Confirmed Trade: [BOS/ANA] Ondrej Kase for David Backes (25% retained), Axel Andersson, and 2020 1st round pick

[BruinsPortugal]

Cant believe we are really wasting a 1rd pick to get rid of Backes.

Unbelievable

 

[Grasshopperking]

Love this. I wanted him and hes always a pain to play against. Hooe it's not the only Kobe. But I'm happy if it gets backed outta here

 

[BB88]

Wuhuuu business time!!!

 

[Trap Jesus]

If they work Backes into a Kase deal it would be insane

 

[Kurtz]

As a Leaf fan, I don't like this.

If it means no Kreider to Boston, I don't mind it.

 

[Merrrlin]

The road through the east definitely goes through Boston again.

 

[justafan22]

FWIW, Kase's injury history is no joke.

but it's still not great value for anaheim unless boston's retaining money

Cant believe we are really wasting a 1rd pick to get rid of Backes.

Unbelievable

Bruh you get a 2nd line speedy winger and you get to dump Backes? Thats a steal

 

[Nucker42]

Has to be more involved here.... Ducks can’t be this dumb.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

lol the 1st probably needed to be tethered to Backes just to return a middling to late pick

the fact that Boston got Kase in return for it is absolute poop for Anaheim

 

[RedHot]

Shouldn’t the ducks be holding onto a player like Kase? Why move him now ?

 

[Del Preston]

Gritty veteran David Backes

 

[danpantz]

Has to be more involved here.... Ducks can’t be this dumb.

Seriously. gotta be more to this.

 

[The Note]

There has to be more than Backes and a 1st going to Anaheim. Backes has negative value at this point.

 

[Seachd]

Wow, so Boston gives up a 1st but gets Kase. Great trade from a team that hates you guys.

kase has excellent underlying numbers.

We don't know if that's what the trade is.

 

[BB88]

This means they are going after someone with term

 

[Nucker42]

For reference, Toronto traded 1st and got nothing back.

 

[37Bergenov14]

Not a fan unless the price is exceptionally low....which is unlikely. Even if getting rid of backes i didnt want to see the first go unless it was for a bigger return than kase.

 

[JKG33]

A 1st and Backes should get future considerations. If they got Kase without adding anything.. damn. Hate how good that is for Boston.

 

[Muffin]

They out on Krieder with his? Colorado was rumored to be in on Kase as well.

 

[OVO16]

Are we really surprised Anaheim is the place Backes is going too? Lol.

Anaheim and Murray absolutely love their grit.

 

[wingsfan17]

1st should be the cost to move Backes. Must be something else included if Kase is involved.

 

[justafan22]

For reference, Toronto traded 1st and got nothing back.

that was because Marleau's buyout to a team meant eating 6.25 million in dead cap.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Backes and is contract are absolute garbage. To get Kase back is a win.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Fantastic trade for Boston. Kase is worth a 2nd by himself.
