Confirmed with Link: CBJ trade Quick (50% retained) to Vegas for Hutchinson, 2025 7th round pick

[Cowumbus]

I don’t even care if it’s a 2026 7th, great job flipping Quick

Close, but 2025

2025 7th and some Scrub G

I’m not sure what you’re saying. Gavrikov could’ve (and was) moved without retention. Quick could not be.

They save money by not retaining at all on Gavrikov. They would lose money by not retaining on Quick… because he wouldn’t be tradable without retention.

oh no i was agreeing with you – it's not a "they will/won't retain" thing, it was about saving ownership's money.

gavrikov has a smaller cap hit but makes more money than quick, so swapping them saves the jackets money. then, trading quick with retention and replacing him with an AHL goalie on a two-way deal saves more money on top of that. as does trading nyquist with retention (unmovable without it) etc.

they could have retained on gavrikov (which would've allowed the boston deal to go through) but didn't; the end result is a different series of moves that saves ownership more money.

uh excuse you, i distinctly remember michael hutchinson having a good couple of months 6-7 years ago lol

Well, Hutchinson still makes $400K if he was sent to the minors so it looks like he'll be joining Elvis on the CBJ.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Close, but 2025

And another goalie to flip for a 7th.. stroke of genius….

more goalie "depth"

 

[Fro]

Hutch will backup Elvis...and basically replacing the 6th in the voracek deal in a ways

 

[mouser]

Columbus will end up paying Quick $303k in salary. ($13k for the day on the roster and $290k for 50% retention)

So what’s our cap looking like for next year? Still around 17?

Who’s starting the tribute thread

Definitely appropriate. He’s the only Stanley Cup winning goalie we’ve ever had.

 

[MoeBartoli]

With Hutchinson and Gilles now added, does Greaves “jet” all the way from the NHL to the ECHL?

 

[Doggy]

Definitely appropriate. He’s the only Stanley Cup winning goalie we’ve ever had.

Didn't Michael Hutchinson lead the Flyers to a Game 7 in the SC Finals vs the Hawks? Close. Or is he the former lead singer of INXS...I always get those two mixed up.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Well that was ... quick.

So what’s our cap looking like for next year? Still around 17?

assuming the following all happen:
- tarasov in the NHL
- texier back ($1.525m contract would slide)
- chinakhov at $1m aav 1-2 yr deal (10.2c RFA so no offer sheet or arb)
- jiricek making the roster
- olivier getting a raise to 900k on a one-way
- foudy getting the last spot over bemstrom

you'd be looking at just under $15m of cap space with a full roster. moving roslovic + peeke + bean would free up another $9m.

The guy from INXS?

Shit. Might have to change my name.

……though you did remind me that this guy actually started 3 playoff games for the Avs (and won two)

Damn...it was Michael Leighton...not Michael Hutchinson

Haha that's great. I hope Quick is a good sport about this, seems like most of his/Kings fans at least are.

Haha started before I read this I swear.

Leighton was a Blue Jacket for a few days too!
"“I got traded to Columbus at the trade deadline. I played one NHL game that (2012-13 season). That was a tough year for me with the lockout and then I played one game in Philly and I won in San Jose, and then I got traded to Columbus and they were right on the verge of a playoff spot and (Sergei) Bobrovsky was playing phenomenal, so they rode him all the way to the last game.”
