Confirmed with Link: Markus Nutivaara traded to FLA for Cliff Pu

truly hope this is setting up another move tomorrow. Sad that all we could get for Nutti was pooh

"that chick from Ohio"
We just traded one of our more useful depth defensemen for an ECHLer.
I can't say I'm all that happy with the move.

This minuscule return tells me this could’ve been a desperate last minute trade before tomorrow. I just don’t believe nobody would offer a pick for Nuti.
Another theory is that’s a gift for Zito
The more I look at it, I now think we should stay away from him. Signing a 31 year old guy with zero defense at $6.5m for long term could be a recipe for a disaster

Agree agree agree. In what world is Nuti worth only an ECHL/AHL non-prospect. I can't believe nobody was willing to give up even a 6th or 7th for him (even a 2021 pick). The dude is a legit NHL defensemen and a second pairing guy on plenty of teams.
I know Jarmo was looking to clear cap space but...smh.
We're now one Ryan Murray injury away from Scott Harrington playing.
This was a dumb trade. At least get a pick out of him. Good grief.

People still aren’t understanding this was a favor to Zito and maybe even to Nuti (who knows what goes on behind the scenes, and he was going to be passed by Peeke this year, lots of nights in the press box ). If a 6th or a 7th was available I’m sure we could have gotten it. This clearly helps us in a bigger plan. I trust Jarmo.

Screw giving a gift to Zito. Jarmo and JD gave Zito his first gig with an NHL team. He should be giving Jarmo a gift of thanks for helping him become a GM.

Two injuries from Harry: Z/Jones, Gav/Savard, Kukan/Murray and Peeke makes seven. Harry still eight.
Hard to find legit explanation for giving away a potentially top 4 dman for nothing
I love how all of our garbage and healthy scratches are now top 4 D and top line Cs elsewhere
Well, Nuti has played in a top 4 role for us and could be top 4 in teams that lack defensive depth
My thoughts are we all knew we were planning on trading D to improve the forwards right? This shouldn’t be news to anyone....if we are this depressed about Nuti (Ok dman, healthy scratch here) I can’t imagine if Savard went or Murray went...
Yep - folks are tripping over themselves to pencil Wennberg in as their 2C on the mains. Good luck to them and to him!

My man, Harry is already the best he will be. You could say he has already "Peeked". Meanwhile Peeke should only get better. I bet by the middle of next season at the latest Peeke is clearly ahead of Harry...I would not be surprised if it happens in training camp.

Nuti isn't "garbage", he is stuck on a team with Z, Jones, Vlad is Love, Savard and Murray. A log jam of 1s and 2s. MOST teams in the NHL don't have that kind of defensive depth, Nuti was part of a three man rotation on our third pairing but he would possibly be a 2nd pairing or definite 3rd pairing anywhere else.
