Confirmed Trade: [PIT/TB] Mark Streit (50% retained) for a 4th in 2018

[Tasteless Beaver]

Really? He's given away a decent-ish player with one year left for pretty much nothing. It's ok, but it's not like he's robbed anyone here.

If Filpulla had three years left maybe, but it's only one.

They have cap troubles, this was a very smart move to make.

 

[Bryzard of Oz]

Pens - Streit
Lightning - Late 4th
Flyers - Fillpula, Mid 4th, 7th

Works for everyone imo

Thats hilarious

Note to Armstrong's secretary...don't tell Doug if Yzerman calls...."Uh, Mr. Armstrong is unavailable."

Filppula had a NTC, removing him saved the $5M and opened up another forward slot to protect. He played this perfectly.

 

[FinnLightning26]

So Yzerman cleared 5M in cap and an expansion draft slot for a conditional 7th. Noice.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

He's going to look so weird not wearing the TBL blue.

As a Flyers fan he's gonna look even weirder in a Pens uniform.

Yeh I totally get that but he's essentially only given a player away for free.

He may as well just have waived him and saved the 7th.

 

[More 2004]

If your name is Filpulla, you should feel useless

It would be funny to check the Filpulla value thread again

He would have way more value if he didn't have to be protected for the expansions draft.. That tanks his value.

 

[Love]

...but I just bought a Streit Lightning jersey

Hang it next to your Gagner Lightning jersey

And I didn't think it could happen unless we retained at least 1.5 mil. Pumped!

Really? He's given away a decent-ish player with one year left on an overpaid deal for pretty much nothing. It's ok, but it's not like he's robbed anyone here.

If Filpulla had three years left maybe, but it's only one.

Considering we kept getting told we'd need to package a prospect or pick with Flip, this is a solid move.

Feel free to dismiss. to dump a forward clearly on the downward slope with a NMC on a $5M cap hit coming into an expansion draft when teams are needing slots to protect their future for a 7th round pick is masterful.

It was a great deal for Tampa and Philly.

As a Flyers fan, I'm thrilled. It works well for us (I know TB thinks it's a still, but we needed another guy like Fili for 1 year).

And we're def not trading with the Pens.

If he kept that decent-ish player he was for sure losing one of Johnson, Palat, or Drouin. He did very well here.

 

[Pandaman11]

I assume Hextall didn't want to trade him to their rival and is now pissed at Yzerman?

 

[3074326]

Fine with me. I didn't have high hopes for that 2018 4th anyways.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

The trades that Mr. Yzerman made today shows why he is the smartest General manager in the NHL.

 

[1865]

Is Filpulla's NTC now voided as he's been traded?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

the pens just locked up another cup IMO

 

[WesMcCauley]

Yzerman is a smart guy. Well done getting rid of 5 million in cap hit

First - you cannot bury 5m in salary. You can only hide 900k of it. Second - Flip has a NMC which means he can't be waived. Third - Flip vetoed two trades today (reportedly) - he probably would not have waived to be exposed in the expansion draft. Fourth - even if he was exposed to the expansion draft, there is no guarantee that LV would pick him, which means we would be in this exact same situation come June of trying to deal Flip.

This was a brilliant move by Yzerman.

don't believe so

 

[Karl Eriksson]

He was out of Tampa 'lightning' fast.

Boom

Y flips that 4th for Sanford

Can't wait to see Streit's tribute video when he returns to Tampa.

Is it an NTC or NMC? People are saying both.
