I wonder what's happening at Syracuse? Why is Tampa making these trades today?

 

[M2Beezy]

Called it

 

[super6646]

2 trades in one day!!!!

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Tampa loading up for another cup run, it seems.

 

[Maitz]

Wowwww Tampa are clearly buyers

 

[Rschmitz]

Huntington had a great junior career and then tanked in the AHL

2nd trade today where I legitimately don't know who anyone is

 

[SEALBound]

Something is happening here...

...gonna keep an eye out.

eh, stat line looks like almost any guy who played out the 5 years. Weak d-1 and draft year. Nearing ppg in their d+1 and a very solid final season as an overager

 

[north49er]

I guess this trade matters....somewhere?

 

[57special]

All i can think of is that $$ is involved here somewhere.

Bolts AHL cap is actually taking on more cap between the 2 trades… this is weird

any TB fans have any insight as to what these 2 deals may mean?

Change of scenery deals, not much to look at.
It has worked for Tampa before, most notably Carter Verhaeghe

What it is ain't exactly clear.

Sorry, wasn't trying to convince anyone that he was Alexander Daigle, just that he's a not very good prospect who did enough in junior to earn a contract.

So I, like many others here, spend a lot of my free time watching hockey, and talking about hockey with you fine folks on HFBoards. I also spend my free time playing hockey video games basically since I was a kid. Because hockey.

It's absolutely insane to me that there is a pro player in North America I've literally never heard of, and here we have two trades in the same day.

Guess I need to watch more hockey, eh?

No kidding. I'm heavily active in an online sim league, fill 50 man rosters plus picks, I've heard of Richard and Lipanov. The other two are new to me

Those names just scream career AHL/ECHL types

They scream future Art Ross winners to me

More than likely both teams have given up on developing said prospects. So they just agreed maybe a change of scenery would help each one respectively. Only thing I can think of.

I'd agree. Also, the Preds have shifted to playing a heavier game, Richard is tiny, Huntington isn't. Maybe that played a part as well.

These are the types of minor-league trades where the rest of us look at it and can only think... "but why"

Which GM picked up the phone and called which other GM and was like

"I gotta have that guy"
