2020 Trade Deadline Activity

[Kin]

I like that the Buffalo Sabres paying a reasonable price to add a piece to their team in the hopes of winning hockey games is greeted with incredulity because it may not be the smartest long term business decision.

Not just a reasonable cost, but a marginal one too.

This place is better than most but sometimes I look at twitter at how some fans react to moves and it really seems like fans are basically just cheering for stock prices at this point.

Commodore better be legit cause he has Barrie going to Vegas and I know Vegas isn't shy about giving up assets for players.  Let's go!!!

Maybe his insane hatred for Babcock works in this somehow.

He's adding 3M to their cap if Ladd goes the other way. The extra 2 years for Parise are at 1M each so those could be moved.

Parise is productive NHLer and Ladd is burried in the Minors.

Having Ladd in this definitely changes things a little. There might be some retention on Parise too. I guess we'll have to see what the final details are. Still I would have probably rather just tried to LTIR Ladd or buy him out than moving him for an even longer contract. Parise might still be producing a little now but I'm not sure that'll still be true in a year or two.

Can?t even just go take a leak in the middle of practice today without someone tweeting about it

A Ladd Buy out after this season would carry a caphit of 4.8M for 3 seasons. Parise at a full cap hit would be 2.7M more. The last 2 years of Parise's contract is 1M each so he could retire or go on LTIR at that point if he isn't effective any more. It's Extra 2.7M for a player with a 50ish point floor pretty good.

I'm getting ready to be angry about Dubas not committing to a course of action here.

He's on pace for 49 points this season and that's with his highest shooting percentage of his career. 50 points is his ceiling, not floor.

David Pagnotta says Vancouver is out on Barrie. (boo) and then some other Vancouver reporter said that the Canucks were "priced out" on Barrie (yay)

Only yay if it means they can't beat another teams offer rather that meet what Dubas is asking for.

I was hoping for the former rather than the latter.  8)

Any guesses on AAV? I'm going to say $5.75M

5.25-5.5

I would say at the time of his signing Ladd's contract made more sense than this does, and well, we know how that ended up.

Green, AA, Ennis. No difference makers but the Oilers already have a couple of those.

Yup. Lot of money and term who a good but not great defensive C, who had to basically double his career shooting percentage to get his second 40+ point season. I hope he got an NMC.

Same here. Hoping something shakes out. I don't mind not adding but it's just bad asset management to spin a player with term into a UFA and then let them walk. Bozak/JVR all over again.
