Interesting.

 

[CapInSask]

This is me right now. There's our top line LW.

I'm scared to find out what gmgm gave up

 

[trick9]

Right now this can be a good move, i think he'll make a decent fit.

This is obviously in before the news of Burakovsky or Kuznetsov heading the other way.

Edit: Doesn't this move take us over the cap, assuming it's really just picks heading the other way?

 

[Capitlols]

Ffs.

 

[SimplySensational]

Maybe its Neuvy? Neuvy to Anaheim then a first + Neuvy for Vanek?

 

[strungout]

I dig it.

I'm told @Dustinpenner25 to @washcaps for likely 4th Rd pick,trying to confirm

UFA at the end of the year. Hope GMGM is only paying rental price.

Penner has a 2 million dollar cap it. Looks like the Ducks are trying to clear space for one of the big name wingers on the market, and the Caps can't really take on much salary... so I would guess someone with a similar sized contract?... looks like Mojo fits the bill there.


Wait for picks? how can they fit that under the cap?

 

[Carlzner]

LOL.

Wow

 

[NeilYoung]

If it's a fourth I can live with it, atleast Mcphee didn't get trade ***** yet

No offense but why would Mojo at all have made sense as the return?

 

[Burakovsky95*]

We have to be moving salary somewhere. Probably Neuvirth for a pick.

He's got one less point than Grabo.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

I'm fine with it, I guess. Re-sign him and it's a great trade. Hopefully they recoup the cost with Erat.

Hopefully it is the one they got from ANA for Perreault and not their own.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

They are probably returning the 4th round pick that they got when they traded Perreault to them. So it basically is PRO for Penner.

 

[trick9]

What a bargain.

Should actually get better pick back from Erat assuming this is the nail in the coffin for him.

 

[stanleycaps18]

Get rid of erat and that pays for Penner. I am ok with the 4th, that is a no-brainer.

 

[Monsterrain]

Penner doesnt do much. Id rather keep the pick.
