Confirmed with Link: Nemec going, going, gone…to Calgary (for two future firsts and a second rounder)

[Captain Lou]

This was a masterclass by Sunny.
A+

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Not the best trade but this is Fitzgerald fault for pushing Nemec off the team. Nemec pretty much demanded a trade as a result.

 

[EnglishDevil]

A lot to like there, dumping Tsyplakovs contract and getting a bunch of future picks as capital to make further trades or restock the cupboards with someone competent at the helm making decisions in the draft (no more Chase Stillmans in the first round).

Nemec never wanted to be here and he's not worth close to what he's asking for.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I’ll always remember the 2OT winner.

That’s a good haul for making more trades. It removes the funk in the room and the blockage at RD.

Let’s see what Sunny does from here.

 

[jkrdevil]

the draft capital is meh. these are not quality 1st rounders.

These are the type of first rounders that get moved for quality players at the deadline every year.

You can be more aggressive trading your own picks if you have extras

 

[Nocashstyle]

Good value, but unexpected and odd return for solely a futures based package, but Emily’s tweet makes sense. Hopefully Sunny flips some of those futures in other packages for real upgrades

 

[NJDevs26]

BTW I wish Nemec the best and hope he turns it around. Wasn't going to happen here.

Nah f*** him, he needs a shot of maturity if he thinks he was worth $10 million...glad Sunny banished him to Western Canada the way Lou used to with his contract malcontents.

 

[Homedresser]

Like the garbage ones Florida used to acquire Brady Tkachuk?

exactly. those FLA picks are trash. 9 & 25 this year and what do you think next year is? mid 20's? for 26 YO top 5 forward

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Decent return. I actually hope Sunny uses all the picks in the draft because the team's prospect depth sucks.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Can someone translate this for me? How do guaranteed first round picks "slide".

Does this mean if one or both ARE top-10 picks then the subsequent year the pick has no protection?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

The big thing Sunny needed more than anything was some flexibility. This gives him some extra cap flexibility, roster flexibility, and capital to expend. Makes quite a bit of sense and doesn’t hurt how good our team currently is given Nemec’s struggles.

 

[MasterofGrond]

So Morin is a bit of a nothing burger, I take it?

Yeah, former 2nd round pick that hasn't done shit. He could turn it around, but almost certainly won't

 

[Dougie Donuts]

@Killing Joke 's nightmare is over.

WE WANT HELLEBUYCK!

their own pick is 12? what's that really worth.

If they end up in the top 10, they slide to the following year unprotected

A top ten pick in the current draft is VASTLY different than two future firsts almost certain to be in the 25-30 range

Correct.

The point is you can use these picks to acquire other players. It’s what happens all the time because despite what you think teams value these picks

 

[BenedictGomez]

Yeah, that's the only possible thing, but the odds of that happening twice in a row for either Vegas or Colorado is Powerball winning unlikely. LOL

If Vegas or Colorado fall into the top-10 in the year the pick is protected they slide to the next season, which at that point they are not protected.

Yes. The protection just pushes it to the next year where there is no protection.

Correct. Its only protected for their current year. If for some reason the protection has to he used the following year's pick is not protected

maybe mackinnon annhilates his knee, shrug

yeah it's not happening but also, weirder shit has happened
