Confirmed with Link: Husso to Anaheim for future considerations

[Euro Twins]

Ottawa or Montreal fan, not sure which he is, trying to "dunk" on Wings fans for saying he was great when nobody even said that. Pathetic.

Who cares what Ottawa fans have to say?

That franchise is a dumpster. Always has been. And Montreal? CUPLESS since 93, let them make their wise cracks.

I’d like a tracker on how often “future considerations” actually turn into something.

Just thought it was dumb is all.

Good luck to Husso in San Diego and/or Anaheim for the remainder of this season, and a thank you for being a good sport about playing in Grand Rapids.

That said, love the clearing of cap space, and hopefully we can go out make a deal or two at the deadline to bolster the lineup.

It honestly in league history is probably 98.999999999% nothing. It is just to makes trades legal with the NHL as you aren't allowed to officially trade for nothing. Future considerations gets around that, as the league can't prove that it won't be fulfilled.

It’s too bad we couldn’t have traded him in October. Dude was a f***ing bum this year and probably cost the team a few points.

I like this most for Cossa as he was losing starts with 2 vets down there.

It's just cash, right?

Doubtful. Lalonde was still the coach. We were losing those points regardless.

In the NHL, teams cannot trade a player or draft picks for cash alone, so a player or pick has to go back the other way. Oftentimes, a team wants to wait and figure out what position they need, or if they want to get a draft pick in a later round.

Future considerations can be as simple as swapping "conditional" picks within the same round in the future... at some point, but no it can't be cash alone.

To take an example, Kevin Poulin was recently traded from Tampa Bay to Calgary for future considerations. Hypothetically, let's say that the specific consideration is that in the 2016 Entry Draft, Tampa Bay will swap 5th round picks with Calgary if Calgary's pick is higher in the draft. If this ends up being the case, we'd hear about it, but if Tampa Bay already has the higher pick, we wouldn't necessarily find out that that was the 'consideration' because it was so minor, and ultimately not fulfilled.

Oh yeah, 100%. Husso to Anaheim frees up some extra playing time for him. He's 22-9-0 in 40 starts this year, which is really awesome to see. Maybe next year, he plays behind Talbot if we don't re-sign Lyon.

 

[HoweFan]

He is great… oh wait he’s gone nevermind

To be fair, he did play well in GR right? His stats are similar to Cossa.

Cossa has better numbers, has played more/tougher games and is a prospect.

Husso is an AHL backup on an NHL salary putting up ok numbers in limited AHL starts.

I also like that SY has freed up a NHL contract slot and some extra cap space...for future considerations on a player that would have walked for free in July as I doubt there was anyone out there who actually trade any valuable futures/pick for him. Interesting it is....I guess we'll see why soon enough.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Make the future considerations them taking Holl as well lol.

 

[FabricDetails]

Not for Leo Carlsson?
