(Note: These will be updated constantly between now and the deadline so if you spot any errors, please let me know. I will post updated versions throughout the week)
What if I were to tell you that you could have a chart for every team in the league that shows:
- team depth by position
- contract status of all players beyond this season
- current stats for all players
- playoff experience and production for all players
- Stanley Cups won by player
- five-year playoff results by team
- Round 1 & 2 picks acquired and traded by team (for 08 and 09)
- Five notable prospects by team
- 07 deadline acquisitions by team
So that you can see...
- whose contracts are expiring at the end of the year
- which teams have holes to fill
- which teams have excess assets at certain positions
- which contracts are movable
- which teams don’t have enough offensive depth to thrive in the playoffs
- who signed long-term extensions this year and for how long/how much
- which teams may need to bring in guys with playoff experience
- which teams may need to bring in guys who know what it takes to win a Cup
- who needs a starting or backup goalie, today or in the future
- which prospects and picks could be dangled as bait
- which teams may have learned from last year’s mistakes/success
Would that be something you’d be interested in?
I present to you the Ultimate Trade Deadline Guide (TM).
Over the next couple of days I will be providing analysis on each team using the information below, and identifying this year’s Contenders, Pretenders and Vendors.
(By the way I like to look my depth charts by fours when analyzing teams, instead of looking at line combinations or defensive pairings. I’ll explain at a later date when we look at past Cup winners.)
For now, here are the team-by-team charts to get the discussion going.
The stats shown below their contract status for each player are:
Goalies:
Line 1 – Wins, GAA, SVP – current season
Line 2 – Career playoff games, career playoff wins, # of Cups
Skaters:
Line 1 – Games, Goals, Points – current season
Line 2 – Career playoff games, career playoff points, # of Cups
