GDT: It's Deadline Day!

[JurassicTunga]

McKenna here we come

Is this better for us than picking in 2025?

It's unprotected and it's possible, albeit unlikely, that the Golden Knights fall off by that point giving the Flames a solid lottery ticket.

Could end up being the Flames equivalent of what the Duchene trade was to the Avs (Byram) or the Karlsson trade to the Sharks (Stutzle)

Ah so 2025 was top 10 protected? OK, looks promising then.

only in the sense that there is a chance that this pick can be anywhere from 1st to 32nd where as the 2025 could only be 11th to 32nd.

 

[joescores]

OK,cheers guys. Happy with the outcome. Hopefully they fall by then.

Vegas is still going to be good in 2026 lol they’ll just have traded their 2027 and 2028 1sts by then to stay good. Smart move by both them and San Jose to do it for the 2025 as it hurts us the most by sliding the pick and we’re all in the same division

Not sure why that condition was there in the first place

 

[DomBarr]

there must be something in the queue as there hasn't been an all done message sent yet.

They're going to have 0 depth, minimal prospects and they're gonna fall like Tampa. All of Theodore, McNabb & Hill have their deals up by then. Machessault, Chandler and Martinez are up this summer.

The 2025-26 season could very easily be pretty rough for them. It won't be a top 5 pick, but I can see them missing the playoffs

I wouldn’t be certain. Look at the age of all their key pieces, who are already commonly hurt.

They were essentially gifted a bunch of valuable assets when they first came into the league that they did very well to turn into an incredible roster.

I don’t think they can replace what they will be losing as cap casualties, and regression from key pieces with two firsts.

 

[Mobiandi]

Vegas’ cap shenanigans will catch up with them. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’ll feel a crunch even if the cap should rise a lot.

Also very unlikely that they re-sign Hanifin now. This was a good trade

 

[Mobiandi]

We acquired another Russian Dman. This time from SJ

 

[User1996]

Should’ve bet on adding another Russian D

 

[super6646]

it’s going to be a nothing trade

 

[Siignal]

Reclamation projects as assets for next year's deadline?

How do you pronounce Okhotuik

 

[crackdown44]

If Vegas is a lottery team in 2026 I’ll gladly eat my hat but I’m quite sure them being in the wild card this year is the highest that pick is going to be over the next 3 seasons

Hope I’m wrong but I don’t see it at all

 

[Bone Density]

You guys should really like Oak Tree! He beat the shit out of Fitzgerald's son in the AHL then was traded lol. Real physical player with some sneaky offensive upside even though he hasn't produced much, still not a grenade handler, can make a solid first pass. I loved him in NJ

 

[Backlund]

What's with all the Russians lately?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Conroy's obsession with Russian defenseman has surpassed Feaster's -owski fascination level

 

[Mobiandi]

Re-signed Rooney lmao. 1.3x1

 

[User1996]

Weird way to end deadline day lol

 

[joescores]

Re-signed Rooney lmao. 1.3x1

Oh ffs, not a fan of Rooney... Was minus 3 yesterday...

 

[super6646]

Re-signed Rooney lmao. 1.3x1

He isn’t worth that. 1 goal and 0 assists in 13 games and is still a terrible possession player. Ik he’s “looked” better this year, but that ain’t saying much.

Fine if he’s the top or second line wranglers centre, but he isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) a regular nhler.

 

[SlovakFlame]

Too many Russians. I think I do not like it.

Would you like it if we would have as many Slovaks
