The Official 2014 Trade Deadline Thread

Columbus may be looking to unload Gaborik, but I can't see them trading him to a team that is neck and neck with them in the standings.

 

Huh, you know that didn't even occur to me.  Still haven't mentally adjusted to the new divisions I guess.  So that almost completely eliminates us from the Gaborik sweepstakes, assuming Lou won't trade within the division.

 

Womp womp.

#Isles have traded Andrew MacDonald to the Flyers. More to come.

#Isles get 2014 3rd rounder and a 2015 2nd rounder for MacDonald from the Flyers.

 

As long as Wang and Snow are calling the shots at the Nassau Mauseleum, we don't have to worry about them.  I would take Grabner or Okposo off their hands though...

Because you bring it up constantly every time someone gets signed or almost gets signed.

 

yeah well if you bring up something and that people call you crazy for even thinking that way. And then that you see it happening everywhere, wouldnt you point it out too? well fvck yeah. 

 

Im not the one in denial of a common situation just cause i want to "protect" my GM's actions

It's not protecting his actions. It's understanding his actions.

Deciding for absolutely no reason other than "its a distraction" to refuse to talk contract during the season no matter what the situation is, is not the right thing to do. Plain and simple.

Maybe that's just what he tells TG and others to keep the heat off his players while he actually performs contract negotiations.  Look at the circus the Callahan contract has become over in NY.. you think that's not a distraction to the players and organization?

Point is:  Neither you nor I actually knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Cool. But it's the way he's very successfully run a team for 25 years. People have pointed out countless times that your broad stroke ideas of 'talking to people' makes no sense when your goal is to put your best team on the ice for a playoff run. What David Clarkson says about a contract in January means nothing if you want him on the team in April.

well many reports from our players and agents said that Lou doesnt want to do it. Could be wrong but Elias sounded pretty irritated by it it too.

He was very irritated before re-signing. Twice.

I'd absolutely demand a 1st from PITT for Zidlicky. Macdonald is terrible.
