Confirmed Trade: [CGY/SEA] Tyler Pitlick for 2022 4th round pick

[ItWasJustified]

There isn't any. Francis is awful.

Can't lay all the blame on Francis. They have an entire scouting and analytics department that is just as responsible.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

is there a more vanilla player in the league?

 

[Bonin21]

“Where’s the side deal for picks?!?”


“What a stupid side deal for a pick!!!”

The picks they should have acquired were from pre draft deals.

And yes, this was a stupid deal.

This has been rumored since the leaks about the picks started happening yesterday. This actually is a pre draft deal.

Vanilla is better than Dominik Simon. He started the season as our best RW last year. This year our best RW is Nick Ritchie.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Seattle can’t ice a team of 30 players, so makes sense to grab a pick. Super underwhelming that this appears to be the only side deal however

Pre draft deal = "We'll give you this so you don't take this guy".

i'm not criticizing the pickup for Calgary. Its just a really boring trade.

That’s so weird that someone would think a trade that came about pre draft would be considered pre draft.

 

[HockeyFan100]

One of the better picks they made at the draft and then they trade him away for a 4th? Ok then...

 

[bossram]

Francis really wheeling and dealing now. Using all that cap leverage he has. Woop woop!

 

[Double Dion]

Yup for sure. Not exactly a blockbuster. We need an actual top 6 RW at some point.

 

[Ementy]

Yeah what the heck? Does Seattle not want any NHL calibre players on their roster this year?

I don't understand this one either, I was thinking earlier they at this point need to trade for more players in the organzation. maybe possibly offloading a better asset player for a couple good asset players. Getting rid of a NHL level player for a 2022 pick seems to not help putting the best team forward.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I am whelmed

 

[DFF]

So this is the best Francis can do?

 

[DJJones]

shit I was expecting Edmonton's 3rd to be sent.

Next years 4th is way better.

 

[ESH]

Now watch him be stapled to the top line for half the season

 

[nturn06]

i don't understand Seattle's motivation on this trade.

They are not competing and got a pick for a 29 YO fringe NHLer.

A pick that at best return a fringe player

 

[HoseEmDown]

Seattle has Eberle, Donskoi, Appleton and Tanev who can play RW and are clearly better. They also took Geekie who can play there who has big potential as well as Bastian. Arizona had crap to choose from so they at least got something out of that garbage. With the rumor Philly was also interested think they could've tried to get a 3rd or maybe a 6th on top of the 4th.

 

[Mobiandi]

Mark Jankowski

 

[Some Other Flame]

Waste of a pick

 

[VainGretzky]

Flames will be very happy with him he is a hard-working competitive player

So are you suggesting that GMs should never trade for 4th rounders or later?

For Seattle a late pick is probably better than Pitlick.
