Rumour is Marchand to FLA.

Marchie and Bennett looked goooood together.

Wonder how much Tre overpaid for Carlo.

[Royle9]

whelp, seems Toronto paid up.

Trading a 2nd for two former firsts that have had 20 goal and 45 point seasons already is what any team should be doing.

That's good asset management no matter how you slice it.

I'm happy that they didn't make any rental acquisitions. That's a win to me.

TDL for rentals rarely pan out as well as teams hope. The window between the deadline and playoffs is too short and there's an adjustment period. We've seen it countless times.

That's why Conroy going and getting Frost and Farabee a month ahead was genius work.

Guys with term and more time to adjust to the team and system. Might actually pay off for the Flames as they fight for a playoff spot, whereas a lot of these pickups won't justify the costs given up..

14 trades on deadline day seems pretty small no?
what are the historic averages?

20-30 I think.

So many already strong teams adding huge pieces this year.... playoffs are going to be fun to watch regardless of if the flames make it or not.

They used to all happen on TDL, but now they seem to happen during the week and a half leading up to (and including) TDL.

[dammage79]

Very light trade deadline. Surprised really but the quality over quantity was pretty significantly larger.

[Hoop27]

Central Division arms race was interesting.

[GioforPM]

I take that Steinberg statement with a grain of salt. Not for sale is not the same as refusing to listen to any offers. I take it that he wasn't marketing Andersson or other vets.

[topfiverecords]

Another one.

Johnson back to the Avs.

‘What we should be doing’. LOL.

First of all, replace ‘we’ with ‘they’. As much as you like to pretend you know what they should be doing, you don’t.

Carlo with 2 years left got 1st + Mintin


I wonder what Rasmus could have gotten...

Maybe the same? There is only one Tre and the Leafs dont have much else. This is a 2027 1st I think

[savardandjokinen]

If beauvillier got a 2nd I bet a healthy Mantha could’ve gotten a 2nd and a prospect

[saillias]

Wow. Tre just did the Hamonic trade v2.0

If Mantha was healthy, I believe that Conroy would have been keeping him due to the position that we find ourselves in..
