There’s a hockey name.

 

[Three On Zero]

But why???

 

[Artemi Panarin]

But why???

“I owe you” from the Krav trade? I don’t know.

 

[DeltaSwede]

Thanks for taking a contract spot I guess?

 

[Charlie Conway]

I was just looking him up earlier because I thought he had some good looks with Chicago as a rookie and I wasn’t sure where he went from there. Didn’t realize he had been traded to Vancouver.

 

[Paulinbc]

Awesome!

 

[Taylorst]

Wyatt Kalynuk was in Chicago for a period of time, the broadcasters , beat writers all sang the same tune how this kid was going to become a top defensive player.

Yeah that never happened he is at best 7th defenseman but is probably a Ahler for life.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Why? The D in Abbotsford is pretty thin with Brisbois and Wolanin up with the big club.
Seems odd to move out a decent AHLer but maybe this is a favour to the Rangers for Kratzov.

I saw a couple of those Chicago games, really thought he was going to make it too. He looked good. And then vanished.

 

[Cogburn]

I genuinely forgot we signed him. Good luck to him, i guess.

 

[Goptor]

Damn,

The Canucks just traded their mascot.

 

[Siludin]

Are the Canucks looking to sign Truscott and get him some AHL minutes or something?
Abbotsford looks pretty solid this year, surprised they would move on their depth at defense, but maybe also trying to guarantee Rathbone some playing time too?

Your absolutely correct. I just think if your nhl material and skillful enough you'll stay consistent and relevant enough to be noticed positively.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Kalynuk is a very smooth skater, good lateral movement along the blueline in the offensive zone.
I had high hopes for him 2 seasons back with Chicago but he never seemed to take that next step into becoming an NHL regular.

Disappointing.

Thats illegal though isnt it. You cant just make a trade and then pay the balance of it later with another trade

truscott is out for the remainder of the year, so no

 

[biturbo19]

Okay. Bye...

I would say this is just housekeeping to free up a contract spot for Vancouver. But they don't exactly need it right now and i believe his deal is done after this year anyway? Unless Vancouver are planning to sign a whole crapload of undrafted free agents or something?

 

[Bitz and Bites]

How would the league know even if it was? If it was then it was just a gentleman’s agreement done over the phone over previous negotiations.
Kalynuk is playing in the AHL so trading him for future considerations wouldn’t really raise any eyebrows.

 

[Nucker42]

Truscott, maybe Livingstone or Milinski…. Jurmo next year… I don’t think he was in the long term plan

 

[a tribe cq]

Rydahl can log 4th line C minutes currently and is a good depth piece imo.

Sorry not getting your point. What do you think future considerations means?
In past, there was the term "player to be named later"
One thought i had re this, maybe 1, or both, teams wanted to see how TDL week played out, before deciding which 2nd player would come back to NYR to complete trade for Krav

 

[Vitto79]

Rangers D depth after the top 6 stinks so here we are

 

[Siludin]

You can trade a player for nothing at any time. There is no requirement to send something back. Future considerations pretty much means "free" but it could also mean something akin to "last right of refusal on a future deal" or "call me if you need a favour later, and we will oblige"

Would be cool if he could get a cup of coffee at least. This season didn't work out for him at all. Partially due to injuries.
