frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Told you guys to temper your expectations. Fair or not Vanek seems to have a somewhat negative reputation around the league. A first for him was just unrealistic from the get goLooooove McIllrath so I'm very happy with this.Holland realized to better get something than nothing which was the right decision. McIllrath will make sure the goaltenders aren't getting run over or people parking their asses Infront of themNow on to the summer to unload Green, Tatar/Goose 1 LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BringBack19 110 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 So we get Ericsson 2.0 and a 3rd. Definitely underwhelming but kh did ok with Jurco and smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I guess I'm ok with McIlrath though. I was hoping to be able to draft him when was drafted. For a moment I confused his name with the kid we traded to Florida for Bertuzzi. Edited March 1, 2017 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 So we got a way tougher Ericsson? Cool I guess. Something tells me Kenny is quite done dealing yet.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings3:16 318 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Ahhh I was hoping with the chatter around Sheahan they would trade him for a stick of gum or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which means it becomes a late 2nd basically. I still think Nyquist will be dealt today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see him going anywhere, but IF he does, it'll be in the offseason, certainly not today... 1 e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 So, McIlrath is in the minors...ufa after the season...does he get called up, re-signed, protected? Just now, krsmith17 said: You don't ACTUALLY think this do you? Nyquist isn't being traded today. I don't see him going anywhere, but IF he does, it'll be in the offseason, certainly not today... Someone is going to call in with a sweet offer near the deadline. Too many teams out there still need offensive help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bump 20 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 I held out some hope that the McIlrath acquisition was a prelude to another deal but it appears that is not the case. If McIlrath can somehow become a 2nd pair D, then I view this as a good trade. If, otoh, he's a 3rd pair tough guy, then this wasn't enough for the Vanek asset.

He has no upside, he's cleared waivers before. He's a fringe bottom pairing d-man. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 They're saying that Vrbata may (probably is) be staying in the desert. If that's true, I'm guessing that lowered the asking price for Vanek - when in reality it should have done the opposite. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Players with time left on their deals aren't often moved at the deadline. I wan't expecting Tatar, Nyquist, etc. to be moved. Moving Sheahan would only have been worth it for the right return. As bad as he's been, he's a better player than that. I expect a bounce back if they take out the Trashill. Vanek brought less than expected, but you can only get what other teams are willing to offer and just because the Hawks and Rags were willing to overpay, that doesn't mean everyone was. That said, I think if Holland had been willing to accept less than a first rounder early on, he could have moved Vanek for a second before some of the other forwards were moved. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly, pure speculation though. At the end of the day, while the Vanek return was less than I hoped, that part is largely out of Holland's control. I would've like to see us move Green as well at a minimum but given the players we did move, I'm satisfied with our returns overall.

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 It'll be interesting to see what/if any trade happens with Vrbata. Thought he was going to go before Vanek and would dictate pricing for Vanek. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
