Confirmed Trade: [CBJ/ARI] Jon Gillies for 2023 6th round pick and Jakub Voracek

[FlameChampion]

Pathetic franchise. Move them already.

Cup guaranteed

Arizona would likely get a pick, a contract, and credit towards meeting the cap floor for taking on a contract that insurance would cover most of the actual payment on.

Columbus gets cap space in the off-season for when the LTIR cushion isn't applied.

The picks are adding up…

And they had a 1st and three 2nds in ‘21 and a three 1sts and a 2nd in ‘22.

Its hilarious that the NHL wants to crack down on LTIR trades that other teams are making and yet turns a blind eye to the Coyotes.

 

[rt]

I wonder if it’s good or bad for rebuilding teams to have lots of picks and to pick really early in drafts? Is that good or bad?

 

[Turin]

Please fold this team and give its history back to Winnipeg. 32 teams is too many anyway.

You see 21 draft picks, I see 21 players Arizona is trading away in the next 3+ years

They'll likely need to trade up in the draft rather than using all of them. Or grab a ton of overseas "project" prospects There are issues having that many prospects/contracts at once.

And then you can draft, wait a few years and trade those players in only a few more short years!

I thought Arizona was now spending again? Or at least not a LTIR dumping ground anymore.

Let’s definitely give its history back to Winnipeg. It’s been a curse. I’ll take the thrashers history thanks.

 

[BLNY]

It's pretty effing embarrassing.

 

[um]

God I hope they don't get Bedard.

What an embarrassment of a franchise.

 

[The Instigator]

Covers the AHL to call up Tarasov and move Quick?

 

[MMC]

 

[ndkjr70]

Relegate them. They already have the roster and the arena for it. Let them lose in the first round of the mem cup every year.

If they get Bedard, it'll be an insult.

They’ve got an arena to pay for. Big time cash calls this summer. They have to make a $40 payment right after the vote, just to kick off the project. And hundreds of millions from there.

 

[Reality Check]

Add another jersey to the rafters in Arizona

 

[waitin425]

All this ridiculousness points towards two things happening.

Arizona wins the lottery and drafts Bedard.

Auston Matthews comes home in 2024.

Cooley
Guenther
Bedard
Matthews
Keller
Crowse

That is a hella good top 6. I believe this will happen.

 

[Oddbob]

Seriously is this all Arizona is ever going to do? Makes deals to hit the floor.

 

[Bonin21]

Arizona franchise is a joke.

They're not rebuilding, they're non-functional. All they can take are picks.

What is Columbus up to? Clearing cap for Ohio boy Jimothy Timothy?
