Confirmed with Link: Granlund + Ceci to Dallas for 2025 1st and 2025 conditional 4th (WPG)

[Kcoyote3]

Oh hell yeah Mike

 

[WSS11]

Good return

 

[Friday]

Its a 1st and a 4th

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Huge win.

 

[Celly4Celebrini]

4th is a 3rd if Dallas goes to the Cup finals per LeBrun

 

[WSS11]

The Karlsson trade yields another 1st. That’s the trade that just keeps on giving.

 

[coooldude]

We definitely want DAL out early then, because better imho to get a higher late 1st than get a 4th turn into a 3rd.

And we're back to paying attention to the 20's in this year's round 1!

Turning a cap dump in the Karlsson trade and Ty Emberson into a 1st and a 4th rounder is some good GMing

 

[Hodge]

In the grand scheme of things we turned two players acquired as cap dumps into a 1st and 4th round pick.

This also goes to show how silly it was to worry about tying up all 3 retention slots. I doubt the return would have been much more than this even if we were able to retain. It was always the correct decision to use those slots on the highest-leverage contracts we needed to move i.e. Burns, Karlsson and Hertl.

 

[Friday]

Draft gets really fun again

 

[Jargon]

Wondering how quickly that 1st gets turned into someone’s out-of-favor young RD…

 

[STL Shark]

Good ammunition to add a D-Man this summer.

 

[Timo Time]

Grier should open a Michelin Star Restaurant with how much he's been cooking. LFG

 

[Jargon]

Funny enough those were basically our main 2 trade pieces for the deadline.

Ohhh shiii they have the fodder now

I liked your Byram idea. Would these picks, Ferraro and Musty get it done?

Agreed. The discussion around using those slots was so dumb.

After Grier’s comment about Askarov-like trades, I sort of assumed he was in multiple conversations about Dmen which is why I imagine he went hard for a 1st without bothering to get any other prospects, players, etc. Genuinely think there’ll be a trade for this pick in the near future or before the draft.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

The overall Karlsson return is almost level with what they initially gave up now

 

[Celly4Celebrini]

if you break it down as Granny for the 1 and Ceci for the 3rd/4th, also remember we got the 3rd to take Ceci initially, so 2 3rds for Ceci is great value.

 

[Shark Finn]

Very cool. Here's hoping Dallas sucks rest of the year.

Sucks to lose Granlund, but it is what it is. But turning a cap dump into roughly a 1st round pick is neat.

 

[weastern bias]

f***ing great trade

Turning 2 cap dumps into a 1st round pick, Grier is incredible with asset flips

 

[Jargon]

Grier has done really well on turning buy low cap dumps into something valuable. Though he got lucky that Granlund really found his footing here (or good scouting, who knows).
