Post-Game Talk: Trade Deadline Day

[Leaf Rocket]

With Bergeron down ... Leafs are looking like legitimate threats in East.

Not really.

Montreal and Bruins still have much more depths than us. Not to mention experience. We are using this playoffs as a stepping stone to get our feet wet while these guys are already accomplished playoff warriors, one being a cup champ

Oh boy.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 44s
Bizarre levels of secrecy/intrigue over imminent WSH announcement. #tradecentre

I really want to know what this trade is.

 

[Damisoph]

Just wait, Nonis got fired from VAN. because of his inability to both make the playoffs (missed 2/3yrs) and make the moves to make the team better. He did a couple things and thats that helped and thats it.

This is Burkies team, Nonis has no balls.

Oh, I didn't realize the GM's job was to show how big his balls are.

I have a feeling I'll be ing a lot today.

 

[The Magic Man]

I'm glad we didn't get a replacement for Reimer, and I would've been happy with Khabibulin or Kipprusoff as a mentor role. I think Reimer has earned the right to be our starter and see how he fares in the playoffs. If he is bad, we can revisit the Luongo deal and will likely be quite cheap. Lu is still a great #1, and I don't give a rats ass about cap problems in 2018 when we need another G and Lu is old as *****.

By then hopfully our cap isn't bloated with failed FA signings. I think Nonis is showing he is what this organization has needed for a long time. A patient and intelligent GM. Not afraid to hold on to our future when we are still a bubble playoff team. You don't build your team at the Trade Deadline.

I put this in the goalie thread, but since there is at least 2 trade related threads, I'll quote my point and bring it here.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Oh boy.

Oh boy is right.

Gord Miller ‏@GMillerTSN 20s

Min/Buf trade: Sabres send Jason Pominville and a 4th in '14 to the Wild for Johan Larsson, Matt Hackett a 1st in '13 and a 2nd in '14.

Wow, nice deal for Buffalo. Pominville helps them now so good for them too.

If @TSNBobMcKenzie doesn't know what the WSH deal is, it's either insignificant -- or enormous.

Hopping for the latter.

 

[Longshot]

The Buffalo beat people are starting to chime in on Twitter. Interesting...

 

[BayStreetBullies*]

Oh boy.



I really want to know what this trade is.

Ovechkin for two 1st rounders +++

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Oh boy.



I really want to know what this trade is.

same here this is curious...

Boston have been playing awful. Can't score goals. Rask has been mediocre - and now their most important player could be out for an extended period ...


Pitts
MTL
Toronto
Boston


And MTL really doesn't scare anyone.



Additionally I nver thought the day would come that I would be more optimistic than Leaf Rocket!!!!

Man I really want the caps to get better and succeed. I like AO, backstrom and especiall Oates. Guy's class.

 

[diceman934]

Neutral.

Depends on how Nonis does with the players that need to be re-signed.

This how can we vote until we know if we lose Mac and Bozak for nothing.

Then another answer to the poll would need to be added....Horrible

Ill believe it when I see it.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Conacher would lead the Sens in points right now

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Buffalo does a pretty good job getting teams to overpay for his players. Did the same last year with Gaustad. I still can't believe he was traded for a 1st round pick.

They're going to retool quickly .. They won't be at the bottom for long
