Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CI: Friday, March 8 at 3 p.m. ET. (TV info in OP)

For anyone wondering why Mikhail Vorobyov was included in this trade:

a) The Flyers received Hanifan with 50% retention from Calgary, and then
b) Traded Hanifan with 25% retention (50% of 50% remaining) to Vegas

The NHL appears to have a policy that teams can’t flip a player with salary retention while only surrendering “Future Considerations” in return. The third team retaining salary must give up some sort of asset in the three way trade.

Thus we see the RFA rights to Borobyov included in the deal by the Flyers. Vorobyov is age 27 and played in the NHL previously. Will become a UFA this summer on July 1st. His RFA rights are worthless.

You talking about Vorobyov, right?

That's an interesting rule. He's worthless to us though, so it makes sense to include him

Forsling 8 x $5.75m in Florida

 

[GKJ]

William Lagesson looking like he’s hitting waivers.

Anyone on waivers should be of interest for a team looking to add from the bargain bin.

Seeler looks like a steal now

 

[Curufinwe]

Stop the Seel!

 

[BritainStix]

Wait what? Forsling is a very good player.

Perreault’s been just okay in the AHL the last few years, hasn’t continued to build on his draft & D+1 season as you would hope. But I still like this gamble by Montreal.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Random former GMs are out here dumping leaks now. That’s quite the speculated return.

[GKJ]

Should claim Raanta

There’s zero chance I’m trading Perreault if I am New York. You never know but his D-1 & now his D+1 season he’s tracking to potentially be something special.

 

[ponder719]

Raanta is damn near perfect for our needs, unless the Devils claim him first.

 

[FlyerNutter]

That’s an awesome deal for Florida with Forsling.

Beaut of a player.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Hanzel is a nice target in a minor trade like this.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Should claim Raanta

Raanta is great when he's healthy.


The problem is he's never healthy.

 

[Cody Webster]

Is Jaret the one they gave a new deal to hoping a team wouldn't claim him?

No

Moverare.

Moverare.

No

Gracias.

It was too many pages for me to go back and try to find

 

[freakydallas13]

TDA on waivers, lmao.

Already tired of the LTIR trade deadline/playoff discourse. I swear some would love to make player movement worse than it already is just because of few instances of it being done.

Not only that, but you have to have a very deep team where this is even viable as a positive. If the Flyers had to LTIR Konecny for most of a season, they'd sink like a f***ing rock. How'd they do without a single non-star player in Couturier?

The best run teams are uniquely positioned to take advantage of certain rules. Good! Be one of the best run teams.
