Both Conacher and Jeffrey make $600,000 this year, no?
Yeah, I don't really get it. Last time Jeffrey played a full or close to full season in the AHL, he was at the top of his team in scoring. (This is at age 21 and 22.)

From what I understand, Jeffrey's contract was up this year. This is so we don't need to re-sign him.
Woah.
Hold on to your hats folks.
**** just got real.
I agree though, good deal for the Comets. Speaking of 'Comets', I am always reminded of the dog from Full House whenever mentions 'Utica Comets.' Comet was the name of the Tanner Family's dog.

Jeffrey is a year older and has around a .80 PPG clip at the AHL level. Conacher has scored at .93 PPG pace and spent a lot more time at the NHL level in scoring roles.
It's not a huge difference, but Conacher is the more offensively gifted player. I don't really get the need to make the trade, but doesn't bother me either.
Conacher is pretty much useless. If you can't crack the NHL at 25, you're likely not going to at 26. It's not like he hasn't had opportunity.
He is doing well in the AHL, but looking over his resume he doesn't seem at all impressive. Not like we gave up anything important for him though, so I'm kinda 'meh' to it.
In recent games Jeffrey has been fading. Started the season well in Utica but then got banged up and never got back to top form.
Utica needs a shake up and Conacher provides a little of this. Conacher has more NHL potential IMO but ultimately this is an AHL deal.
does conacher take up a vet spot?

Truth of the matter is Conacher will skate around a lot and take dumb penalties trying to prove his worth at the NHL level. He really accomplishes nothing out there.
During the lockout he was on fire for Tampa's farm team and when the NHL resumed he was in top shape so he looked like he was better than he was. Here in Ottawa Murray took a gamble that most of the fan base was shocked by but were at least optimistic. We lost Bishop in the deal which hurt and Conacher just fizzled out.
Vancouver will be his 5 team in 4 seasons. Career AHLer.
No, he played in less than 260 games between the AHL and NHL prior to the start of this season. Next year he will be one of those very valuable veteran exempt players with more than 260 but less than 320 games at the start of the season.
Dustin Jeffrey on the other hand is considered a veteran.
