GDT: Trade Deadline Day Discussion

[Erdinger]

Who would've thought different people would have differing opinions?

Leafs fans are apparently just one massive entity

 

[SeaOfBlue]

This is odd.

Carolina trades Cliff Pu to Florida for Future Considerations.

Florida trades Tomas Jurco to Carolina for Future Considerations.

So they owe each other future considerations lma

Jurco was on an AHL deal. So this is the deal that had to be done. It was the same thing with the Baptiste-Clark deal yesterday.

It's essentially Jurco for Pu, and likely a way for Carolina to open up a contract spot both now and in the long term. That says something.

Pu has really fallen off a cliff quickly. Pun intended

 

[MoreMogilny]

They narrowly beat us, Freddy had a bad series he will be better, added Tavares, added muzzin, naz won’t miss 3 games. If not for a collapse in game 7 we win that series and there’s not talk of the bruins.
I didn’t say roll over.

No, but not being the least bit scared?

I think that your reasonings just account for our shortcomings and not any opportunities the Bruins had to compete better.

I think there’s quite a disconnect from reality to suggest we shouldn’t be worried about the Bruins.

 

[ToneDog]

How are you comparing the Leafs team from 2013 to be the same as the Leafs team in 2018?

Who is comparing? It is a fact that they beat us the past two series. The Bruins have to be confident that they can beat us. Let's hope they are overconfident.

 

[Notsince67]

I was talking about Dougie Hamilton in the post of mine you quoted

Ahhh. gotcha, My apologies

 

[thewave]

Nothing interesting yet? Dubas is the trader man, lets see some big news!

He would do in a pinch though.

It is only conjecture that the Bruins are looking past us. We are fixated on the Bruins in round 1. I doubt the Bruins are fixated on us. TB is awaiting the winner but I do not even think that far ahead often. After that it could be Wash or Columbus. Get past them an we are looking at Calgary, Winnipeg or Nashville.

I would assume no NHL team would look past anyone in the playoffs.

 

[81Leafs50]

I would love for the Leafs get Zucker

 

[Durrr]

Dont mind the PM making an appearance. Harper, Trudeau, we're all hockey fans.

Seriously, I don't get why people care so much about things like this. Don't agree with his politics, who cares. He's obviously on there as a hockey fan.

Couldn't stand Harper's politics myself, but I read his book on hockey and enjoyed it.

A replacement for Ferland

Ooooh.

Thought Jurco was an NHL deal.

 

[CelticDruid]

Justin’s insight on hockey the same as politics... empty

Makes a good bobblehead doll though.

 

[Dog]

I want Pk Subban or Colin Miller or some bigger upgrade on right shot defenseman.

 

[Bluelines]

Jonathan Huberdeau is listed as trade bait by TSN, he would look great on Matthews wing. His defensive game would drive Babcock nuts but he is an elite PP guy and can play with Tavares or Matthews and be a legit 25 to 30 goal scorer with those guys as his center.

 

[Erdinger]

Now we need a John Tory interview where he could speak for 15 minutes and say absolutely zero

 

[Faltorvo]

I would assume no NHL team would look past anyone in the playoffs.

In the sense of "who they try to target today"

i would say that is VERY possible

The Bs may focus on adding to deal with Tbay or Wash

 

[56 Years No Cup]

It breaks my heart to have to celebrate with fire breathers who like to ***** about everything and then root and celebrate when they win. Go cheer someone else pls

Chuckle.

Exactly.
We still need to prove we can get by the 1st round and some entitlement attitudes need to be checked.

We have a good team but I feel we are still missing some key areas. Boston is going to be a tough 1st round matchup. We will need a full consistent effort possibly doing some things we aren’t comfortable doing to win.

To be clear, I was speaking of opposing teams fanbases.

 

[SweLeafsFan]

Did I hear correctly? You have a habs fan running the country?

 

[ToneDog]

I would assume no NHL team would look past anyone in the playoffs.

I can see division winners looking past the first round. It may not be the wise thing to do but elite team do it and it is why some lose.

 

[Macallan18]

So is it 3 pm yet? Not really expecting anything.
But shiny new toys are always fun!

 

[Sypher04]

They have dusted us off in the last period of game #7 the past two series. Let's hope they are looking past us. Our best players need to walk the walk this year. Their best players have.

Last year yeah, however, I'd say 2013 is completely irrelevant.

Yessir.

"The powerplay will fix itself."

Same with Harper. Why have politicians on sports shows?
