Confirmed with Link: Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway to Chicago for 4th Overall, 45th Overall, Louis Crevier

[Gabrielor]

I'm so unbelievably happy.

Keep 4, pick Bjorck.

 

[Fezzy126]

Not doom posting, but still anxious that this doesn't lead to more Sabres-ing of things with 4OA or the now free cap space.

It's already starting

 

[oldgoalie]

It's already starting

No.
20OA and UPL.

 

[allsilverdreams]

You had me at 4OA

 

[Eegs]

I don't have to read any of this thread to know you guys are absolutely losing your minds with glee! Bravo!

Bleh. Queasy just thinking about it.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Lost in all of this: no retention on Greenway.

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

20 and UPL and I’m sold.

Not giving up 4 overall for a 33 year old goalie making that much for that long. And I love Helle.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

They better not give up 4OA for a goalie ... no matter how good that goalie can be.

 

[Prospector74]

Wow....just...wow!!! Finally caught up in this thread. The last week has been a feeling of deepening malaise and that just shifted instantly to, "we're good, let's get the party started boys!" Really impressed with this trade.

 

[Jetskiis]

IN JARMO WE TRUST. aint no way hes throwing away #4 for helle

 

[Snippit]

It's already starting

Me. I say no.

NO to Helle.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I wonder if STL comes calling about that 4OA for some of their 1sts.

 

[Samsonite23]

This trade is franchise changing.

Get this outta this glorious thread immediately

 

[MOGlLNY]

I'm so unbelievably happy.

Keep 4, pick Bjorck.

Stenberg if he’s there, Bjorck if he’s not

 

[Jacob582]

Chainshot. We (and others) were right about Greenway ending up in Chicago.

Top five picks are so rarely moved for players that it happening today was an anomaly. Could we move it again? Sure. But for a 33 year old goalie coming off a terrible season with a long history of playoff failures? Better f***ing not.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Admittedly, I was totally unprepared for this trade. My focus was on Tuch staying or going..... Great deflection Jarmo..... You are a clever SoB, aren't you?? lol

 

[Chainshot]

Chainshot. We were right about Greenway ending up in Chicago.

Sometimes logical fits actually work out. He is a cost controlled replacement for Mikheyev and only around for a year. The reports of him being good in the room might also be a good fit for the Hawks too since they have so many kids trying to figure it out.

This was the best part for me. I'm disappointed to see a talent like Byram leave, but the return is immense. I want to see them flip it for a ready made NHL player. It seems like Alex Tuch is still set on potentially leaving, based on Pagnotta's reports. Which would again be disappointing. Go get someone like Thomas, Knies or a go getter.

 

[yasky]

And Skinners hit takes a 4 million drop in a year.

 

[Sometimes the Goalie]

No.
20OA and UPL.

Word. 4OA and UPL would be a major over-pay. If 20OA and UPL doesn't do it, move along.

Which is why I'm practicing my face plant hand mechanics ahead of draft day--as I can Just see Jarmo doing it. Please, please, please don't...

For a second I thought that was 200th overall. I was eh, I don’t think that does it.

Absolutely zero way I'm trading 4 OA for a winger. Stick there and take the center (likely Bjorck) or trade it for a legit 1C. Do not, in any way shape or form, use 4 OA for a winger or a goalie.
