GDT: "This Is Our Stanley Cup" | NHL 2019 Entry Draft | Part II

[Dazed and Confused]

Curious to see what this does to the market for defence with both Trouba and Subban going for less than expected. Though there are other reasons for that. (Trouba's list of locations, and Nash not wanting any cap space back).

Still that leaves you with Barrie, Faulk, Vatanen, and Green as top 4 RHD potentially on the market/ a year away from UFA. Not to mention Collin Miller in Vegas.

I'd be curious if you could turn Benning/Jones/Bear + a pick into one of those 5.

Klefbom-Larsson
Nurse-Green/Miller/Vatanen/Faulk/Barrie
Sekera-Russell

Toss in something like Manning for Reimer, and I'm liking the look of that.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Poile couldn't get rid of Subban fast enough tells me something about PK though

Holland should be passing out bochures about Lucics awesome character.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Subban is one year removed from 59 points and a career high 16 goals.

One year.

Not 5 years.

I think he was just playing through injuries last year.

You'd think that Nashville would know the scoop better than anyone. I also think that this move may have been due to the culture in the dressing room as he's been rumored to be on the block for some time IIRC.

 

[FlameChampion]

Subban is one year removed from being 1 point off his career high in points, lol. I don't think he's done.

I didnt say he was done, just said that hes trending downwards.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

It could also mean they realized Turris is a bust for them and are trying to make a move for Duchene.

IMO Nashville dun goofed all around. They never should've let Seth Jones go in the first place for one.

but Subban is now on his 3rd team in like 4 years

 

[Nostradumbass]

You can never have enough defenseman as some GM’s like to say and if memory serves me correct PK and Weber are second round picks?

Defensemen taken in the top 2 rounds by Nashville: Ryan Suter, Ryan Ellis, Seth Jones, Dante Fabbro, Shea Weber, Roman Josi, Nick Spaling

 

[North]

I wonder if Jones gets moved? Likely the closest to NHL ready of our LHD prospects but likely the guy with the lowest upside between Broberg, Samorukov and himself.

Solid young defensemen are always in demand.

I don’t know if they will move one of the young guys yet. I think they are hoping one of the young guys can supplant someone more established so they could trade someone with more value to fill another hole.

 

[Soundwave]

Man you gotta wonder where we would be had we hired Ray Shero as GM in spring 2015 instead of the cluster f*** that was Chiarelli.

 

[Joey Moss]

Hall definitely staying in NJ now. Hughes, Subban, Hischier.

The Devils still have a questionable defense even with Subban and nothing in net unless Blackwood turns out.

I wouldn't say definitely.

 

[FlameChampion]

It could also mean they realized Turris is a bust for them and are trying to make a move for Duchene.

IMO Nashville dun goofed all around. They never should've let Seth Jones go in the first place for one.

Yeah I think the Turris trades and Jones trades were poor. They should of just stayed the course.

 

[The Safe Play]

I like this trade for NJ. With that said, PK is at the age where steep declines can happen. Probably ok as only 3 years left on contract.

 

[CupofOil]

Holland is on the phone it looks like. Give me something please

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Man, f*** Peter Chiarelli and Oilers management.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This team doesn't have that cap space for Subban, so I can understand that, but also that's a piss poor excuse

 

[Goonitup44]

Hoping for Kaliyev/Hoglander/Sogaard

 

[3IR]

I like this trade for NJ. With that said, PK is at the age where steep declines can happen. Probably ok as only 3 years left on contract.

Everyone seems to think he's in a decline, but I think he'll be worth 9m for the next 3 years easily, especially with some of the contracts signed lately.

 

[Canovin]

Oilers gotta start trading with Minne

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Holland should be passing out bochures about Lucics awesome character.

Lucic has nothing to do with this

Nashville is a smart organization and they wanted to get rid of a Norris trophy winner...and he's on his 3rd team in 4 years

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I don’t know if they will move one of the young guys yet. I think they are hoping one of the young guys can supplant someone more established so they could trade someone with more value to fill another hole.

True, if we move out Russell then Jones would be next in line to step in unless it'd be Lagesson instead.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This team doesn't have that cap space for Subban, so I can understand that, but also that's a piss poor excuse

They dug their own grave and made it essentially impossible to acquire impact players for cheap.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Holland is on the phone it looks like. Give me something please

He is ordering lunch. Has to do something while Gretzky drafts

 

[Digger12]

PK was better than Larsson defensively and if he wasn't injured would of probably tied Nurse in points or passed him. That's all in a bad year.

Why bring Nurse or Larsson into this, they have nothing to do with my point.

With Subban making more than both Nurse and Larsson combined, he had damn well better bounce back from what he was last year.

 

[Goonitup44]

We should be looking into Zucker from min and Haula/Miller from vegas

 

[The Safe Play]

Desperately want to see Russell moved for picks to make a little space.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Lucic has nothing to do with this

Nashville is a smart organization and they wanted to get rid of a Norris trophy winner...and he's on his 3rd team in 4 years

No question Nashville is smart and I’m sure there’s some fire to that smoke but man. Lucic is such an anchor.
