Confirmed Trade: [SJS/TBL] Vladislav Namestnikov (50% retained) for Mikey Eyssimont

[innitfam]

I don't want Edmudson personally, but seems like the likely target.

Yeah, I could see it. Depth for this year and Cole replacement for next year?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Is that person reliable ?

Yup he is.

I am not a fan of his game personally, I don't think it would fit well with Tampa. But I am me, and I don't run a hockey team.

 

[DaBolts]

They now have $1,269,967 of LTIR space according to cap friendly. With third party broker deals possible, that is a significant amount they can play with now. They could also demote a guy like Perbix if they picked up a veteran D. The move opens up several more possibilities.

Perbix is not going anywhere after signing the extension. Odds are Hayden Fleury goes down. But what gets interesting is the available RFA Defensemen. That's not so deep so unless JBB is doing something insane (possible), the I have no clue.

I will say though, there's a lot of players who would fit into our 3rd D line.

I'd rather have a proven depth option over a 26 year who has yet to crack an NHL roster on a full time basis and likely won't crack Tampa's because It's Tampa

Tampa has to be doing something else.

Tampa is going for the late bloomer not the has-been. Eyssimont is gonna be an energy guy in this league for a while. I don’t think this was Grier lusting after Namestnikov. I think it was more Tampa identifying Eyssimont. This is what good teams with a track record of sustained success do.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

What is Grier thinking. Eyssimont is good and young

Get a pick for that. Is they (mike) doing more? He got aaaight of meier though. This trade here was more of a surprising one.

T-Bay needs young and cheap. Eyssimont has been really good this year, though not putting up lots of points. It's a sneaky good move for a cap team

Many Jets fans were irked to see Eyssimont go. He plays a tenacious style and I think this is a good move my TBL

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Eyssimont has been bouncing around and an RFA I wonder if they work out an extension at a AAV that can be buried if it doesn't work out. Something like $1m x 2 years.

What do the sharks get out of this??

A vet who won't be a part of their rebuild.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

If Mike is going to flip Namestnikov, he should have had the deal done before he made the trade with Tampa.

I nominate this trade as "WTF is this" move for this year's trade deadline.. Absolutely makes no sense for either the sharks or bolts

Don't ask Grier, he has no clue.

Makes tons of sense for Tampa. Eyssimont could do well on any line, and he makes nothing, and frees up space to get a d-man.

Sharks didn't get anything in return
Bolts retain 50% of the cap hit to increase cap space?

A fantastic figure skater.

It was pointless for the sharks unless he's flipping him for a 5th or something

Not sure i really get this one from Tampa's end. By the time they've retained on Namestnikov, the savings seems pretty small, if the aim is to clear space for another move. Obviously with Jeannot coming in, Namestnikov didn't really have a role or a spot in the lineup...but he seems like the sort of versatile, serviceable depth that is nice to have as a spare heading toward the playoffs. Doesn't really do anything particularly well, but isn't particularly terrible either and can plug in wherever. I guess Eyssimont fits a "role" better...if you have to bring a depth guy into the lineup in the playoffs?



I get it from the Sharks end. They need bodies, and Namestnikov is an NHL player who kind of specializes in filling minutes. Probably more useful than another fringe depth energy guy for them. Get him at half price for the rest of the year, that's alright. Especially if the Sharks do end up moving some more bodies out by Friday.

 

[wintersej]

The Bruins wanted to murder Eyssimont when SJ came to Boston. Big pest. He also had about 40 minors in that game.

Why wouldn't we just fill minutes with Eyssimont?

 

[bl02]

Omg what is Grier doing? what is the point? I've only seen a few games of Eyssimont but i've seen enough of Namestnikov. He didn't even get a pick?

Eyssimont is gonna be great in Tampa lol

He fought Brayden Point the other day as well lol

 

[Telos]

There's a name I didn't think I'd hear again.

 

[Kranix]

Lowkey the best deal of the deadline as far as depth moves go
