Tommy Grant + cond. 7th ('14) to SJ for Brandon Mashinter

@Steve Zipay

NYR also has made minor league deal, sending Tommy Grant and a seventh conditional in '14 to Sharks for Brandon Mashinter

Here's a small transaction. Honestly I don't know a thing about the prospects of this, but somewhat newsworthy.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

I love this trade. Much more upside than Grant.

 

[Kane One]

Well, okay. What possible condition could there be?

 

[Dalagaze]

Just hand us the Cup already.

 

[Leetch66]

Depth for the farm ? Interesting bio...has size and a bit of scoring in his game .

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Not sure what Mashinter's upside (3 goals in AHL this year) but Tommy Grant has really progressed this year, especially offensively.

 

[CH2]

Well, okay. What possible condition could there be?

Probably if he gets called up to NYR they get the 7th.

 

[nyr2k2]

Hmmm. Is Mashinter an upgrade? Thought Grant was better this year.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

big kid at 6-4 230, somewhat more upside then grant, 35 point scorer three years in the ahl while racking up a good amount penalty minutes im assuming from fighting, not really that big a deal tho probably wont amount to anything.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

Mashinter 6-4, 230; intriguing size if nothing else; never heard of him until now. 104 points in about 230 games in the AHL; 3rd-4th liner I would presume. What's the upside?

 

[darko]

In before people start complaining about parting with a 7th round draft pick.

 

[Kershaw]

Don't really like this trade. Mashinter is a pretty cool name though.

 

[17futurecap]

Wonder if the condition is if one of them is resigned by the team since according to CapGeek, Mashinter is a UFA and Grant an RFA after the year.

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Grant is going to outscore Mashinter this season. Not sure I get this trade from the Whale's point of view but whatever.

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

Though to be fair, Grant is two years older. Mashinter, at 24, already has some NHL experience, could fill in on the fourth line if needed.

 

[Florida Ranger]

Ooooookay.

 

[E-Train]

Someone was talking about Mashinter a few years ago, Dagoon? Lion Hound? Like the deal, good protector for the Whale.

 

[Fitzy]

I legitimately wonder at times if Sather gets bored.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

 

[Thirty One]

Obligatory Cup is Ours post

 

[E-Train]

Reaves made a name for himself last year and Mashinter looked to be too much for him to handle there.

 

[Hire Sather]

I love this trade. Much more upside than Grant.

Why is that? Because you found a video of him throwing punches?

 

[Kershaw]

35-5-20 fight record for Mashinter.

vs. 0-2 listed record for Grant.

In comparision, 'tough guy' Mike Rupp's record is 34-26-27.

Grant didn't really have a future here, so I'm fine with Sather's goon for a 7th.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

He is younger and already been in the NHL. Grant was barely an AHL player before this year.
