Trade deadline

[nine_inch_fang]

Looks like Granlund is going to Pittsburgh for a second. I swear I wasn't reading Twitter when I posted about Granlund a few minutes ago.

We've all been talking about it.

Jeannot is the only trade so far that's remotely surprising.

Granlund for a 2nd.

We get out of Granlund contract for just a 2nd and no retention? Sold.

 

[Predsanddead24]

Id have taken essentially nothing for Granlund just to open up another wing spot so a second is a really solid return.

OK.

Granlund will find a new home and then I think we're done.

Avs fan just passing through... got tonight's lottery numbers?

The only surprising thing was the return on Jeannot but it's not like Briesbois is a totally rational actor when it comes to trade deadline payments.

I know we've all been talking about but someone asked maybe 15 minutes ago, what else are we gonna do and within minutes of posting, it happens? Give a dude some props....haha.

Haha.....my wife has been asking for this same thing for a while now.

Fair enough, you're right. Very timely comment!

Later granny. We get another 2nd round pick and extra cap. So many questions about why we are accruing capspace though

Haslam told them to help him save a few bucks

This is from my twitter and I hope Sean Henry does it...

Who knows but my guess is they aren't really after cap space its just more a by product of getting rid of bigger contracts. Also if you are an owner and finally agreed to a rebuild saving a few bucks for a year or two probably makes it easier to choke down.

Is it accruing capspace or just getting an underperforming veteran out of the way of a prospect?

Like Glen said this is probably it since Johansen is injured and can't be shipped out.

Maybe we see Carrier moved if they can't find a flip deal for Barrie. Barrie could slot in for the "offensive" Carrier, who hasn't done much this year, next to McDonagh.

Well we just cleared about 10 mil in cap between granlund, nino, and ekholm... even more if we trade barrie. We either hording it for something or just tearing things down to the studs

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Ton of flexibility at this point, Trotz has a lot of options for what he wants to do next year.

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Seriously classy move by Poile to set this up this way rather than trying to double down on this underperforming crew and buying at the deadline.

$10 mil in salary off the books so far ... could be more if Barrie is flipped for picks. From a team within a few hundred thousand dollars of the upper limit in December to one with over $10 mil in space once the Granlund trade is final (assuming the pick in return is all of the deal).

 

[Armourboy]

I think any more moves after this will be more an indication that they are burning it down as far as they can. So if you see a Duchene, Fabbro, Carrier, McD, etc get moved they have decided to strip it completely down. I suspect though you won't see much more unless someone just comes knocking and offers something they just can't turn down.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Ok so current lines assuming FF9 and Jusso come back tomorrow (theoretically)

Forsberg-Novak-Duchene
Sherwood?-Parsinnen-Tomasino
Sanford-Glass-Evangelista
Trenin-Sissons-Sherwood

Josi-Fabbro
Mcdonough-Carrier
Barrie-Lauzon
Foote

Granny has a 5 mil cap hit which is gonna be hard to fit in here at the deadline plus hes got 2 more years. I dont see anyone beating our door down to take him without retention (which we shouldnt do) and we really dont need a cap dump.

My prediction is we get either a 2nd or a decent prospect for Sissons.

Looking at the roster again there are only 7 Dmen so there's no reason to flip Barrie or trade anyone else.

Right? I'm not missing someone, am I?

The fact he was traded or the return?

I think once we knew someone was going to pay a price based on a projected 20 goal scorer we had to bite, because theres a decent chance he will never do that again

I would personally split duchene and forsberg at this point to spread out the vets some.

Hes older and doesnt really fit our window. Might as well see what we could get for him. We got a 2nd for granlund so anything is possible

Wouldn't be surprised if Fabbro isn't shipped out here as well.

Also wouldn't be surprised to see Barrie go, but that might be next deadline or the offseason coming up.

 

[BigFatCat999]

I'm just wondering what the return would be for Duchene at 50%?
