That's amazing, Djoos brings energy that Sprong kinda lacked.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Djoos always seems to put up big AHL numbers

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Mixed feelings. I've dug Sprong as a prospect since he was drafted, so I was excited initially, but it feels kinda inevitable and he really didn't do anything that distinguished himself here outside of a good shot. Hope he can find himself in Washington.

 

[Static]

I know nothing about this guy either. Seems small.

 

[Masch78]

Hmm, not sure about this one. I would have given Sprong another year.

 

[Goose of Reason]

I'll wait until I learn more about Djoos but I'm tentative about this. I really like Sprong and hate losing him.

 

[Terry Yake]

so we basically dealt pettersson for djoos

don't know much about him but it was obvious the organization wasn't willing to give sprong much of a chance

 

[PuckProspects]

With how many wingers we have this makes sense. Djoos has looked good in the few games I've seen him in

 

[Ducks DVM]

So, we turned Petterssen into AHL depth. Ok.

 

[Deuce22]

Pettersson for Djoos. Not good.

 

[Terry Yake]

i don't get why they weren't willing to give sprong a chance

 

[DigiDuck]

Feel bad for Sprong on this one. He could've been given a chance here now with Ritchie and Kase being shipped out. He won't be cracking that Washington lineup. On the plus side hopefully he'll have a chance to learn how to use his shot better from AO.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

So, we turned Petterssen into AHL depth. Ok.

I'm sure there's a perfectly sound rationalization for that.

 

[Deuce22]

So, we turned Petterssen into AHL depth. Ok.

"The Plan"will become apparent soon.

 

[11Justin93]

Yeah, this one is bullshit.

 

[The Duck Knight]

This is a fail, but it was obvious this team wasn't going to give Sprong an actual chance, so may as well get something, although I'd have just preferred a mid pick.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

This one was obvious. We already lost the Pettersson trade. Although, I have no idea what Djoos bring to ANA/SD.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

A Kloos-Djoos line?

 

[Static]

Really interesting that caps fans aren't all that happy with this trade. Excited to watch djoos play.

 

[ADHB]

Djoos played regularly when they won the Cup a few years ago. Just a 3rd pairing D obviously, but at least the guy has a track record. And Sprong clearly had no place on this team, for better or worse. The initial trade for Sprong was terrible, but this one at least makes sense given the current situation.

i've noticed from all of our trade partners, no fan is happy with what they got in return.

Shows how much people value our players

boston fans are acting like they totally fleeced the ducks

 

[WhatTheDuck]

There's no putting a positive spin on the Pettersson/Sprong transaction, obviously has gone in the Pens favor.

However I will say that there is perhaps no better opportunity for a Dman to try and prove he can translate his AHL success to the big leagues. Especially right now with Fowler out, there's a wide open road to PP time that surely never existed for this guy in Washington.

I don't believe this is an AHL move, but more aimed at keeping the younger D down in SD while trying to perhaps unearth a diamond in the rough. Definitely better off giving this guy NHL minutes over someone like Guhle who isn't ready.
