2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion

[DelPen]

Kingerski saying Eller is drawing interest from contending teams.

Move him. Pick/prospect = cap space. Do the same for Acciari and Ned or Jarry. Or both.

Hopefully we see several moves today and bringing in some picks prospects etc

Carter is the guy I'd like to move. Retain 50 percent and get a pick.

I forget about him. Wonder if Carter even has any interest.

It doesn't matter. Would rather not waste another retention on him. He's got 20 games left and he's gone anyways. Just let him sail into the sun at this point.

We have two used today, if Carter is the final deal of the day and we have one spot left then what’s the problem? We get the two used on UFA’s back when their contracts expire. Would maybe handcuff a draft day deal but depends if it resets after the season is over or free agency since players aren’t paid past the last day of the last game.

I wonder what EK at 50% retained would net us? Maybe that would be the move to bring in the BIG prospects.

I can’t imagine that Sullivan would make more than 50% of Karlsson would and Sullivan would be hired ASAP unless he wants to take off and focus on Team USA for the next two years but that’s doubtful.

I want to see what Karlsson does under a new coach before I panic trade him.

I don't understand what you are saying about Sullivan.

Keeping a guy like EK is pointless if you are rebuilding. If the organization is in denial about rebuilding at this point, we are in some real trouble.

You can’t eat $5 million a year for 3 more years after this. That’s **** stupid rebuilding or not.

Yea. BUTTT, if the return is big enough and you are realistic about the rebuilding process. But, it would definitely need to be a huge return.

First trade of the day...


Pierre LeBrun
@PierreVLeBrun
Pending trading call, Evgeni Kuznetsov is being traded to the Carolina Hurricanes for a 2025 third-round pick.
Washington is retaining 50 percent on Kuznetsov (one more year next season at a $7.8 M AAV)

Why, Carolina, why?

Because hopefully there are bigger trades today that would help us than using it on Carter. I would be ok if this is done at the final minute of the deadline and we have not used the retention spot yet.

I guess it depends on the return and what you need available to move Reilly Smith and/or Lars Eller. I would rather remove any bloated contracts that are here beyond this season - start the purge now and restart in the offseason.

Unless the return would warrant it (which I doubt would be much), why bother with moving Carter with retention at this point? He's only here for another 20 or so games and then his contract is up. I'd rather move Reilly Smith so he's not a $5 million boat anchor next season. Or, if there was a way - move Graves too!

Exactly that. Agree with you and lemiuexreturns above. If Carter is the only deal left and we have the open retention spot still left, sure. Assuming Carter wants to be moved, etc..

But prioritize Smith/Eller for that retention if you need it. Get picks and cap space to re-tool this summer.

Going to go grab some chicken fajitas at my favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch and take the rest of the day off. Hopefully we can get excited for this next chapter in the organization that we are about to live through.

Big grain. Yohe's article has a Tuesday date on it. I ignored the post and immediately stopped following them.

For the record, I’m pronouncing that like a sound effect. “Whuh-pggggg”.

2nd and 3rd round pick is the rumored return.

That's not very much for him. He has 26 goals this year.

Teams are trading 27 picks now lol. 3 years in the future. Someone keep track of that one lol

[Mad City Mike]

Getting anything for him is a bonus.

I heard somewhere that pure rentals don’t get much of a return.

Looks to be a buyer market this year. For rentals that is almost always the case.

Bunting sure is slow.

Hoping to stay healthy just in case a contender wants him in the next few hours!

Dubas REALLY looking to the future.
