[LeProspector]

STEAL for Arizona.

Brendan Warren and a 5th.

Isn't Cousins an NHL regular at this point? That seems low

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Warren has good speed.

So there's that.

 

[OVO16]

LOL flyers fans thought they were gonna get duclair

 

[Satastic]

Any info on what Warren is about? Haven't heard much about him

Very confusing... Maybe a bad apple...

Brendan Warren and a 5th.

Yep, in other words, nothing, which is fine for Cousins.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I'm indifferent.

We were going to lose Cousins anyway either due to not being re-signed, or ED.

At least we got a pick.

 

[LeProspector]

Very confusing... Maybe a bad apple...

Maybe it's to open up a protection slot?

 

[Jonathan17]

Cousins is like Marchand but with no talent...

He wasn't going to be protected and was going to struggle to make our roster in October.

Brendan Warren and a 5th.

Well, that was fun for a second.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Don't know anything about Warren. Arizona gets the better of the deal because they get the NHL player. Flyers get something instead of nothing so I'll take it.
Won't complain about the return under these circumstances.

 

[trostol]

well..that was huge...thanks Timmy

Well there were rape allegations years ago, but were dropped.

I think it's more that we weren't bringing him back so we traded him and actually got something back.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

We weren't protecting him anyway

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

wow, bigger than i thought

 

[Maurice of Orange]

There's really no room for Cousins regardless, but it really sucks that a scrub like Bellemare takes up a spot that could've been his at least in the short term.

I totally agree with you, I was a big believer in Cousins game. Don't understand why Hextall gave up on a younger player like Cousins when they keep trash around like Bellemare, now that gives me a reason to dislike Bellemare even more, definitely not happy about losing one of the best churpers and penalty minute drawers in the league.

Was there a reasonable chance that Vegas was going to select him in the expansion draft?

Lol, Nick Cousins is barely an NHL level player. It's a nothing trade for both sides.

2018 5th

 

[M.C.G. 31]

G Merrick Madsen in the deal too, per Custance.

 

[Tripod]

It's pretty crazy that Rinaldo fetches a 3rd and Cousins only a 5th.
