I think my favorite moment of the season is them rushing to Pittsburgh after the trade and just barely making it on the ice.
But you have 45 games in Fla vs 45 in PA, or worse, 50 in NY/NJ
8% can be a lot. You figure if it's a star making around $7m that's $500,000. Over a 5 year contract, that's an extra $2.5m.It's at most a difference of 8%. The difference between PA and Florida is about 3% and NY and Florida is about 8.5%.

the thread was made less then 10 days ago,
but now "we can't hold a lead with the goalie pulled"
such short memories. lol
I know that the politically correct thing to say is that this trade was a "win win" scenario. But screw that, Florida sucks at talent evaluation and the Pens stole this guy. Amazing.
Nice work JR.
VAN gave up on him first...for Gudbranson lol
So two teams didn't like him.
Florida traded a young cost controlled semi skilled player....for draft picks...
So that they could hope to find another young cost controlled semi skilled player? And that shows they liked him?
Hmm.
They traded a young cost controlled semi-skilled player for 5m+ in cap space and draft picks.

Florida liked him. They just had a lot of forwards and liked moving Bjugstad more. I don't know about Vancouver, but they clearly liked Gudbranson a lot.
"What do you think about being drafted by Vancouver?!"
"It is what it is"
Yes, that was the theory at the time. Hope he turns into a gamer for you guys. Guddy too.Kind of a crazy thing to say. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt given he was being interviewed on live team just moments after being drafted. Expected himself to go earlier possibly? TSN had him ranked 16th so 24th isn't exactly late compared to that.
