Yoo what? Is this confirmed

 

[therealkoho]

Good job, wow

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bullshit. Absolutely hate this. God forbid you move Kerfoot. God forbid you move Engvall. God forbid you not only don't move Holl, but you take him out of a top four role.

 

[IPS]

Oh wow...

 

[DopeyFish]

sandin is our best LD WTF

 

[Schenn]

I don't know what to do with my hands

 

[Bellzy]

Woahhh

 

[JKG33]

I don't hate this one

 

[SprDaVE]

Oh wow that's a weird one but it kinda makes sense.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

wow. what a shit trade.

unless we're moving the 1st for another player

This is a terrible trade, and I'm someone who is critical of Sandin

Have think Sandins hold out didn’t sit well with management. Shaved some money and recouped a 1st.

Something else has to be cooking.

 

[Schenn]

My guess is Dubas knew Sandin was going to be pissed that he wasn't going to play in the playoffs so saved himself a trade request this offseason.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I really hate this trade. Just.. I don't get it at all unless Sandin asked for a trade. Why are we keeping Holl over Sandin?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Well it was either lose a trade or let him waste away in the press box for Holl. Actually playing him would be too much to ask for

 

[TheBeard]

I don't quite know what Washington is doing.

They basically replaced Sandin with McCabe moving forward. Gustavsson is just a depth LD piece having a huge season and they get a 1st rounder to spend on something else at some point.

 

[Steven1562]

Well at least we recouped a 1st rounder.

 

[93LEAFS]

Value makes sense, sad to see a young promising player go, but he was unlikely to get the minutes here to improve his value so selling now made sense.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Bullshit. Absolutely hate this. God forbid you move Kerfoot. God forbid you move Engvall. God forbid you not only don't move Holl, but you take him out of a top four role.

He's the odd Dman out with the McCabe acquisition. We got rid of one of our now depth defenceman for a top 6 forward.

 

[mapleleafs34]

I'll evaluate this trade once I see what Dubas does with that 1st rounder. Definitely not keeping that

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Bullshit. Absolutely hate this. God forbid you move Kerfoot. God forbid you move Engvall. God forbid you not only don't move Holl, but you take him out of a top four role.

God forbid anybody wants those heaps of crap

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He's the odd Dman out with the McCabe acquisition. We got rid of one of our now depth defenceman for a top 6 forward.

Yeah and he shouldn't be. But Keefe has a boner for Justin f***ing Holl so f*** Rasmus.

Pretty much this. I'd be shocked if we don't move that 1st rounder.
