2015 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

[pixburgher66]

Does the rumor mill seem...a bit quieter this year? I know there's still plenty of time, but for some reason it seems a bit calm at the moment. Of course having a few big moves already made probably doesn't help ramp things up. And the whole cap staying put thing.

It really is my favorite time of the year. Could simply be because the Pens aren't likely going to make any moves (I'd be a bit surprised...not Jimmy's thing, deadline moves) and therefore it seems quieter. Also, the Devils need to give up. I know that's a hard thing to do...but sheesh. At least give the Pens Jags, please. Or trade him to the West. THOSE ARE YOUR ONLY OPTIONS, YOU HEAR ME LOU?

Almost as funny as the Leafs shopping Lupul. Almost.

Managing a contender isn't exactly Jimmy's thing, either, but things are different now.

I can see him standing pat, but is this the Pens team that (at least) gets to the Cup final? Is there anything special about them compared even to their division rivals, let alone the TB's and Montreal Carey Prices? How many more years of Crosby and Malkin are going to be wasted on second round exits?

Then again, his predecessor wasted many assets on quick boosts that didn't help. I dunno. I wouldn't like to be in Rutherford's position.

This is a really good trade for Montreal, trading a guy they took a flyer on for a youngster who can give them some good 3rd line minutes.

Which begs the question...the fuck is Bob Murray smoking?

Lots of speculation that Glencross might have been heading to Anaheim for DSP. Oh well, I want Emerson Etem anyway

 

[dash]

Of course, considering Etem played junior for the Tigers in Medicine Hat, his next stop is obviously Vancouver.

God, I just want twatwaffle to shut up. All he does is throw shit and see what sticks. Just last week he was preaching that Wiz was not being shopped.

At least he has missed the fact that Howson was back in town this past weekend.

Goodbye Jiri, I hardly got to know you beyond the fact that your name backwards is Cakes.

The more I think about it, the more it looks good for the Ducks, because Jiri Sekac is only in year one of his ELC and with Matt Beleskey being a free agent after the season, they feel like Sekac could be a 20 goal scorer for much cheaper and think he could probably do that better than DSP

I like DSP but I'm not sure what the Habs are going to do next and if this is one of those "connect the dots" types of moves for them

They're going to ask him to change his first name to Georges so they can chant "GSP, GSP!"

I just realized Sekac isn't as old as I thought he was. Having said that, I watched much more of him than I did Anaheim, obviously, and I didn't see anything special. That's just me, though.

I don't think the Habs necessarily utilized him as much as they should have, so he might get more of an opportunity in Anaheim

I think Sekac was in Michel Therrien's Chateau Bow-wow...

I'm sure DSP will be too at some point

I hope Price keeps carrying MTL to the conf. finals just so Therrien stays forever and the team never goes anywhere.

Being a life-long Leaf fan does that to people.
