We gave up a prospect (who already left org once)
Imagine if we just kept him and flipped NY the bird (I know Kane has a NMC…)
You’re allowed to put conditions on guys who aren’t even on your team? Huh?
Or is it the 4th we get unless the conditions are met?So we got the Rangers 3rd.
If the conditions are met for NYR to get the DAL 3rd then we get the better of the 3rds.
Am I right?
Or is it the 4th we get unless the conditions are met?
A 3rd, even in 2025 is more than typical for this amount of cash retention on Kane. Historically it would be a 5th.
Waiting to see the full trade details if Arizona is including some small asset to bump up the return, like Minnesota did with O'Reilly and Orlov.
There's also the wrinkle that the Ranger's 4th round picks are likely encumbered until 2026. So getting a 4th for the retention was off the table.
He wasn’t great for us in A years ago. Has apparently taken a step forward overseas. What is he though? Good AHLer now or bottom pairing D? Not a BA asset so just get a pick.Quoting myself: so Arizona did include an asset in the trade: RFA rights to Vili Saarijarvi going to Chicago.
I don’t know what his rights might be valued at? He‘s not signed to a contract—so including him isn’t freeing up one of the 50 contract slots. Apparently Chicago must have placed some value on him.
Clear as mud….
It looks like they gave him a beer gut!
