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

[anezthes]

I'm a fan of Moran', making this all the more difficult, man.

 

[Order 66]

A streaky forward?

He'll fit right in.

Volkov on the Covid list as he goes through the trade protocol

Me too but the Ducks got by far the better player imho.

I think it's dumb that he has to "quarantine" just for being traded. He's obviously hasn't tested positive, got tested everyday being with Tampa

Is it because he takes a commercial flight to California? They could send Samueli’s plane to pick him up?

 

[KyleJRM]

You can be sick for several days before testing positive. The idea is to limit the potential size of an outbreak. If he got it right before being traded, it could now spread to two teams instead of one.

 

[duckpuck]

Much I've read in this thread and on the main board makes me think that if he can play, Volkov is a potential replacement for Rowney going forward. The swiss army knife comments seems to match the role Rowney has played.

 

[GreatBear]

I guess that BM views Tampa Bay's 4th liner as better than our current fourth liners. As such this is an upgrade. Time will tell.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

why the f*** is Bob wasting time on trades like this given the state of the roster? Is this another one of his "hockey deals"?

 

[snowave]

I usually negative Nellie, but for some odd reason I feel like this is going to work out ok for us.

In the Athletic Bob is quoted that it is very quiet. Due to Covid and the financial situation GMs are passive. So what do you expect.

And btw, even if it is a minor trade, we go a player, that IS actually an NHL player.

 

[dracom]

I honestly just don’t really care that much about this trade. Not bad, not good, just meh ok i guess

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I'll tamper my expectations a bit - even though Volkov is actually an NHL'r over Morand (who I felt had limited potential like Max Friberg - smallish forwards).

Reminds of when we traded for Artyukhin back in the day. I was hoping he would've worked out for us more than he did.

Let's face it – with Tampa track record, I think Morand has a better chance of succeeding in there than with Anaheim.

Come on, shit on Murray all you want for real reasons, but not made up stuff like „wasting time on minor trades“. No team is making trades right now. He isn’t putting teams on hold that are desperately looking to put in big offers for Rakell because he’s busy on the Volkov/Morand-swap. It’s either doing that or doing nothing while simply waiting for the market to get moving. The only way to force something right now is to sell low, and that isn’t preferable.

 

[Arthuros]

Big meh. I think the initial thought about this trade was that Comtois was good friends with Morand.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The thing I dislike most about this trade is that if Morand turns out to be an NHLer, regardless of what happens with Volkov, this board will never, ever shut up about it.

can't be worse than the palmieri or pettersson trades.....can it?

And that's even if he sucks as an NHL player.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Bob is in Damage control and hope for the best mode.. I Honestly think he is in the hot seat...

 

[mightyquack]

Let's face it – with Tampa track record, I think Morand has a better chance of succeeding in there than with Anaheim.

Doesn't matter what team he goes to, Morand doesn't have the ability to be an NHL player.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Doesn't matter if it is, won't stop folks from banging on about how horrible it was. Morand for a 23-year old! Past his prime!

AND the wasted conditional 7th round pick!!!
