Vrana trade continues to get better for Detroit

 

[Viqsi]

well that was sudden

 

[K Fleur]

Nice for Detroit. Panik sucks.

 

[Foppberg]

Wow. Great for the Islanders.

 

[Go Wings]

Love it from the Wings perspective.

 

[Deku]

Surprised they took back money

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Wonder if they flip him after expansion draft with retention for picks.

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

What the huh?? Why would the Islanders take Panik

Edit: Nvm Panik at 50% is solid, good trade for the Islanders

 

[JoemAvs]

Yeah I think I like this for the Islanders quite a bit more than for the Wings.
Lou working his magic.

not sure what Yzerman was thinking with this one. Getting a 2nd for Leddy was great value for the Isles

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Smart.

Leddy costs a lot in dollars, but he's solid. Detroit can afford to keep him. High salary (7M next season), cut down what the Islanders could ahve gotten for him otherwise.

Detroit can always flip him at the deadline (and possible recoup more than a 2nd) if they can't re-sign him.

 

[Treb]

I assume they'll move him sometime between the ED and TDL?

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Sucks to lose Leddy, but I understand why it needed to happen and happy to get a second out of a player we pretty much had to trade.

Maybe we can bundle this second, the Colorado second and a little extra to trade up to the late first round. Our farm could use a new first round talent.

Solid deal for both Leddy still is a capable defender,and he can bridge some of their kids...NYI gain some flexibility

This is not Ronnie's week.

Why do the Isles do this? Isn't the whole point of moving Leddy to gain cap space?

edit: I get it guys I missed the part about retention

 

[Dr Quincy]

Works for both teams.

He'll definitely help the young Detroit players produce on ice. They were second to last in goals for. Leddy is going to help them improve that big time.

That was an expansion issue too

 

[BurntToast]

All the young teams are bolstering their defenses.

Leddy gets at least a 2nd at the trade deadline. Good on SY for getting a legit upgrade to insulate the kids.

seems like everyone is calling his bluff on the price of side deals. probably a better blackjack guy
than a poker player.
