[Adam Warlock]

Less than 24 hours until the deadline and no more games left... what does everyone think tomorrow will bring? What will Chuck do?

Sweet

There's not a lot he can/should do tomorrow. There's no reason to buy and not a lot to sell. Raffl for a 3rd maybe? Laughton's really the only noteworthy trade piece for a deadline move.

The time for big changes is the off-season.

 

[CutOnDime97]

I lean towards nothing but am hopeful Laughton is moved. Besides him I'm not sure there's anyone another team would even want.

 

[The Madrigal]

Hoping he trades Laughton with the expectation being they get a 2nd and another mid round pick or above average prospect. Also hoping he can get something for Gus, maybe a 7th in 2027. Preparing for him to do absolutely nothing and say he owed it to the team to give them a chance.

"f*** us over" should be a poll option

I vote that.

An outcome that doesn't hurt us is unlikely. An outcome that helps us is almost impossible.

Which category would you put doing nothing in?

 

[AaronTrieu]

I have no attachments to any player at this point. Doesn’t matter for the rest of this year and I’m at the point of conceding next year also.

 

[Striiker]

Which category would you put doing nothing in?

Buying = hurts us
Selling the wrong players = hurts us
Doing nothing = probably doesn't hurt us, but it might if it leads to a new Laughton contract
Selling the right players = helps us

 

[Rebels57]

He'll trade Laughton for an underwelming return. That's it.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Adam, would you please add "Bend over a flat surface and get plunged" to the list of options? Thank you.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Watch this motherf***er trade Bunny just to spite me

I cannot like this post. Sorry Cap.

I will take that as a win.

 

[GKJ]

He’ll find someone to take Gustafsson. Raffl too if he wants to.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I think they’ll trade Raffl.

They’ll try to trade Gus for anything.

Possibly trade Patrick.

Trade Elliott & something minor to try out a pending UFA goalie.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Raffl should be dealt. That one seems really obvious and easy.

Don't do anything that requires retaining cap space beyond this season. Don't undersell a player because you don't want to retain.

Don't repeat the Grant/Thompson/Hanzal/Burns debacles.

That Hanzal is so hot right now.....

Why not? I'd retain on Laughton, Raffl, and Gus if it drives their value up.

 

[deadhead]

They're not trading Patrick at the TDL, that makes zero sense.
Raffl, Laughton, Braun, Hagg, Ghost, Elliott, guys who won't be here or won't be missed next year.
Can't move JVR or Voracek b/c of salaries.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Why not? I'd retain on Laughton, Raffl, and Gus if it drives their value up.

You beat my edit

 

[duffy9748]

If he does nothing it’ll be extremely disappointing. Just commit to something.

 

[Starat327]

Lose. Thats what hell do. He'll lose.

 

[AdamParrot]

Trade Laughton for 1st, or at least 2nd.
Trade at least one of Raffl/Hagg/Braun/Gustafsson/Elliott for any draft pick.

And I'll take it as a win.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m guessing a Laughton extension & maybe a Gustafsson trade (for essentially nothing).
