GDT: Trade Deadline V2 - The Final Countdown

[LeafsandSharksfan]

I'm shocked Parenteau didn't get moved.

Not to take away from what Lou has done so far, but this is a failure.

 

[Mckay]

I do not think it can....I believe he had to be on the teams roster by the trade dealing in order for the buyout to happen and the special situation to be used.

Just my opinion.

Leafs can just buy him out themselves and save nearly 4 million in cap space for next year... then they can trade for bickell if they want, maybe get more back with him by not giving Chicago a negative assest back(Cowen's cap credit still doesn't give him much of any value)

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

We couldn't even get a conditional 7th?

Having PAP with the kids the rest of the year is better than a 7th

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

The thing I don't get is if teams were concerned about parenteau's injury, why was he not sat to protect the asset?

Leafs did well up to today. With that said, they do deserve criticism when it's due and I think not being able to find value for someone like PAP deserves to be criticised, even if the day was quiet for a lot of teams.

I won't lose sleep over it though.

Just proves what happens if you hold out on deadline day for a high return.. Taking a lesser deal yesterday with the Isles as the rumours suggested would have gotten the Leafs something.

Oh well, happy with the last few weeks for sure.

 

[slozo]

Agree with the saner heads here . . . definitely disappointed PA Parenteau wasn't traded, but . . . I'm sure sure Lou is disappointed too, and I'm sure there are very good reasons. Won't lose sleep over it, especially considering the fine work done before the trade deadline.

Looking forward to watching the kids, gentlemen (and Daisy)!

 

[veedubn1]

Then you take a 7th and move on.

no.

That would damage your leverage in all future deadline trades.

I prefer to look at all the trade Lou made leading up the deadline. Imagine the hype if Phaneuf was traded today? And you know what, Ottawa might not make that trade today if he waited. Lou is a genius.

 

[The Podium]

People need to remember Lou needs to maintain a reputation. How do people expect Lou to be taken seriously if he folds and deals a valuable asset for peanuts when pushed into a corner? Sure Lou could've dealt PA for a 7th but had he done that in the future GM's will know just to wait him out and hell cave. Am I upset that PA is still a Leaf? Of course. But at the same time I don't think Lou is to blame if the market is awful.

 

[Muston Atthews]

You have to remember it may come out in Lous presser that PAP is more injured than we let on

 

[Ruski]

Interesting that Boston just unloaded 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th round picks for Stempniak and Liles.

I guess they aren't fond of drafting

 

[Menzinger]

I'm shocked Parenteau didn't get moved.

Exactly.

Overall management has done a fantastic job this deadline week, but the PAP still being in the team (if he indeed didn't get moved I suppose there is still technically time to announce a trade) is a disappointment.

I find it near impossible to believe that he couldn't at the very least be moved for a pick in the 4-7th range at the very least. Mirtle had reported the Leafs were reportedly asking for a 2nd.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I do not think it can....I believe he had to be on the teams roster by the trade dealing in order for the buyout to happen and the special situation to be used.

Just checked the CBA, that is a rule for something called "Ordinary Course Buy-Outs Outside the Regular Period.", but nothing there just about Ordinary buyouts

 

[dubplatepressure]

Boston spent Camara plus a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round pick for Stempniak and Liles. Pretty bad IMO.

 

[Shwaguy*]

You think Lou would be intimidated by team giving weak **** offers? Hell no.

Our organization is better off as a whole not getting anything for PA than taking a Low Ball offer like the Panthers. 100% without a doubt.

 

[Cor]

Parenteau should have been traded. It's disappointing he wasn't.

HOWEVER, it's far from the end of the world.

Our deadline was still an A+

 

[SeaOfBlue]

The thing I don't get is if teams were concerned about parenteau's injury, why was he not sat to protect the asset?

Because Babcock.

Good question is what happens with the young guys now. Boyes, Grabner and Parenteau were not expected to be around. Now they are (according to reports), so who sits?

 

[Jacquestrapless]

PAP was probably just a smokescreen lol

Everybody was enamored with his production, speculating the return he was going to get, and Lou ninjas his way to selling off the others.

 

[crump]

Glad I didn't waste my day watching a bunch of nothing. Not mad, leafs did a lot before today.

Expiring contracts are still that. Off the books next season. Maybe less room for young guns to come up to get a taste of the NHL, but it's not the end of the world.

 

[Shwaguy*]

We couldn't even get a conditional 7th?

Taking a low ball offer is waaay worse for us than getting nothing, people gotta understand that.

Sets a bad precedent for later deals.

 

[Leafsbeast*]

So is it final now?

Did the leafs announce they are done?

 

[tokyoite]

Lou's first job after the deadline is to re-sign PAP for another year.

 

[Canada4Gold]

ANA gave a conditional 3rd for McGinn could become 2nd, players going for returns we wanted for PAP but PAP himself didn't go, oh well, guess Lou held stubborn on that 2nd he wanted
