Trade deadline

Per WRAL:

Aaron Ward's deal is done and he's a healthy scratch for tonight's game in TO. Their probably waiting to announce the deal till tomorrow so Ottawa (my guess) can save a little $ on his per day salary. Now the question is....what's coming back the other way.

They TRADED Aaron Ward? JR is a master. There is nothing else I can even begin to say...

Hawk.. do you think they'll trade one of their goaltenders? I heard Price was Gainey's boy.. so maybe with Halak showing the world he can play, does Price get moved? Or do they capitalize on Halak's value?

Yeah Aaron ward has been a bust this season. There are talks now of Whitney not going anywhere. Going to be an interesting 24 hrs.

Yea, It's part him forcing where he goes because of the NTA and him wanting an extension....plus what the canes are asking for. A 1st plus a prospect.

dont like the 3rd for Andrew Alberts, would have preferred to keep him for that hes a bottom pairing big physicaly guy we need.

Robbed Washington for Pothier, Osala, and their 2nd rounder in 2011.

Walker for a 7th round pick isnt much but he hasn't played hardly at all in 2 years, just a salary dump ultimately.

Aaron Ward gone thank God.

Currently have

Gleason-Pitkanen

Picard-Carson

Pothier? / Nobody on D

looks like the team expects, McBain, Rodney, or Harrison to be able to step up and play.

Good trades...JR did some damn fine work with the Corvo trade. Canes now have a ton of 2nd rounds and has some flexibility with what they can do in the draft. I like getting Osala in that trade, he could be a nice pickup.

As for Whitney not being moved, it's what I thought. He didn't want to go anywhere and the only deal that Whitney even new about was the one from a month ago..Which he shot down with the contract extension.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
