Making room for kirby

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Lafferty is a UFA at year end, so this is likely to clear a contract spot.

Nylander is hot garbage and nobody would give up anything for him. Beginning and end of this trade.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Davidson sucks

 

[Hawkaholic]

Davidson sucks

He traded an AHLer for an AHLer. I don't see the big deal.

 

[Dead Meat]

Another Stan blunder gone.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Davidson sucks

Strome is next.

 

[TJBrocker]

Why bother, they could've just not qualified Nylander

We turned a 2017 first round pick into Sam f***ing Lafferty. Thats how you get to where we are boys. Do that 10 times over and you'll be Stan Bowman!

And that 1st round pick is playing 20+mins in the NHL every night.

 

[CallMeShaft]

What a waste, thanks Bowman....

Useless trade

Useless trade

Yup, couple useless players

One occasionally hears about people who start with a pack of gum, and through Craigslist eventually trade their way up to a car or house. Chicago takes the opposite approach.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Whatever. Rando for a rando.

From Pen's message site: "Lafferty has been the worst guy on the team to get regular playing time the last couple of years by almost any measure."

 

[Hawkaholic]

Not a big loss.

A 22 year old top 4 Dman is not a big loss?

Maybe our pro scouts are terrible

 

[jls24]

Well on the bright side he can skate and plays aggressive. Maybe he won't give the guy he's covering a 10-15 foot buffer and try to actually get the puck back from the other team.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Maybe our pro scouts are terrible

Everyone in the FO outside of the Euro scouts are terrible. This org is on the fast track to being the late 90's to mid 00's Hawks again.

 

[Gurglesons]

I think Lafferty will look at a lot better on a team with less depth than the Penguins.

Giving away Joker couldn't be defended but some tried

What a disaster that trade and many other Bowman trades of last few years has turned into

Yeah. I remember some fans tried to defend it, hard.
