GDT: Trade Deadline Extravaganza Part II

[Menzinger]

Well at this point I’d say the safe that is the leaFS are going to have a more conservative day today, BUT worth remembering like with the Nylander negotiation DubAS isn’t afraid to do things at the last minute.

At the very least we have confirmation via the Chris Johnston Rumor is that they’ve had a least serious talks about a RHD, and often it seems groundwork for traDES can be laid at the TDL and finished in the off-season.

 

[Brock Radunske]

You could just as easily pose the discussion point. You dont need to reference a nobody on twitter throwing out a trade scenario. It has no more relevance then any of us throwing it out.

I guess so. It's just not my idea so I didn't want to claim it.
Regardless, it's just a talking point so take it any way that you like.

Its starting to become a faint memory of when it was actually fun to take the day off work and enjoy the deadline.

I learned my lesson a few years back now that I was pissing away a vacation day to watch the wall-to-wall coverage and get very little out of it. I still do very little at work, but at least getting paid for it.

Krieder would cost a pretty penny I imagine, probably our next available 1st rounder++. Dont see the leafs going into back to back drafts without a 1st rounder.

Yeah, I was thinking that as well, back to back with no 1st maybe a long shot.

 

[Martin Skoula]

I would give anything to see us pickup Krider and Gudas today. Both wouldn't require an enormous amount of assets, and both would help our team toughness so much.

As dirty as it sounds, those 2 are the kind of toughness that might actually change how teams deal with us. Getting a ho-hum 3rd line grinder that finishes his checks doesn't matter. Gudas and Kreider are legitimate threats to cross the line and take out your goalie or a forward that actually matters. Those 2 plus Kadri could completely change the tone of a series with one hit.

no to Gudas! i hate that guy. His stupidity will cost you games.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Not sure there’s enough track record there for us to say what kind of guy he is at the trade deadline. But I really hope you’re wrong lol....we need some help

The people who know him have said that if anything he is the complete opposite. If he sees an issue, he'll be looking for a way to fix.

Jay and dan used to be funny, now they jush try way too f****** hard

Dan was never really funny imo, he'd literally just take the name of a player and attach a movie reference to it. "Brian Elliot, *ET Voice*".

It was better when they just did a regular sportscenter. Now the bullshit skits and them walking to the couch to do other shit no one cares about.

Its boring and frankly a little embarrassing.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Only a couple of hours to go until I can gloat about being right regarding the Leafs standing pat on deadline day

 

[Schooner]

Because it's something interesting to talk about on an otherwise boring TDL.
I could post the link but Mods will instantly delete it.

It's been talked about in the entire last thread, with sources. Chris Johnston talked about it on 590 this morning.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

They do a pretty good interview though, I wish they acted like that more often.

Yeah when they aren't acting outrageous they can be good. But 90% of the time it's just tim asking a question setting sid up for a fake outrage moment. It's clearly geared towards getting hits on social media and is aimed at a younger audience.

LOL

I am one of the directors at work, but our whole office are hockey fans..... so we are all watching, including my bosses

Very little work being done

Bob McKenzie says that the Leafs ARE trying to get something done before the deadline, but Moore being called up doesn't necessarily mean anything.

 

[CarterD]

Krieder would cost a pretty penny I imagine, probably our next available 1st rounder++. Dont see the leafs going into back to back drafts without a 1st rounder.

Something that I've been kind of intrested in is Kreider + Shattenkirk (NYR retain some caphit as they don't need for a few years) for Zaits + Brown + Nylander/Kap/AJ. Would have to fine tune it a bit obviously but thats a decent framework

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Not a lot of people know this but Dr. Ho is actually Tom Vu after he went back to retrain himself after the 2008 financial crisis.

 

[Brock Radunske]

For anyone interested, Gardiner isn't in practice today.

ok Bobbo

 

[The90]

I was thinking Subban actually. I think they reported that he's missing from practice today, too.

we already have enough offense on the back end. Aside from being a righty, I wouldn’t be too pumped on what we’d have to give up vs the return of that. However, that would make the Montreal and Boston rivalries insane

Yep, and big bodies. I would LOVE to see heads being smashed on the other side for once. Plus Krider is a beauty all around.

Oh, I didn't see that. Maybe the twitter guy was just speculating/building on that.

 

[Dog]

Hell yes...

 

[Peasy]

Chris Tanev lol... The dude is such a bandaid, almost Lupul level. Its a joke that Canuck fans would say it would take Nylander to get him in the past.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

For all this talk about it being an explosive deadline, it's been relatively quiet. Obviously some good players have moved, but to see teams like Vegas, Nashville, Calgary and Washington letting things right down to the wire has me surprised.

 

[93WrapAround]

For anyone interested, Gardiner isn't in practice today.

Pretty interesting unless there's a very good non-trade deadline reason for that.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Is someone going to get Dreger on already??? I need to know every scenario and if it can all change with a phone call or not
