Trade deadline 2024: March 8

The more I think about it, the more it ticks me off. BMac basically owes his job to McPhee and already paid him back by giving him Chandler Stephenson - now he gives him Mantha for a less than great return - and he did it early in the trade week. We will see how this looks after other trades are done. If anything, he should have had the 2nd round pick be in 2025 or 2026.

Yea I saw on thread from NHL on the trade. Consensus is we got hosed. But we rarely get the better end of anything. I think the Oshie trade was about the only thing that panned out and we still fucked it up in the end. lol

I looked back to the trade for Mantha with Detroit. We gave up Vrana (who turned out to be a bust for Detroit), Richard Panik and a 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder. The first round pick ended up with St. Louis who has been a stud. Mantha of course was one of the most frustrating guys to watch play - a ton of talent with no desire or effort - then he gets in a contract year and suddenly plays well.

Meh - not the best trade but we'd have given him away this summer for a bag of pucks if someone would've taken him. Plus, Ottawa just traded Tarasenko to Florida for a 3rd and 4th and retained 1/2 the salary, like the Caps did with AM. Maybe "the market" isn't as great as we expect, at least not this early in the trade season. Maybe the returns will bet better as the trade deadline gets closer.
