People saying 4th rd pick.
Damn it. It's a 3rd.

 

[DoktorZaius]

For Cole straight up, or with a tiny % retained would be a good move IMO.

 

[JakeNBake59]

ummm

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

We gave up a 3rd round pick per Bob MacKenzie

 

[Kristopher Letang]

We gave a 3rd, ****KK

 

[Shrimper]

A 3rd round, that's all. I'm fine with that.

Would mean that maybe Cole has to be moved?

 

[66-30-33]

A 3rd for a ****** dman....

 

[Contender]

It's sounding like a third round pick, eh.

 

[deakka]

3rd rounder. Probably need to be more for cap reasons too right?

 

[flaneur]

bob mckenzie says it is a 3rd round pick

 

[Zirakzigil]

Meh.... Salary must have been retained. I'm fine with a 3rd.

 

[Black Label]

What a ****ing joke.

 

[OnMyOwn]

a third isn't bad really.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

We gave up a third rounder for this ******* AND we have Carl Hagelin under contract for three more years? KILL ME NOW.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Only a 3rd.

It isn't horrible if that's all. But that means we are really tight to the cap

Letang
Maatta
Dumo
Daley
Lovejoy
Cole
Shultz
Pouliot...

 

[philchaka]

Third round pick is interesting... I don't really have feelings one way or the other about this.

A lot of talent there, I guess.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Are they retaining? We have no room. Ugh

 

[billybudd]

People around here will hate him, but this is a good buy-low project.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I mean, is he better than Cole? He has to be, right?

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

How are we doing on cap space?

Schultz makes 3.9m this year.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Seriously. It's like running backs with the Steelers.

I could understand if we had picked up some plodding defensive d, but we're playing an uptempo system that's tailor-made for skilled defensemen. If a talented but flawed d is going to turn his game around anywhere, it's here.

Well worth taking a flier on if the price is right.

 

[DoktorZaius]

We gave up a third rounder for this ******* AND we have Carl Hagelin under contract for three more years? KILL ME NOW.

Wait, is this a troll post? Or are people actually still upset about Hagelin?

 

[bambamcam4ever]

About three rounds too high. Why would a playoff team want one of EDM's worst Dmen?

 

[Koempel]

We gave up a third rounder for this ******* AND we have Carl Hagelin under contract for three more years? KILL ME NOW.

Perfect time to criticise the Hagelin deal, he was really horrible against the Jets.
