[@NQProductions]

Today's trades were honestly wild, especially the Sergachev one. That caught me off guard.

[@saschaganser9671]

I wonder why. Utah was for sure going after D men, they had 0! guys under contract before.

[@FreddyHajjar]

What extensive coverage of the trades. Impressive. I'm subscribing

[@Ace-x4h]

Gotta update that Kings logo

[@teeganreed7989]

Well we know how Vegas is about trading away goal tenders….

[@JD200_]

Trouba to the RWs would get them into playoffs. Big loss for the Rangers if the trade goes thru

[@snfriedm]

The main takeaway from today is I feel absolutely AWFUL for people who were yotes fans. UHC might make the yoffs this year.

[@ImMrPenguinz]

yeah I’m just deeply saddened

[@BurtTurbo]

Go Utah Clubbers!

[@Wayf4rer]

Armstrong has been a great GM. Utah ownership allowed him to make aggressive moves and spend big money to acquire big name players.

[@nonyabusiness-f9e]

i mean, i dont really care because phoenix itself is stupid and trying to play hockey there is just doubly moronic. but yeah that team is actually starting to look really good.

[@tombillard5264]

They were my backup team for years they sucked the whole time maybe now that will change lol. Lawson Crouse would make a good bruin

[@JayBergie]

It's honestly funny that a very capable starting goalie like Thompson usually gets a 2nd round pick in a trade, but bottom 6 grinders like Jeannot and Malenstyn fetch just as good, if not greater returns 😂

[@Taubogason.40]

Goalies got zero value in general at the moment. Seem like gms do not value them as important for a deep run in the playoffs 😅

[@JD200_]

Goalies are voodoo. Not worth investing in them unless they’re a sure bet

[@ItsNathanB]

Both of Washington’s goalies in Lindgren and Thompson are both full righty’s (opposite hand). I wonder when the last time that happened both goalies on an NHL team where both righty’s

[@Oogim1]

What happened?

[@beinyconway8593]

"the same kind of role as Jeff Carter" is exactly what I'm worried about lol

[@OhNyquist]

😂😂

[@irocz11]

honestly though, yea he is right lol. I like Hayes as a person but my god he brought down everyone that played on the line with him for the Blues last year which is why they had to move him.

[@bensimmonsfor3332]

I'm so sad as a lighting fan. Sergy is a beast.

[@JVreemer]

Just a reason to cheer on Utah as your western team. Cap casualties are never forgotten.

[@johanjotun1647]

condolences Loosing serg and stammer is nightmare fuel 😮‍💨

[@Wayf4rer]

The team will be better spreading his cap out more evenly. We got some of Sergachev's best years too. Worth it.

[@spencerwixom6214]

Utah fan here, we’ll treat him well. You’ll love Geekie.

[@Something7348]

Yeah but Tampa might be cooking up some strong FA signings especially if they really do go all out for Guentzel and maybe one of the big names defenseman in FA

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

Goalie market is weak this year, that is why Logan Thompson cost only 2 third round. Look at the Markstrom and Ullmark trade !

[@101JuventusFan]

A point you missed out on Malenstyn is that he blocks shots. 93 in 81 games last year. It seems like the best way to describe him is that he’s a confused defensmen that plays wing 🤷‍♂️

[@OhNyquist]

😂😂

[@JD200_]

He played 81 games last year?!! I legit never heard of him before today

[@GromitMug_]

As a rangers fan do NOT give me a happy heart attack with that thumbnail

[@McMold]

Yall defended him being captain but now that he has trade rumors u want him gone😂 I get it tho

[@DerpDerpityDerp]

Man.. as a Detroit fan..wtf are we doing right now? I'm whelmed with our draft, but the trade of Walman with 53rd overall this year, for NHL legend Future Considerations really got me puzzled. Maybe Walman liked one of Yzerman's daughters' Instagram posts. 🤷I suppose that's worth the one-way ticket across the country.

[@jamesbryant2708]

Walman was a healthy scratch during the stretch run as the Wings tried to make a final push for the playoffs. Something must have happened behind the scenes for Walman to burn the bridge.​@@DerpDerpityDerp

[@marcroy5089]

He's single handedly been annoying the entire league and nerfing the rangers all in one fell swoop. He's one of the more impactful players in the League.

