GDT: Trade Deadline!

[Mad Brills*]

They'll be sent down after the skate and then recalled after the deadline so they'll be eligible.

 

[p.l.f.]

yeah poor connor brown oh well

 

[Loosie]

Just noticed that Winnik netted us two 2nd round picks in the next draft in two separate trades. (That is if the Penguins don't make the playoffs this year)

Edit: I think I fixed that right.

These call-ups almost seem like they are a nod to the fans, you know, "you've suffered all season and have supported us anyway, so here's a little taste of the future." I know that professional sports franchises make cold appraisals, but this does seem like a little bit of a late-season bon-bon for the punters. Anyway, partly intended or not, it's a great public relations move.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

No more rumours then eh?

You guys crying about the numbers are hilarious. Screw heroes or losers of the past, let them make their own identities. Nothing wrong with those numbers.

Letting them select their own numbers is exactly part of letting them make their own identities.

Guess that escaped you.

Stu Percy is not at gameday skate. Waiver eligible next year, not included in today's promotion/demotion kerfluffle.

 

[Stand Witness]

No percy on the ice right now

 

[Warden of the North]

No Percy at skate

 

[Mess]

I'd do it. I'd do Gardiner for Carle & Drouin right now.

It would require more moving pieces to complete, but that is the potential for a trade. IMO

 

[slozo]

I like it!

Out with the old, in with the new. Plus, just in case Bernie goes in a last minute, throw-away deal. Doubt it, but sometimes there's that one crazy GM . . .

Oh so players are entitled to being able to pick their own numbers now when entering the league? lmao. Its all marketing man, take a lap.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Maybe Percy is sore?

 

[p.l.f.]

all these threads are colliding with the same topic

That's interesting.
Anyone think he could be included in a bigger deal?

 

[SprDaVE]

What a boring day...

 

[Stand Witness]

What a boring day...

par for the course thus far though

 

[Andrew Mack]

He could be on the john, but it is Trade Deadline Day so I'm assuming he's been packaged for Drouin.

Might be a prospect for prospect swap too. Maybe Seth Griffith?

 

[Budsfan]

gary lawless @garylawless
Multiple West Conference teams still waiting for an answer from @FlaPanthers on Brandon Pirri. Been offered a 2nd, they'd like highest avail

 

[Andrew Mack]

Percy's back.

 

[Stand Witness]

And Percy actually is on the ice

 

[brettzz]

itll pick up from 1pm-3

 

[Stand Witness]

I still don't understand why Florida would go out and acquire all these rentals to just trade away Pirri. One is going to be a long(er) term piece while the others likely leave in FA.

I doubt that - my guess would be a package deal, for an actual NHL player - probably a young one, but someone who isn't just a "prospect" any more.
