Tom Wilson had no impact on this trade.

That's fine with me. Its still funny to think Wilson punched his ticket.

 

[wej20]

That's fine with me. Its still funny to think Wilson punched his ticket.

Unfortunately it was Oleksiak's poor hockey IQ that punched his ticket.

 

[DrJustice]

I humbly offer Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Matt Fraser and Joe Morrow in return for Tyler Seguin.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

frees up 2.1 in cap space for MOAR tradez

Won’t be full 2.1. Cap hit will be prorated for games played.

Schultz will be returning to the lineup soon. There's a bunch of guys Rutherford should try to move, but Oleksiak was the only one without an albatross of a contract.

Unfortunately it was Oleksiak's poor hockey IQ that punched his ticket.

Yup, he was a huuuge liability out there. Plus, Riikola and Pettersson have already passed him on the depth chart.

 

[greasysnapper]

Jim Rutherford does have that I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER look.

Oleksiak's at the point in his career where I think a team should Burns him and take the reigns off and put him up as a Forward.

Dallas Stars are like Walmart, “I’ve had this for 4 months but it’s not really a good fit, I’d like to return it. I still have the receipt.”

 

[Slyfox]

Solid trade. What happens with Carrick now?

Solid trade. What happens with Carrick now?

#7 defender.

Honka likely gets shot into the sun (hopefully for at least an okay-ish asset).

 

[pylon17]

I'm pretty sure he means in terms of hitting and clearing the crease.

Didn’t realize he’s THAT bad. Huh. Gross, then.

 

[Machinehead]

Wait, is this a literal tradeback?

 

[Kcb12345]

Wait, is this a literal tradeback?

Yup. identical trade but reversed

 

[Dr Pepper]

Solid trade. What happens with Carrick now?

I'm not sure if it was answered earlier but I asked what would happen with Carrick's jersey number, since it used to be Oleksiak's.

Maybe they'll RPS for it.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I humbly offer Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Matt Fraser and Joe Morrow in return for Tyler Seguin.

If Boston still had any/all of those pieces, I'd legit be worried right now about exactly that.

 

[Pens x]

Lol it seems like only yesterday Pens’ fans declared this a steal by Rutherford only last year.

Good times

 

[Newsworthy]

Pens wanted a refund on Oleksiak I see. Ugh we need a no returns policy

Lol. They kept the receipt?
This has to be the first time that has ever happened in NHL history.

 

[Newsworthy]

So they basically loaned him

I smell Collusion?

 

[BelovedIsles]

Wasn’t he traded from Dal.?

 

[Klumppa]

Wasn’t he traded from Dal.?

Yup

 

[serp]

Wasn’t he traded from Dal.?

Yes and for the same pick Dallas just send pack to the Pens.

We just cancelled out a trade.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Yes and for the same pick Dallas just send pack to the Pens.

We just cancelled out a trade.

Haha, ok.

 

[T_Cage]

Dallas should trade him back to pit at the deadline for that same pick for the luls...then Pitt trade him back to Dallas at the draft for that 4th rounder
