Confirmed Trade: [OTT/CAR] Ryan Dzingel for Cedric Paquette and Alex Galchenyuk

[Paris in Flames]

Man. I remember being sad the Leafs missed out on Galchenyuk and had to settle for Morgan Rielly.

.....God damn I was dumb.

Great trade for Ottawa. Don't understand Carolina much.

 

[JoVel]

Have you watched him play? Dude sucks.

That's probably why he said "future star". He sucks now but let's not act like this guy didn't have lots of potential to be a star at one point.

 

[Emery]

I almost feel bad for Dzingel lmao

 

[EK65IsAGod]

I know it’s short notice, but I did my best photoshop of Dzingel in a Sens jersey.

Please be nice. I’m not very good at photoshop.

You can tell it’s fake cause of the pixels.

 

[cudi]

Sens need his speed BADLY. Just getting Paquette out of here is worth it.

 

[EXTRAS]

He was just the effective 4C on a deep Stanley Cup winning team while playing 13 minutes a night last season.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Paquette is good. He is definitely an NHLer.

I would go as far as, plays his role well.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Meh

Dzingel was a bad fit here, so it’s whatever.

This looks too weird. It will be a while before this looks normal to me.

 

[PKWeber]

Galchenyuk is getting puff, puff, passed around the league.

[MessierII]

Galchenyuks last stop. Khl next year.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Remember the old days when fans wouldn't trade Galchenyuk for Giroux?

Good days, good days

 

[StevenF1919]

Galchenyuk is hot garbage.

 

[JoVel]

Paquette was the centerpiece of NHL's most talented forward group's 4th line for years. To say he's not an NHL'er because of a handful of games in the worst team in the league is... interesting to say the least.

 

[PensandCaps]

He was just the effective 4C on a deep Stanley Cup winning team while playing 13 minutes a night last season. Lol yourself.

oh man 3 assists! in that 25 game cup run!

Paquette is the definition of a warm body. He's just there.

He was a Coach's pet in Tampa.

 

[Svechhammer]

I like this trade for Ottawa. Why does Carolina do this?

Because Dzingle was absolute trash for us? Ended up healthy scratched down the stretch last year and has been completely absent this year.

Looks to be the case of a guy with talent who will never put it together

 

[DitchMarner]

How many teams has Galchenyuk played for recently? He seems like the definition of a guy who is just there at this point. He may have to show something in CAR if he wants to stay in the NHL.

Also, OTT brings back a franchise icon. Spezza next?

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Galchenyuk is really talented.

Yet another new shot for him. Hoping this somehow works out this time.

He is awful and I doubt he even plays at all for Canes.

 

[Svechhammer]

Paquette was the centerpiece of NHL's most talented forward group's 4th line for years. To say he's not an NHL'er because of a handful of games in the worst team in the league is... interesting to say the least.

I mean with Aho, Trochek, and Staal in the fold, an upgrade at 4th line C was needed. Had to play Martinook there often because neither of our fixes from last year, Haula and Dzingle, worked.

 

[EXTRAS]

oh man 3 assists! in that 25 game cup run!

Paquette is the definition of a warm body. He's just there.

He was a Coach's pet in Tampa.

Believe it or not but it wasn't his job to score for tampa. His job was to be a defensive forward. What a weird argument against a defensive and physical forth liner.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Paquette is one of the worst players we’ve had on this team in years. Maybe he plays better in Carolina but just not having him here is a massive plus. The guy didn’t give a shit.

Can’t wait to see if Dzingel can get it going again now that he’s back.

 

[The Macho King]

oh man 3 assists! in that 25 game cup run!

Paquette is the definition of a warm body. He's just there.

He was a Coach's pet in Tampa.

The fourth liner didn't score a lot of points!

He is solid defensively, a good fore checker, decent on the pk, and annoying to play against. He was not the problem in Ottawa.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Remember the old days when fans wouldn't trade Galchenyuk for Giroux?

Good days, good days

MB made a better deal than that.

 

[CupInSIX]

Ottawa is gonna shine him up & flip him at the deadline again.
