How did JR/PA do on TDL 2022? (10 being best, 1 being worst)

[higgyfan]

The management let it be known that the only players not for sale were Pete, Quinn and Thatcher.

By looking at all our glorious proposals for TD, it appears that we overvalue most of the

players on the team.

 

Suck it up guys.  Maybe they can acquire more cap space and a couple of hockey trades during

the offseason.

[JayDangles]

Well let's see.. 

Free up cap space - No

Get bigger - No

Get younger - No

Cash in on high value assets(JT,Brock,Garland) - No

Move Halak- No

Asset Management( Motte for 4th) - I guess....

Jeez, I can't believe what I'm reading in the Motte trade thread in regards to new management.

 

- We cleared cap, got capital.

- Motte was market value, emotional connection to the player doesn't make them more valuable to the rest of the league.

- Every other player is still on contract and can be dealt in the off season, where most of our moves are likely to happen, as has been reported the whole time. No need to make knee jerk trades.

- New management IS following their STRATEGY. Taking their time and making moves that support that is crucial and something past management never did. Let them take their time and create a cup contender.

If you are going to kill the season, kill it. Making us a worse team for a 4th and some cap is just plain dumb.

@awalk This is the future management you wanted? 

Return on Motte seems a bit light, but I like that they saved cap space flipping Hamonic for cheaper, younger Dermott. I like that we got our 3rd round pick back, so if we miss the playoffs, we have our own pick. 

I would have liked to see more moves today, but there wasn't an urgent need to trade anyone outside of pending UFA Motte.

 

Ask me again at the start of next season after the draft and UFA.

I would rather have kept Motte for that outside shot at the playoffs

[hammertime]

Can there be a -10 because that's where I'm at.

Dermott is garbage. Dangle hated the guy. Constantly was calling him out in their losses. Guilty pleasure is watching him explode with each Leafs loss, sue me. 

If we are going to miss the playoffs get the return. This is half asked just like the Kraken were built.

Looking forward to summer to wait for a trade that will never happen..  how often you see a contending team go into summer past free agency with cap space waiting to make trades? Any trade involving Miller or boeser or garland or myer in the summer will have to have = cap dump coming back this way rather than if we traded them at the tdl we could have gotten expiring contract for dump and have cap space going into the summer.

Agreed... Honestly this marks a dissatisfying end to a dissatisfying season.

Well, if they call up DiGuesppe or Lockwood(?) to bring that speed and desire, maybe but Motte was one of the few who decided to show up to the games.

[Steven Stamkos]

Got slightly worse without committing to a rebuild or retool is slightly confusing. We’re trending for a 16 to 10 pick that is crunched you against the cap. Would have thought we would have made a move to ship a player out to a team going for it this year. 

[BureBurrito]

This deadline had Aqua all over it - WERE STILL IN THE PLAYOFFS....no you're not. Quit while ahead and scoop up on high payouts. While they did get Hamonic for Dermott, they failed to acquire multi picks, still stuck with Halak, appears like they are resigning Miller and still need to do a soft rebuild in the locker room....for example, how does a team come up flat every vital game at home??? under multiple coaches?....

 

Offseason is going to be interesting.

Oh no way Dangle said that? In that case

[Slegr]

Not a lot of moves in the NHL in general. 
I saw the future in another dimension where we kept Motte though and he ends up getting a shoulder injury in Wednesday’s game and is on injury reserve for remainder of season, the signs with the Ducks for 3 years, $2.5M/ year.

[48MPHSlapShot]

I guess this is what happens when you have a meddlesome mobster owner that won't let the team rebuild properly because of the off chance of a little bit more playoff revenue, a geriatric president, and a management staff that's half "old boy's club" and half diversity hires.

[hammertime]

Aqua could have literally left the position vacant and we'd be better off than with these sackless lame ducks.

If fans call out the same player over and over, the said player cannot stay in the lineup, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[Nucker 67]

Dermott for Hamonic  

 

Motte for a 4th  

 

Halak  

 

Chiasson  

 

 

[DeNiro]

They made the team worse and got nothing for the future.

 

Kind of the opposite of what you wanna do on deadline day no?

 

I hope this was JR letting Allvin go without training wheels for a bit. He better take over in the summer when the real moves need to get done.

 

Not impressed.

It's tough to be positive about this.
