Interesting...

When he signed with the Bruins many thought he had a real chance to make it.

Surprised they couldn't or wouldn't at least get a late round pick.

Future considerations usually ends up as nothing, right?

Lyle had a really strong rookie season in the AHL last year. Then looked fantastic in camp and made it to the second-last round of cuts (and looked good in 2 pre-season games).





Then had a horrible season this year and was unloaded for future considerations. It's a bizarre turn.

 

[McGarnagle]

Bruins must have an NCAA free agent lined up and needed to drop a contract. That's the only reason you'd really see them give away a guy for nothing.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Someone else pointed out Bruins possibly making roster spots for college FAs.

Also Sweeney the master of getting absolutely nothing back for players coming in. Nothing world breaking, but all those mid-late picks are darts. Last time we shipped a guy out for draft picks alone was Frank Vatrano (if I can remember correctly). Everyone else Sweeney has let walk.

Vladar was the last one. He was traded for CGY's 3rd this year.

They only have like 44 contracts, so I doubt that's the case.

True forgot that one. My bad

Wait what does future considerations actually mean? Is it not a way of vaguely describing a draft pick?

no it's a formal way to say the player was traded for nothing and have it be 'legal' because you technically can't make a trade without something going back the other way. it's really a dumb concept but that's what it is.

It’s a depth issue. With the 2 most recent college fa signings they had 11 dmen in the ahl and 10 in the nhl, and they might sign Lohrei in coming weeks. Considering it’s a future considerations trade, i think its a favor to Lyle so he can get a chance at cracking the nhl with another organization.

Now I'm wondering if anyone who was traded for Future Considerations wound up doing anything at all of note in the show.

Room on the AHL roster more than contract count I think.

Recently, the Leafs traded Alex Biega to the Predators for future considerations and then later the Predators lent Phillipe Myers to the Marlies. You could speculate this was future considerations

 

[wintersej]

I think him becoming a bottom pairing NHL D is a real possibility.

Talented and size. Unfortunately the Bruins move on without receiving anything. Will the NCAA player even match his potential?

DeBrusk?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Bruins must have an NCAA free agent lined up and needed to drop a contract. That's the only reason you'd really see them give away a guy for nothing.

But before dumping him, they had 5 contract spots available.

Now they have six.

So unless they sign 6 players...

Edit: The point was already made.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I was high on this guy. This trade pisses me off more than the average Bruins fan probably.

Depending on what you mean by this, Larry Murphy was traded for future considerations. He’s in the HHOF.

But if you mean someone was “balancing out” the future part (as in they were the future consideration from a prior deal), Chris Simon was the future part of the Lindros to Philly deal.

And the oddest one was Peter White was traded from Chicago to Philly for futures, then “traded” back to Chicago for the AHL playoffs (aka lent to their farm team). So he was traded for himself

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

I am afraid this trade is not going to count as it is one week late. Sorry.

 

[CDJ]

Players who struggle in the AHL generally have a hard time in the NHL. Good depth for St. Louis and their affiliate. Nothing of value really lost for the Bruins

it is rarely a draft pick. sometimes is almost nothing, a small IOU, or just the benefit of the freed up roster/Cap space for 'sending' team

in NHL, how this sometimes play out, at this time of year, is a corresponding AHL<>AHL move
yesterday was AHL trade deadline impacting AHL late-season and playoff rosters (aside from young NHL prospect assets)

I don't see such a move today, at the AHL transactions,
but for example, in this case, StL AHL team could have sent a player on AHL deal to Bruins AHL team as the 'FC'
helping both teams balance their rosters
