[Yung Rotini]

In exchange for future considerations, via a notification from the NHL app on my phone. Assigned to Stockton (AHL).

Could mean another trade, but probably just means Hiller is out long term and needed a proper AHL backup for Gillies?

I think this is just help for Stockton with Gillies out.

Poulin isn't an upgrade over Ramo or Ortio so I highly doubt it has any NHL implications.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

AHL insurance. I guess it's 7th round pick to TB if Poulin goes through waivers.

Odd, hopefully Gillies isn't out too long.

Both where back-ups for Evgeni Nabokov....

Time to plan the parade after seeing that.

Except Kipper was acquired for a 2nd (San Jose drafted Vlasic)

Edit: Or was that where they were drafted?

You have it correct.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

You have it correct.

I see.

So Poulin, confirmed NHL starter by December?

 

[InfinityIggy]

Nothing would surprise me at this point given our goaltending so far.

 

[Ynnek]

I see.

Maybe he can be our Hamburglar this year. Anything is possible with this team.

Biggest positive from this trade? They didn't actually go grab a mediocre+huge cap hit goaltender that would of required a substantial return to get like most people here would like them to. Don't care otherwise.

Flames play TB today, so lets do a trade with TB..

How many times has that happened?

NYR were playing TB in the conference finals in the spring, so they made a trade.

Treliving and Yzerman must have played a card game for this trade or something.

Early on, he actually looked good with us (NYI). If I remember correctly, he had a bad knee injury and hasn't been the same since.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Depth move to help the Heat
with the Gillies and Hiller injuries. Nothing more. The condition is probably him playing X amount of NHL games.

Almost forgot. Couldn't find a GIF so here's a video

That stat comparison is pretty funny.
