GDT: The Deadline is upon us - please don't overpay on anything

Do we need a Deadline Thread GDT?


And on another note, it’s somewhat satisfying seeing that Mark Lazerus Athletic article where the sentiment is that CAR refuses to overpay. Other fanbases just flat out refuse to see logic and sense down to the last minute.

The Athletic Chicago:
What we're hearing about the Blackhawks the night before the...

But according to multiple sources, Stan Bowman’s asking price was too high for the rental-wary Hurricanes, who quickly moved on...
... The sense I get is that Carolina still isn’t going to pay a high price — namely, one or both of its two first-round picks — for Lehner. The question then becomes whether Bowman would even be willing to part with Lehner, and lose months of potential contract-negotiation time, for a mere second-round pick.

I was even more satisfied to see some frustrated Hawks fans in the comments saying they would end up with nothing if they refuse to budge.

There are some realizing Lehner may be great but the market is small.

Done, I'll lock the Trade/Roster building thread down for the rest of the day and re-open tomorrow.

Also just a reminder to verify anything out there about a trade being from credible sources. This is the time of year for fakery as we've already seen with the bunk Hall trade this morning and the bunk Vatanen trade about a week back where the Canes quickly Spiderman meme'd that situation.

The rumors are that Lehner is looking for 7 years on his next contract. Should/would we be willing to give him that if the AAV isn't unreasonable?

No.

Too long a deal. Most I’d put out there would be something like $6-6.5M x 5yrs, preferably 4. And that then presents you the problem of having to move one or both of Mrazek and Reimer this off-season.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Incoming stupidity. Brace for impact.

I just hope we don't get caught up in it.

Even more reason to stay away. Max to go on any goalie outside a Gibson/Vasi situation should be 4 years. Goalies are voodoo and UFA goalies are especially so.

I wouldn't sign any goalie for more than 2-3 years if I could manage it. So much can go sideways with a position where it is all on one guy and every mistake he makes is polarized. No contending team can afford their starting goalie going through a 20-30 game rough patch. Andersen in Toronto is in the midst of one right now it is ugly. Imagine that stretch coming in year 2 of a 7 year deal. It would be like Skinner with Buffalo this year but at least Buffalo can just bury him on a lower line as one of 12 forwards.

Better to collect picks, consistently draft good young goalie talent, keep goalie contract term to a minimum, and always keep some options in your back pocket.

Is is sad that I not only know what Start Trek show this is from, but the name of the episode?

NVM, I answered my own question . . .

Just figured out I get TSN Tradecentre through espn +, score. Much better than the Sportsnet crap on the NHL Network.

Don't give him that. I'm not opposed to renting Lehner, especially if Mrazek is in the concussion protocol.

I'd be upfront with Lehner that we're not talking extension until after the season ends and figure it out then. But if he wants 7 years then walk away and see if he comes back on July 2 or 3.

OK, finally found something that would make me consider ESPN+.

I'd consider the package (Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+) deal, but I paid upfront for 3 years of Disney+ at about $5/month so the package deal doesn't do anything for me.

Yeah, we had Disney+ for the 3 year old. Added the ESPN + bundle plus Hulu a month or so ago because I wanted to watch a few more WJC games that weren’t on NHL Network. Don’t use it much, but sometimes, like today, it has its perks.

Not sad at all, it's a fantastic episode of a great show. But then I could have told you this character's name and fate off the top of my head so I'm probably not the person to ask

Metro arms race as the days go on. We know JR won't be sitting on his hands.

 

[Wild Caniac]

Good lord, if that's the return for Pageau lots of stupid deals are gonna happen today.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Wabammmm.

 

[Svechhammer]

I had a guy spam my PMs yesterday because I had the gall to say that, given our injuries over the weekend, we aren't in the position to trade a 1st or any valuable prospect for a rental.

I just laughed.
