After his 3 month assessment of our team, if he can't change more than hamonic for Dermott, that tells me he thinks this team has the right tools to take the next step forward (which it doesn't). Why would that tell you that. It's been 3 months. Not a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, that still had a prime Malkin and Crosby. Not like anyone who went there didnt know what the goal was, so he had freedom to deal first round picks. It's totally different here, can't afford to trade first round picks at this stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the cap era, that I can remember but before the cap, my guess: Rags, Redwings, Penguins and etc cause they can add depth and build there rosters with no cap constraints. But the core in both era's will still need to be acquired mainly through the draft. To add: both Kings & Ducks are almost done with there rebuild.

DSVII Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Unless you were looking to move a core player for peanuts (the highest paid traded forward was Toffoli at $4.25 mil) now wasn't the time for a big splash. Hold firm and don't trade someone out for the sake of having some action happen. We'll see what free agency brings. Remember too that Pearson and Myer's full NTCs expire July 1st (7 team and 10 team list respectively) Edited March 21, 2022 by DSVII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say, almost done but there roster is filled with young recently drafted players, to go along with some old core players: Getz & Fowler. Imo, they are looking to load up, in the next two deep drafts cause they are have alot of picks in the earlier rounds. The Ducks seems to had already surpassed the ever re tooling Canucks, over the same time period of there current rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing pat is something I could've done if they hired me. Patience Dazzle: this is the first TDL, of our third in a row rookie GM. Willing to give the new crew, till the start of pre season - if there is one. I get it and very underwhelming TDL, after all the hype of the JR, hiring. Anyways, it seems obvious the major transaction(s) will be done in the offseason cause good chance, they were standing pat to give JBS' (expensive) roster, a chance to make the playoffs. Playoff dream just recently, ended.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's faster, cheaper, more physical and exactly the type of player we need to start putting in our lineup to change the look of the bottom lines. Dont think youve seen lockwood play or know much about him. These arent different makers. If anything, lockwood might just become a decent 4th liner here but youre expecting way too much.. just like fans did with rafferty, bailey, chatfield, gaudette.

Dekey Pete Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Obviously mgmt doesn't believe there are strong chances to make the playoffs, and for that reason I would have hoped to see a bit more movement this TDL. Particularly in some higher picks so we can work on supporting our young core guys when they are ready to challenge. A 4th round pick is kind of lackluster... hopefully they do a better job at the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Other than Halak, we addressed pretty much anything really pressing. I don't think management felt a need to do a full overhaul at the deadline. I think they feel they will get better value on changes this summer.
