Confirmed Trade: [NSH/COL] Ondrej Pavel and 2027 3rd for Juuso Parssinen and 2026 6th

[Soundgarden]

Hope this is as good as the burakovaky trade for us. A former promising rookie who then struggled.

As long as your coach doesn't prefer to play random goons over him you should be fine.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Meh, nothing to see here…
I‘m expecting Saros to Canes, Forsberg to Minnesota and Josi to either Edmonton or Toronto…

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Barry doesn't have a plan.

McDonagh, Tomasino, Fabro, Parssinen, Askarov, Wedgewood, Glass (paid to get rid of him) gone and you don't resign Sherwood, and all you get back are some prospects/picks while you sign old expensive guys in FA.

McDonagh asked to be traded and specifically back to Tampa.

Why? They're all in their 30's and producing.

Didn't know that. Nice of Trotz to just give in

 

[Linds]

Exactly, the preds recipe for success

 

[Bruce Granville]

Why? They're all in their 30's and producing.

Because they will each return a 2nd with 50% retained…

 

[herzausstein]

What is Trotz doing trading a young producing center away for peanuts?

Well it was clear Brunette wasnt going to use him. We went with 7 dmen just so Pärssinen didnt have to play. Might as well get something before his value is completely destroyed.

 

[Armourboy]

I mean Preds fans have known it was coming for weeks, it's why none of us are shocked by it. Dunno what Trotz is doing other then kicking guys to the curb Brunette won't play. Seems a bit like the coach is running the show rather than the GM.

I'd say Novak, Evangelista, and another wildcard are on deck.

My first reaction was WTF Palat is a New Jersey Devil.

My reaction was Ondrej Pavelec was still in the league...

 

[Jayevs]

Didn’t he start last season on a line with Forsberg and O’Reilly?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I wonder if this is related to the annunen trade.. which imo the Avs overpaid for.

 

[Gnashville]

Does Trotz realize he’s allowed to have players on his roster under 27 years old?

 

[Gnashville]

I mean we still have Molendyk, L'Hereux, Kemell, Wood, Svechkov, Surin, Schaefer, Edstrom, from the first round and three 1sts + two 2nds this year.

That looks like a bunch of trades for 3rd and 4th round picks in 2030

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Seems like Trotz had an agenda to get rid of every young player. Let's see how it works out

I think these trades are Trotz repaying the league after the Tanner Jeannot to Tampa trade.

He already repaid Tampa by gifting them McDonagh back

Does Trotz realize he’s allowed to have players on his roster under 27 years old?

As long as they have the hockey IQ of a 12 year old bantam player a la Justin Barron

 

[Czechboy]

Ondrej Pavel is a hard-nosed bottom 6 defensive grinder. Not flashy. Won't get a lot of points but he can be an effective NHLer. Hoping this gets him some NHL games.

 

[Leafs87]

Trotz has been awful in his first year as a GM

 

[Thechozen1]

Dear Barry, please send ROR to the Jets for next to nothing.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

I like what Trotz is doing.

Bro he sucks. Not NHL caliber at all.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

It's his second (he extended nearly all the young players he's now dumped in his first season).

 

[Hansen]

Who does Trotz think he's going to draft with all these mid round picks
