Regehr, Sekera, McBain and... McNabb?

 

[Wayne Primeau]

WOW!! A first AND McKeown!

 

[Volica]

WOW!! A first AND McKeown!

Yeah; that's a massive haul for Raleigh.

[DCDM]

WOW!! A first AND McKeown!

Who needs futures when all you do is win? Lol.

3 Cups in 4 years, here it comes.

If LA and Van meet in round 1, I can't say wholeheartedly I would cheer against the Canucks... oh god

 

[Wayne Primeau]

 

[Taranis]

Nice for the Canes with McKeown and Fleury now from the U18 Canada team.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Good protection for the Kings.

 

[1989]

Sekera (FA) to Kings for McKeown and a conditional first. (2015 if the make the playoffs, otherwise 2016)

Hell of a price to pay but if they win another Cup (and they are heating up with perfect timing) then it's a non-issue at all. I don't know much about McKeown though.

Sekera was the one pending UFA that I wanted Treliving to acquire, but the price was obviously too steep.

Sekera isn't a game changer by any means. Carolina fleeced LA

But on the bright side with guys like Tlusty going for 3rds, and 1sts being passed around [mod].. I like our chances on maximizing full value for Glencross.

He was amazing for Carolina last year, if he can find his offensive game in LA it could be a huge add.

 

[Volica]

I don't know about that. Sekera is a good dman; he's maybe not built to be a teams top pairing guy... But he is going to thrive in the middle pair role.

 

[Calculon]

Sekera's pretty good. Fairly standard deadline deal for a rental.

If it seems like a lot, maybe it's because first round picks become more and more valuable around here with each passing season.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Vermette's apparently all but traded.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

The Yotes just called up Samuelsson... Vermette's as good as gone.

I betcha it's to Boston.

 

[CraigsList]

Treliving is smart. I think the overpayments with these past trades are giving Glencross a good value imo. And the GM that has not made a move will want to make one, and overpay (I am looking at you Washington/Tampa Bay).

Oh, hold on a tick:

 

[Calculon]

I'll be surprised if a team gives in to Maloney's rather extreme demands right now.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

What if LA doesn't make it this season and crash and burn next season resulting in a top 5 pick? That would be something. I doubt it though.

 

[BVicious]

So, quick question about the draft: if you don't make the playoffs, do you have a chance to win the lottery and get 1st over-all?

I ask this because I think protected 1st round picks could actually be a possibility for teams hoping to obtain players...

yes. all non-playoff teams have a chance

They probably wouldn't care because the draft won't be as deep.

They're probably going hard after him. Losing krejci for an extended amount of time hurts and that hole needs to be filled.

They've got a couple of 2nds to spare. 2nd and a prospect should get Vermette.
