When you realize you don't need to waste away in San Jose anymore.

"No more state taxes, and a winning team! But, you have to live in Dallas "

Granlund with a primary assist. Trade won.

Granlund with a primary assist. Trade won.

Granlund is on pace for 73 points, which would be 3 more points than Wyatt Jonhston if both keep their pace. People undervalue MG64 so much it's insane.

Solid debuts for both players tonight.

 

[thadd]

Cody Ceci gets traded to a playoff team...!

 

[The411]

How do you know the details of that??

It was discussed here in a thread, but for the life of me I cannot remember where.

He was probably wondering why he has to dress like a crossing guard.

 

[bossram]

That's your opinion. He is very useful as a 3rd pairing RD who can fill in in a top 4 role if you are in a pinch while adding leadership and experience.

It's sad the disrespect some Internet dorks show this guy.

Is Knoblauch a disrespectful dork? Because every series last year he gave Ceci a chance in the top-four, but had to promptly demote him because he was costing the team?

A bit different no?

Not some anonymous Johnny Couldn't-hack-it with a keyboard shitting on a guy who has proven himself a useful NHLer.

Aside from the fact that I've already stated he is best suited on the 3rd pairing but can fill-in in a pinch. Or why else would you think he gave him a chance in the top 4 EVERY series?

Damn, they must have cool crossing guards wherever you live!

The ones here just have to wear those frumpy orange high-visibility vests.

Seems like Stars and Sharks fans are both good with this trade and all the other teams fans are bent out of shape about it

They had a pretty decent uniform budget

He rejuvenated his career in San Jose. He arrived as a cap dump who seemed destined for Liiga or retirement at the end of his contract and left as a player worth a 1st round pick who will probably get another 8-figure deal once this one ends.

Great trade for both teams. SJ gets a great return on a forward that wasn't ever going to be there long term. And Dallas gets a great scoring forward for a Cup run.

Don't know enough about Ceci anymore to know what he's bringing. But depth on defense is never a bad thing.

 

[Codez]

In Nill we Trust!!!

Gonna be another competitive playoff team!

Ceci is better than anything they're playing on the third pairing and if he isn't then he's gone after the season anyways.

You know it's a great trade when the only people complaining about it are the fanbases of the teams not involved.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Getting two picks for players who were both cap casualties over the last couple of offseasons feels like a respectable return.

Grier is doing a very good job of building his draft capital, that's for sure.

 

[hohosaregood]

Granlund can't really kill plays defensively but he'll be a great sheltered scorer. His line used to get hemmed in a lot and he had trouble defending in the slot. Only issue offensively is he held the puck too long in SJ, probably waiting for a teammates to get open. So it'll probably work out for him in Dallas with a much better team composition.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

This is great work by San Jose

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I feel like DAL trading picks is dumb considering how well they draft and develop.

For sure. Nill should have just asked Grier if we could have them for free.
