Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it's not happening. Sorry you wasted a bowl of popcorn.

You would think he'd be after helm and Abby as well.

PLEASE TAKE ABBY, PLEASE.  In my opinion that's the worst contract we have and the fact he wears the A is crazy, give it to Larkin already and get him ready

Haven’t heard that.. do you have a link to an Yzerman quote saying he won’t trade Foote? 

I can look around, but they said it this morning on this broadcast.

Yeah, I imagine the sens are using the deadline as a way to get talks started for a summer trade. Which seems like a bad idea; they’d get more for him for two playoff runs at his current cap hit, I’d think. I could really see them managing to mess up his trade sometime around the draft. 

Karlsson should never have been considered for trade in the first place. I guarantee Melnyk will f*** this up.

What I don't get is Yzerman has said he isn't trading anyone from the roster or Foote, so how else would be acquire Karlsson? He may as well give us that 1st for Green and get him down there. 

Ok.

I haven't heard anything about Foote, but I heard somehwere that if Yzerman goes for Karlsson, Namestnikov is likely in the mix much to Stevies dismay

Agreed. He should just sell the team. 

[kickazz 5,459]

This is all of us right now watching the trade deadline

[LeftWinger 4,959]

I can't find a link, but I've been watching since 8am, it was said by one of the group's in a duscussion.

Gotcha. No worries.. hopefully it’s speculation and they’re wrong  but I wouldn’t blame them for not trading him. 

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Goys, what should I make for lunch?

Linguine with alfredo sauce, or linguine with a sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce?

I also have a tri-color rotini

The pasta-bilities are endless

John Shannon is the guy who said it this morning.

Send our 1st for Yzerman...it’s the best move we could hope to make

[AtlantaHotWings 987]

Maybe they were referencing this ?

From the article http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/lightning/2018/02/22/lightning-not-planning-to-trade-from-current-roster/ 

The Lightning has all of its draft picks for the next three seasons and a deep prospect pool including defenseman Cal Foote and forwards Taylor Raddsyh and Brett Howden. But Yzerman isn't going to give up the farm – for Karlsson or anyone else – noting there's no guarantee a Stanley Cup would be the reward.

It's not deadline day until I've gotten at least 1 kill yo self remark. Thanks n god bless.

[LeftWinger 4,959]

 

 

Here are fans also talking about it. Seems Yzerman doesn't want to move Foote.

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Heck, I deserve to be spoiled a little. Sun-dried tomato alfredo it is.

[kylee 727]

I like Tatar and Gus but there needs be consequences for such poor team play.

Unfortunately I think the term is too much to consider for most teams on both these players.

Tatar and Gus are more likely to move at the draft or in the summer, when teams have a clearer picture of where they are going for the next year.

Zero f***s.

[amato 3,210]

Thanks, lefty. 

Was hoping we had a shot at him but definitely understandable that they don’t want to trade him away.

Same stuff we hear every TDL. Then come summer we hear they are best moved at the TDL. FWIW,  Calgary and Winnipeg had said the want players with term, not rentals.

Ok kenny, down to 1.5 hours. If you got something, give it to us.

The Stastny trade for a 1st (conditional) and a prospect (eric foley) bodes well for Green's return, i think.

This is the 2nd time we've been sellers at the deadline in 20+ years. So when you say "every TDL" you mean last year right?

Anyway if Calgary and Winnipeg wanna make an offer sweet, I just think it's smarter to add term commitments in the summer when the waters are clear. But to each GM, their own.

Prices seem to be up again this year. Papa like.

Anyone care to explain why Blues moved Statsny (are they out of the playoffs?) and why Hawks moved Hartman?

I think moving McDonagh, Karlsson, and Pacioretty, is dumb in respect to each of their teams.
