GDT: Deadline Day - Twas the night before Trademas

[mighty Stanley Duck]

stephens said buffalo is in love with fowler and have been for a long time, but that the ducks are not shopping him
if for some reason they offered reinhart right now, do you do that if you are murray?

Well im sure we are in love with Malkin...but sometimes its ok to be realistic.

 

[lindholmie]

You guys in Cali staying up all night? I'm thinking about it lol

 

[Elvs]

I'd be sad to see Vatanen go, especially after the comments about the Ducks being his favourite team since he was a kid. Not many players in this team's history were Ducks fans growing up.

Chris Johnston RTed that.

Yep, Jimmy Murphy is an idiot. He's the one who threw out 6x6 and Vatanen for Drouin. Both not true.

I don't believe it, how could this be?

It's embarrassing that the "rumor" got this much attention.

The people on this panel look like they should be pouring over the schematics of a Saturn 5 rocket.

Sportsnet just posted a story running with both rumours paine denies, so obviously that guy has some credibility.

 

[AngelDuck]

So what are our thoughts on Pirri for mid round picks? Would that be a disappointment or a shrewd move?

 

[Elvs]

Lars Eller seems like a typical Bob Murray acquisition.

 

[Kalv]

it was false, he wants 8x8


Honestly, good to read it was false

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Could you put in writing what is told there if you are listening?

At work currently so i am in no position to listen full show.

Nothing concrete. Just started listening to Stephens though (he starts at the 69 minute mark).

I`d love Eller but he`ll earn 9M in the next 2 seasons. Can`t see that happening

Listened it veeeeery briefly and yeah didn`t hear anything specific. In the morning i saw that the guy tweeted some of the Stephens quotes about not trading 1st or Theo and about that the Ducks will probably add a forward

Ah, didn't bother to look this up. Terrible contract. Good thing we can't afford it

I'm sure he does -- as a Bruins columnist. I'm just not sure how he, a columnist in Boston, would know anything that's going on in Anaheim/Tampa. None of the TSN/SN insiders know anything about us, how is Jimmy McNuggets here any different?

The fact that Sportsnet took this and ran with it tells more about the quality of their stories than the legitimaticy of Jimmy as a "source".

 

[Nurmagomedov]

Hanzal would make us a clear cup favourite, IMO. No team could deal with Rakell-Hanzal-Perry as a 3rd line. If at all reasonable, you have to spring for him.

 

[Paul4587]

So what are our thoughts on Pirri for mid round picks? Would that be a disappointment or a shrewd move?

He's an upgrade over Maroon/Ritchie for the 3rd line LW spot. But he still has his limitations and it doesn't make that line any better defensively.

They're talking about what a great job the Leafs are doing. Is this why Canadian fans are so delusional?

This is the TV I deal with every day, painful eh

 

[2faded]

Woke up at 5am to be disappointed. Don't disappoint me!

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Yeah it's brutal, everything Leafs all the time.

 

[2faded]

This is the TV I deal with every day, painful eh

What Canadian network is the NHL channel showing?

 

[AngelDuck]

Come on at least give me a Ducks rumor before I have to leave for class in an hour and a half

Trust me, living in Canada on both TSN and Sportsnet all they talk about Is the leafs. It gets quite annoying!

We should definitely consider it strongly but just not today. Fowler will soon be UFA and will get a huge rise, that is one thing many are overlooking.

The timing of Fowler needing a new contract is better for the team then the timing of Lindholm/Vatanen. By the time Fowler is due Bieksa, Stoner, and Maroon will all be gone. The only other big deals to be done at that time would be Cogliano, Ritchie, Theodore, and Manson. But with the last 3 being RFA's they shouldn't be hard to sign at a good number.
