Conditional pick it seems.

 

[sticknpuck]

Watching NHLN and see this. Wow

 

[DaveG]

so what's the conditional pick, and what's the condition on the pick?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Does that mean you guys are trading me to the Pens board too?

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!

 

[tarheelhockey]

Conditional pick = probably nothing

We basically gave him away and kept some salary to boot. There must not have been anything on the table for him.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Round of pick probably dependent upon Pens playoffs run, etc.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Good luck in Pittsburgh, Juice.

That's one player off the books...

Edit: But not really off the books

 

[Lucky Lindy]

So, Chad, Corvo and McBain soon?

 

[StormCast]

so what's the conditional pick, and what's the condition on the pick?

My understanding is that he needs to exceed Boychuk's totals while in Pittsburgh. Could be close that he surpasses the modern era Mendoza line.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Is this the first deal where a team takes salary back? Hopefully Jimmy didn't get too generous.

Yup. Contact a Pens board mod with your particulars so they'll have everything ready for your arrival. Enjoy playoff hockey, you lucky *******.

Penguins are trying to win the Cup by acquiring every player ever so there's nobody left to play against.

I'm starting to believe this is the case.

Sad to see the Juice go, I like him.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Anybody got the Pens cap numbers? Are they close?


$3.6 million below the cap, before today. They can't do much more.

Jussi who?

Knowing JR we probably kept more salary than gave away.

 

[tarheelhockey]

No, Toronto ate some salary in the Lombardi trade a few months ago.

 

[What the Faulk]

Knowing JR we probably kept more salary than gave away.

Considering you can't keep more than 50% of a player's salary, I'd say you're wrong.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

The pick is a 6th or 7th rounder.

 

[DaveG]

yep, now the question is just how much of Jussi's salary we're eating. Anything 1 million or under is fine by me.

If Jokinen plays 25 per cent of PIT 2013 playoff games AND PIT goes to Cup final, CAR gets 7th round pick from PIT.

If Jokinen plays 50 per cent of PIT 2013 playoff games AND PIT wins the CUP, CAR gets a 6th round pick from PIT


so a pretty ****** trade in terms of how likely it is we end up with anything out of this.

He'll find a way..

 

[LadyCane]

A 6th or 7th?

Is that the best we could do?

 

[What the Faulk]

6th if Pittsburgh wins the cup and Jokinen plays in >50% of their playoff games. Otherwise it's 7th. I hope it's a 7th.
