Confirmed Trade: [CBJ/NYR] Adam McQuaid for 2019 4th and 7th round picks and Julius Bergman

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Columbus is bound to have no draft picks because they're trading them all away. Like how they're going all in, all chips on the table, all hands on deck.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Respect to Jarmo, I definitely think they could go on a cup run with their team now, well built from top to bottom

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

All these 4th - 7th rd picks..holy hell

 

[haveandare]

At least they died trying, that's better than doing nothing.

Except there was also the option of being realistic about the fact that they have extremely long odds of winning even with these additions and moving Panarin and Bob rather than self-renting the two most valuable assets they have and spending more on an extremely long shot.

 

[780il]

Holy f*** Jarmo's gone off the deep end.....

 

[MattySnipes]

Rangers loving 'em late picks. Have they got lucky on any last few years? I know they took Hank in the 7th all those years ago.

 

[WannabeFinn]

CBJ clearly the dumbest team in the league at this point. What a mess there.

Guessing Jarmo is fired this summer.

What an awful hot take lmao

 

[WilliamNylander]

What an awful hot take lmao

One pick before the 7th round. Giving up two picks for a sub replacement level player.

No need to be upset, but that front office is a huge mess.

 

[Kane One]

All these 4th - 7th rd picks..holy hell

And that first, second, and third.

Yes, better be a bubble team a la Minnesota Wild for 5 more years!

I think only Tampa is a team Columbus needs to fear in the playoffs. Everyone else is doable.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If columbus loses in the 1st round, gotta think Jarmo gets fired

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

And that first, second, and third.

Well...obviously yes but how many great players do you find in later rounds?

Detroit and a few other teams being the exception

 

[Leafs87]

Damn Toronto should of been all over this

Odds are CBJ and Minnesota both end the year cupless, but the Wild won't see 3 hugely valuable pieces walk for nothing and then go to the draft with two picks.

Plus there's also the third option of being realistic, moving the huge pending UFAs who won't commit, and reloading for a quick turnaround.

 

[ref19]

Blue Jackers about to skip the draft? I like Jarmo going all in though.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

More coming? The TV said Julius Bergman.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I could have swore there was another player in this trade

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Columbus the 2019 trade deadline champions

 

[MMC]

They said on NHL Network Bergman might be in the deal.

 

[Ainec]

They traded a 4th and 7th to get McQuaid to begin with, except Rangers picks > CBJ picks.

This is a swing and miss by the Rangers.

didn't realise that

 

[llamateizer]

So a 3rd and CGY 7th is available

2019
1st OUT Matt Duchene trade
2nd OUT William Karlsson expansion draft trade
3rd STILL AVAILABLE
4th OUT McQuaid's trade
5th OUT for 2018th 6th round (Tim Berni)
6th OUT Ryan MacInnis trade
7th OUT McQuaid's trade
7th IN (from CGY) with Duclair's trade

 

[5cotland]

Rangers get Julius Bergman as well in the trade.

 

[Nordique]

Safe is death...

 

[justafan22]

Safe is death...

people on here overvalue mid-level prospects/picks after the 2nd round way too much.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

McQuaid is the Torts-iest player of all time. He will adore him.
