Confirmed Trade: [ARI/MIN] Jack McBain for 2022 2nd round pick

[TeddyBare]

Craig Morgan was saying he didnt hear he wanted an entry level in Canada

 

[Jumptheshark]

This is the clause any deal with the kid. Good move for both sides if it gets done

 

[TeddyBare]

Big Haul for minny in the circumstances
haven't heard of that for negotiating rights

 

[NiagaraKraken]

Why wouldn’t he sign in Minny? They need centers

 

[Marshall]

Look out, desert.

Word is he didn’t see a path to stick on the roster having to beat out the likes of JEE, Hartman, Gaudreau, and Rossi. Which if true, yikes. If he just wanted to more control over his destination, understandable, but would be wise to get that version out there.

Will be interesting to see what happens as the Wild have a good chance at signing Meyers who will be given a similar shot at the same role.

 

[Nylanderthal]

So he’ll get to keep playing in a college arena at the NHL level

Kudos for getting this golden nugget in as the first comment.

MCBAAAAIN!!!!

 

[mrpither]

That’s the joke.

Nice to see a guy who wanted to go to Arizona. I get that it's mostly because he'll get a lot of playing time, but still.

Minnesota should use that 2nd to get Fleury now.

Low expectations. If I was a player I would want to goto Arizona and collect my check instead of having to meet Minnesotas demands of being an amazing player. Kid can fly southwest to California and Vegas in an hour or less, and party. He also gets the sunshine, not the bitter cold in Minnesota

 

[BrannigansLaw]

So he didn’t want to play on a playoff team but wants to sign with Arizona? Wtf okkkkk

He didn't want to play on a playoff team's AHL team.

Gotta understand what 18 and 19, 20, 21 year old kids want. He has other priorities than just hockey. You goto Arizona nothing is demanded from you compared to Minnesota

 

[bleuetbio]

damn I would take him. Good trade for Zona

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I'm going to visit Arizona's board more often for the incoming avalanche of Simpson's memes.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Rumor is he also wanted a verbal guarantee he’d get playing time with the big team

 

[Daz28]

Wants to play with Matthews

 

[uncleben]

Dang. Nice pick up for ARI
Trading from a place of strength
Kid has potential

Nice return for MIN, especially for a player who made it clear he wasn't signing, giving no trade leverage

 

[Petes2424]

When you own 36 picks, even if he flames out, it’s worth the shot for the Coyotes.

 

[bruins4thecup65]

Overpayment

Arizona would still have to sign McBain...

 

[Minnewildsota]

Arizona would still have to sign McBain...

The trade is dependent on an ELC being signed with said team

 

[LMFAO]

Any reasons why McBain didn’t wanna play in Minny ?

 

[Stephen]

Yeah, like I said. Arizona would still have to sign him...

 

[Minnewildsota]

Yeah, like I said. Arizona would still have to sign him...

Yup. That’s what you meant…
