Confirmed Trade: [FLA/ARI] Jason Demers (12.5% retained) for Jamie McGinn

[Egblad]

I don't get the fuss. Demers played pretty mediocre and was a Rowe signing, no? Tallon probably wasn't a fan to begin with and with the money they pay their top 2 d this was a way to shift some money to forward where they lack depth it seems. I can see McGinn being a good third liner for them. I think it's a good trade for both teams.

Holy ****! Level headed thinking!

I still think Florida is a playoff team this season.

Just don't get all your core players injured again

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah but Florida is an analytics team, amirite?

Which current playoff teams do you think the Panthers will surpass? Imo they're more likely to be 31st than they are to be a playoff team.

Not sure how Demers played for Florida, but if he can play like he did for Dallas, this is an absolute steal for Arizona.

its a good trade for both teams. coyotes add a solid rd for under 4mil, adding to an already improved d corp with oel and hammer.

panthers/tallon wanted to get rid of the contract, he wasnt in the longterm plans yet had 4yrs remaining at 4.5per. im glad to move the contract, he was also redundant in our corp, too many offensive minded guys and we had 4 rd with him, mccoshen will make the team most likely giving us 3 ld and 3 rd, while balancing out the defense more given mccoshen is a more defensive and physical defender. also, mcginn gives us some stability in the bottom-6, a guy who goes and plants himself in front of the net which we were lacking. he only has 1 yr left after this, so even if we dont want him next year its easy to just buy out the final year if need be. we were lacking winger depth on offense so any little bit helps. i didnt care about what the return was, just wanted to move the contract and use the dollars elsewhere in the future.

Demers is mediocre, but it's still a pretty good deal for the Coyotes.

Over paid players get less value in a return especially if they have an NMC or NTC. McGinn could have been a healthy scratch in the coyotes lineup while Demerara is a 2RHD for sure. Over paid players are an albotraus

This project started and ended last season. That's exactly why Demers was traded.

Nice try tho
