So long Johnny Hockey, good luck in Utah. Looks like Pesce or someone else is coming in now.

Silayev hype was fun. Back to being pissed the f*** off

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Nooo Marinoo noo...

 

[Lou Bloom]

Considering what Walman went for this is fair value. I liked Marino but if this means they're getting Brett Pesce, I think that's an improvement and better team fit.

 

[My3Sons]

This was inevitable. Best of luck to John. He is underrated by many.

 

[Hisch13r]

It’s basically Marino for one 2nd not 2 because we’re going to have to use a 2nd to dump Pesce in a few years anyway.

 

[Forge]

Would have preferred a hockey trade, but the value is fine

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

the return is extremely un-fun but Marino tanked his value by playing like ass for a lottery team

 

[The Grinder]

Good bye Marino, we hardly knew ye.

Fitz clearly has a plan in place, and I can dig making the upgrade to Pesce if the opportunity is there. Instantly makes us harder to play against on D.

LOL the ink isn’t even dry on the deal and we’re already planning the buyout

Imagine crying about a trade because of an imaginary scenario about a player you made up that is like 3/4 years away at the soonest

 

[JK3]

What the hell is this crap.

 

[Hisch13r]

So idk maybe don’t trade the guy when his value tanked

 

[RSeen]

Don't like trading Marino and signing Pesce for presumably a 6 or so year deal...but we knew this was happening.

This is good value for Utah IMO.

I remember hearing the same shit when I bitched about the Palat deal. It’s so very smart to sign a guy who’ll be 30 long term at a sizable number who might already be you’re 3RD and if not already will certainly be by the following year. Just brilliant work.

 

[MadDevil]

So are we signing Slavin next summer to continue the reconstruction of the Carolina Hurricanes blueline?

 

[Devils Trap]

Nice work by Fitz. Got us 2 picks for a guy we are upgrading upon anyway. Even after a "down" year by some we got back for him WAY more then we traded for him.

Turned Ty Smith and a 3rd in + 2nds in the end, good asset management and we improve on Marino with Pesce on Monday

This is incredibly specious reasoning, I understand being upset at this trade but they did well value-wise even if Pesce is likely to be a bad bet.

 

[BahlDeep]

Terrible value.

 

[forceten]

Terrible value.

Two second rounders, and the likely signing of Pesce, is not terrible value for the very good JAAAAHN MARINO.

 

[Devils Trap]

Terrible value.

What exactly did you expect !?

We traded a Bust and a 3rd for him, and after 2 years got two 2nd round picks lol.

 

[NJDevs26]

We didn't trade him at 'low' value, we traded him at meh value. Were we supposed to trade him after last offseason? Or hope he bounced back just to trade him for marginally more next offseason? This is actually an improvement over 'Ty Smith and a third' that we traded for him two years ago.

Fitz clearly wants to remake the defense and goaltending at both NHL and prospect level.

I don't think Hamilton is here long-term. It's the move that makes the most sense. Honestly I thought before the Sergachev trade that Hamilton could be headed to Utah.

Exactly, I dont think people understand value lol

 

[Blender]

Trading Marino for two draft picks is certainly a choice.
