Tbh I don’t think this deadline was that bad for Ottawa. Giving up a 3rd for Hammer was a poor move, but we have a ton of picks and he can’t be worse than Zaitsev. Best case scenario he bounces back to being a decent defensive defenseman that logs big PK minutes and plays on the 3rd pair with Brannstrom next year. Bad, but salvageable. Everything else was pretty good. We managed to get a reclamation project + pick upgrade for an ECHL goon, a pick for Sanford (he hasn’t been great, and also if Logan Brown plays 8 of the last 22 games we don’t even give up the 4th to STL, and that could happen, he’s played 4 of the last 5 games and they just dealt Sundqvist to bring in Leddy), and the Paul trade was a pretty solid move for a guy that wanted more money than he’s worth, Joseph will likely be a solid middle six contributor for us. I think the Sens did okay for having minimal assets to give up (and I don’t hate resigning Forsberg either, I think that might mean a Murray buyout is coming though).

he didn't look great in his two games with the avs. they should let him finish the year in the ahl.

Quite many what ifs there.

I personally weren't a fan. Thought they'd move Brown half retained for a haul - seems like there was a huge market for cheap mid-6ers. Likes of Tierney and Ennis could've also got you low picks.

Imo they lost more than they gained, and that was a rarity for a seller, given that it certainly was a sellers market.

Hopefully just a trial to get some evaluation and tape at the NHL level before the off season.

The Vegas Glass Knights have around 42M worth of players on IR and LTIR

Kinda surprised by this. Per Scott Powers of The Athletic the Hawks didn’t trade Dylan Strome or Dominik Kubalik. They’re not expected to be re-signed either. His exact words were, ‘the sense is they still won’t be re-signed’.

yea. he looked like in was in over his head. its hard to go from ahl to nhl speed but then to go to the avs who probably have the fastest transition in the league would be difficult. it may be an easier jump in montreal.

Man thats great lots of non qualified guys for us to sign

And apparently some intriguing buyout candidates may also be up for grabs. Gonna be an interesting offseason like last year thats for sure.

Wow, why?

Allen is stealing this game from Boston

It’s never not going to be funny finding out that almost everyone Jim Benning coveted to one degree or another was a huge asshole after the massive premium he very explicitly placed on character. That was his thing… identifying character guys and intangibles and what not… https://t.co/Mx5DTXLcFY

This should be good for OTT young room

not entirely sure, maybe to see what he can do?
its probably a game or two then he gets sent back down; i expect his elc to slide once or twice tbh

since you know a decent bit about prospects, what do you see barron becoming

Don’t know much about Barron but he looks like he has 2nd pair upside, my prospect strengths are most of the 2021, 2022 draft classes and Habs+CBJ prospects lol

If only the TDL was tomorrow this game would have made Allen a huge target and he probs would have got a Lehkonen like return with maybe a tad lesser prospect (So 2nd + B level)

dare i say if EDM added allen to the kulak trade the trade could've been two seconds

It’s believed part of the delay in processing Dadonov to the Ducks included old business. The NHL didn’t have Dadonov’s original “no trade” list on record. Turns out, Anaheim was on the list, but neither Vegas, Anaheim, nor the NHL knew. The trade was processed based on this.

Yooooooooo

I was thinking Toronto. 2nd + Hirovinen

As the sad thing was Allen's last 2 games weren't great so probs people looked and went mmm nah

If the TDL was tomorrow after this game easily would have got lots of interest.

Tierney sucks, I wouldn’t expect more than a conditional 7th for him double retained so it’s not surprising that he’s gonna stay and walk in the summer. Getting anything for Sanford and J. Brown is a W, I didn’t like them in our lineup and they definitely don’t belong in a contender’s lineup given how they’ve performed this year. Overall I think Ottawa doesn’t really want to trade popular veterans. Paul forced their hand by wanting too much, but I think they see C. Brown as part of the solution, potentially beyond next year (although I personally hope not for too much longer or too much money, but still). He’s a very good player that can take tough matchups, which is important on a young, growing team, and especially one as injury riddled as the Sens (Norris and White have missed significant portions of the year, Batherson and Pinto are still out, etc. so they don’t want to be TOO thin, especially on RW). If they coulda got a 1st+good prospect for C. Brown I think they would have, but that probably wasn’t on the table, not many teams that were willing to trade their 1st had it today. Ennis is a weird one, I probably woulda dealt him but I also think he’s liked here and he hasn’t been quite as good as last go around so there might not have been any takers. Picking up a couple assets for bad players is fine, and I’m totally fine with keeping C. Brown, Holden, Forsberg, etc. to try and make a playoff push next year. And as for the what-ifs, it’s not really anything major. I acknowledged the Hammer trade is an L, it would just be nice if he’s useful, and the L. Brown scenario is fairly plausible.

To see if he's good enough that Habs shouldn't draft nemec?

Jinx

Bruh the Bruins tie it up late. Come on Habs

What is Josh Anderson doing….

Lmao

It is beyond comical at this point... pic.twitter.com/QKX7977Sw4

We have become aware of an issue with respect to the trade. We have been consulting with the league office. We will provide further information once it becomes available. #VegasBorn

Lmao

Booooooooo Marchand. At least Allen played great. Surely this will increase his trade value






Oh wait…
