It's well known that it's much harder to acquire draft picks at the draft than at the TDL.

Funny...everytime I watch the draft I see pics moving back and forth constantly.

Trade # 1

Sam Gagner, Jake Virtanen and Ben Hutton
For
Boone Jenner, David Savard and 2nd round pick.

Salaries are pretty close. Clb gets PP help, young Defensive depth and a young cheap player with upside.
Canucks get forward with size but has stalled offensively, RHD for PP and stability and a pick.

Trade # 2
Tanev, Tryamkin rights
for
Brett Howden, 1st round pick, and KoekKoek

Trade # 3
Vanek
For
Berglund (cap dump) and 2nd round pick

Trade # 4
Sutter
For
Hagelin and 2nd round pick.


Baertschi Horvat Boeser
Hagelin Jenner Eriksson
Seeing Sedin Berglund
Archibald Dowd Goldobin

Edler Gudbranson
Delzotto Savard
KoekKoek Stetcher

Extra prospect, a 1st and three 2nds.....rebuild and retool complete.

zero chance Pitt takes Sutter back at his current salary. That's the reason they got rid of him.

Brassard to PIT

I don't think wanting to trade Vanek and a dman who has value(Gudbranson) is ridiculous.
- Nucker101

We weren't talking "specific" players, we were talking generalizing about how many picks the team "needs" to have.

Brassard to PIT

Well 3 Stanley cups in a row, is impressive. I thought players were supposed to peak from 24-27. Not 28-31

Don’t forget Bo, I want to trade Bo now

That will be a good move for Pit

Brassard to PIT for a 1st round pick, Goalie Gustavsson, and more to come. (other pieces may be AHL players)

EDIT: Ian Cole is part of the deal going to OTT

Try covering one eye, that should help

Aside from LAK the western teams are quiet.

Ottawa is going for the tank next season when they will have to give up a 1st round pick.

Good job savages. Around 3000 comments over the past 3 blogs.

Add Ian Cole going to OTT as well in the deal

Really.... I guess some money had to go the other way.

Good deal for Ottawa, even when considering it cost Zibenejad and a 2nd to get Brassard

Per Dorion to Lebrun.

Plan is to immediately flip Ian Cole by Monday.

Nice blog

- VanHockeyGuy

I think the appropriate response is " Thanks belcherbd"

lol..they don't want Sutter back.

I don't see the Jackets biting on that deal.

Other 2 would be interesting.
- Nucker101

I doubt they want Hagelin either.

Rangers rebuild is going better than ours

And they started 2 weeks ago.

If someone breaks into my home while I'm there they will be shot. I'll deal with whatever happens after. You wanna trespass on to private property you will pay the Piper.

Forced entry into a home is one thing but shoot a guy who hopped your fence on your farm?

So they took on Brassard's which is more.