[@Rangerandjetfan]

@@DerpDerpityDerp. Good luck with trouba

[@ezz204]

Malenstyn is a fantastic defensive forward. His line was deployed the most in the D zone to take faceoffs of any other in the league. The eclipsing 20 points and only being -1 on the season (on a team with an awful goal differential) is indicative of a sneakily great pickup for Buffalo.

[@Josh-wi6yx]

Wow there is no way Holtz and Schmid couldn’t have gotten better returns.. I feel like if Holtz could have at least gotten consistent 3rd line minutes he could easily get 20+ goals and 50+points. Schmid didn’t even play that terribly last season (Devils defence was awful) and he was amazing 22-23. Devils better be planning something big or it just doesn’t make sense..

[@keroflobs]

I think the Kings wanted a player to bolster their physicality because I don’t see Englund playing for them next year since the D room is crowded. Probably banking he improves his number and is someone that replaces the 4th line grundstrom role and with the younger players coming up as well. Roy and Arvidson are not returning and Lewis/Englund probably don’t either

[@AnshDoesYT]

I am so happy that the leafs finally picked up a proper defensive dman 🎉🎉🎉

[@colefreer]

McCrimmon and Thompson both later said he asked for a trade out of Vegas

[@benoitrobitaille5235]

Its so brutal that Tampa received back arguably less than a third of what they gave to acquire Jeannot and that less of a third is still considered an overpayment. Still a vet, a first, third and 5th round pick deficit from acquiring and then trading away that guy.

[@TopNic21]

Cal Foote was a negative asset. He had that Rape trial going on and I think Brisebois really wanted to get rid of him. He also isn't very good at the NHL level.

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

how do you figure that? Im still new to understanding the ins and outs of trades

[@sirmrbutters4892]

i mean the way i view it is that we basically gave up a 1st and a 3rd for 2 years of jeannot being a rental. did it work out? no. but a first and a 3rd for a rental isnt crazy

[@benoitrobitaille5235]

I get it, Brisebois did a magic trick recuperating assets for Jeannot, now it looks less bad. It makes me think of the Dubois trade being seen as a major W for the Kings GM who did the massive error of trading the farm for him in the first place and signed that massive horrible contract as well. At least Brisebois traded magic beans instead of established NHL players so there is a chance they all flop, that would be tragic for the Preds, like you failed to develop 5 different picks that you got from trading one of your best young asset at the time that wasn’t developing well … yikes.

[@jimjohnson9808]

It will be interesting if Trouba is signed whether that means the Ghost walks. Wings are still rumored to go after Kane or Stamkos. The Wings know that likely 15-16 million will be tied up with Raymond and Seider.

[@The_Room_2_Doggys_Revenge]

imo, the Sergachev trade is a perfect example of a trade where everyone wins, imcludimg the players : Utah arguably gets franchise player and can build around him; Tampa rejuvenates, which they need if they want to stay a contender, and frees some cap space to keep adding; Sergachev finally becomes a #1 d-man; JJ Moser gets to play for a team that should still make the playoffs, which has to be exciting

[@seanmoreau1471]

Not to mention with stamkos leaving geekie is a great pickup

[@Deadly_Ricardo_67]

Agreed guentzel is now with Tampa. Most likely going to sign a 7 year deal. It give Tampa flexibility to improve their bottom 6 to. I wouldn’t be shocked if Tyler Johnson comes back to Tampa. Play on their 3rd line again

[@BHenz1006]

As a Sabres fan, I could not be happier for Utah HC. Getting a new owner has clearly given them a push to make things happen. I hope they do what I as a Sabres fan have been hoping we do for years. I hope they get sneaky good this year

[@zachgoddard6445]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it Holtz as the or one of the main piece(s) for a Saros trade back at the deadline and now this is the return for Holtz?

[@saschaganser9671]

Tanev i have a very different opinion. I like him as a player but he`s getting 35 next season, depending on the deal he might become a really bad contract if he wants to get term & money. If it`s a 2 year deal around 4m that`s alright, but if it`s longer or more it might not be good. Tanev has played tons of hockey, very physical and blocked 1000 shots in his career, there will be a time when he has to pay the toll for that. And it`s very likely this toll will come during his next contract.

