Yeah but what's the details?

 

[deckercky]

Ohhh, player + draft pick is a steep price.

[DJA]

Frattin???

Latest I heard.. the name Frattin and picks in Gaborik deal to #Kings still not confirmed.

 

[IHeartZherdev*]

Did we seriously trade Marian Gaborik for Matt Frattin?

 

[Fro]

Helene Elliot says conditional picks

 

[Jackets16]

I'll take anything that helps us this year or in the future. The fact is we can win without Gaborik and he wasn't going to be on the team next year. Plus, there are so many LW/RW available, that probably no one is going to get what they thought for their player.

 

[CentreKeeper12]

I really hope Jarmo has something else up his sleeve

 

[Jackets16]

According to TradeCentre:

Frattin, 2nd round pick, and conditional 3rd round pick

 

[Samkow]

Unless those are high picks, this trade looks ****ing terrible.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

This is a nightmare.

Bought low on Gabby, sold way lower.

Frattin, 2nd and 3rd rd pics

 

[Jackets16]

I'll take it. That is more than Edmonton got for Hemsky. Probably took Frattin back to help LA with the Cap.

 

[DJA]

Wtf do we need another depth forward

 

[bizzz*]

The Jackets get Frattin, another right wing?... makes sense... if another trades are coming.

 

[Samkow]

I really hope this was to clear salary.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

So, we retained money for that?

Unless it's a Buffalo 2nd rounder, I don't really care about the picks.

Salary retained

Ugh, very disappointing. I didn't expect a huge return for Gabby -- his value's close to its lowest, I'd guess -- but this isn't what I'd hoped for. Can't believe we either didn't target or the Kings wouldn't part with a defenceman. A forward prospect, and not even a great one? Just ugh.

 

[Socks]

Mmkay. Well bye bye Gabby, hello Frattin.

 

[Fro]

TSN is saying its conditional picks??? hmmmm

 

[Jackets16]

Wtf do we need another depth forward

Maybe LA had to trade someone to take Gaborik? I don't know where they are with regards to their roster limit and the salary cap.

We got more than what Edmonton got for Hemsky. Not sure what you guys were thinking we would get, but you clearly think way too highly of Gaborik.
