Nice. Gotta get at least a 2nd + prospect. Getting a younger D like Samberg or Heinola would also be of interest.
Mildly surprised… yet impressed Poile is taking this approach.

Samberg yes, Heinola no. We already have the ufkos, chistyakovs and delgaizos on the smaller side in our defense prospect pool.Nice. Gotta get at least a 2nd + prospect. Getting a younger D like Samberg or Heinola would also be of interest.

Heinola is currently in an AHL game too. Think he would've been pulled if he was in the deal

That’s a pretty weak return. Signals some confidence in letting the young guys stay in the top six though which I am a fan of. Solves any cap issues for signing the RFAs too. Overall I don’t hate it because we turned a last minute UFA signing into a pick but feels like we could have gotten a better return.
2nds are always good, shame it's not this year though. Hopefully means Tomasino gets a permanent spot in the line up.

Could've been a worse trade but its good Poile understands where we are at and made the deal. Must mean Tomasino isnt going anywhere.

We...couldn't get anything better than that?
After taking a step back: i guess stl did get a 1st, 4th, and filler for half off tarasenko and mikkola so maybe this is just the going rate. 2024 draft is supposed to be decent as well....

Meh. Since we fell off the pace of making the playoffs, I've been straddling the fence of wanting the team to keep competing, and thinking it would be nice to scoop up some assets in selling - if that was even going to be possible.
But just a 2nd a year off isn't the return I was hoping for. Hold onto Nino a year, sell him as a rental next year, you would expect to do better than this. It's not enough to have tipped your hand as a Seller IMO.
Although it does alleviate any and all Cap concerns we have for next season. Considering Joey's injury took buying him out off the whiteboard, it means now we have zero issues about signing our whole group of RFAs.

Every draft is allegedly awesome in some way or another. We probably won't even use the pick and will trade it to get an extra 3rd or something 2 years down the line.

Hey! You suck!
I would have just kept him if that's all I was going to get.
Gotta wonder how Josi is feeling about that whole deal considering he supposedly convinced him to come here.

If this is what returns are going to look like maybe I'm less supportive of looking to trade Jeannot, Ekholm, Granlund.

First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
I thought Nino could get more but it's also objectively not terrible work by Poile. Signing him to begin with was a "win now" short term move that, despite Nino bringing about what we expected to the table, didn't really work out given the team performance. So it's basically a free draft pick and we're back to our previous salary flexibility (well, would be nice not to have the McDonagh deal, but still).
Can't say it was the return I hoped for though.
