What Jamal Mayers had to say on Twitter about the Patrick Sharp stuff:

Re: The NHL Thread
 

A steep price by the Hawks. I was like I don't know if I'd do that. But then I remembered that some guys will have yo be gone to free up cap space won't they? Gotta go for it while you can I guess.

Friedman said last night a playoff team in the East was making a push for Yandle. Bruins can't have the space, Caps don't need, NYR doesn't have the space, Isles have no need so that only leaves a few teams. TBL, Detroit or maybe the Pens? Habs are an outside possibility but don't see as much of a need there. Come on Ken Holland.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It would be nice if they would at least save some trades for tomorrow :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

leggo Flyers!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Thanks for the help last night

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun is saying the Wings are making a hard push for Yandle. So that could make today or tomorrow fun for me if that happens. Here is hoping.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Islanders have played 18 games in last 33 days. Man, that seems like a lot.

Apparently, we won't be making any moves because everyone is asking for 1 of our 4 top untouchable studs, all of whom should be either top 6 f or top 4 d.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Your stat made me think of what I read yesterday. Wings have played 17 out of their last 23 on the road and went 15-6-2 during that stretch. This fucking team. ;)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah...honestly, it seems like complete nonsense. I don't buy into it.

Hawks clearly wanting Kane's season to not be over yet.

And yes, they'll have to clear some cap space still. Bickell is the most obvious first choice to go.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I will be staring at Twitter the next 26 hours. Sorry to my family. It's an addiction.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Glencross to Caps. Nice pickup that addresses a need.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Return on Glencross is a 2nd and a 3rd. I'm honestly not overly thrilled about it. He's fine I guess but he's not top line material, plus he's traditionally a left winger yes? Meh, whatever. I guess adding him can't hurt but it still doesn't fix the top line RW issue

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Honestly won't surprise me if they flip Glencross for something better. Just really not understanding why they added another bottom 9 LWer. We've got a bunch of those

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Giving up 2 picks this year seems like a lot for that people consider a top 9 guy.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He waived his NTC to go to the Caps so guessing he's staying.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh yeah, forgot about the NTC. Well, whatever I guess. Still just not really understanding what need he really fills. We're in desperate need of a top line RWer. Glencross ain't that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I guess he'll improve the look of the 2nd line, which could use an upgrade

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Depth. Winning the Cup is all about depth. Reliable veteran that can do it all. Two way player, pretty universally loved by all his teammates and fans, etc.

Getting him without sacrificing anything on the current roster is a nice move if you're trying to win it all.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, that's a fair point. I mean I don't hate the pick up don't get me wrong. He'll definitely improve a shaky second line. Will allow Troy Brouwer to move into a bottom 6 role where he should be.

Lockman, heard anything more about Sharp? I've been hearing it sounds like he's gonna stay in CHI. Also heard DET might be in on him. Know anything I don't?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Watching Leafs/Kings game 7 from 93. The goalies gear is so small. Defensemen are bigger these days.

Wings can't afford him past this season. A lot of RFAs this summer, including Nyquist. Plus for Hawks to move him they have to give him 48 hours to submit a list. They never asked and we're 25 hours from the deadline. Not going anywhere.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I know people are saying he's being shopped, but I think the only way Bowman would move Sharpie would be if something blew him away. I would be surprised if he's being actively shopped, and tend to believe that Bowman is merely listening to what people are offering.

If Sharp isn't here in 48 hours, I would be completely and utterly SHOCKED. I don't see him moving. The Hawks can unload salary in a lot of other ways (Bickell, Shaw) without getting rid of someone that was talented enough to play on Team Canada last year and was an All Star MVP.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I figured would happen. Moving him really never made sense to me. Especially with Kane going down.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yup, very good point.

It's possible Bowman was just testing the waters to see what Sharp would bring back in a trade, but I didn't think he'd be a piece they'd move until MAYBE this offseason...but even then, I think he's staying put.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He was never really a fit for Washington anyway. He likes to do kind of what Ovie likes to do offensively. He's a right handed shot that likes to sit at the left circle and shoot from that side. He has a heavy one timer from the point and the left circle.

