Getting a 1st for Walker is a fantastic deal. All those overreacting in the other thread sure look stupid now.

It's very negative to think that not trading Seeler or Laughton long ago is fine. This team needs to be selling more than just Walker.

If we come away from this deadline with just a 1st in 2025, then that's an L.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Has an official deal been announced? Is it this year or next year?

It's next years

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Eww, he f***ing sucks Not that it matters as long as we get that first. Now get one more for Laughton and use them all to move up for Demidov.

Except... that's not the trade.

They got a first because of Johansen's contract.

 

[Danko]

Idk why we targeted next year's first though

I mean we have 2 firsts already this year, weak draft...move it to next year in a stronger draft, have 2 1sts next year as well

Congrats in advance to the Avs on winning the 2025 Stanley Cup.

We didn't get a 1st for Walker. We got a 1st for Walker and taking on a $4m cap dump. Johansen coming our way is not an insignificant part of the cost.

I am glad we at least traded Walker though.

lol Seeler is a good move?

Bobby Clarke tattoos buy one get one at the next alumni night. You down?

Thats the fletcher in Danny.

Gotta give away the extra pick always

 

[Chinatown88]

The fact that the big reporters don't have full details and the guy is already on waivers makes me paranoid that there's something that the homies won't like in the actual trade.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

No one has seen anything about Johansen retention, right?

(Other than the 4m from Nashville)

 

[Winston Wolf]

If the trade is as rumored, this is one of those "good initiative, bad judgment" moments.

Which is still a net positive for this organization.

 

[Danko]

Pick is top 10 protected, so could be a 26 pick - unlikely

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

lol Johansen waived already

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Johansen has another year left after this one at $4M fwiw. He’s uh not good anymore.

He has always been useless. Can't stand that f***ing guy, so he'll fit right in.

Nope

They got a first because of Johansen's contract.

I fail to see the problem here. We have cap space, Walker was likely returning a 2nd at best. Getting another first is a huge win.

If we can somehow fleece someone for another 1st for Laughton, we're cooking on gas.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I was not as insistent on a first as others, so I'm probably less happy than most of us.

It’s a better draft

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Hate the protected first bullshit though

Quickly checks to see if next year has an exceptional player.
