GDT: NHL Trade Deadline Thread Part 3

[AverageJoeFan]

Winnipeg in on Hayes from NYR. He woulda been an awesome 3rd line center for us...

 

[Ogrezilla]

I do all mine on the fly beyond my imgur ones I make.

I'm getting soft with age

 

[dogthateats]

Wow Eklund finally missed one!!!

 

[WayneSid9987]

Ok, i'm up and at 'um...

 

[pensfan71]

That's a great deal for ny.

Amazing deal for the Jet tbh. That center depth is nuts...Scheifle, Hayes and Lowry...holy f***

do we need a 3rd 3C?

 

[Trade]

But he has the skill and speed they could use on the LW.

You’re not wrong, and like I said I’d be open to acquiring him, but if that’s the only deal made we are essentially throwing a 2nd~ into the trash.

 

[Shrimper]

Ok, i'm up and at 'um...

Isn't that guy just an Eklund-lite?

 

[Extra Texture]

It seems like their is still a chance ferland gets moved, it wouldn't be to us, but it would be good for us considering we are competing with Carolina.

Would be hilarious just to see them do it, and then watch them fall short of the playoffs.

I could understand if they were a perennial playoff team and Ferland, but he's been quality for them, and they havent made the playoffs in ages. Wheeling and dealing just to get something back is dumb as hell if they miss out on the postseason yet again.

 

[Beauner]

JR is probably trying to do something but I just don't think he has the assets available to make a competitive offer for a good player. At most I think we'll see a Hainsey/Streit type deal. Like a 2021 3rd rounder for a veteran dman

 

[WayneSid9987]

Isn't that guy just an Eklund-lite?

Nope.

 

[TimmyD]

Isn't that guy just an Eklund-lite?

He called Zucc to Dallas when it happened

 

[JackFr]

No Carter. He's already tumbled over the hill.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Ok, i'm up and at 'um...

I find this hard to believe.

 

[pensfan71]

Nope.

Are you sure...he said Ghost was getting traded today so like...

 

[Hockeyholic]

At this point though... who do they go all in on? And with what, exactly? They have like a lonely first, a bunch of **** contracts and zero prospects.

I'm out of ideas. As is, this isn't even close to being cup caliber. The defense is bad. Very bad.

 

[Beauner]

Ok, i'm up and at 'um...

maybe not for Ferland, but I'm all-in on Simon being part of a deal with Carolina. He just seems like the type of guy that they acquire.

 

[pensfan71]

 

[chethejet]

Look players have to go out on any deal here. Secondly, the players I want moved won't be. JJ is one, Olli injured, Kessel to big a deal right now. I actually think the deal for McQuiad is a decent pickup even if Dumo and Letang are back this week. Martinez who is the player I wanted two weeks ago is just to much of a ask. But in the off season he is still a nice piece if Olli is moved. I would prefer Pens add someone to keep teams from running the Pens stars and leave it at that.

I can see us going hard at Pesce and Faulk

 

[AverageJoeFan]

do we need a 3rd 3C?

Yeah like 1.5 years ago...lol

I was thinking of instead of grabbing what we did essentially.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

No Carter. He's already tumbled over the hill.

Yeah I was reading that Ryan Wilson blurb posted above and I usually don't agree with the guy too often but found myself nodding along to his points.

Until I got down to the part where he suggested it would be wise to hold on to the first rounder for a deal like Jeff Carter or Eric Staal.

At which point I remember why I so often don't agree with Ryan Wilson.

Here's RW's prescription for deadline day for all you RW fans out there...ha...conclusions: don't do anything stupid JR

HockeyBuzz.com - Ryan Wilson - What does a successful trade deadline day look like for the Penguins?

I like the sentiment about aligning contracts/age with the Sid & Geno window. This works in our favor as teams are more likely to sell their 30+ players. For those that are obsessed with getting younger - don't know what to tell you. Young speedy wingers are out there, but we don't have what it takes to get them... getting a 30+ year old though? That shouldn't prove very difficult. And with 87/71 in their 30s, I don't see an issue with bolstering the lines with guys of similar age.

Getting a player like Carter, or Keith from Chicago rubs so many people but I'm not sure why. We've got a solid 4-5 seasons of our two generational talents being able to hold a production line all to themselves before we fade into the sunset. Those two players are absolutely saturated with playoff experience and could come in with no training and carry the torch of their positions.

As for the summer, once again - for the third summer in a row - we need to address Maatta's upgrade as the 3/4 D, our 3C, our 4C, and now somehow jettison Johnson.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I’m really afraid that we are going to lose Blueger today. He’s going to be a throw in prospect in a trade that will make all the difference.

I often find I don't agree with him when it comes to just posting purely stats from analytics. I use them sometimes but there is more to it than simply that.
