Confirmed with Link: Connolly, Riley Stillman and Henrik Borgstrom plus a 7th Rd pick in exchange for Carlsson/Wallmark

[violaswallet]

As I heard, Borgstrom gone.

Good deal. Unfortunate it had to be made because of past mistakes.

I put Borgstrom at a second. No future heee and this helps us add bigger pieces long term

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

My guess is he doesn’t have the value right now that we think he does. It’s a shame because we could’ve had McDonagh for him a couple years ago and Dale said no.

Do you think this is clearing the path for a bigger trade or Viola asking Zito if he can make it so he doesn't have to sign Conman's checks?

 

[iam76]

or stone?

god this trade is blah..

sorry wallmark it didnt work the first time.. Is he the new vinnie hinestroza"?

 

[Gentle Man]

Looks like Zito is clearing cap for something big.

Yep.

A big *sigh* from everyone after everyone get underwhelmed

 

[Chaos2k7]

Anyone know Carlsson?

Luostarinen out as 3rd line C?

 

[FlaPanthers11]

As someone who has always been much lower on Borg than consensus, I think this is a pretty nothing deal that drops a bad contract

Probably both. I can imagine Zito didn’t want Connolly on the books either.

Laine to Florida, understood

I’m the biggest Borg fan on this board and people are actually complaining about this? Lol. Zito did a great job begetting rid of Mr.3.5 useless mil. Borg had no place in this organization with Lundell. He’s a 24 year old who is starting to run out of time. We saved cap and we’re clearing our bad contracts. Zito is doing an amazing job.

So it looks like you still have sources eh?

Decent AHL player, could be a 6-7 guy.

 

[Chessarmy]

Panthers legend Lucas Wallmark coming back home. Welcome back!

 

[JEFFREY87]

Borgstrom was a bust, Stillman was a 6th d at best and connolly has devloped hands of stone, scotty gomez style. Adios!

 

[ChiHawk21]

Carlsson is solid. Someone Q knows. Looks like you guys must just be clearing cap for something bigger? Hows borq been?

 

[jonu]

Starting to smell like Ristolainen to me with this cap clearing

If Q can Forsling him I like it.

 

[Ghoste]

What’s our cap space at now?

-ghoste

 

[iam76]

borg is a skilled forward that should make it but he isnt a bottom 6 player...

 

[FinlandPanther]

Playing in Liiga. Playing pretty well but the hype from him has certainly fallen off. He was arguably our best prospect at one point. I think being with Kane would do him well though.

 

[FrolikFan67]

I am ecstatic about this! Legitimately. I was up late last night crunching buyouts and retentions, seeing how much dead cap we’d have. He was able to trade connolly who not only has one, but two more years and at 3.5per....he trades him for a player thats an upcoming rfa? I could careless about wallmark but that is fantastic for us! Literally dumped his contract just in exchange for stillman and borg, and I’m sorry, I like stillman but he was never going to be a full timer here. Same with borg. I do that trade all day. Huge getting that contract off the books. Zito at it again!

Underwheming in the AHL/NHL but having a better year in the Liiga

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Not losing any major picks to dump Connolly is a plus at least.

Had the space before Ekblad was hurt. This is much more than Risto space.
