How can they trade a 2019 second???
San Jose's own 2019 2nd will go to Buffalo if San Jose misses the 2019 playoffs again, unlikely, but technically still possible, and San Jose is supposed to respect that condition...
And on top of that, Ottawa will get the higher of San Jose or Florida's 2019 2nds (which, until Florida mathematically cannot surpass San Jose, San Jose is supposed to, again, keep the picks available).
(Ottawa agreed to their conditional deal knowing it was potentially tied up in the Buffalo deal and they may be limited to just Florida's pick as the option.)
There has to be an additional condition on that, bc technically, San Jose still could end up with no 2nd to give Detroit...
I think I am going insane from this deadline
Lol 30% retention and still didn't get a first?
Sure to ruffle some red wing fan feathers who felt he was justifiably worth a 1st on his own merit
Doug Wilson has jedi mind powers. That's the only logical explanation for how he keeps doing this sort of thing.
You'd think by now other GMs would stop answering the phone when his name comes up. That is unless his caller ID reads "Willy's Pizza and Wings."
Not sure why DET is still trying to pick up 2nds.
Don't need any more middle 6 forwards or bottom 4 defenders.
It is about the same. Dallas has very low chance of making it to the 3rd round, which means great chance the one pick is a 2nd, and no guarantee Zucc is resigned by Dallas, especially now that he may be out a month, which could hurt Dallas's chances. More than likely it ends up as a 2nd and a 3rd, and we get a 2nd for Nyquist, and a chance at a 3rd.

Careful, don't want you hurt your arm patting your back too hard. It's a good deal, but not earth-shattering... and certainly not 'fleecing'.
Nyquist was probably sent there talk up Detroit to Erik Karlsson and make him want to sign with Detroit.
Massive W for the Sharks here.
Surprised no one else could beat that. Bruins were low balling the Red Wings then
The end results of the trade likely end up being the same but the conditions are at least a higher payout for Zucc
That's the only interpretation that makes sense.From what I can tell, the Kane trade became a 1st rounder in 2019 or 2020 (if they miss, which they won't) once Kane re-signed. If he hadn't, then it would have been their 2nd in 2019.
The news coming out on both Jensen and Nyquist's contract requests and the Wings not being willing to meet them has had me sort of fascinated. Neither guys request was really unreasonable and you certainly feel like there was room to negotiate there. But they are going to have a ton of cap space, should the lottery smile on them, I think they are getting ready to get aggressive in free agency.
We hoped for more, but just as important when we evaluate things is we are flipping the page and freeing up spots for other guys to assume bigger roles. It is a part of the rebuilding process, they were moving on from Nyquist they got what they could, I wish it could have been better, but hey that appears to be the market this year unfortunately.
Think of those future middle 6 guys as ammo for future quantity for quality dealsNot sure why DET is still trying to pick up 2nds.

Uh trading up with later picks doesn't jump you up the trade board. If anything it's a few spotsHopefully it’s used to trade up or imo should be used to get some solid cost controlled mid 20’s players who are on the outs due to cap restrictions
What's up with this idea in hockey that people from the same country have like this secret club?Careful, don't want you hurt your arm patting your back too hard. It's a good deal, but not earth-shattering... and certainly not 'fleecing'.

Well, it's a good thing I never actually used the word "fleecing" or anything of the sort.
Good for the Sharks. What happened to Holland standing firm on a first?
