The Pick we just got in the Gibson trade

 

[Tatar Shots]

What on earth is going on?

 

[Electric Eric]

Don't like that at all.

 

[Christien]

Disgusting trade. Expecting that there's more to this.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Yikes.

Now they probably need to get a first rounder from someone so they can pay to get rid of Holl.

 

[izlez]

Make it make sense

 

[PavelDatsyuk13DET]

head scratcher for sure. You have to think there's gotta be more to it than this because it doesn't take a second to move Walman.

 

[Frk It]

Are we clearing up cap for another trade? For free agency? Wondering what the thought is here.

If we could sign Skjei to replace him that could work out well, but upgrading via free agency seems like a gamble.

What the f***????

 

[Holden Caufield]

Andrew Gibson + Walman
for Kiiskinen straight up.

Yzerman done lost his mind.

 

[Ricelund]

Incoming!

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

People are welcome to play it cool but what the absolute f***.

 

[izlez]

Is there any possibility that Walman gets to San Jose and in "the future, they consider" him to be a really cool dude and good hockey player and give us a 1st round pick???

 

[Ricelund]

Gibson and Walman

Straight up for Kiiskinen .

Yzerman done lost his mind.

 

[minimal]

Got to imagine there's something else going on here.

[raymond23]

Buckle up…

 

[sepster]

I told you all Wallman was gone.

He put himself in the dog house somehow, and when a player does that, Yzerman doesn’t keep you around.

 

[Larkin2AA]

Anyone think something happened with the staff and Walman? Because to get absolutely nothing for him (on top of giving up a 2nd rounder) seems extremely odd. Clearing JUST cap space? Doubt it.

 

[Realgud]

Kiiskinen is the next finnish flash confirmed

 

[minimal]

When's Maata getting traded haha

 

[raymond23]

When's Maata getting traded haha

Please

 

[Hen Kolland]

Incoming!

Finally Suter is scheduled to land in DTW, that flight got delayed really bad

Even if you are right and he is in the dog house with Yzerman.... why isn't the trade more like Walman for a 2nd instead of Walman + a 2nd for jack shit?

There's no way we got rid of our second best dman, who would be top 4 for anyone in the league, on a great contract, as a cap dump.

It's either a setup for something huge, or it's another really bad an unfortunate Vrana-like situation (obviously unlikely, but like...we literally already had this happen to us once)
