Outside of the Duke trade, I’m not a big fan of Griers moves today.

This is a nothingburger, but seems pointless.

 

[hohosaregood]

I can only imagine @Juxtaposer popped a party popper through the Hertl tears with this one

 

[themelkman]

Really low for a guy they hyped up a ton in the Meier trade.

 

[Jts4thgoal]

OK... guess he didn't like what he saw and didn't want to put him through waivers.

 

[one2gamble]

he wasnt like good or anything but they dont exactly have a ton of dmen so why make this trade

 

[Hobocop]

Meh, I liked Okhotyuk, but that's fine. We have given up too many late round picks this season in deals that have done little to help us IMO so it's good to receive one.

Lmao. A conditional 5th? Might as well say future considerations

Lmao. A conditional 5th? Might as well say future considerations

The condition is the earliest 5th in the draft….

I don’t like this trade either but I get it. I do have a soft spot for Okhotiuk.

 

[GRANdSharks]

My guess to make room for muhk? Isn't he hurt rn tho?

 

[sharks_dynasty]

They also just picked up Thompson.

Sharks have Ferraro, Vlasic, Thrun on the left side as well. Yes to make room for Muk but also because there’s a huge log jam there

Ah. Okay. Thats a little better.

Figured it was a 2073 7th that would upgrade to a 5th if Calgary won the cup and lottery in the same year.

He has been, yeah. He's expected back soon.

 

[KarlssonsGroin]

sounds like basically a late 4th if its chicagos best

 

[RussianShark]

Damn, one of our only players who wasn't afraid to throw a hit. Who the hell is gonna speak Russian with Mukh now?

Nabby

 

[YUPPY]

this 5th rounder is from Chicago So it is a very late 4th rounder.

Damn, one of our only players who wasn't afraid to throw a hit. Who the hell is gonna speak Russian with Mukh now?

Barbie, Klim and Nabby

 

[CaptainShark]

Okhotiuk‘s underlying numbers where bad, even considering context. One of the few players where those numbers and the eye-test didn’t match for me.

That’s probably because he brought some Ooompf and his stickhandling and skating looked really impressive in bursts.

 

[karltonian]

man I feel like he could have had more value if he were in a better position to succeed and made a better showing. Not that we could have put him in that position with our dreck on D.

 

[YouJustGotPavelskied]

I liked Okhotiuk, he was young and showed some flashes of promise. Im guessing Grier and company have a target in mind for this draft pick

Demidov

I can't remember Ok hitting anybody in the NHL. I was looking forward to watching that part of his game too. Might have been one of the reasons he was traded tbh.
