@SunGarrioch
The Sharks and Rangers have agreed on a deal for draft picks. The deal will be completed once Ryane Clowe agrees to move. #TRADETRACKER

Let's keep this in it's own thread instead of the mega Trade Deadline thread.

Mod Edit:

Conditions of the additional 2nd round pick:

#NYR The 2014 conditional pick going back to SJ is a second-rounder if Clowe re-signs OR NYR win two rounds of playoffs. Otherwise a fifth

Wait until confirmation that Clowe has waived.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

It's done.

 

[Fitzy]

I always thought the NHL entry draft was overrated anyways.

 

[dmjt4160]

He needs to just be Prust but start scoring goals again. Thats what I would do

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Meh. If he comes in and plays well, re-sign him. If not, I will be annoyed.

 

[Parker]

Any time you can trade a bunch of picks for a guy with zero goals, you've pretty much got to make that move.

 

[Machinehead]

We gave up 3 picks for Taylor Pyatt lite. Unbelievable.

I don't know much about Clowe at all. Is he a Prust like player?

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Bad move.

In before people come in and try to make it sound like it's much worse than it acually is, though.

Pretty much this.

Is it wrong that I laughed extremely hard at this?

He is a tough, slow forward who used to chip in offensively. Where that went this season I have no idea. 2 years ago everyone was talking about how they'd kill to have him.

Well I'm a bigger fan of Rangers fans now.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Pretty much this.

So for now I am neutral on it. Has the potential to be a solid deal, has the potential to be a bad deal.

 

[Fitzy]

Fun fact; Clowe is apparently from Fermeuse, Newfoundland, which has a population of under 300.

Not one of Sather's better trades.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Why Sather why.

#NYR Told Clowe is making arrangements to get to New York for tomorrow's game vs. Pitt at MSG

Clowe with the game winner tomorrow night and the boards go nuts.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

You're right, Pyatt has 4 more goals than Clowe does, I was being way too nice to Clowe.

Clowe is a far better player than Pyatt. It's really not that close. He's had a down year, but he's pretty easily a better player.

 

[Loff]

Yawn, whateva. Just don't play like a oaf out there.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Clowe is a beast when he is on his game. And he was playing well the past few games.

If he comes to play and we resign him it's a great deal.

 

[Trxjw]

Fun fact; Clowe is apparently from Fermeuse, Newfoundland, which has a population of under 300.

So, you're saying we came close to trading more picks for Clowe than he had neighbors as a child?

 

[offdacrossbar]

imo, this is alot to pay for

a guy having a down year

on his way to 31

and who may bolt for vancouver in the summer....

i mean does this guy help us down the road even a little bit and thats assuming he even resigns?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I'm wary of giving up picks, but I love Clowe. He's freakin' awesome, and he's exacly what this team needs. A mix of toughness, skill, and size. When was the last time we had a Ryane Clowe-like player?

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
As per @Real_ESPNLeBrun, it's SJ's 2nd, FLA's 3rd and conditional 2nd (on re-signing or winning two playoff series). If not, it becomes 5th.
