He'll probably crack their lineup.

Doesn't have much quality up the middle feeding him pucks, though.

 

[Sharppi]

Goodbye Pulu, we hardly knew ya.

 

[Engebretson]

Overpayment

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Good for him, He'll probably get some ice time

 

[Wabit]

It probably gives Pokemon the best chance at cracking a NHL lineup. He wouldn't have gotten it in MN. Hope he succeeds with a new opportunity.

Sucks for Iowa losing Downing and Pokemon back to back.

 

[00xtremeninja]

Good ol Fletch, just gonna get those draft picks back!

 

[gphr513]

Yes, future considerations! We fleeced them!

 

[jackouu]

Good for Pulk's!

 

[elmaco]

What even classifies as future considerations lol?

 

[BusQuets]

Wild in complete selling mode?!?!?!

Was about to ask the same thing

In this case, it may be more appropriate to call it "Past Consideratons". This strikes me as a trade where Fletch gave them Teemu because Teemu wants out of Iowa, and because we just traded for Hanzal. I think it's safe to consider Teemu as a loose part of that deal. Maybe they had something in place verbally, or maybe Fletcher just did it to make Chayka feel good about trading with him. Despite what a lot of fans seem to want, GM's don't want to win or lose a trade and have the "loser" feel bad about his decisions, because GM's need to keep relationships good so that other GM's keep trading with them.

the hawks didnt feel bad when they fleeced us on the leddy deal. i wish pulky the best , i was excited when he got here but he must not have fit with the wilds plans.

Could be a ham samich, or could be a pick, or another player that needs a change of scenery. Sometimes it's just for the good of the player if he has no future in the organization.

Minor moves from GMCF this year:
AHL depth guy (Hagel) to Ott for future considerations.
Fringe NHL guy (Pokemon) to AZ for future considerations.
Loaned Gudbranson (ECHL for Wild) to Tor's AHL team.

Understandable

And has Fletcher ever traded with the Hawks since?

Besides, that doesn't really strike me as one team trying to fleece the other, just Barker busted hard and Leddy developed well. GM's try to typically make even trades. Sometimes parts of those deals don't work out, and one team "wins" because of it.

Yeah, this could be the reason that an Arizona 4th rounder was coming back our direction.
