There's a bunch of conflicting reports out there on the return in this trade. For example The Score just posted a few minutes ago and no mention of Grans, but a 1st and 2nd from Columbus.

Still a win IMO, especially if LAK is sending a second as well. Grans is a lottery ticket

Walker, Petersen, Grans, Columbus 1st(22), Columbus 2nd(34), LA 2nd (54) according to NHL radio.

I'm most excited about the picks and Grans.

Danny could seriously slip in a Carson B to the front office hiring right now -- none of us have reached post-nut clarity yet.

I see it now. Those two players, a first, two seconds and a prospect.

As Tomahawk said, tank commanders Petersen and Walker are here. Also have Florida's first rounder next year (thanks Chuck!)
- TobyFlenderson


Exactly. Maybe the franchise is showing some signs of life yet. Magnificent deal. Max value in draft cap + not a single player who would not negatively impact next year's standings.

Trade Hart and TK. See if Couturier can be (also persuaded to be) traded with max retained.

Then draft Michkov. This policy should mean there is enough high end draft capital coming our way next few years to mitigate downside if MM doesn't work out.

Even if he continues to stink here, he could be bought out next year. Haven't run the numbers on cap friendly yet but I'm sure it'll be palatable, especially if the cap goes up again.

If this is all Briere ends up doing this offseason I am already satisfied.

A lot of picks if this is true. Provy was gone anyway so this isn’t a shock. I’m not excited about the hart trade unless they get another high first and 2. Seconds or something like that.

Plus, Walker can be dealt at the deadline (50%) retained. Flyers didn't have to retain any money on Provorov so that's another win that he doesn't count for that slot. Petersen can be bought out this year or next.

All for selling high on both TK and Hart. Add Laughton to that list as well. Don't think they can move Couturier but I also did not expect this return for Provorov and a bad contract in Petersen.

Wonder if this accelerates a DeAngelo trade or buy out

Right but the score post is per Jeff marek who then tweets hearing additional pick as well. The dust has certainly not settled but I tend to believe Marek
- ClaudeFather


Excellent. That's one heck of a deal if we received a 1st, 2 2nd's and Grans.

Look at the provorov trade. Now hart HAS to go. Konecny too. BUH BYE
- Just5


Again very ok with anyone going, but for good value. Not just trade for the sake of trading. That's just stupid.

Sounds like they’re shopping him and will just take what they can get.

I’m a deep draft it should be ok if we can actually hit on the picks. Which we never do.

he is no sanheim for sure.

it is bad deal taking 2 cap dumps and just those picks. His cap hit is very tolerable for the next 2 years.

- hello it's me 2050

Who cares about the cap dumps. Getting 2 top 35 picks is where it’s at. These are the type moves that should’ve been made a few years ago

Apparently Provy had a hell of lot more value then some guys thought around here.

Is there a chance this cal Petersen could be the starter or is he 100% a backup
