On the one hand, waiting until the deadline might be a way to maximize the return by using as much time as possible for teams to outbid each other and become desperate as other trade bait is taken off the market.
On the other, it can backfire in that teams will end up lowballing us for the guys whom we’re desperate to trade (UFAs like McMann and Laughton) as we approach the 3pm deadline and most other buyers have made their deals already.
I don’t know if the « economics » of this approach works in our favour or not.

Might have to settle with no other trades…shit. It’s cutting it too close to the deadline?

Sounds like someone is willing to pay two 2nds for Bobby McMann, and the Leafs are holding out for a 1st.
Laughton was really only mentioned to the Avs – now that they have Roy instead, I do wonder where Laughton ends up. You have to get something for him.
OEL really needs to be traded – his value will never be higher than it is now.

I liked the Roy return but we gotta make at least two more substantial deals Friday or I’ll be annoyed. At least two of OEL, Laughton and McMann with decent returns.

When teams like WSH and FLA commit to selling and you lose to the rangers … you need to commit. Even if you say it’s a retool sell like it’s a rebuild

If there aren’t 3 more trades today I expect there to be none. This ownership group is (regarded)

Join therapy session when they do absolutely nothing today?

If Roy has been traded, gotta expect McMann and Laughton follow suit. OEL would be selling at his peak, but idk if management is delusional in thinking he would be needed next season for a cup push

You’re not happy with the two picks that are a year apart?
Gave away one of core 3 for them. Only Joshua and Macelli are left.

I’m hoping for atleast 3-4 trades today if not more, sell sell sell!
Ahhh the annual use of this meme. Love it.
Some late night trade shenanigans out there.
Really wondering who’s left that wants a guy like OEL for a good price.
All I can say for sure is I’m not getting any work done tomorrow.
If they don’t get these UFAs traded, Brad and the entire management group should commit seppuku (spelling?). Yikes.
