“Part of a bigger deal”

 

[Gentle Man]

WHAT

 

[WESEERED]

wait what!!!

 

[RainingRats]

Wow. Did not see that coming

 

[ShootIt]

Wow, big trade.

Surprised tallon traded off Bjugstad.

So scratch off Bjugstad and Petrovic from the expansion draft exemption list.

 

[Gentle Man]

Yo....we hella upgraded imo

 

[WESEERED]

I am not sure I get this trade

Tallon is playing 3D chess lol

If brassard can get back to his old form our center depth is ridiculous.

Still need a top 4 d and goalie.

 

[floridada]

That's a funny way of spelling Bobrovksy...

Brassard has an expiring contract. And Bjugstad's salary exceeds his cap hit fwiw

More cap to potentially sign free agents.

 

[pantherbot]

I don't get the point of this trade...

Shit. The man can make trades though.

He should work for the government and get that trade deficit down. Damn.

For some reason, I feel as though this was a salary move to make room for something bigger.

Brassard and Sheahan are both UFA's, meaning $5 Million comes off the books for next season right there.

I don't know, this just seems like there's more happening here.

Somewhere @Jean Luc Discard is grinning like the grinch.
But now who's the whipping boy?

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Uh, sure?

 

[GrumpyKelly]

That’s what I think. Cap move and McCann is no longer a fit with Borgstrom. Save spending money on Bjugstad and a McCann extension

That's the only thing that really makes sense to me. We upgraded, but not like that's enough to make a push.

Don't hate it, clears cap. But guess it means we go big on bob and bread, which I don't think is necessary...
