Trade Deadline Week - 2018

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Wait, playoffs? Didn't I watch the Laffs win the Stanley Cup last night?

Did you have ESPN Classic on?

No, I watched Toronto celebrate a regular season win like they were going to hoist Lord Stanley's Chalice in a few minutes.


BTW, was television even invented when the Laffs last won the cup?

Pretty good haul for the Rangers.

Well, if that was the price I am content with waiting until UFA for him to come home. 3 mid range assets and 2 picks? No thanks.

So far, gotta say prices are HIGH.

Jack Johnson will bring that average down.

Boston gave up a whole lotta nuthing in the Nash deal. The farm team is well stocked so losing one of the last picks in the 1st round ain't no big thing, Spooner blows and is incredibly soft and weak, the minor league d-man is so good no one has ever heard of him and a 7th(?) rounder in 2 years?

At the least Nash is a size, strength and skill upgrade over Spooner. Hopefully he shows up ready to skate his ass off because Cassidy will sit him if he doesn't.

My first instinct was to deride the deal as too much for Nash, but I don't know enough about the players to make that claim. I really need to start paying closer attention to the Bruins, as trading away Seguin and Hamilton pissed me off so much I stopped following the B's very closely.

Is giving up Belesky going to hurt? He and Spooner are the only names I recognized.

It's not who I would've wanted but a late 2nd is all it really cost.

Better than Brian Gionta I guess.

Did HF crash or something?

 

[Sgt Brutus]

What's going on in St Louis?

 

[davnlaguna]

Did HF crash or something?

Doesn’t it alway on deadline day

 

[tducey]

Yeah, it did crash, back for a while then it crashed again.

Some interesting moves today; Think Boston overpaid for Nash. I expect Karlsson to be traded by Ottawa.

Belesky would have been released if his contract wasn't such an albatross. He was playing in Providence because the Bruins owe him lots of $$$ and they were gracious enough to let him him try to get his game back in the minors.

I'm still pissed at Chiarelli and Julien for running off Seguin, so my first instinct was to hate this trade. Now reading your posts and some other writers, I don't hate what the B's gave up.

Did I mention I hated the Seguin trade?

And a mighty roar went up from the crowd

yay

I like le test Tube. Certainly the kind of locker room presence we've been missing.

I think the Rangers pulled in a bigger haul because they took an unwanted contract and ate half of Nashs salary. if it was just a straight up trade it would have been Spooner and 1st rounder or Prospect and the 1st rounder. I also like the trade if they want to they can probably get some seconds or thirds for Spooner.

Also from what I hear they would have a hard time paying Spooner anyway so if it help make the trade why not. As a Rangers fan I like it. Even if it is a very low pick the Rangers farm system is dessert dry so they need prospects.
