Confirmed Trade: [FLA/ARZ] Bolland + Crouse for 2nd + 3rd

[Irishguy42]

Seems like fair value for Crouse.

*genuflects to guy in OP*

I stand corrected. It's rare to see actual insiders here.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Coup for Arizona. Wow!

 

[WTFMAN99]

Damn wasn't Crouse projected to go top 5 in the draft at one point? Seems like maybe they could have gotten more for him or just been a little more patient. Is Bolland's contract considered to be that negative in value?

It's top 3-6 bad in the league.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

they are solid, no doubt, but i think they could benefit nicely from another seasoned vet or two.

The Leafs shall be a perf trading partner.

Bon Appetit!

Wow, hats to to Arizona's new GM, he's done an amazing job in just a few months!

Still is Florida that hard up for cap space. You think they could at least get a conditional 1st.

This has been confirmed. Not sure why they deleted the other thread.

Getting rid of Bolland's contract is nothing short of magic by Tallon... even if it meant giving up Crouse. Florida's prospect pool is quite strong so this allows Tallon to dig himself out of his own hole.

This could also imply that the Panthers brass don't value Crouse as much as they once did... and the Coyotes believe he is a formidable prospect and still has potential. I think it was an incredibly smart move by Tallon. Crouse was picked way, way, way too high. I believe he'll ultimately end up being a bottom-6 forward. The offense just isn't there.

A non-committal post from an unverified user on a message board. Yep, that's certainly criteria for a topic on the trade board.

How do you want your crow? Deep fried? Raw? Baked? Boiled?

 

[Mad Brills*]

Dale tallon saved the leafs from bolland.

 

[Shrimper]

Good trade for both teams.

 

[mcpw]

Cue the "CAP CIRCUMVENTION!!1" white knights.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

It's top 3-6 bad in the league.

It is pretty bad I guess. 3 more years at 5.5 mil per.

I went to check General Fanager to see what his contract is like and they already have the trade done. I had to go to AZ's page to see Bolland and Crouse's contracts.

 

[Love]

Lol panthers

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I know Crouse wasn't a crucial piece of FLAs core going forward but I'm really not a fan of Tallon's replacement.

...Craig Custance reports the 2nd is conditional and could be another 3rd

It wasn't magic. He paid through the nose to get rid of that contract. Today is a net loss for the franchise because it cost the panthers their best forward prospect to get rid of a mistake

Conditional 2nd?

Lol

How about you look a few posts above yours, hm?

I've eaten crow a few times and rotisserie is the way to go.

Marchesault

Prospects- unlikely to be traded
Crouse
Hawryluk

Non-core
Shaw
Thornton
Bolland

I'd be shocked if this was a ground breaking trade. But it's August, any roster movement is going to garner discussion.

Wow didn't expect it to be Crouse and Bolland.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Random guess - Yakupov for Crouse

Well. I got 1 player right.

 

[Irishguy42]

This has been confirmed. Not sure why they deleted the other thread.

Yeah not sure why either. Probably because OP didn't post a tweet that "Confirmed" it. I posted one that did, but I guess the mods didn't see it.

I had a gut feeling Bolland was about to get traded. Didn't think it would cost this much though
