Confirmed with Link: Brendon Nash traded for Jason DeSantis (NHL rights have now been traded)

[BJCOLLINS]

the Dog's have too many young D & not enuf spots for regular ice time......they want Nash to play regular mins and that IMHO is the reason behind this move. DeSantis can be and has been sat, it looks like a smart move.

But DeSantis did play for Dogs few weeks ago, no ???

 

[Metropolitsky]

First trade by Bergevin, he'll always remember it

I merged the thread from the earlier AHL trade with the new NHL trade.

Man, I was probably Nash's biggest fan even though I don't make much noise here. I think he's a solid defenseman with NHL potential. DeSantis looks fine though and already has a couple points, should help the abysmal PP so its nothing to gripe about I guess. I'll be curious to see how Nash develops in another place, I think he'll at least be a journeyman NHLer, 7th D type for someone but I could be way off. He was definitely on the verge of being completely irrelevant in a way though since we have so many good/interesting young D coming up.

How does this compare with the trade a week ago? Did last week's trade trade their AHL rights and this trade trade their NHL rights? Head scratcher

The real trade couldn't be completed because the CBA wasn't done. More than a few people figured that once everything was in place, the real trade would go down.

Now, there are really NO EXCUSES.

 

[beowulf]

Not sure if I get this one at all but I guess I'm not the only one.

If only you could have two avatars I'd use this.

 

[Natey]

Wow.. absolutely terrible deal. Puke.

 

[Et le But]

Wow.. absolutely terrible deal. Puke.

To be fair Nash has almost no NHL upside.

 

[Natey]

To be fair Nash has almost no NHL upside.

To be fair, DeSantis has even less NHL upside.

 

[HuGort]

Not a deal I like but I heard Nash wasn't the same since coming back from his injury

 

[overlords]

To be fair, at least DeSantis might actually help the dogs win a few games. Not losing every game has it's developmental advantages.
