If there isn’t salary retention and picks I am going to cry

 

[Mobiandi]

No. No f***ing way. Absolutely no f***ing way.

nonononononononono please no

Looks like there's both, but 10% retention and 7th round pick, for example, is nowhere near enough.

I'm scared, but I'm hoping for the best

 

[doorbag]

We have to be retaining at least 2m on this. I have no idea why you guys would make this trade. Holy crap.

 

[DCDM]

I'm not gonna overreact because I feel like this is a precursor to something else. This can't be all there is to it.

If there aren’t some significant sweeteners and this is a knee jerk “gotta be tougher for playoffs” move I’m going to lose my s***

 

[Mobiandi]

mfw Lucic bidding war

 

[Mazatt]

What the f*** Brad

 

[FlamerForLife]

Retain some salary, throw in puljujarvi and give us a pick. I'll wait till the full details come out but as of now I'm not a fan

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Let the hate flow through us.

 

[nuck]

Done with a pick and retention by the Oilers.

 

[DCDM]

Waiting for more details

such as the incoming 1st rounder + Pool party

 

[crackdown44]

I need details that favor us and/or an oxygen mask and some Valium

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Treliving needs to go if this is one for one. Insanity.

 

[Mobiandi]

Why would we let our rivals off the hook for the worst contract in the league? Even if our return is digestible, it automatically opens up the possibility that the Oilers get better.

Neal must've seriously pissed off Peters and Treliving last year.

 

[Potty John]

I am in shock, what the actual

 

[Mobiandi]

rumour has it that the Oilers have retained 10%

 

[Beavski24]

This is a win for Calgary! Makes them tough af

 

[Kahvi]

Looks like it's Lucic (xx% retention) + pick for Neal. Could be ok, could be really bad.

If Lucic waiving his NMC means Flames do not have to honor that (expansion draft or whatever) it's a bit easier to accept

 

[FlamerForLife]

1 for 1 plus a conditional pick and retention

 

[super6646]

Neal’s bouncing back lmfao.

Great job Treliving. f*** this shit. Makes less money = ownership happy.

agree. this kind of trade does not happen often, and now its long time rivals. WTF Tre? (until we get details)

Not exactly. He can waive the nmc to ok the trade if Calgary agrees to honour his nmc going forward.

Guys like Phaneuf who had full ntc and waives still maintained it afterwards.

They generally keep them after getting traded otherwise they do not agree to be traded.
