[Nugey McNugeson]

Don't really understand why

 

[The Bored Man]

Noooo Gordon

So much for good centre depth.

 

[Psychoil]

Something else coming down the pipe I assume money wise

 

[sepHF]

Makes sense considering the logjam at center but I'll miss Gordon. Guy is an absolute warrior.

 

[Crabapple]

Ugh. Why?

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Hmm...

 

[oiler4ever]

Gordon for Korpikoski

there goes our lone right hand centre man

 

[SK13]

2.5M x 2 for Korp.

Worse cap position, worse player, worse team.

**** Peter Chiarelli.

 

[doulos]

Korpikoski is less of a player, making more salary. Ugly trade.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

I don't understand this.

 

[Timo]

I really liked Gordon, but I'll assess this further upon seeing the move made in conjunction to this one.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

This has to be a precursor to something else. Or they are ready to role RNH, McDavid, Draisaitl, Lander.

Is Korpikoski a third liner?

 

[McOilbleeder]

Unless we have a replacement lined up, we're going awfully young at C next season.

Letestu incoming?

 

[Philly85*]

****ing stupid.

 

[Connor McSaviour]

Lol. Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Who can take face-offs on this team now

 

[Nugey McNugeson]

Something else coming down the pipe I assume money wise

This would seem like the only justification for trading a defensive player like Gordon away from a team like ours

 

[OnTheBrink]

This better be the precursor to something else.... Otherwise am I the only one wondering if MacT wouldn't have had a better summer so far?

 

[rasarhdasd]

I'm guessing they sign Letestu/Brdoziak.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Lol. Brutal. Absolutely brutal. Who can take face-offs on this team now

Lander ain't bad... :/

 

[McDeepika]

Why downgrade the team for 0.5 mill in cap savings?

 

[KMart27]

Don't like it at all.

 

[Young Lions*]

What the hell? Why?

 

[SK13]

This better be the precursor to something else.... Otherwise am I the only one wondering if MacT wouldn't have had a better summer so far?

Ignore McDavid for now, which had nothing to do with Chiarelli.

Both MacT's offseasons were better. Both of them.

 

[s7ark]

I don't get this move at all. There must be another shoes that is going to drop. I know we need a 3rd line winger, but there are UFA options
