I'd love to eavesdrop on the family group chat this afternoon.

Before proration but after SB, the Calgary duo was set to earn 1.5 in cash. The AZ duo 4.55. So even with proration, AZ saved some real cash, here.

I guess Mackey and the money was the motivation?

That and getting worse so they get better lottery odds? Stecher was playing really well for the Yotes. And was very popular in the room. So maybe this is just a way to hobble the teams chances? Save a little scratch and get a long-shot career resurrection candidate in Mackey?

So, we’ve got Moser, Valimaki, Nemeth, Brown, Kesselring, Mackey, Soderstrom and Kolyachonok as our top 8?

The biggest surprise of the deadline is that someone would trade for the corpse of Nick Ritchie.

All they gave up was his even worse brother and a “prospect” who’s 26 years old. Lol.

Well, when you can trade a guy like Stecher who's loved in the room to get rid of Ritchie and slash payroll again then I guess you have to do it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if part of the free agency proposal is to move out guys at the deadline.

Lol if he does take the 12

Such a good point. They may have promised Stecher in the summer they’d try anything they reasonably could to get him out at the TDL.

Just wait until we draft Cal Ritchie with that Ottawa pick.

No word of a lie; my VERY first thought when I saw the T5P ‘23 OTT 1st in the Chychrun return was “Nice! That could be Cal Ritchie!” Then I looked at the next two picks. And looked again. And again. And thought “hmmm…”

Weird that we got no picks. Does this move really just save some salary? This Ritchie is also a UFA in the summer and Mackey an RFA that I doubt they qualify. So is this just a nothing trade?

I think MacKey will be qualified.

They might like Mackey somewhat and want to give him an audition.

They might have told Stecher and Ritchie they’d do what they could to move them.

They might have seen a way to save a million bucks real quick that they could bank for summer dump season.

Might be all three.

Treliving: We will take Stecher AND Ritchie.
Armstrong: Alright, the problem is the merch store just got a box of Ritchie jerseys that were on back order.
Treliving: Alright, I got an idea.

It does save 781k(edit) though if Mackeys signing bonus has already been paid and I did the math right.

Apparently he wore 24 in Calgary, so if they keep that and put him in his brother's spot on the Boyd/Fischer line, that preserves both the BaRF and the Dirty Dozens.

Or they like the brother more.

Try using underarm deodorant

I was quick to discredit Stecher early in the season and was calling him Stencher. Saw a few interviews and converted into a fan because of his dedication and seeing he treasures the opportunity he's earned. Wish him well.

I do as well. Most hockey players are so down to earth.

I don't understand this trade. What benefit is there to either Calgary or AZ in this trade enough to make it worth all the work of a trade?

I think cgy just trying to anything to change the vibe in the room. The GM in Cgy is limited because his coach (who he should hire) has more term on his contract than he does. He can’t do anything because he’s working in the last year of his deal and may bot get a new contract. treliving may be the heir to Hextall then.

Made my day.
I will try using that "deodorant" you talked about. Maybe that works ^^

But seriousIy, i think he is just more charming. Even though he does not flirt at all and his wife is with him.
I don't know what he has that i don't. Maybe its the small beer belly

I see Mackey leaving Mankato and signing with the Flames a year before Jake Livingstone's freshman season.
