<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>canes2020</b></div><div>I don't get why people, especially canes fans, feel so strongly about ANA winning this. Fleury has had his ice time trending way down since the bubble (averaged 17+ min in his 20 games leading up to their exit from the bubble, only 12 min in his last 20 games), hasn't really been an impact on the ice this year, gets flipped for a guy who by analytics numbers is good defensively (admittedly not all that familiar with the guy) and physical which will be needed for a deep playoff run. Plus they get a throw at the dartboard on top of that. Think this is a good trade for both teams TBH.

Only way you can really fault Carolina at this deadline is if they know TT isn't coming back and they didn't make a move for top 6 forward talent.</div></div>

oh i absolutely hate not getting a forward, but still this trade is fine for both sides

Thread: Realistic Trade Deadline Moves for Sharks Including a Meier to NYI Blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles10</b></div><div>He has a good caphit until his QO kicks in at 10 mil. You have absolutely no idea how good Wahlstrom AND Dobson already is and will be. + a 1st and Beauvillier who killed it last playoffs. Yes Meier is a really good player, but come on. I was being sarcastic when I proposed those players for Meier. Of course Sharks would and should ask much for him, but this is not even close to realistic.</div></div>

When I said "something like that", I wasn't really pointing to anything specific.

But, Meier is a vital piece as part of their core group of players.

They already cut themselves down to the bone when they brought in EK65 and signed him into that massive contract at the expense of key players that walked out on the Sharks back in 2018/2019.

The Sharks have no interest in trading Meier unless it's massive overpay.

If I'm Doug Wilson and I need to trade Timo, I'm getting back what Colorado got in 2017 for Matt Duchene or what Ottawa got for EK65.

Nothing less than that. Sorry. :)

Thread: A Smart Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabresfuturecupwinners</b></div><div>You are the perfect representation of annoying Canes fans. Thinking you don't need Hall is hysterical and narrow minded. Yes you're a very good team... Adding a top line goal scoring LW who would be great for your style of hockey for your best shot at a cup this year is probably not a bad idea...</div></div>

You are a typical buffalo fan. Thinking about only production and not understanding the wider picture. Carolina's top 6 is perfect right now Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen, Niederreiter - Trocheck - Necas are two lines that can kill teams. Hall is not a 3rd liner. Carolina do not need Hall. Someone that might be more of-interest would be Eric Staal who can play on the wing of Jordan. Hall doesn't fit the mould.