He'd be no good on a line with the great 8.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The rumor I kept hearing was Joel Ward and a pick. That's not anywhere close to enough for Sharp, I wouldn't think

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If they trade him, I could see him going at the draft. They could get a nice return on him if they choose to move him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

kind of a classless avs team last night

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Possible Yandle trade to NYR coming. Damn.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Here's how the Hurricanes welcomed Jack Hillen to the fold (lulz inside)

http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks...anes-stall.jpg

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah... this is what I just saw too. And it's breaking my heart. Hearing Girardi might be part of deal... another guy I'd like on the Avs, although not as much as Yandle.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And a high end prospect and another 1st. If true Rangers giving up a lot of first rounders the last few years. Wings did it a lot but after they had won Cups and no cap. Big risk for Rangers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 3m3 minutes ago
Awaiting details on Yandle to NYR trade (pending trade call) but ARI believed to be picking up 50 per cent of Yandle's money.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Girardi not going. Kypreos needs to not be such a moron and wait for confirmation.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

my heart is literally falling to pieces right now. Oh well, I honestly wasn't expecting the Avs to do too much at the deadline. Will look forward more towards the offseason. Maybe another look at Yandle then, depending on what NYR wants to do with him. Still on for a Yandle/ROR deal with NYR??? A guy can dream, right?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 20s20 seconds ago
Duclair, Moore and a 1st for Yandle, plus Yotes retain 50% of Yandle's salary.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yep, sounds like it's done. Yandle to NYR for Anthony Duclair (prospect), picks (including a first). ARI pays half the salary

Hefty price ag, but the Rags just got better

Re: The NHL Thread
 

New York is in a win it now mindset. They got real close last year, lets see if this works out for them. (I hope they fail miserably)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Rangers need to win a Cup soon for all the first rounders and now prospects they are giving up.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You and me both bud

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So tomorrow is shaping up to be rather uneventful. Who's really even left?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

McKenzie says Girardi was never part of it. Kypreos either had bad sources or just makes shit up. Suter plays for the Wings too.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Kings one year, Rangers the next? A girl can dream!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The first rounder for the Yotes is a 2016 pick

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wonder if the Flyers will find buyers for any of there other defensemen.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Because the Rangers don't have one this year. Tampa has that one

While disappointed Wings didn't get Yandle, I likes this tweet from Bob Duff:
"#RedWings fans lamenting Yandle to #NYR forgetting how Detroit used him like a turnstile in 2011 playoffs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

wow, wow. Coyotes are going to be so good with Duclair, Domi, and possible McDavid, Eichel, or Marner.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yup. Plus another 1st this year and at least 2 next year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Coyotes also got NYRs 2nd rounder this year

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy shit!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I mean...the Rags are REALLY going for it this year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well go Caps, Isles, Pens or Bruins. Whoever faces them in the playoffs. Love when teams make these moves and fail. Ya know...unless it's mine.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm the opposite, I'm really pulling for the Rangers.

I love Yandle, Hank, Nash, McDonagh, Brassard, Moore, and Stepan. I still think they're about one or two pieces short, but holy hell.

I really want to see Hank hoist the Cup one time. This picture last year really made me feel for the guy:

Re: The NHL Thread
 

https://twitter.com/DaveLozo/status/477668784879464448

I'm all in on the Rangers if the Hawks can't win it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So tomorrow we got maybe Zidlicky, Petry, Mihalec(I know that misspelled) maybe Bozak, Dion, the rest of the Leafs, maybe Cole from the Stars.

Glencross almost no playoff experience. So the jury will be out on him.

Caps will make another move for another forward. Stewart makes the most sense

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If the Rangers and Preds meet in the Finals, there will be 7 1-0 games.

McDonagh-Girardi
Yandle-Klein
Staal-Boyle

Seriously? And THEN you still need to get it by the best goaltender in the world?

Christ.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings might be forced to make move for forward. Helm hurt and not sure how long.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm kinda hoping the Caps go for him

And fuck the Rangers. Fuck em so hard

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Has their ever been a trade deadline where stempniak hasn't been traded?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hearing rumors again that the Caps are talking to Edmonton about Jordan Eberle. Possibly for Mike Green. Would even out Eberle's cap hit.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I want tomorrow to be over with already

Re: The NHL Thread
 

4-1 Panthers over TBL. Wings could be within 1 and have 3 games in hand.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Cole to the Wings. Guessing Helm is out a while. Still think they look for D tomorrow. Petry or Zidlicky would be my guesses.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Damn just heard. I kinda wanted Cole. I like him. Wonder how much truth there is to this Eberle rumor

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I hope someone takes Coburn for a first

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings give up 2 prospects, apparently one who didn't want to be here and another whose stock had dropped, along with a 2nd for Cole and a third. I'm ok with this. Adds depth and size.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Call up Sather. Lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Cole is a good get.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Watching the TSN guys on NHL Network and they were talking that the Wings were kicking tires on Dion. That scares me...a lot.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Are the Rangers planning on trading every single pick they have?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sather sucks with them for the most part so why not.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Obviously not gospel but I've seen a few Oilers insiders say Eberle isn't going anywhere. Personally, he's the last player I'd want traded. He's been their most consistent all-around player the past few years.

