NO DRAGGING UP OLD TRADE ANNOUNCEMENTS EVEN FOR A GOOF!

Not gonna lie, I was about ready to throw things if Gudbranson ever came back.

 

[Vector]

I had my response all ready before it disappeared.

Also I recommend not using the word "goof".

Does it mean something I'm not aware of?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Pens are definitely getting "lowballed" if they're now saying they might just re-sign Guentzel.

Dubas in full panic mode sweating like Richard Simmons

The Pens reporter for The Hockey News saying Guentzel's preferred destination is Vancouver

Bo Horvat's burner account trolling us

oh christ.. ok buckle up kids

f*** that, I’m gonna let the ride take me where is wants. Even if it means slamming my head on the roof.

I’ll tell you that for free

If they do trade Lindholm, have to wonder if they still target a middle 6 C given that was the intention with Lindholm initially.

 

[ziploc]

That name sounds and looks so fake. But it is indeed an actual reporter.

Any relation to Bo Horwat?

Does it mean something I'm not aware of?

Yup. And not a good thing.

Sorry I will be real gud from now on

 

[oceanchild]

I wonder if Dubas has regrets for saying he would make the trade today. If he doesn’t, he will find himself surrounded by vultures.

Maybe shanny kept this guy from totally destroying the leafs future…. Wait a minute …

Guenztel is 95% coming here.

As long as we don't blow our load on the return, this team has the deepest forward group in the league.

He will fit like a glove on either of the top two lines.

From several hours ago but worth posting:

Carolina has a very deep prospect pool, if they want Guentzel badly they can easily outbid us.

But I think the question is - can JR bamboozle Dubas into taking less than he can get?

Agreed, we will never find out, but would love to know if he weaponized his NTC to force the trade to us and Allvin and Jim knew and get him at 65% cost or something amazing.

If Nikishin was not in the EP offer, that substantially lowers my expectation that the offer Carolina presented was a viable option.

 

[PG Canuck]

Doesn’t really seem like a Carolina move to package prospect and picks for a pure rental, does it?

But at what point do they actually go for it, right.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

If JR gets Guenztel at a discount despite all the noise, just build him a statue outside Rogers Arena right now.

That would be pure wizardry.

And that's why I think we got him. Sounds like he would prefer to sign here long term. So this might be contingent on a sign and trade.

Yeah, I feel like they'd rather pay a bit more and go after Buchnevich

Hopefully like an MJ glove.

Cause Lindholm has fit like an OJ glove.

It’s not a word you would want to say out loud in prison.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Lindholm is a 50 point center that wants to be paid based on an outlier season playing on what was once the best line in hockey.

Guentzel is a proven PPG player, multiple 40 goal scorer, 2x Cup winner, and is PPG this season.

Yeah, if you're trading for Pettersson who is arguably a top-5 centre in the league, there is no untouchable prospect, otherwise you're just not being serious.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Waiting for a Guentzel trade to drop is like watching the Kings play.
