That Vrana trade keeps getting better for Detroit

 

[The Wahligator]

Boom!

 

[Lame Lambert]

 

[PWJunior]

Wow, it finally happened!

Now time to unload Eberle.

 

[PK Cronin]

That's a $1.38M cap hit for Panik.

 

[The Wahligator]

That’s a win for us

 

[PK Cronin]

Will Panik replace Komarov now?

 

[Le Grec]

Love it...

 

[PWJunior]

That’s a win for us

Sign Suter to replace Leddy and that's a huge win for us.

 

[YearlyLottery]

Is Richard Panik any good?

 

[Taswell]

I'm...very satisfied with that. Well done Lou.

 

[crashthenet]

Not a fan of Panik

 

[Instant]

Oh wow. I honestly didn't think that will happen. Some Lou magic right here.

 

[PK Cronin]

Is Richard Panik any good?

Not really. A serviceable bottom 6 guy I guess.

 

[Islesfan22]

Is Richard Panik any good?

No but they get a good pick and save a lot of money on up the cap so a good trade for Lou

 

[Lame Lambert]

Have to imagine this is the first of many dominos to fall

 

[YearlyLottery]

We have a hole on defense now. Have to hope they get Suter.

 

[TeamKidd]

I'll take that and a bag of chips
Well done. Hopefully Eberle is next

 

[Lame Lambert]

We have a hole on defense now. Have to hope they get Suter.

I will be so pumped if we get Suter.

 

[scott99]

So now we have two 2nd round picks. Wonder if one will be used to entice a team to take one of the Isles bad contracts.

 

[Foppberg]

Suter would be ideal. Perfect considering who's available.

Or Hamilton

 

[PK Cronin]

Panik is a cheaper Komarov I think, less annoying probably, but also probably a touch more skilled. Career 20 point guy who PKs.

 

[Not4u]

Panik will look great in Bridgeport where we can bury most of his cap hit.
Great trade by Lou...we get a 2nd and deleted most of Leddys cap hit.

 

[SI90]

It had to be done. I’m glad Lou did it. 1 year left of Leddy + expansion + salary relief.

all things considered I’m happy to get a 2nd. Panik well see what happens but I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s not on the team for long.
