2 more days of this crap and then we can all finally move onto something new

The suspense is killing me.

The suspense is killing me.

It’s making me borderline neurotic at this point

 

[Kalv]

I want to go on a 3 day drinking spree just to make this go by faster.

But yeah, I don't expect deals to be made over weekend. Not sure if all the teams and NHL departments are even working

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

I have been actively posting here on this account for almost five years now and have been lurking here for about a decade, and I don't think we've ever reached a part 5 on this topic before. It's been a wild ride.

[WhatTheDuck]

Don't see many 6'4 dmen out there making plays like that last one

They are definitely working two days before the trade deadline.....

 

[Static]

Yeah, front offices are going to be around the clock for the next 72 hours

There are less trades throughout the season on weekends because team's typically are more likely to be playing on the weekend. Making deals is so much easier to do, logistically speaking, when you have an off day (or more) to get everything handled.

But that all goes right out the window this close to the deadline. GMs are at it 16-20 hours a day right now. Last year there were an even dozen trades on the weekend prior to deadline Monday.

Boston guys saying buffalo going hard for Chychrun. Rooting for this so we can corner the premium LD market

Dahlin, Power and Chychrun?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Dahlin, Power and Chychrun?

If you can get chychrun at his contract you get chychrun

 

[anezthes]

I have a soft spot for Buffalo (LaFontaine used to be one of my favourite players), I hope they figure their out.

Can we not get that asswipe out of the division?

I can see us claiming Myers

 

[LuckyDucky]

The suspense is killing me.

At this point I just want it to be over.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Would not be shocked if we took a flier on Myers and I hope we do. Signed for next year but big body who had a lot of promise, the fountain of Cam could do wonders for him.

Great minds. Bigger issue might be if he even falls that far but hopefully Verbeek is interested and his contract is prohibitive to some.

We are almost too depleted to pass on him unless the pro scouts really don't like him.

I just checked, his contract next year is a tough one. $3.8 million salary, I can see that being an issue for a lot of people. We've got money to spend though so hopefully they feel it's worth a flier.

Yeah just saw that as well, definitely the biggest drawback here. If they are down on him enough to waive him, and he does manage to clear, maybe a trade for Shattenkirk makes sense.
