Confirmed with Link: [ANA/TB] Alexander Volkov for Antoine Morand and a conditional 2023 7th round pick

Who?

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

It's better than having him sit in the press box. I doubt they traded for this guy to sit him, unless they are going to sit grant, which I very much doubt.

I stress more the confidence part but even then I don't know about that, it's not like he's sitting every game. As for Volkov between the fluidity of the lineup right now and it being trade season I doubt that's a huge issue either, he'll surely play.

 

[Goose of Reason]

The fact that the prospect's name hasn't been released yet increases my suspicion that he is playing for san Diego right now.

I wonder if it's Guhle. I doubt it would be Mahura since he seems fairly high up the depth chart.

That's another good guess. I think it will be a dman as well. Someone not likely to be an NHL player but with high enough of a ceiling to take a flier on.

Could be. What is the quarantine protocol for US only trades? Is there even one?

I have no clue how it works when you're on the road but for Volkov I assume he just gets PJed and there's no quarantine, otherwise I believe it's a week.

Or he drives/buses from dallas to st. Louis. That is doubtful.

 

[ShadowDuck]

So we’re buyers?

 

[Paul4587]

He’s ok. A 4th liner with a little bit of upside.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Lightning fans don't seem crazy high on him but he's only played 28 games total and that might be the toughest lineup in the league to crack. I just want to know what we gave up.

 

[Trojans86]

How many guys do you have to expose for the expansion draft? I heard from one of my inside guys that they were short on guys that were able to expose because we are so young. This may be a precursor to another trade where we lose a guy we need to expose.

Stephens tweeted an athletic piece on volkov from the lightning beat writer. Seems he has some motor and confidence issues, so he will fit right in.

NOT MORAND NOOOO

 

[ChaseANA]

I was impressed with Morand in SD. Hell of a motor. That said I don't think he ever amounts to anything more than a checking fwd.

 

[bsu]

Aw man ima miss morand on the gulls

 

[Static]

Very surprised it is a forward considering san Diego is so short. Morand scored his first tonight too, wish him well.

Ahh. Like putting on a boot that's already broken-in.

Yeah, we have his rehab plan already on file.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Comtois and Morand bromance is officially over, that’s the only sad part

Only two forwards who have a contract for next year. Maybe things just changed but your inside guy might be full of shit.

Yeah, dels and grant should fulfill the requirements.

 

[Paul4587]

Reading that this guy can play all three forward positions. He may have had a game or two in the middle at some point but this guy is very much a winger.

Mostly played center in the A according to JD Burke.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Aw I liked Morand a lot this year. I think he has NHL upside as a bottom 6 energy guy. Seems like the type of player that will thrive in Tampa's development system honestly.

Sucks that Morand and Comtois don't get to play together now.
