Wow, really curious about the return.

Also, thank goodness GMs decided to start doing stuff in August.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Hopefully Winnipeg gets some value out of him. Their scouting is really good the problem is no one wants to play in Winnipeg

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Unexpected

 

[HabsQC]

True if huge

 

[StIvany4Norris]

What a few weeks for Dubas, wow

 

[Satan]

KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Pickering to Winnipeg possibly?

 

[Reality Czech]

Juicy!

 

[Mr Kot]

Dubas gets a lot of shit, but he can be a good GM at times.

 

[StIvany4Norris]

Fine with Pickering or Poulin included (and assume one is)

Let's wait for the return...

I want to like the shit out of this comment but let’s see what is in the package from Pittsburgh.

If it is somehow not Yeagermeister/Pickering, I will be thoroughly excited.

Let's see what he gives up. He is a very active GM and makes a lot of moves which is nice as a fan. A lot of them don't turn out though

Interesting trade. I wonder if Pitts will let go of their unprotected first

 

[Romang67]

Pickering to Winnipeg possibly?

It'd be surprising. LHD isn't exactly a team need. Though he is quite tall, which is always a team want.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Give little Boy Wonder credit... He's at least trying to make sure it's not a total disaster there when the old guard retires.

unprotected 1st would make some sense. Pitt needs youth injection now. Winnipeg can take a risk on Pitt being bad and they need to draft and develop their own stars.

 

[HanSolo]

Bummer.

 

[Canovin]

Maybe for Petterson?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Dude wanted a guaranteed roster spot and found one. Just happens to be behind two of the best centers this century.

Unprotected first would be dumb as hell. PIT ain't getting any younger.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

nice

 

[Bottle Rocket]

Brayden Yager from Saskatoon and Moose Jaw would make sense. Both picked 14th OA one year apart.
