Atrocious.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Not gonna lie, I like it

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Not gonna lie, I like it

I don't hate it.

Could we maybe have gotten another 2nd or 3rd out of it? Sure, but its not awful.

Raanta=DeAngelo

Stepan=4th or 5th OA

Its not that far off.

Stepan is slow as hell, Raanta could've gone to LV, he's replacable. Finally a top 10 pick!

 

[mrhockey193195]

terrible.

 

[Whitehawk1186]

Gonna miss Stepan, but he was way too inconsistent. Deangelo has promise.

 

[JT Kreider]

NOT SURPRISED in the least.

Stepan was not all that valuable.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

As long as we don't take like Rasmussen at 7 OA I'm happy with this.

Just cleared 6.5M in cap space without any coming back (it seems), and I'm a big fan of D'Angelo despite the personality issues.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Awful ****ing trade. Down to 2 nhl centers. To add probably the yotes 5th best prospect/kid and a qst round puck in a weak draft. Deangello better light the world in fire. **** off Gorton.

 

[Fitzy]

I'll decide how I feel about this deal when I see what they do with the 7th overall pick.

Good luck to Stepan. Good warrior. Have to wonder how they shore up our depth at center now.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The more I analyze this trade, the more I like it.

This team needed change. This is exactly what we did here, and the value really isn't that far off.

 

[howztheglass]

More cap space for Shatty.

And Smith.

Don't hate it--wish we got more but in the cap world it's a win.

 

[Riche16]

That's younger for sure

 

[FultonReed]

kid needs to learn how to play better defense if he's gonna be a top 4 guy.

we're gonna miss Stepan a lot more than you all realize we will.

no reason we don't pick up a center somewhere. can't believe this team will be relying on Kevin Hayes to nut up this season. hope it comes to fruition, otherwise we're gonna have a very annoying season, visually speaking

 

[Fugazy]

More cap space for Shatty.

And Smith.

Don't hate it--wish we got more but in the cap world it's a win.

Shatty is seeking a 7 year deal. I hope they stay far away from that.

Completely agree.

Don't really care that much about our record next year. This really helps us moving forward IMO.

 

[Trxjw]

Friggin told you guys we were overvaluing him.

Cap space is a big deal here. I just hope it's not for Shattenkirk. And for the love of god do not screw up this pick.

I feel like this means big changes are coming. DeAngelo is a bottom pairing option for this season who can run the PP, but he's not a top-4 yet. This deal, without a doubt, weakens the team for next season.

 

[duhmetreE]

This team needed change. We're a stagnant team, especially in the playoffs. I'm hoping Nash is moved as well.

I really hope DeAngelo is a good 40pt dman.. I honestly don't know much about him, is Barrie a decent comparison?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Very bad trade.

 

[True Blue]

Shatty is seeking a 7 year deal. I hope they stay far away from that.

Agreed. Even with the cleared cap space, Shattenkirk is far too rich.

Not sure how I feel. Feel like they could have done better. And the team's strength (center) has now been taken away.

 

[Boris Zubov]

So much for Gorton maximizing Stepan's value. Brutal trade.

The Yotes fans are gonna be gloating they were right about the rate of return.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Not impressed. A deal will have to be coming

 

[Joey Bones]

Is there anything more added to it? Seems awfully low for just Stepan and Raanta!!

 

[joshhh]

Deangelo has promise.

DeAngelo traded twice within a year, and this draft seems like not the best one. I'm not a happy camper, but time will tell.

I hope somehow we get another 1st line C to replace Stepan.
