GDT: Around the NHL - Trade Deadline Day GDT

[Dying Alive]

TSN is making it sound like that much of the Caps secrecy is because Leonsis wants to drive traffic to some webcast announcement.

Like I said earlier, the problems in that organization seem to start right at the very top. If it isn't some major announcement it's just a ****** move to string your fans along.

Preds beat writers are saying something is up. Poille is 7 minutes late to his press conference and they haven't been allowed into the usual room.

Joshua Cooper:

We haven't been let back to the #preds offices yet which is highly unusual. Normally for press conferences we are able to be there early


Dreger:

One of theories floated....Wash has trades Filip Forsberg. If that's the case...return must be huge. #tradecentre

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Matt Halischuk for Washington's 4th rounder in 2015. Book it.

 

[mpp9]

That organization is such a joke.

 

[pensfan71]

Green seems more likely to me.

Trying to figure out where he'd go....

 

[Frederick Stanley]

This has to be something major, unless both GMs are huge trolls.

 

[Dying Alive]

Caps/Preds? What could that be? Surely the Preds wouldn't give up Rinne & they can't trade Weber yet even if they wanted to.

Old Ted always gotta be bigger than the team.. why they are in the state they are..

Whoa...

 

[Waffle Fries]

I have a feeling that I'm going to be disappointed with this Caps trade.

Edit: Nvm. This might actually be interesting..

Forsberg for Morrow. Do it Shero!

Oh wait.

 

[pensfan71]

Forsberg for Maatta?

I know its not gonna happen, but would anyone?

McPhee was supposed to go on TSN/NHL Tradecenter 3:30 according to Caps twitter to announce trade.

Than 40 minutes ago Caps twitter said he was speaking soon.

If its a small **** trade I would be mad if I was a fan of them. All those guys are probably refresing pages at an alarming rate

mind=blown

 

[pensfan71]

mind=blown

Stupid question I know, but just trying to get opinions here...

 

[Mordax]

@ryhamner Trade would've gone through hours ago but McPhee is forced to use AOL

Isn't that time-stamped like 3 hours ago? If it didn't break because management is a bunch of tool bags I would laugh my behind off.

Caps PR guy said this awhile ago:

Thanks for your patience. Waiting for trade call to take place and for involved players to be notified before making an announcement.



If it is taking awhile to get all players notified, def sounds like some prospects involved


Cotsonika:

Informed speculation: Erat for Forsberg, with some other things involved. Erat has a no-trade clause but wants out.

 

[IcedCapp]

It's definitely Washington - Nashville. Weber cannot be traded.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

 

[Dying Alive]

A huge return for a prospect who has never played a single game in the NHL? And a trade of a prospect that requires this kind of secrecy? ********. Unless it's a bigger package this is absurd.