[@lizardjesus2501]

Toronto has to make some serious changes for next season

[@jttramble_60]

To Boston Vinni Lettieri and 2024 4th rd pick, to Minnesota Jakub Lauko and 2024 4th rd pick

[@HushPuppy106]

I'm sure they could of got Melenstyn for like a 4th-6th lmao

[@PierreLucDubois80]

Nope, he was a part of the best defensive line in hockey.

[@Rangerandjetfan]

Nah he’s acctuly a good player

[@gamingtyme3209]

I didn’t love the Holtz deal at first but if we were only ever going to have him on the 4th line, we might as well have someone who is actually fit for a 4th line role

[@tomblade]

Malenstyn for a second. Thompson for a third. Wtf?! 😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@csharp48]

Thompson was two 3rds

[@saschaganser9671]

It was clear that Utah would make some moves for D. They had tons of picks, but not a single D men signed. They got Sergachev, great deal but expensive. Moser is a good player, and Geekie was a 1st rounder with a big body. I actually heared rumors that Utah might take Nurse from the Oilers or Trouba from the Rangers. Trouba to DET is a hot rumor now, which i can`t really make sense of. They have Seider, Holl and Petry. One of these guys has to go if Truba comes. Sergachev - if he can emerge as a leader of a D, Utah made a great move. But i`m not sure if Sergachevs contract is like the one for Nurse - 2nd pair D for 1st pair money.

[@csharp48]

Thompson requested a trade. He was woken up from a call from McCrimmon telling him he got traded.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

Leafs Could sign Tanev *leafs fans ear perk up like a dog's* leafs fans remember our cap situation *lets out a mournful HOWL as its probably 1 year*

[@KingJGMB]

Habs legend Sergachev!

[@yoholmes273]

"Marino is very good defensively..." Said no person who actually watched him play ever. Marino STINKS defensively and this season was one the WORST +/- players in the entire NHL. All Marino provides is scant offense. But cool fantasy analysis bro 😎 😂

[@APawlack]

Utah actually has 36 million cap space. With Weber on LTIR and in the Hall of Fame, I don’t think he can play anymore lol

[@planetcaravan2925]

Why

[@APawlack]

@@planetcaravan2925 well you have to be a few years post career to be eligible for hall of fame, and since his body can’t take it anymore he hasn’t played for a few years and can’t anymore

[@johanjotun1647]

If Trouba can ulnock the violence in Morty and Simone, We could become a team that your team dosn't look forward to playing anymore

[@Taubogason.40]

Kinda sad that we never saw Arizona spending their like 20 second round picks. We now saw on one day how much you could do if you are allowed to spend with those assets.

[@stevenbyers1504]

The Caps had more than just Lindgren on contract after the Darcy Kuemper trade, they also had Hunter Shepard and Clay Stevenson on contract. Shepard actually got called up a few times when Darcy was out with injury. Most Caps fans anticipated Shepard to come in and slot in as Lindgren's backup after going back to back in Hershey. Though I did think that Brian MacLellan did very well with all the moves made today.

[@OhNyquist]

I meant goalies under contract that are expected to play in the NHL

[@logand3957]

Crazy how Utah might actually be decent this year. Unless we say that every year about that group? Why trade Holtz AND Schmid for that kind of return though? Just puzzling

[@Wheelofthyme1010]

Were you happy with the Detroit selections?

[@dimasik870]

50/50. Все же очень Хотелось,чтоб пикнули эйзермана( Нам крайне необходим снайпер такого уровня! Хотя нюгард тоже обладает элитным броском и помимо этого габаритный и работоспособный,вообщем хз,время покажет)

[@wman887]

Man, from a flames fan I feel it is necessary to not underrate torontos tanev deal. Tanev is the most important player on the ice for most teams. When the flames had tanev on the ice it was a completely different game than without him. He is an animal and is a massive asset to any team, especially come playoffs

[@-phenom-]

Good job on the trades and breaking them down. I think many of these moves made sense for both sides and I can see them working out. I'm not sold Tanev is the answer for the Leafs, but we'll see. If it ends up being a 4 or 5 year deal, it will not age well. I see injuries in his future.

[@zenarcher9633]

That Holtz deal could be a steal for Vegas, very curious from the Devils' viewpoint. Sergachev has had such horrible luck with injuries, I hope he finally is healthy in Utah.

