Post-Game Talk: Trade Deadline Day

[HellasLEAF]

Who from the 2-10 range got better?

NYR made some lateral moves. WPG, Mon, NJ, NYI didnt do anything.

All Ottawa did is get conacher.

Boston is the only one that got significantly better with jagr.

Other teams have made moves even before the deadline. We have a plethora of assets. A top 4 d, playoff calibre center man were all needs not addressed. I'm not gonna bring up goaltending as I like Reimer for now.

I am with you, I just hope they dont go in and get crushed. It's a bigger concern for me then anything with their confidence. It's a reason I wanted to see a top 4D and Playoff C as well.

 

[SpeakerForTheDead]

We added Lupul. I'm happy with that.

Still feel good about the day, though.

We didn't do anything stupid.

So that's a plus

The Leafs may have missed out on some free wallets , but did come away with a free purse.

I chose neutral because it neither excites or disappoints me. The move to pickup the defenceman is good because going into the playoffs you can never have enough, and the price was right. The guy will probably play better with Carlyle's influence, and he'll give us some injury insurance. Having said that, it's nothing to be excited about. Of all the players that moved, the one I'd want most would have been Hackett who went to Buffalo but he moved because Minnesota wanted Pomminville, so I can't be too upset. Other than him, there weren't any players moved who I thought would significantly improve our team so it's probably good we didn't make many moves.

Rielly for Erat, anyone?

 

[FifthLine]

Rielly for Erat, anyone?

exactly.

 

[ACC1224]

Overall neutral.

Disappointed they didn't get someone to play with Phaneuf.
Ecstatic they didn't bring in Luongo.

 

[pspot]

Nice first game by Brassard
will be interesting to see how he does on a new team
I know some people were always high on him

 

[Clark4Ever]

We got two solid top 9 guys that will bolster our lineup in MacArthur and Komarov.

 

[Yosho]

Burke; Kadri + Bozak + 1st " Where do I sign?"

Nonis: Scrivens 2x 2nd Rounders " No Thanks"

Nice try.

 

[Warden of the North]

Very odd deadline. The gap in asset value for selling teams wasnt much different for stars like Iginla and Jagr as it was for second tier vets like Morrow and Murray.

If we had to pay those prices for a top 3 dman then im content with not doing it

 

[613Leafer]

We should have gotten in on that Forsberg deal... MacArthur + No Name McGee prospect for Forsberg. Doesn't matter if we weren't planning on being sellers, that's just ridiculous value right there.

yeah have to agree, don't know that Nonis didn't but felt like he was pretty focused on specific things and wasn't in on anything like that.

probably would have cost a better prospect because Mac isn't signed and not as good as Erat but seemed like a great opportunity to turn one of the many D prospects in to a solid fwd prospect.

this might be an example of Nonis is patient to a fault that we heard about

 

[Deebo]

Because no other team would want him and he would be out of a job.

There will be plenty of teams interested in Luongo if he ends up a UFA.

 

[Deebo]

I can't imagine that Martin Erat went for Filip Forsberg. I would have definitely shifted out a forward like MacArthur to have gotten Forsberg, playoffs or none.

MacArthur is a pending UFA and Erat has 2 years left. I don't think Mac would've have got it done.

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

There will be plenty of teams interested in Luongo if he ends up a UFA.

I wasn't serious.

 

[Pi]

I would have liked Forsberg too but not all teams know that he is available for players like Erat. He was being traded to Nashville.

If Nonis knew, he too would have given up the same to get him.

I agree I don't think he did but isn't his job to know?

kind of like how Burke pulled off the Phanuef deal

 

[Damisoph]

I'm still amazed at the return Regier got for Pominville.

 

[ACC1224]

I would assume Washington targeted Erat and Forsberg was the price Nashville set. Doubt very much they were looking to move Forsberg.
