I'm liking this for NSH and PHI and kinda ehhhhhhhhhhhh on VGK end of the stick. Glass seemed really high as a prospect but I guess he hasn't blossomed offensively. Ellis should help the Flyers for a bit. Win-Win-Draw?

 

[thrillermiller89]

Decent for all parties.

Vegas wanted Patrick who has more potential and is better (when on the ice) than Glass.

Philly wanted Ellis, the best player in the deal. But he, and his contact, will age similar to Brent Burns based on playing style. However Ellis is smaller so maybe he ages better.

And Nashville moves a big contract for a solid NHL Dman and a top prospect in need of a change of scenery. Not bad.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Vegas woke up today and told themselves they need Nolan Patrick? Like....Why?

Cause he's an upgrade from Glass and he's cheap

 

[JKG33]

Poile should probably be fired by now, what an awful handling of the expansion draft. Seattle can only hurt you once. Before the Arvidsson trade they already could've gone the 8 skaters route: 5D/Forsberg/Arvidsson/Jarnkrok. Try your luck getting out of a Duchene or Johansen contract, or lose a depth forward. Instead they sell low on both Arvidsson and Ellis, and now have to lose another player to Seattle. Horrible asset management

Huge overpayment for Patrick who's got a lot of big injuries already and he haven't exactly performed when he has played.

Vegas continue to trade away their youth... everyone knew the Pacioretty deal was bad when it happened, same thing here.

Glass has better upside and isn't injury prone.

Nashville heading into a rebuild?

Like San Jose they're pretending they're not so it doesn't affect ticket sales, but it is obvious to everyone around that they're not going to try and win the cup until they restock a bit.

Maybe not a rebuild, but definitely a re-tool.

is he....? You do know he had like 8 points this year?

I guess its a change of scenery type of trade but yeah

Nashville heading into a rebuild?

More of a retool. Tomasino takes Arvidsson's spot, Carrier and Fabbro and I guess Myers now replace Ellis. We get way younger and cheaper.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I like both, but Glass is better than Patrick imo. Idk why Vegas does this.

I like it for Philly and Nashville though.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

As a Rangers fan, I’ve been coveting Myers. Glad he’s moved on, he could be the best long term piece in this trade.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No, but we have Fabbro and Carrier on the right side and Ellis is over 30 and has a long contract. Still a solid top pairing/2nd pairing guy.

Love this for Nashville, but I'm still very high on Glass. Don't know much about Myers tbh.

From what I saw Myers is solid.

Patrick sucks and the preds traded a man with a head made of glass for a player named Glass.

Glass gers a fresh chance so that might be the main piece for the preds here and a huge piece.

Patrick can still put things together, but it's much less likely

 

[Mickey Marner]

Interesting deal. Not sure what Vegas is doing.

 

[wpgallday1960]

Wow, Vegas had a good cupboard of C prospects and now Suzuki and Glass are gone, and they have Patrick.

Very risky on Vegas part. Patrick has Injuries and questionable work ethic. Maybe a change of scenery will inspire him.

 

[FlameChampion]

Well this is fun.

I was under the impression he was quite injury prone. Is that incorrect?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Seems like Nashville still has to protect 4 defensemen unless they are going to expose Myers.

They don't exactly have any forwards(Outside of Forsberg) they seem particularly keen on protecting so that probably isn't an issue.


Forsberg
Johansen
Jarnkrok?

I dont even know who else they would want to protect here? Kunin?

9pts and -30 is an upgrade? Jesus christ is Cody Glass the worst player to ever play hockey?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Love this for Nashville. From what I know, Myers is great and younger.

But Flyers fans, correct me if I'm wrong.

I like Myers, but definitely needs to work on his downlow play around the net. I didn't watch a lot of Flyers games last season, but I watched at least 5-6 of them, and Myers panicked under pressure with the puck behind the net a lot. Didn't know what to do with puck & was soft defensively.

He was overwhelmed.

However, it could also be a system issue since he could never seem to find an outlet, which created the panic.

He needs to take a step back onto a bottom pairing and concentrate on playing D. Needs to be a bit more physical too.

I still like him, but there's a lot of growing to do there. He's only played 115 NHL games.

I think it's a good move for both Myers & Glass.

Nashville also saves money, which I think they need to do right now, along with Arizona.

 

[TheScandal89]

Wow thats all I can say.

 

[sigma six]

Ellis to PHI makes me happy. Best of luck to Myers and Patrick, lots of potential that will have to be realized elsewhere.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Don’t get why the Knights did that swap. But the Preds and Flyers did well.

 

[StickShift]

As weird as Nolan Patrick's career has been up to now—is he suddenly the #1 center for Vegas?!

 

[JoemAvs]

I guess Kelly McCrimmon got a bit sentimental here with Patrick. Lets see if it pays off, Cotton...

bruh they're 6 months apart in age
