Gotta love post deadline trades.

Letunov should help Hartford.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

It's a good old AHL deadline trade. Wolves are ravaged ATM on the back end due to injuries. Good to see them filling up on defense for their Calder Cup run.

So players acquired after the trade deadline can play in the AHL throughout the AHL playoffs right? What if they are on an NHL roster, and then waived by the acquiring team and clear? Can they still play through the AHL postseason?

They completed the trade before the AHL deadline. This move is for the Calder Cup playoffs, at least for Chicago. Hartford seems to be on the bubble, so maybe this is to mix things up on their end.

Poor person’s version of the Keane for Gauthier deal

Rangers and Canes still seem to love trading with each other even without Jeff Gorton around.

Pack have been short F's for a few weeks now, have dressed 8 D more than once.
They decided NOT to make Pack's leading scorer, Johnny Brodzinski, who has been up with NYR, available for AHL playoffs (with a paper demotion) on NHL TDL day

As a Canes fan, my opinion of this trade is that I didn't know which player was ours to begin with.

AHL fodder for AHL fodder.

Tarmo had his fans here, but he's not getting past the dozen other D on the depth chart ahead of him.

We lack C depth, so even if Letunov isn't solid gold, he's a warm-body fill-in in the AHL

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Tarmo still has upside. Letunov does not.

Nice deal by Carolina. They do a great job getting good Dmen from NYR for cheap;
DeAngelo
Skjei
Keane
Reunanen

Who wants to tell him ?

Who wants to tell him ?

Maybe Nemeth over the summer. one can hope

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Biggest winner in this trade is HF. No longer will fans have to see Bern include Reunanen in trade proposals.

Tarmo is two years younger than Maxim. Played in 4 games last season. Maxim hasn't played in the NHL since 2020. Tarmo had his fans but this is one of those blip trades I doubt has any impact. Doubtful either player will ever suit up for more than 100 games.

I thought Letunov was a promising prospect several years ago. Anyone want to summarize how his development went?

Poorly.

He's large, but he's not physical. He's not fast, doesn't have a great shot, isn't a great passer. He's not terrible at anything in particular, he's just not really good at anything either and doesn't really have any superlative physical gifts. This makes him a mediocre AHL all-arounder, but not at all an NHL forward.

Sorry folks, this trade is null and void. Deadline was last week.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

First post-deadline trade I've actually witnessed. I've watched hockey for years, but these kinds of trades I have not seen even once.

I was kinda surprised Tarmo was brought over. He doesn't seem to produce in any environment. Has he become a better two-way player?
