NHL Trade Deadline 2023

Paul Hamilton was correct. Said he believed little would happen now because Adams decided to play the long game. Make deals  during the summer when all these UFA's are out there and more moves on draft weekend .  

What bothers me about that by Adams is who will be around this summer after these trades? (some of which involved pending free agents that signed long term deals). 

Second, waiting for a couple of draft picks in 2023 to develop - if they do develop! - will take years. 

They could have had a proven commodity in Chychrun for next to nothing, relatively speaking, and that’s not just about this season but the next two years on top of that - in which our young guys will be entering their prime. Can you imagine our defensive prowess?  And then they could look at a two-way forward in free agency (and they have $72 million in cap space).

I get not panicking trying to make a huge run this season. And not trading away prime assets in the system. But when you have a chance to put the team in prime without relinquishing a single player, I don’t get not making that deal. SMH. 

As Greg Wyshinski notes:

The 6-2 defenseman, who turns 25 on March 31, loves to carry the puck and has a terrific shot -- as evidenced by his 18 goals in 56 games in 2020-21, which was his best offensive season. But some pundits have decided that because he generates offense that he does not defend well in his own zone, which is a stereotype that's misapplied to Chychrun. He plays physically along the boards, can defend the net front and has a 70% success rate in zone exits at 5-on-5. One of the reasons he was coveted was because he's a two-way defender.

 

Se la vie

I don’t think we get JC from Arizona for the same price as Ottawa. They would’ve been asking for much more from us imo.

 

Tom Wilson? We interested? Apparently Buffalo is not on his NTC list. 

 I think he has very good skill but he has a screw loose and I don't want him representing Buffalo hes a dick and a headhunter

So, I don't post much and I don't have any inside information. There is a young fella I've remarked a few times before who posts at Hockeybuzz. I don't really like the vibe of that place (folks here are funnier and nicer and well-informed,) but it's another source for Sabres' talk. Anyway, fella supposedly is close to the Pegulas and seems to me he's been right in the past, but I'm fuzzy about exactly what. In any event, this fella posted the following message about forty minutes ago.

110% expect to be surprised

And you'll all like it .

Cya at the draft

 

Don't know if it means anything and perhaps its utterly bogus. Folks over there are speculating Saros.

 Is this  Same guy that Had basically all the prospects that we drafted last summer in order before the draft?

Yep, so some plausibility. The story on hockeybuzz is he gets in trouble for passing on information and disappears for long stretches. Then he swoops in with a flash message when he has news and thinks its safe. Guess we'll see.

Im not a believer in "insiders" but that draft thing was pretty impressive.

So will see I'll give it a 1% lol

Stillman isn't Stillman, he's actually Paul Coffey's clone, born out of Mt. Mordor looking for another ring, and he knows Marchand has it?

I'm guessing a goalie, just so much smoke around net minding. I'm going to take a stab at it. With Nashville selling, I'm guessing Saros, who only has 3 seasons left on his deal, doesn't make sense for him to stick around while the Preds develop their freshly acquired draft picks. Probably a defenseman coming in the package as well, I'll say RHD, either Fabbro or Carrier.

Oh! So when Eichel is controlling the GM he's a GM and coach-killer. And when it's a GM making promises to Giroux it's all good and happy Chychruns?  😇

Yes...but on the other hand listening to Jack Eichel and listening to Claude Giroux are not the same thing.

I believe the thought is he is close to Adams but maybe it is the Pegulas. Anyways, yes he has been correct in his scoops in the past.

Does anyone listen to After the Whistle? Someone said Roenick was on and he just went in on Chychrun. Not that I am a fan of JR but I would be interested to know what he said and what the issue is.

Hockeybuzz + inflated expectant move = modus operandi
