GDT: Trade Deadline (Friday, March 8 @ 3PM) Thread

[MOGlLNY]

Adams seemed to imply that the Mittelstadt for Byram trade is a precursor for improving the team in the off-season.

Did Girgensons actually nix a trade, or did he publicly say he didn't want to be traded? I may have missed it, but he has no trade protection. Seems more likely that Adams didn't feel there was a reasonable trade offer on the table than assuming Girgs had no interest in playing in the post-season.

IMO, it's a combo of both being true. My guess is that Zem had/has a preference of staying here, but was OK with going elsewhere if KA got a good offer on him. Said offer never developed, so Zem wasn't just dealt for whatever KA could get.

Kevyn Adams - I have confidence Krebs can fill the role.

Granato overhearing the comment

 

[old kummelweck]

I mean, he did have 28 goals last season.

The organization mismanaged the situation and didn't capitalize when his value was high(er).

Following up a 28-goal season by being healthy scratched almost every single game sends a clear message to the rest of the league. If they weren't going to use him they should have found some way, any way, to move him last summer. By not doing so, and then not playing him, its management's fault they're paying a guy nearly $5M to not play.

I don't think they really wanted to keep him. It was a tough contract for the player. Then Quinn goes down and they convince themselves they need him.

How many empty netters when he shouldn't have been on this because he can't defense or win a battle at all?

f*** my life

Too bad the clown behind the bench has Krebs on his Shit List.

Maybe...if by precursor he meant "necessitates".

I honestly think we'll get a bottom-6 C, and that will be it.

Our top 2 centers desperately need some two-way players to alleviate some of the pressure on them, but I'd bet my bottom dollar we're running it back with a similar top-6, praying Cozens, Tage, and Peterka learn the nuances of the game.

Prove me wrong, Adams.

If this is the straw that gets Granato fired, I’m all for it.

I'd throw a fair amount of money on a 3-year deal to Henrique. Might be that perfect 2-way 3rd line center to help teach those nuances.

We're gonna have to accept that this is the plan. Well, my therapist is going to have to accept that I'm going to bitch about this. I'm sure she'll just put her headphones in like usual.

I legitimately feel bad for Vic

unbelievable... that idiot Adams should be driven out of Buffalo with wet rags. Olofsson for what?!? Girgensons for what?!? Nobody can tell me that there was no one interested in Olofsson in particular

 

[kirby11]

Toronto gonna get steamed in playoffs

I enjoy that over the past few years, they've wasted several picks to add veteran grit at the TDL to try and get over the playoff hump. They still haven't learned that their big problem is their total lack of depth scoring, and that if any of their big 4 up front go cold or get hurt for more than one or two games in a series, they're completely screwed because they can't score more than 2 goals per game.

Uhh, I can tell you that there is no one interested in Olofsson. He will be lucky to get a contract next year. No one wants a black hole in their forward ranks.

[OkimLom]

Willing to bet Tuch is management’s choice for Captain (not that I disagree with it)

 

[SundherDome]

This place is gunna be fun when Krebs has his glow up next year

 

[kirby11]

Glad to see we'll be running back the "I'm not doing shit" offseason plan, part 5

 

[BUCKSHOT]

Sabres trade Devin Cooley to SJ for a 7th

 

[Jacob582]

I was thinking they would try to get rid of Cooley.

I didn't think they would get a draft pick for him.

 

[Gras]

Devin Cooley to the Sharks for a 7th

 

[Tatanka]

JFC….they are what they are Kevyn. Soft and dumb, they are not getting better to any level where they pass the teams ahead of them. It this is the plan lord help everyone.

There’s a good chance Olofsson is in the SHL next year.
