The Fucking Offseason Thread - Why bother waiting?

[Habsy]

And despite all that movement those pickups were not the biggest reason for failing to go on a run.

The call was coming from inside the house

I think I still take Dubas over Bergevin.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Trade value of Hallander v. Dermott @1.5x3 v. Kerfoot at 3.5/(1.9)x2.

Trade value of McCann?

 

[Artnes]

Not many Im taking over Dubas at the moment despite his flaws. There are much worse options out there

 

[oscarheyman]

I think I still take Dubas over Bergevin.

Both are like Sam Pollack when compared to Jim Benning.

 

[zeke]

Trade value of McCann?

Hallander + 7th?

Might end up being a double edge sword.
Maybe the 'inside the house' group will now stay the fuk away from the guy that was hired to do the GM duties properly.
If it really was Shanahan that drove that bus to trade all those picks away, then he should be fired way before Dubas imo.

Dude, when you don't know enough to take the horse out back and put it down you won't get any sympathy from other fanbases.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Regardless this sucks. Holl better win the Norris this year.

Dermott/Kerfoot > Hallandar. It was a no brainer.

Dermott/Kerfoot > Hallandar. It was a no brainer.

That seventh though

If we are being honest, there is one bad trade on that list.

Moving midround picks for depth at the deadline is inconsequential. Those picks are easily recouped by Dubas trading down every year.

Hallandar, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th for Kerfoot/Dermott, and deadline depth isn't bad.

If we are being honest, there is one bad trade on that list.

Its about a trend and a body of work. His last few trades have been vastly overpaying for a gudpro and nibbling on bunch of fringe-NHLers. Those nibbles add up.

What kind of asset could we get back that could actually help this team win over the next few years for all those futures? Because right now, all we have to show for them is not losing Travis Dermott in an expansion draft. Hell, even one solid rental asset that could have pushed us past the Habs rather than nibbling on a bunch of barely-NHLers.

 

[Leafin']

I for one am higher on Dermott than most here. I think between him and Sandin we have our LD going forward once we move on from Muzzin.

 

[zeke]

Deadline rentals are always bad deals when you don't win.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Was Muzzin a bad deal?

 

[LeafGm]

Deadline rentals are always bad deals when you don't win.

And some deadline deals are obviously bad when the ink on the paperwork for the deal is still wet. Like the Foligno deal.

Well, obvious to everyone except you, the mainstream media in Toronto and Dubas, I suppose.

 

[Wayward DP]

Trade value of McCann?

Hallander and a 7th
