"JUNE 14: Nashville Predators acquire goaltender Connor Ingram from Tampa Bay Lightning for seventh round draft selection in 2021."
Welp. That sucks.
Welp. That sucks.
it's more likely the details will come out now that he's out of the Lightning organization.I guess we'll never know what happened with him but I wish we did
May have some issues but to only get a 7th rounder for one of the best AHL goalie last year is pathetic. JBB has made a stupid move here.
I am with Hose on the main boards. Should have just got back a lesser goalie prospect.
In 3 years. The pick is 2021.We can take one with the 7th round pick.

You mean like he already has?My guess with Ingram is that he doesn’t have the ambition to play in the NHL. That way it wouldn’t really be an attitude issue and would explain why no one wants him either. Some people just aren’t ready to commit their whole life to hockey.

Brisebois absolutely sucks at trading I would have rather just kept him and press boxed him that’s nothing of a return! A 7th in 2021 ?"JUNE 14: Nashville Predators acquire goaltender Connor Ingram from Tampa Bay Lightning for seventh round draft selection in 2021."
Welp. That sucks.
Now lets say that this was the case. Would it be pathetic to still get only a 7th round pick for a player who doesnt want to commit to NHL life? Id be surprised a team wants to give anything in that case. If this was the case a 7th is great because your basically giving another team the chance to try to make him commit to the NHL. If that is pretty set in stone then wouldnt you be surprised that you got anything in this case? Hypotheticals but thats all we have at this time. Now you may still be right and it was an awful move but until we know what happened, I cant really say how we should react. Calling it pathetic without knowing is premature in my opinion.
Brisebois does not have the patience yzerman did as a gmUnless he was literal cancer, there is really no excuse to not get a better return. We basically got nothing in return for an AHL top goalie who has been trending up since he has been drafted. We got more for Drouin and DeAngelo who both had a very public falling out. Drouin higher profile, DeAngelo not so much.

He still has a year on his contract, we could have waited during the season, or packaged him in with Callahan and some other stuff for a bigger deal.Ok you would rather have gotten nothing. Especially with how well the team has done in picking late and udfa?

I remember when this all came out we tossed around the idea that he boned someone's wife/gf. I am going back to that idea.My point is that what do you do if that is all another team would give you and you clearly want him out too? Something feels different with this and the DeAngelo/Drouin trades. We didnt want him near the AHL team. When that is well known and the only other choice is to send him to the ECHL where his development will not be as good hindering his trade value more or you make him sit. Then hes not even playing. Something just feels off with it and I find it hard to believe we couldnt get more than a 7th rounder for a guy who was one of the best AHL goalies out there.
