Confirmed Trade: [CHI/WSH] Michal Kempny for 2018 3rd round pick

[trick9]

Love this trade.

Even though they propably overpaid, this spells the end for Orpik-Bowey pairing. Them together were just cringe-worthy beyond any means. Madison Bowey has the tools to actually become a solid player one day but his toolbox is beyond questionable and Brooks Orpik is the last guy you want to mentor him on that.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Why did Coach Q, not like him?

Because Q forms an instant opinion and it never changes. He falls in love with plugs and hates random serviceable guys.

 

[ovikovy817]

I see he is +13 on a very bad Chicago team. Even if I don't care about +/- generally

What kind of player he is?

 

[Bananas]

We need a few more inept pinchers so the Pens can get their full allotment of odd man breaks in Round 2.

 

[Hivemind]

a guy who gets overrated by the corgis and his skating ability.

Not surprising. Corgis are notorious for their love of chasing balls, herding sheep, belly rubs, and mobile Czech defenders.

haha this guy gets it

 

[One Winged Angel]

This bodes well for the Rangers and McDonagh, I like it.

 

[Teemu]

Well that's definitely at least two rounds higher than expected

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I want to wish good luck to defenseguy Michal Kempny.

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

washington has two 3rd rounders. toronto's and washingtons

if washington wins the cup then the 31st pick (aka washingtons original pick) goes to chicago

if leafs win the cup then the 31st pick (aka torontos pick owned by caps) goes to chicago

I think you mean the 93rd pick. Its between 3rd round picks not 1sts.

 

[domiwroze]

A 3rd? Really?

We should sell Schlemko/Benn/Jerabek/Morrow for 3rd-4th pick as fast as possible then.

 

[HabsTown]

I think that is a very good trade for WSH.

They won't regret giving a 3rd for him.

 

[Roshi]

Just fine with it. Our scouting staff obviously like the guy. Whats late third round pick good for anyways. Not much. Maybe worth a Kempny.

This also means Caps cant trade their other third!!

 

[Zirakzigil]

Decent depth move.

As if the Caps will even see round two.

 

[Rolo]

Looking at his stats, most fans will scratch their heads, but watching him over the years, and his advanced stats indicate he can be a solid #4-5 d-man and he skates very well. Too bad Q never utilized him properly. Erik Gustafsson, Jordan Oesterle, Cody Franson have played in the line-up over this guy.

Often he'd have a good game, pick up an assist, be a +2, and get scratched the next game. Made no sense at all. He was also one of the few defenders who was able to play with Brent Seabrook (who is aboslutely terrible).

 

[JaegerDice]

Don't think we should have traded him, but the return is fine.

Will be funny if WSH goes all the way to a cup this season. Between Kempny and Daley, teams would be calling Stan non-stop to ask 'so.... you have any mobile puck-movers that Q hates?'

It would be even funnier if Caps lose in Round 1, re-sign Kempny, fire Trotz, Hawks fire Quenneville and Caps hire Quenneville. Michal, I'm afraid I have some terrible news for you...

It's funny because it totally could happen.

 

[Canuck86]

Another odd move by Washington. Couple years ago they gave up a 3rd for a plug D from Buffalo that they didnt use, cant remember his name.

Kempny couldnt even play on a crummy chicago team, very surprised he got a 3rd round pick for a 27 yr old.

Gives me hope that Hutton would be able to get the same type of pick if we chose to trade him

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

its funny how all these advanced stats superstars are always expendable

Caps should add Cody Franson as well. That's an amazing top pairing right there (said stats nerds who believe advanced stats trump all).

 

[Kevin Musto]

Should mean Wingels and Franson can net at least a 3rd
Then maybe a 4th for Bouma?


And then Anisimov probably moves at the draft since his NMC becomes a NTC. Maybe he can net a late 1st round pick? Ryan Reeves was apparently worth that.

Whats the caps defensive pairings looking like now?

[Korpse]

There was a time when Twitter Chicago fans believed that Ottawa was interested in Kempny and that he was a part of a return for Karlsson. Wild.

 

[ottawa]

Reminds me of what people said about

Pirri
Hayes (Jimmy)
Olsen
Morin
Clendening

How did it turn out for them? Q was such a fool who held back those wonderful talents

They said that about Danault too, he turned our wonderfully