[@TopNic21]

As a Lightnong fan, Sergachev is an amazing player and a classy guy who will do very well in Utah. I also really like the return.

[@spencerwixom6214]

Utah fan, you’ll love Geekie. Think he’s a super underrated prospect

[@TopNic21]

@spencerwixom6214 yeah I am excited because we need forward depth. Hopefully he makes the team in tryouts

[@LudwigBeefoven]

I think that Tampa knows things about Sergachev's long-term health that Utah does not know. Just watch Connor Geekie develop in Tampa. This trade will not age well for Utah.

[@noahsmith4115]

This reeks of lightning fan

[@casewojo6186]

Cats and Wings fan. I do NOT want Trouba…. Kane though. I NEED KANE.

[@nathanwoodcockn7184]

As a Devils fan, the way I look at it, is that the goalie we drafted in the second round for Marino, is as good, if not better than schmid. And Holtz moving was inevitable. However, with all the cap space they've been able to gain, they'd better make a big move via trade or free agency for a d man. The draft overall makes sense, with the caveat that they land a majo D Man

[@ryder5122]

Thompson requested a trade just so everyone knows it wasn't completely out of left field

[@__._._-_._.__]

Utah getting booed made me happy 😭 mfs rlly said “can’t boo us we didn’t even do anything” while they gave their team the worst name/logo to exist.

Why did the devils get so little for holtz, holy smokes. Thats a rough deal. And of course its the golden showers that get him

[@andrewi559]

I am legitimately so mad for how Fitz utilized him in the last 2 seasons. Healthy scratch most of last season instead of letting him play in the AHL, and then not utilizing him in the top 6 to gain experience doing what he was drafted for when the opportunity to do so presented itself. Fitz disasterclass on that front.

[@devilsfan23]

Devils should have given Holtz one more year

[@user-by3nd4rm6c]

Ruff proposition

[@saadkhanimran8327]

A few things on Vegas's trades. Logan Thompson requested a trade, nto out of bad blood but for a bigger role and GM McCrimmon told him as he woke up that he'd been traded. Still a champ for staying back and signing autographs and I'm still upset he's gone. Regarding the NJ Devils deal, Akira Schmid will be the 3rd stringer, as announced by the GM.

[@walker68175]

I'm pretty ok with the Kings' draft overall, although again, I'm still very uncomfortable surrendering a 2nd for Jeannot. There's probably something Rob sees in him, but let's be fr, he hasn't been good since Nashville, which is actually just 3-4 years ago which is crazy. And even with the Preds, he only has that one season to speak of.

[@saschaganser9671]

Jeannot was an absolute disaster for TBL. Basically a year worth of picks for a bottom 6 player, signed him too expensive and now traded him for some picks that propably never result in anything. LAs 2nd rounder should be somewhere around 50....

[@ninchubs]

also the Caps have 12 million in cap space, idk where you got the info for washington but it’s all wrong

[@josephlee8387]

pronounced Vay ges

[@lazzyfrog94]

So Washington traded a second round pick next year to get a winger who is much better than shipped a guy who would fight for 4th line minutes next year? Kind of feels like they just were able to acquire a great prospect a year before. The second round picks wash out but they got a much better winger for next year. For just a little extra cap. What’s the downside for them?

[@Disciple_of_Larkin71]

Is trouba confirmed to be coming to the wings?

[@Rangerandjetfan]

Ye

[@dtmuffinman]

You'll have to amend that Utah projected blue line, as I'm fully expecting them to sign Brandon Montour.

[@Something7348]

I’m sad Sergy is gone, but I’m glad they cleared some cap space although it sucks the Stammer probably won’t come back but I seriously hope he goes to Detroit as they are one of my favorite teams besides Tampa. Plus a top 6 with Stammer, Kane, Larkin, Raymond, Debrincat, and Compher sounds deadly

[@ninchubs]

so, your wrong on the goalie part to washington, they Have Lindgren (now Thompson) Shepard and Stevenson all under contract

[@wbj2000]

The Leafs will have to open up cap space to sign Tanev or fill up their roster with sub-par players.

[@Hockeyislife0826]

Tanev could help, he was fantastic for Dallas, I just worry they see him as the partner for Reilly. He's too old to be getting top minutes. They still need a top 2 defenseman
