jesus. the gms should save some action for tommorow!. imm gonna put a guess out there. 25 trades involving 16picks. prospects I could care less.

vancouver should be able to make a move like that. maybe roussel? cap dump for???

Toronto is literally tied with us in points.

Are you being serious right now? Trying to downplay Tampa and Boston is outrageous, they’re by far better than anyone in the Pacific.

They are both Stanley Cup contenders. Both have had issues at various points in the season, Boston couldn't close teams out and Tampa wasn't even in the playoff picture for a while. The Metro is a far tougher division to make top 3. Toronto is there by default because the Panthers and Sabres have been hot garbage. Are the Bruins and Lightning both as good as their records indicate, or have they been beating up on 4 mediocre teams, 1 bad team and 1 'worst NHL team in 10 years' team?

The Pacific, being a 'weak' division, could still end up sending 5 playoff teams out of 8, while the Central has only 7 teams, making the top 3 that much easier to attain.

 

[David71]

maybe trade Benn for pysk? from florida?

 

[dombrova22]

Have a feeling there's not gonna be many deals tomorrow. I'll bet 12 tops. Biggest one will be Kreider as expected.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I have a feeling that Tony from Richmond will be quite devastated if he does get traded tomorrow.

saving some big deals for tommorow. avs/rangers/canucks the biggest IMO. then just minor ones after that

James Duthie is currently having a nightmare about this.

Low price for Mike Green but

Holland is nostalgic?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Not sure I like Simmonds as an option. If the cost is low then he's ok and is sort of like a younger Eriksson to me. 100% rental.

I feel like the Nucks need some d-help ... but I don't see any incredible fit out there due to huge salaries on the D that teams have missing the playoffs.

 

[Nazzlind]

I don't watch Detroit but how has Mike Green been for them these days?

Just looking at EDM's roster, I don't see any defensemen with Mike Green's skillset. And obviously extra depth never hurts, especially when the cost is that low.

on a sidenote, Mike Green was one of my favourite players during his prime WSH days. Sucks seeing him on the oilers, bleh

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Drafting Hughes and Petterson has made up for a lot of mistakes. I would say it has made up for all the mistakes. Hughes is an elite dman who is likely worth then both Thachuk's by himself. We likely got our franchise best d man and center in back to back drafts. The biggest mistakes of Benning is the OJ pick, the Ericksson signing and then Gradbranson trade. Hughes and Petterson have made up for first two, through ELC production. and Pearson largely made up for 3rd big mistake. You can now argue team is where it should be in a good rebuild. Sutter Beagle and Sven are cap issues tbd still but should not kill rebuild.

Frankly I think the Miller trade has made up for a lot of issues. Lots of picks and players were spent trying to find a guy who could be what JT miller is.

Markstrom, Miller and Hughes are the stars this year.

 

[PG Canuck]

The Canucks needed an Alec Martinez type long before a Tyson Barrie or Wayne Simmonds.

Detroit fans say Green is basically done. -32 and has been brutal all year.

What does he have that really helps the Oilers would be my question , like minus 32 I know Detroit is bad but wow.

 

[DonnyNucker]

Perfect.

 

[Nazzlind]

Edm already has the best powerplay in the league too, which sounds like the only area Green could help these days

Idk, i guess it was just a formality trade.

 

[dbaz]

i guess he makes their pp even deadlier

 

[bbud]

i guess he makes their pp even deadlier

Still need guys to play some defence so if all he offers is some help on the PP how many goals against will it cost taking that advantage away.

 

[Melvin]

I'm not sure which surprises me more, that Mike Green is still a player that teams trade for at the deadline, or that Kyle Brodziak is apparently still around.

 

[Zombotron]

How about: the fact that Mike Green had trade protection?

 

[David71]

Weird all the rumours have died down

the calm before the storm! gotta save some trades for tommorow so the insiders and newsbreakers have something to talk about

 

[Nucker101]

He probably checked out there though, he’ll definitely play better on an actual NHL team, how much better is the question.
