Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

[Philadelphia Collins]

Thankful Pierre didn’t try get Brady’s bro, that’s a haul

Kyle Davidson should be ashamed of himself for the DeBrincat trade lol

 

[Alfie11]

JESUS CHRIST THAT'S A HUGE TRADE


M Tkachuk (signed 8yrs $76M)

for

Huberdeau
Weegar
1st
Cole Schwindt

Am I alone in thinking the Panthers just did major damage to their franchise?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

What a horrible trade for Florida.

Our division actually got a bit easier haha

Although we were after Weegar...

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

We need to target a Calgary D now in a trade. Whether its Weegar, Tanev or Andersson.

 

[TheDebater]

That Bjorkstrand trade is wild, he’s a top 6 forward and Seattle got him for a 3rd and a 4th next year

Remember when we traded a 3rd for Travis Hamonic lol

Completely different market so far this year.

And in my opinion Hamonic will live up to and exceed the value of that 3rd round pick. He will help stabilize our pairings.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I thought Bill Zito was establishing himself as one of the best GMs in the league up until this year.

Then he trades Tippett, Heinenman and two 1sts for two rentals in Giroux and Chariot, who he fails to re-sign, he replaces Brunette with Maurice, and now he just made his team way worse now and in the future.

Panthers don't look like elite contenders anymore, their pool is barren and they now don't have a 1st round pick until 2026.

 

[Senscore]

What a horrible trade for Florida.

Our division actually got a bit easier haha

Although we were after Weegar...

Huberdeau and Weegar have one year left on their deals.

Florida got security and they definitely paid for it.

for

Huberdeau

That is ridiculous. Is Matt Tkachuk really worth that much more than Huberdeau alone???

 

[Gil Gunderson]

That is ridiculous. Is Matt Tkachuk really worth that much more than Huberdeau alone???

Huberdeau isn't signed longer than a year.

 

[Zorf]

Am I alone in thinking the Panthers just did major damage to their franchise?

My ONLY guess is contract talks with Huberdeau and Weegar were going nowhere, so they traded 1 year of each guy for 8 years of Tkachuk.

I'm STUNNED they included a 1st round pick though.



Huberdeau didn't have a great playoffs, so this could be Florida way overreacting to that and trying to get tougher.


But still. This is madness. They traded away another 1st! They don't pick in the 1st round for like 3 straight years. I get that they are going for it, but I feel like they are doing it wrong

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Huberdeau and Weegar have one year left on their deals.

Florida got security and they definitely paid for it.

I get the cap implications but Florida got much worse for next season.

It is a horrible trade for them. M. Tkachuk is a big time playoff underachiever but he does help you get to the playoffs so he's still a useful player.

 

[Zorf]

In theory, this trade looks awful now for Florida and genius for Calgary, but if Calgary cant' get either guy signed and they walk to UFA next summer, it will be an enormous fail

 

[Ice-Tray]

I am dumbfounded at how bad that trade is….

That is the most valuable on paper trade I think we’ve seen in a very long time.

 

[Masked]

Am I alone in thinking the Panthers just did major damage to their franchise?

They just replaced a 29 year old core piece with a 24 year old core piece. They would have either had to commit long term to Huberdeau or try to replace him in free agency.

This sets them up better long term. I'm more interested in how they're replacing Weegar.

Assen na yo!

 

[Six Assets]

seems like money is #1 priority for the Tkachuks

 

[Senovision]

Wow! Huge trade. Nice haul for Calgary,

 

[Zorf]

No joke!

Panthers were $3M over the cap before the trade.

They traded out $9.15m in cap, and signed Tkachuk to a $9.5M deal...and they are down a dman who they need to replace

 

[Do Make Say Think]

In theory, this trade looks awful now for Florida and genius for Calgary, but if Calgary cant' get either guy signed and they walk to UFA next summer, it will be an enormous fail

They can probably trade both of them for a good haul at the next trade deadline if they can't keep them.

I am still shocked at how awful this trade is for Florida and how potentially amazing it is for Calgary.

 

[Ice-Tray]

In theory, this trade looks awful now for Florida and genius for Calgary, but if Calgary cant' get either guy signed and they walk to UFA next summer, it will be an enormous fail

But now they get a do over and can trade both players for a couple 1st round picks in a very deep draft.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Also this makes the Mark Stone trade look especially bad hahaha

 

[Zorf]

Ok ok ok...

Calgary now needs to find a shit ton of money for Huberdeau and Weegar. They need to lock them up ASAP to save face around the league after having guys want to jump ship.


I wonder if Tanev or Andersson are now available?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Weegar to Ottawa now?

That Bjorkstrand trade is wild, he’s a top 6 forward and Seattle got him for a 3rd and a 4th next year

Remember when we traded a 3rd for Travis Hamonic lol

That's just a terrifically bad trade. So f***ing desperate a trade to shed money to sign Laine. Barf.

 

[Icelevel]

Also this makes the Mark Stone trade look especially bad hahaha

Seriously eh. Like talk about reminding us how incompetent our gm has been.

 

[Zorf]

Someone send Trent Mann and Ryan Bowness to gently wake up Pierre and get him on the phone with Calgary.

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

In theory, this trade looks awful now for Florida and genius for Calgary, but if Calgary cant' get either guy signed and they walk to UFA next summer, it will be an enormous fail

They can still try to compete and if it fails, sell both plus others at the deadline and truly kick off the rebuild leading up to what looks like a great draft. Great trade for Calgary.
