No one is off limits for me other than those four. A deal for Nico would have to be huge though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yeah I know Nico's become a bit of a whipping boy in some circles as of late, but I want to see what he can do with better wingers to work with. As a rookie, he put up 20 G and 32 A in 82 GP, with an MVP on one wing, and an in-his-prime Palms on the other. Right now, through 41 GP (10 G and 16 A), he's on pace for the EXACT same numbers...and he's managed to do that with considerably less talented linemates most nights. Stands to reason that with upgrades, Nico could sniff 60+ points if he can play 80ish games (or at least be on that kind of a pace). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all kidding aside Nico does seem to have a way of getting beat up a lot. Given how young he was when he started, he could be one of those guys who's near-finished by his early-30s.

Not like everyone does that. Of course, I hope he has a long and terrific career and I hope it happens here. I still think highly of him, and feel like he hasn't reached his full upside yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be him to get a decent goaltender if that is what is on the menu for the deadline or most likely the off-season. I don’t know who else you could move for a good one. Besides the guys we cannot afford to trade at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Is this the first Domino? Early trades like this help shape the market. Makes me think a straight swap for Zacha might not be so far fetched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Good deal for Montreal. Fitz must start to think faster. Not every GM will trade his first round pick. And we still need more. For a big trade after or for making prospect pool better. Team looks like devs have 3-4 legit top-6 players, may be top6 players, good fourth line and may be 1-2 players for the third line. Defensive line on the right side is very questionable. There are a lot of good prospect in the deep of the first round. Zacha as a player with 29 goals in his last 95 games on the cheap contract can be a very interesting player for sale. One more year + (qo). Severson is on the pick of his price too.

MadDog2020 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I hate that the trade deadline is so late in hockey. The NBA trade deadline was last week. I honestly wish they’d move it up to February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm the GM of a team in the playoff picture, I'm pissed as fvck that I can't tweak my roster and acquire anyone in the back third of the season. I mean, there's still so much hockey left to be played. I feel like putting the trade deadline so early limits GMs and team's abilities to do something. Granted most deals tend to happen right when the deadline approaches, but in all reality GMs have that much more time to work with the later the deadline is in the season.

I think the “split the difference” answer works good here. Final week of February/March 1 is both long enough after the new year and a sufficient amount of time before the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be March 1. I’d prefer it to be in the beginning of March. Edited February 15, 2022 by MadDog2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say something to that effect - I don't think the season start later, but I do know it was originally supposed to end sometime in early May (which is crazy late, almost a month later than usual) - I think because of the possibility of NHLers playing in the Olympics this year. But when that was nixed, they were able to salvage a few of those weeks, and I can only assume they didn't adjust the trade deadline to accommodate. That's just a guess though.
