Montreal is retaining 50%.

Where do we see that?

I like the move. We gain more cap space for a deal for a forward, and we add a solid middle pairing guy to put with Colton.

I know Montreal paid less than us for him, but Botterill is just a bad GM.

 

[ort]

He cost Montreal a 4th rounder like a month ago and now we give up a 2nd?

He's a bottom pairing guy, bleh...

 

[The Note]

It's less acquiring Scandella that I don't like and more tossing away a 2nd on a depth d-man.

 

[Blueston]

I don't mind the player, just the price.

Do we know what the conditions on the 2nd pick are?

In the main trade thread, someone said if we win 2 rounds or extend him.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Meh. Had to do it. Probably would’ve rather chased Dillon, but I’m glad that we got a guy that fits in the mold of our typical defenseman on the left side.

If he's viewed as Parayko's or Petro's partner, then it's not really a depth move. Granted, this could still be a pretty bad deal though, like the Michalek trade years ago.

Is this zbynek michalek vol. 2.0 trade?

At least Scandella is healthy lol.

That’s how it feels. Granted, at least Scandella isn’t already on IR.

I had suggested Scandella a few times but was hoping he would come with Kovalchuk. I'd have been more comfortable giving up the 2nd for both players.

Montreal didn't really need to retain but this gives us the flexibility to add someone else.

On one hand, who cares? We didn't really give up anything.

On the other, if Scandella gets a 2nd, how does DeMelo only get a 3rd? Doesn't that tell you that either Armstrong didn't feel like picking up the phone and talking to Ottawa (why wouldn't you?!) or that he forgot to? Yikes.

I don't care much about the 55th pick in the draft. But it would have been great if we got DeMelo out of it.

Army wanted more size and a lefty, so that meant Scandella over DeMelo. When compared to Dillon, he probably wanted more offensive ability, and Scandella gets a slight edge their.

Why would you want a 5th RHD?

Hard to compare Demelo and Braun/Scandella. I’m assuming they liked Scandellas style of play for what they were looking for more than either of the other two. As much as it may not have mattered I see Demelo being a 6ft 180 righty versus scandella being a 6’3 215 lefty being a large factor in the why there.

What did you want? A Finn? Is one available? Settle down. Also the trade deadline is in 6 days.

 

[MC94]

Do we know what the conditions on the 2nd pick are?

The condition is kn the 4th unfortunetly

He also has to play in more than half of the games during the two rounds...

Yes, sorry if I was unclear. Meant additional pick not 2nd round pick.