You could have Yakupov though.....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I like their team more than last year's. we'll see what happens though
glad mats is still in blue (knock on wood)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, no thanks. I've seen some stuff saying Eberle isn't going anywhere and I've seen other stuff saying the Oil are entertaining offers from the Caps, Habs and Bruins. That's the problem with the Twitter age, information overload. If I'm Edmonton I don't trade him either, although I think the Caps could build a pretty enticing package. They've got a real good goalie prospect I'm sure the Oilers could use.

Anyway, as for stuff actually happening on the ice, Caps finally got back to looking like themselves tonight. I guess a game against the Leafs will do that :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Old Stevie Y burning the midnight oil. Landing Coburn and trading Connolly to the Bruins.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What a great haul for the Flyers

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Great return for Coburn. Hope they unload one more D man today. And of course Vinny. But that seems doubtful.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flyers have a ton of top 90 picks this draft. I wonder if they package one or two with a prospect to get rid of Vinny.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Gonna go off my experience. Wings in 2004 had Lidstrom, Chelios, Schneider, Hatcher, Fischer, Dandenault and Wooley as their to 7 and Cujo in net. Lost in round 2. We'll see.
I think I've said it before, but I am very happy and was very lucky to see the Wings win when they did. From 98-04 they traded away a lot of picks but had no cap to work with, so could add through free agency during that time and let the late picks (Dats and Hank and so on) to develop. That mentality carried through after the lost season too. Now here we are almost 20 years after the first Cup and they are still there with none of those players and more young guys coming up. The Rangers could be in a lot of trouble in a few years because the cap will hinder them.

Pissed I have to listen/watch Sportsnet on NHL.com. So weird, we get TSN on the NHL Network last night but get Sportsnet today.

About today, with Tampa getting better now on D, I think the Wings push to get a D man now to help out. It'll be interesting.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings kicking the tires on ol' "loves to hit the zamboni doors with his slapshot" Dion Phaneuf, eh?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Dreger and Bob mentioned it last night. I agree with what some guys on TSN said though, the right situation, he'd be ok. He's not a first pairing guy, he's a 2nd pairing guy now. Huge salary retention has to be the other way. Like 2mil off the cap hit to make me even think about it. People keep throwing out Weiss and Kindl. I don't trade Weiss now, I do it in the offseason. You want him there for depth. But even if you do that deal, Kindl is up in 2 years and Weiss in 3. While the salary matches up for the next 2-3 years, Mr Elisha Cuthbert has 6 left. No way I do that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Looking forward to watching the Wing collapse under the weight of their age in the post season. Overachieved this season big time.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup officially my favorite non-Rangers fan poster on ants!


I love that we are going for it! Yes it could blow up on us, but we have a good team now! Why wait!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

People have been saying that since 2010.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

K, that's not random at all. Rangers average age is higher than the Wings but...ok.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It is early, just felt like I needed to respond to your post on the last page rooting for it to blow up in NYR face :lol.

Nothing will make me root against a team more than their fans rooting against my team for no reason :grimey

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shit they were saying that in 1999. Wings could lose in round one (currently expect them to) but it won't be because of their age, it'll be because Tampa is dangerous and TBL is older. Wings leading goal scorers are 25 and 24 and their goalie is 30.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lol the Rangers are going to choke. They don't have a 1st rounder until 2018.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If history has taught us anything, it's that the Detroit Red Wings will find some crazy 7th round pick in their system to call up and save their god damn season if all hope looks lost. They'll always be competitive.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Eh, just more because the media makes it such a hype about it. nothing against the team. "OMG best team ever!"...and then they lose. As a Detroit sports fan I remember hearing how bad the Lakers were gonna smoke the Pistons in 04 and the Pistons should have swept them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Also it might have been missed, Petry to the Habs. Not sure how he'll work out. He's a big ? to me because Oilers suck. Maybe he'll do very well with a good team.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not having a draft pick won't make them choke this year. These moves make them closer and that is all any team can do. If it doesn't work they have other players they can move in the next few years for picks. There is always a way.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wataching TSN last night they showed the guys with the longest trade deadline streaks, where they've made a move on deadline day. Sather...12 years in a row. lol I can't fault NYR for going for it. Your windows are so small, that they have to do it. You'll deal with the no picks later, if you have to. If you win, it's worth it for these guys.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Voynov to Philly apparently. Good lord, this is terrible.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Unless Crosby gets traded today, that is the craziest deal of the day.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Coburn traded :multi

Voynov news :BANG

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Voynov stuff is BS, just an fyi. I did find it hard to believe.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Petry is...alright. Nothing special but he's alright. It was a fair, boring trade.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I get to see Yandle and Cole, and maybe more, on Wednesday when I'm at Wings/Rangers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Exactly this. It's the Detroit Fucking Red Wings.
