Beat me to it. Had the thread up and everything. But can't have them all right?

I am really interested in seeing what the return is...

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

As I said on the main board: I wanted Fasth even before Anaheim signed him. Super happy, but interested to see what it cost.

 

[czar99]

I like this

 

[Oilception]

What do you think we have up??

 

[Debonair]

yeah... I'm not super excited about this. Depends on the cost.

 

[dustrock]

As I said in the proposal thread, good shot in the dark.

His recent numbers aren't great, but he started with a bang in the NHL and had great SEL numbers.

One more year at $2.9 million isn't a handicap. Well done Mac T.

 

[tv14]

Wow. Love the moves so far MacT!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

With the Ducks moving Penner maybe they take someone like Lander or Arcobello back. Cheap body that can play 6-8 min in the NHL right now.

 

[misfit]

Fasth is a sub .900 SV% goalie taking up $2.9M in cap space on a team that has two of the top goalie prospects in the world and Hiller as their #1.

I would hope that we're getting some compensation for allowing the Ducks to shed that contract from their books, and that it's not a situation where we're giving up real assets for a goalie we think is going to play a big role for us.

We don't know what the Oilers gave up yet.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

That's some really shockingly reasonable goaltending pricing.

Agree completely. Almost feel like we should be getting something back for this... I doubt that happens though.

 

[Bauer83]

Like the move, as I preferred his mechanics to Dubnyk. Agree though with others that I only like the deal if the cost is low, as it essentially is helping the ducks out.

I hope Arcobello. Give Lander a chance guys.

 

[Digger12]

I'm (perhaps unjustifiably so) terrified at what we gave up for this.

Please nothing good, please nothing good, please nothing good...

Ding ding ding ding ding.

We don't know what the Oilers gave up yet.

The Minnesota 4th maybe?

 

[OiledUp]

I wanted us to go after him as a free agent when Ducks signed him. Great goalie with the ability to take a team on his back and run with it, injuries are a concern though but imo worth the shot unless the price is to high.

 

[tv14]

We don't know what the Oilers gave up yet.

Obviously assuming its fair value. Something similar to the Scrivens/Bryz deals I would assume..

 

[Oilception]

The Minnesota 4th maybe?

Fasth > Bryzgalov so if it was just the 4th wouldn't Minnesota have just gone for Fasth?

 

[Moose Coleman]

@Real_ESPNLeBrun
I believe Anaheim got two mid-round picks for Fasth from Edmonton... but waiting to confirm that

Is he?

 

[McDNicks17]

Eric Stephens ‏@icemancometh 52s
Ducks will get two mid-round picks from Edmonton in Fasth deal. Not sure on specifics.

 

[Debonair]

as per Lebrun two mid round picks. If its the 4th and another 5th that's not bad value.
