GDT: The Midnight Madness thread of Christmas and 4th of July(Trades and Signings)

[Exit Dose]

Let's do this.

[Jesus Teemu]

I think Roberto will get traded very shortly.

[Exit Dose]

We can only hope.

[AngelDuck]

This is exciting!

[DuckTech]

I was thinking with the short season I may make some new Avatars of the players heads on short bodies - Thoughts?

[Exit Dose]

Like a bobblehead?

[Exit Dose]

Listening to Sportsnet, "Getzlaf, Getzlaf, Getzlaf!"

[DuckTech]

I was just thinking of finding bust shots and shrinking the body or enlarging the heads, my photoshot skills aren't top but it could be funny.

[jax00]

I fully expect there to be absolutely no significant news concerning the Ducks.

[Ducks DVM]

So, midnight is really 9PM, right?

Yep.

[ShadowDuck]

Wait what happens at midnight? Trades are allowed?

[mighty all the way]

I expect Getzlaf being signed in the morning and Rod Pelly to be signed tonight for the Ducks. Perry I think will sign in the offseason and test the market a little. I really hope Jason Blake gets a contract, maybe with Florida? Idk, that would just give me more reason to cheer for them, him and Parros.

[Exit Dose]

I don't think we're going to linger on Perry if he's looking to test free agency.

[Eddie Shack]

Bob needs to get Getzlaf signed immediately, otherwise he is going to end up with cauliflower ear. Midnight would be perfect. Besides didn't he and/or Getz say they had things pretty much worked out before the lockout? They just had to wait for the new CBA to tie the knot?

Not specifically, but they did dance around the subject like that was the case.

[Gliff]

On sportsnet they said it starts at 9:30

[DuckTech]

Okay the short players looks horrible...any other ideas while we wait?

Most of GMs - not all but most - I've spoken to tonight don't anticipate making any moves tonight. Trades and signings legal at midnite ET.

That's a major buzzkill for me

I expect there will be a lot more going on in the morning than at midnight. There are still quite a few FAs out there though.

Trades and signings are now legally permitted in the NHL.

[Exit Dose]

So...

[Eddie Shack]

Still no word on the Ducks site about camp opening tomorrow.
