LAK trades Bendan Lemieux to PHI for Zack MacEwen

[ru4reals]

Reign prolly don't even want him. Deadline not over let's get our 5th back Blake.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Yeah, this is the true definition of a lateral move. Not even worth the cost of the paperwork.

Seems like it, unless he's trying to do a deal that was slightly over the cap before this one was made.

Maybe penciling in for Turcottes body guard - ie a McSorely

 

[KingsFan7824]

That's what I'm wondering.

A guy like Zack Macewn is unplayable. He's not an NHL player.

That's what's been said about Quick all season, but many people wanted him to stay.

Looks like paying for a little more cap space... Blake could take on a big contract if doing picks prospects without sending any money back. Edit: 2.5 hours left - I dont think he wants to be done yet - this is maybe a cap space move prior to another deal (hoping).

Must have a big move coming. Wouldn't have traded Quick to free up all that cap space if he didn't.

Blake trading a non-roster player and 5th rounder for 500K of cap space.

I don't understand why we need more. We already had like 6.25, now we need 6.75? Who is available with that cap hit?

Lemieux had been so disappointing last year. I was shocked at how good he was with Lizotte and Kaliyev last year, but the magic disappeared after he bit Tkachuk. I'm not expecting anything of MacEwen, but just glad he's on a league-minimum salary.

 

[Fat Elvis]

Just a guess that Pepe wants to be with family on the East coast. Did him a solid that only cost a 5th.
Doubt the new guy has much of an impact on the remaining games.

 

[Schrute farms]

Unless you love 5th round draft picks, there is seriously nothing to complain about here on this trade. To be fair, i'm not sure there is anything to celebrate either

Pasternak is ours!

 

[Striiker]

I mean... Flyers fans here seem happy to get rid of him. Not sure what to make of it.

You should dislike it.

He's complete dogshit. Bad at literally everything that matters.

We're absolutely thrilled to not need to watch him anymore or listen to our braindead caveman broadcast team jerk off to his every move.

 

[Cook24]

would rather have had Deslauriers

Philly paid him too much

 

[AzKing]

People here bitch about every single move. It’s a wash trade and they saved some money. Get over it and move on.

Not sure Blake would do right by a fringe role player when he just gave Quick the Cleveland Steamer.

No idea. Might have been addition by subtraction too, but I always got the sense Pepe was popular in the room. His play has been a sad, wet fart this year though.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I’m biting my tongue on this trade.

 

[Pandaman11]

Basically goon for goon?

for real, this is either a nothing trade to give lemieux a fair shake at playing or a cap space move, big deal

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Philly paid him too much

And for three more years. No thank you.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Because Quick = MacEwan?

 

[HookKing]

Not a wash trade. Kings with their lousy PK could no longer play Lemieux.

They traded mediocre for mediocre and saved some money. That’s the definition of a wash.

 

[fsanford]

After Kopi taking a shot last night, they need to someone who can at least try to exact some revenge, successfully that does not include biting and scratching

 

[HookKing]

You can actually put the Flyers goon in the game.
