[masinaLFC]

yeah okay... nobody is gonna miss Oduya anyway

 

[Morry83]

Just meh

Pick is 2018. Condition is Chicago winning two rounds and Oduya playing 50% of their games.

We're retaining 50%, as well.

 

[LT]

So we'll be hoping for an Anaheim-Chicago WCF.

Ew.

 

[txomisc]

really didnt think oduya was worth much and i guess he wasnt

 

[Mr Misty]

His injury really hurt us. Healthy Oduya is worth a 2 and a 3 easy.

 

[Dallasman]

I think we are done now.

 

[OttMorrow]

WAY under what I'd have thought we'd get for Oduya. Oduya for FREE!! haha

Well...The logjam is loosening!!

 

[OttMorrow]

I think we are done now.

I hope we're not, but we probably are.

 

[Hockey Dad]

I could still see a team make a play for Sharp. Depending on what nagging injury is.

 

[WhoahNow]

I feel like the Stars are super loyal to their vets so let them go to teams they want to be traded to.

Also one thing to keep in mind is that since this year's draft is rather weak, a 4th for next year is probably better than a 4th for this year.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Maybe there wasn't much interest in Oduya

35 year old Dmen with a bum ankle and a pending UFA usually don't get much back.

Timonen missed like the whole year and got a 2nd. Makes you think.

I really liked the scouting report on Mark McNeill the year he got drafted.

He's got better stats than Gemel Smith in the AHL this year, so perhaps he can give him a run for his money to crack the lower lines next season in Dallas. Both are right-shot centers.

Big, physical, Center...over a PPG and 2 30+ goal seasons in the WHL. I think he was a Captain as well.

I'm pretty happy to have picked him up.

Agreed... he's a former first round pick

Seems to have fallen off, but maybe he can still have a career as a bottom 6. Hopefully a fresh start in Texas helps

I guess the 2018 4th is now the currency of choice for defensemen.
