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

[Pandaman11]

Why does Pitt need Streit? Don't they have a ton of defenseman?

Many are currently injured.

Letang, Streit, Schultz, Määttä, Hainsey, Daley, Cole, Dumoulin. That's a good group, one or two will always be injured. The rest can be in the AHL. That's a good group, you can never have too many dmen if you fit them under the cap.

I don't understand this for Tampa.

Got rid of a bad contract by giving up a 7th.

 

[Doug Gilmour]

Well that's one way to trade him to your cross town rival.

 

[Ezekial]

Yzerman is a G.

...and they need cap space for Drouin, Palat, Johnson.

huh? We recovered the 4th we lost getting rid of Filppula and moved an upcoming UFA who wasn't getting resigned.

I mis-spoke. Meant Pittsburgh.

Have you seen the injuries to our D?

 

[achdumeingute]

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

which is why we got him because we only had 5 forwards worth protecting and have no issues with the cap.

Hes an upgrade for us.

lol nope that cond. 7th to PHI is now that 4th from PIT. Go HEXY!

(I was wrong!)

Good trade partners for a clutch time like the trade deadline. Love this day.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I don't understand this for Pittsburgh.

Why not? Pens have been destroyed by injuries on D all year and Daley has regressed on top of his injury.

 

[Evergreen]

He used philly to unload Fillpula contract and then turns around and trades Streit to their Rival. I love it!!!

The Flyers actually needed a middle-six center like Filppula. He filled a need. They have an open spot for ED protection anyway. And they don't care if Pitt has Streit. The Flyers likely won't make the playoffs this year and Streit will be gone next year. The Flyers likely knew TB would flip Streit anyway.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

To think that he could be our GM right now if Holland would have stepped out of the damn way.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Yea, Daley has sucked all year and theres questions of how good he can be after another leg injury and Letang on PP1 has been brutal forever.
Streit can step in and alleviate both those problems.
Potentially on point one. Definitely on point 2.

 

[I am not exposed]

Reminds me of when thomas went from boston to florida to dallas

Except played as a starter for Florida for two thirds of the season. I assume someone has already mentioned this, but don't have to time to read the whole thread!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Cause of Streit, Hainsey and Corrodo? Common now

Corrodo likely won't see the ice but the other 2 are solid additions plus you have 2 #1 goalies and all that fire power up front

 

[achdumeingute]

Good trade partners for a clutch time like the trade deadline. Love this day.

I love it when we don't do stupid stuff like Schenn for JVR which was bad value at the trade and only gotten worse.

This is a great deal for all.

Letang is garbage at the point on the PP. Streit provides depth, but can really make a difference at the point. The PP has needed a guy at the point for the first unit PP for literally years now.

Streit's not replacing Letang on the PP.

If Schultz couldn't do it with a December for the ages, Streit sure won't.

Pens or Caps winning the cup this year

 

[Bishop7979]

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.

Yeah but look who he has to re-sign, that 5 mil next year for a 7 goal player with a nmc was a major handcuff to keeping a laundry list of younger better players that need to be brought back.

 

[Zirakzigil]

I love this move as a Pens fan. Nice cheap depth on defense. All your defenseman belong to us!

 

[BB88]

If your name is Filpulla, you should feel useless

It would be funny to check the Filpulla value thread again

Tampa was in cap hell and there's expansion draft coming up.

They really didn't have any leverage. Now in Philly Filppulas value has changed.

 

[nyrcup94]

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

Works for everyone imo

Essentially, the Lightning traded Filpula, 2017 4th and 2017 7th for a 2018 4th. Seems like the Lightning really wanted to get rid of Filpula's salary or else they come out of this as losers with negative assets.

Pens or Caps winning the cup this year

I expected to read that statement in the Shattenkirk to WAS thread rather than the Streit to Pens thread.

Seriously, I could see someone pegging the Pens as contenders before and after this, but I'm hoping this comes out as a subtle move that pays dividends.
