Speculation: Trade Deadline #3 - Wings do nothing, MOD warning post #1

[Bench]

I think the CBJ package is closer to
Signed Flip
Slightly less valuable Helm
Kindl

I don't think I'd pull the trigger on that.

That's my take as well. New York did well. Fair trade for both sides.

Shame, though, was hoping deep down Gabby could get a go with Dats.

I wonder if Kenny is really trying hard to make deals but is lowballing/over valuing our roster players/ prospects and that's the real reason nothing is getting done. Then he is giving lip service to the media about ''liking our team''. It's like that movie Titanic,the ship is sinking yet the band is still playing the music to make us feel 'comfortable'...

Kenny is the king of low balling. He thinks the Winged Wheel discount still works.

The Buffalo #Sabres have traded forward Jason Pominville to the Minnesota #Wild for Johan Larsson and goaltender Matt Hackett. #TradeTracker

This would be like us trading Mrazek and Tatar IMO.

 

[Kronwalled55]

Johan Larsson = Riley Sheahan
Matt Hackett = Petr Mrazek

Was it going to be worth it?

If they plan on keeping Howard as long as rumored, then yes.

 

[Ricelund]

Stupid trade for Columbus to make, but the price doesn't seem too high.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Why? The equivalent deal for Gabby would be: Nyquist/Tatar+Smith+Tootoo/Abdelkader

I'm not sure I want to pay that price for Gaborik at his age.

Pomminville would have been Mrazek+Sheahan.

No thanks too both deals.

The equivalent would have been something like Flip/Sheahan, Abdelkader, Kindl.

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

sorry but moore does not equal smith

No bur Brassard>Nyquist/Tatar
Moore<Smith
Dorestt>Tootoo/Abdelkdaer

So overall that would have been the price. We didn't have another defenceman to offer in the trade. Brassard is more proven at the NHL level and has shown he can produce over multiple seasons.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Pominville's price was too high but I think we coulda matched or beaten the Gaborik deal.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Well at least Columbus fans know what their team wants to do.

Honestly, I would take a risk on Gaborik. GMs need to take risks to get rewards.

 

[crashman]

I be rejoicing about the CBJ trade if we were going to stay in their division. They're not in a position to be "going for it", this is just to appease fans. Bad move for their future.

 

[Shoalzie]

The Sabres added a goalie prospect...
Howard still hasn't signed a new deal...

...Ryan Miller anyone?

 

[SoupNazi]

Blake Comeau to Columbus for a 5th.

Yeah seeing that the Rangers just got back the players they traded to Columbus for Rick Nash, They made out like bandits.

 

[TheOctopusKid]

I would caution when evaluating the terms of another team's trade, that we don't immediate substitute subjectively equivilent Red Wing assets and condemn Detroit for not making the same trade.

Our estimation of a player's worth is not necessarily the same value of the opposing General Manager. Additionally, if Detroit were to approach them, the negotiated terms of the asking price may have been far different than what was agreed between the other two teams.

Playing "Red Wing Player X is as good as Traded Asset Y! Why didn't we make that trade?" - is a fruitless exercise.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

the fact is, the price to land gabby was not very high

no 1st rounder, no real blue chip prospects and no high end core young players

nothing else matters

 

[joe89]

Derek Dorsett = Justin Abdelkader
John Moore = Brian Lashoff

We didn't have a Brassard, but really?

Really? John Moore is a 1st round pick who has been somewhat rushed to this point.

 

[Claypool]

The Sabres added a goalie prospect...
Howard still hasn't signed a new deal...

...Ryan Miller anyone?

At this point in their careers I think Howard is better than Miller.

 

[TCNorthstars]

Yeah seeing that the Rangers just got back the players they traded to Columbus for Rick Nash, They made out like bandits.

Huh?

 

[DatsyukToZetterberg]

The equivalent would have been something like Flip/Sheahan, Abdelkader, Kindl.

I disagree. Filppula has 0 value to the rangers. Sheahan has a likely hood of being a 3rd line C, Brassard is already a top 9 center, some might even consider him a top 6 center. It'd have to have been Nyquist/Tatar, I thought Moore was doing better this year and that he had done better recently he's on the level of Kindl but has more value because he's 4 years younger.

I'd definitely consider that, Tatar/Nyquist+Kindl+Tootoo/Abdelkdaer+2nd

Terrible move for the future, yes. All they have are 3 first round picks for one of the deepest first rounds in years.

@hosea24hours: Something happening: Luongo called off ice! #Canucks

Iain MacIntyre ‏@imacVanSun 46s
Roberto Luongo first guy off ice after practice. Unusual.

We'll see.. TOR?

 

[SoupNazi]

The Sabres added a goalie prospect...
Howard still hasn't signed a new deal...

...Ryan Miller anyone?

I was thinking that earlier.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Luongo going, going, gone? According TSN?

Co-sign this. But I think we are all just super anxious to get a least something to make us better than yesterday! I know their are deals to be made!

 

[Kronwalled55]

Isn't the deadline only till 3?
