Trades and Potential Trades

Lucic has 4 years left at $6M aav with a full NMC.

 

Interesting...

 

Sabres have been dying to get him since 2016, one year left at $2.75M then turns UFA.

 

and the Rangers thought he was going to be the knight in shining armor to save the day... now he's bait.

 

Wow. Now I feel bad about riding his ass ALL game long the last time the Rags played in Denver. Who is supposed to be going to NYC?

Oh. Only kidding about feeling bad.

 

Uhhh, he was Tim Murray's wet dream. That's about it.

 

I think if they dump salary and end up getting a 20 goal scorer for under $3M with a chance to re-sign him for cheap, not bad.

 

Pens trade Maatta to the hawks for kahun and a 5th.

 

Consensus, hawks fans pissed, pens fans happy.

 

Maatta can't skate to save his life and isn't a shot blocker. And he comes with a 4 million dollar price tag. Oh....and he's hurt a lot and was a healthy scratch in the playoffs.

I don't get this trade at all.

 

Yeah, Pens were all too happy to unload him.

 

And they got a decent young forward in return. Kahun won't be a star but he isn't awful by any means.

 

NYR land Trouba. Winnipeg gets the 20th back and Neal Pionk.
Jets get their own 1st back (traded for Hayes at deadline) and Pionk, Rags get a #1 D. He's gonna get paid.
Rags rent Hayes and swap Pionk for Trouba.

 

What a fucking steal for New York. I know Winnipeg didn't have much leverage, but considering the teams interested, you'd have thought they'd get something more. Wow. F*** the Rangers - I desperately wanted Trouba to be a Panther. He was top of my wishlist. Real bummer that he goes for so little in trade.

 

WPG would not allow Trouba to talk contract with any team. That, in the end, reduced his value. The Rangers obviously feel confident that they'll ink him. Otherwise, he's another rental.

 

Flyers get Justin Braun from the sharks for a 2nd and 3rd pick, he has one more year left at $3.8M.

 

And he has a hot wife that can cook.

 

No way the Sharks should've had that leverage, a 4th rounder would've been good enough.

 

Seems like a ton for Justin Braun. Add a Pionk and it’s not far from what landed Trouba.
