Seriously. Imagine one of Hymam, Ekholm or RNHs is hurt. They’d be toast.Who got better?
Who got worse?
Who didn't do enough?
Winners:
- Vegas is the obvious big winner of today IMO, they were already a strong team and now they are f***ing stacked and ready for the war
HM to Florida, Colorado and Winnipeg
Losers:
- Ottawa: the Tarasenko deal is a turdrrible asset management
- Edmonton is super stacked up front but they lack talents/depth in defense, and they failed to adress that. Their goaltending is suspicious at best, and they are an injury away from catastrophe
Or Skinner, recalling how Vegas lost Broissoit to injury in Round 2.Seriously. Imagine one of Hymam, Ekholm or RNHs is hurt. They’d be toast.
Ok. So do you think Calgary was going to trade Tanev to the Oilers?Wild how much some people search for excuses for oilers management. Happened with Chiarelli too
If one of Allen or Kahkonen do well and Holtz breaks out the Devils could be winners.
Ok, lets judge Conroy:
After 62 games:
2022-23 (Trevling) 27-22-13 (67 points)
2023-24 (Conroy) 31-26-5 (67 points).
Even. No improvement or decline.
That's just one of the potential trades.just one out of a dozen ways to improve this team so sure focus on that. And yes I do they made 2 big trades with CanucksOk. So do you think Calgary was going to trade Tanev to the Oilers?
Only took 57 years.Leafs acted as if they settled into the reality that they are nothing more than pretenders.
Anyone who watched Guentzel play with Malkin. Or can look up those numbers.I think Carolina did a good job, but who knows how Guentzel will perform sans Crosby. Hes been stapled to him for his entire career.
Yeah, a late 1st has a 20-25% chance of becoming anything important (top6 F, top4 D). Trade four in a row and you've probably lost one good player. I'm not a big fan of buying at the deadline but that's more because imo they don't usually help as much as expected, chemistry, knowing your coach, teammates, system, it takes time.Catastrophic?
Here is some trivia for you:
One of the most mocked tdl moves of the past 20 years was Paul Gaustad, a 4th line , 25 point player, traded to the predators for a first round pick.
The player chosen with that pick?
One of the most mocked first round picks of the past 20 years, Mark Jankowski.
Turned out being a joke for a joke.
The only tdl moves I can think of that really backfired was the erat for forsberg trade.
And the forsberg pick was actually colorados pick, which was sent over to acquire varlamov from the caps
Seriously. Imagine one of Hymam, Ekholm or RNHs is hurt. They’d be toast.
