Confirmed Trade: [ARI/CHI] Hossa, Hinostroza, Oesterle, 2019 3rd for Kruger, Entwistle, Maletta, Campbell, 2019 5th

[Balthazar]

5.275M cap hit but only 1M in actual money. No wonder AZ is all over that.

It was just a swap of 16 to 20 but Chalky got his guy Chychrun

Plus Arizona added a 2nd on top of it. They really got next to nothing for taking Datsuk.

I thought he would be Ottawa bound

the red wings also got a compensatory pick in that deal

Breathing room

Can't see it being Karlsson unless they move Seabrook. Too tight in the long term

Depends on how much better of a player Chychrun is compared to Cholowski. I think in the long run this will be a deal we look back in and it's heavily favored for Zona

 

[BonMorrison]

Wasn't Hinostroza gonna break out this year?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

[Hossa] 'retired' in that he's played his last hockey game (he even admitted this recently in his native country) but he obviously doesn't officially announce it because then his contract would terminate.

[redcard]

I've always wanted to visit Chizcago.

 

[Wats]

damn montreal should be all over this.

Way too complex for Bergevin.

 

[Cor]

Over/Under on how long before a “Could Chicago want Karlsson” tweet/article?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Montreal should have been in on this but I would have wanted more than Hinostroza anyways.

 

[Curufinwe]

For once I'd like Arizona to get something more than peanuts for accepting these deals.

They barely got anything for eating the Datsyuk contract.

Because they had to pay Datsyuk a grand total of zero dollars.

 

[Ezekial]

What else is involved?
Upgrading Whoever The Red Wings got to Jakub Chychrun was awesome. Coyotes fans love that trade.

And at this point many red wings fans are perfectly fine with Cholowski and Hronek over Chych.

 

[Helistin]

Wouldn't it been easier not to pay anything instead of paying zero dollars?

I'm going to ignore the players actually taken and just look at picks. Moving up 4 spots in the middle of the 1st rounds should cost roughly a 2nd round pick. In reality, Arizona took Datsuk for free. It was a weird trade made by an inexperienced GM. Detroit is still screwed, but they got out of the Datsuk debacle quite easily.

 

[HOPE]

If the price to do it was Hinistroza, I don't regret it. Would be more of the same here in MTL. I would have wanted a pick or a D (which is something CHI might not have wanted to do or been able to offer).

yeah my original post was from a different thread wich was deleted and transfered here. wasn't aware Hinostroza was the player coming back

 

[Unspecified]

I really hate this crap. Trade a contract for a player who has even said he not going to play anymore is just asinine.

Coyotes got Chychrun in that deal....that was a tremendous get for Arizona.

 

[Rschmitz]

Arizona has a lot of friends right now.

plus his cap hit helped get them to the floor

It wasn't weird. The Coyotes used Datsyuk's cap hit to help reach the cap floor without spending extra money.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

First Datsyuk, Pronger and now Hossa. Just accumulating legends.

They should retire all their numbers and lift up their jerseys.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

it is legitimately insane that the NHL is allowing them to trade this contract. INSANE.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Oh god what is Chicago clearing space for.

I bet they're making space for Panarin back...maybe Pacioretty

From a Montreal perspective Chicago has a lot of young players that intrigue me(outside of Schmaltz and Debrincat obviously unless Bowman happens to feel extra kind today). However, if it were something to do with Pacioretty I don't see why Montreal wouldn't just take Hossa's deal as well to lower the price a bit. More likely something to do with the Faulk rumours that were buzzing around earlier

I mean, this is what, the 20th time this has happened? Hasn't the novelty worn off yet?
