Reported on TSN's coverage via Bruce Garrioch.

No terms yet, but I can't imagine what they're getting back that would make this worth it. Unless he made it clear he didn't want to stay.

 

[weastern bias]

Well, this is overselling

Unless we get a haul I don't like it

Uhhhhhh…

Ostapchuk would be cool for me (ex Vancouver Giant). He's a pure bottom 6 guy though. High character, high motor, age fits with the core. he's got a little offensive pop, but not much.

I like that as a piece but it has to be more.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I hate this already. f***ing Christ.

He's big, a solid skater for his size, has played center, was a captain in the WHL, and has a low-end scoring history. Maybe he's our 3C for now and proper 4C on a better version of the team?

But unless Zetterlund asked out there'd better be at least another young player and a mid/high round pick coming back

I am gonna throw a shoe

 

[cheechoo]

Grier is a mad scientist of the highest degree...

I really liked Zetterlund so my initial reaction feels like a massive gut punch.

 

[WSS11]

Is that really the entire return? F*ck off

 

[rekrul]

I can't imagine anything else but sucks balls

Well dangit, ain't a 3C/4C just what we needed in exchange for a young player worthy of top-6 minutes. It better be quite a bit more too.

[rekrul]

Not what they need and Zeets wanted to stay here,

 

[The Nemesis]

1 for 1?

That's lame. And that's coming from someone who's a bigger Ostapchuk fan than everyone else on this board put together.

Ostapchuk is a fun player who's easy to like but this is going to put him in a crap position with the fans.

 

[coooldude]

What the flying f***

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

This is horrible. And I'm somebody who would've been down to trade Zetterlund.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Hi I'm Brian Killme

 

[weastern bias]

2021 draft pick and that's his whole history

This can't be the centerpiece, if it is this is one of the worst moves Grier ever made

 

[cheechoo]

Grier must have tested the waters on an extension and felt uncomfortable with what Fabian was looking for.

 

[themelkman]

Horrible deal, this is why I think Grier is really only good at tearing things down and he just has no plan to build back up

 

[Juxtaposer]

F***ing horrible. I hate this f***ing team.

 

[wickedwitch]

...

Well that's slightly less terrible. Still not a good deal, IMO.
