TRADE DEADLINE BONANZA 2020!

Haha. Ennis for a 5th in 2021

Nice deadline day haul

30 million for Pageau is a lot. Probably fair, but a lot.

Did you mean to say "Not sure why they would do that"?

Rags, Canes, Avs, Wings. Love them all. Dying for Melnyk to sell however.

Shestyorkin has broken ribs from a car accident. Georgiev not likely to be moved

And then what happened?

Canes dominate the deadline.

I just thought he'd wait until July 1. I'm surprised since he had no attachment to the Islanders.

I think you underestimate how refreshing it would be to get out from under Melnyk.

I think Lou made him an offer he literally could not refuse. 30 million? Ok!

Oof, did Carolina pay a 1st for Skjei?

I think they did. That was a guy that is *below* replacement value if you look at Corsi at all. Below.

This was the one guy that if you knew anything about hockey, you'd NOT have paid a 1st. And I'm not really into the Corsi thing, but the replacement value of players is becoming super relevant.

I like Vatanen though.

I don’t know that Pageau would have gotten that on the open market but who knows what his production looks like on the island. Sometimes it’s sign when you’re high.
Plus I’m sure him and his GF love the idea of living in NYC

I don't think he could have gotten any more money than that and it's now, as you say, he doesn't have to sweat UFA time. Can't really refuse that if you're Pageau.

Going to be a dog fight in that metropolitan division. No guarantees the isles even make the playoffs with how the Canes loaded up. Big pushes from the Rags and a win tonight for the jackets and things will really start heating up. Should be a fun 20 games to watch

Also not sure I understand anything that Toronto did today. They actually traded 2 dmen out and brought a LHD back in?
