and Florida are doing, he's probably not the GM who will lead this team to a cup. I mean I dont wanna jump to conclusions, he might very well do something, but I'm getting bit concerned

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Kinda like that deal more for Ottawa.

Seems like the Lightning just wanted to tweak their 4th line though.

 

[Sea Eagles]

They aren't good enough in the bottom 6. Even you have to understand this

I mentioned Sturm, Newhook and Compher. They are most certainly enough for a bottom 6. Who do you want?
So no, I don't get what you're saying. They are currently bottom 6 in a League leading team.

[Azrael89]

Joe is gonna give a first for Copp and I’m gonna lose it. Lol

A league leading team that’s heavily carried by the top 6 and top pairing D pair. Our bottom 6 compared to other contenders is putrid and we will get throttled by any team in the east in a 7 game series.. this has been the case for 4 years and counting now I’m surprised people still don’t see it.

 

[Richard88]

Nick Paul going off the board increases the pressure on Sakic to get Copp. If Copp fell through the alternative would have been Paul to put a big defensive guy next to Newhook on the 3rd line.

 

[JLo217]

Anyone wanna let Sakic know all the talented players are coming off the board while he worries about next year again?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Am I crazy for thinking Tampa maybe didn’t even just get better? I think Nick Paul’s a little overrated. If he’s better than Joseph it isn’t by much.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Joe is gonna give a first for Copp and I’m gonna lose it. Lol

I’d pay a 1st for Copp.

 

[Sea Eagles]

f*** off, man. Starting to get pissed at Sakic sitting on his hands.

Sakic has done beautifully acquiring for needs so far mate. How is he sitting on his hands. Not many other teams have two solid trades. Remember, Anaheim swallowed 50% for us, giving us the ability to acquire more. We are 2-0 with Manson (and heavily reduced opposition shots), and 1-0 with Sturm, and he was noticeable.

I like your positivity. But come on dude….

And he is slower.

 

[hughdreamz]

Wouldn’t be shocked if Sakic is waiting for costs to go down. No point in trading a 1st for the players that remain on the block.

 

[the_fan]

Sakic can very well be like Yzerman in Tampa who built the majority of the team with talent but didn't do enough depth moves, and didn't make the team tough to play against, the other GM came and fixed the issues
