Wut?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Well, initial guts reaction, WTF, I don't like this. We'll see if it is setting something up.

 

[AeroFishOne]

Yeah don’t know anything about the other two guys but I fing hate the idea of moving Dehaan.

The only way I like this move is if it’s setting up a big acquisition like duchene or panaran

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Garbage.
Something VERY good better be coming soon.

 

[GoldiFox]

That's a head scratcher. Guess they know best how bad De Haan's injury is. It looks like they paid Saarela to get rid of his Cap hit.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Interesting. Costs Saarela to dump DeHaan?

 

[Brock Anton]

According to LeBrun, we’re clearing cap, so idk what’s in the works.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Was this just a pure cap dump? Must be some real concern about de Haan's shoulder issues.

 

[Tryamw]

Yeah I don't get this one

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'm just going to reserve full judgment till other shoes drop or don't. We saw last year that just because you think that shoe will drop, doesn't mean it will.

If we set up other moves and think de Haan was too big of a risk, I'll be down with it. Otherwise, seems worrisome.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

wait we are dumping cap. what alternate reality is this?

 

[MinJaBen]

Whether or not this helps us down the line, I don’t like the fact that we had to move de Haan after one year. I guess this means the market for Faulk was very weak.

 

[GoldiFox]

Better be something in the pipeline. Forsberg and Forsling both have zero value.

This move makes the team worse unless De Haan's shoulder is mangled.

 

[WreckingCrew]

I'm initially not a fan of downgrading our D (and one of our few "vets") in order to acquire yet another unspectacular Chicago backup goalie...especially since he's an RFA. Unless there's more it seems like CDH > Forsling + RFA G (yet we add Saarela)?

 

[dogbazinho]

Well DW doesnt mind losing trades. DH was one of our most consistent D. Id rather have waived Faulk.

 

[Chrispy]

Well at least now we can buy out Darl...

"restricted free agent Anton Forsberg"

SONOFA

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I dont like the trade. Forsberg isnt good. Forsling is Fleury without the 7th OA pick.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Thanks, I hate it.

 

[GoldiFox]

According to LeBrun, we’re clearing cap, so idk what’s in the works.

Canes had to make room for Marleau's dead space

 

[Drivebytrucker]

I don't think fleury or beanis a big downgrade over deHaan.

I don't think AS was ever going to be an impact player for us.

 

[Brock Anton]

Value aside, it opens up a spot for Bean to play his way onto the roster.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Uh, what?

 

[Bub]

Well at least now we can buy out Darl...

"restricted free agent Anton Forsberg"

SONOFA

WAIT, WE GOT A FORSBERG? ALRIGHT!!!

No, it's Anton Forsberg, not "a" Forsberg.

NOOOOOOO

 

[TLEH]

Forsling has potential, I don't think Forsberg is very good. Is Saarela good? His stats and playoff numbers look excellent for a 22 year old.
