Hemsky went for the same price...

With how cheap Gaborik and Hemsky went for, I sure hope Shero has something bigger than Goc lined up (Vanek/Kesler).

Rock solid player.

 

[Common Sense]

Opens things up for a Sutter trade, no?

 

[Sotty]

Solid trade. Goc has always been pretty underrated. He will be a great help for the 3rd and 4th line.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

I like it.

 

[alcanalz]

Perfect kind of bottom-sixer we need. Although Panthers' fans say his play has been inconsistent this year, he was terrific last.

Definitely happy with this for minimal cost.

 

[SEALBound]

Much needed. Will add a lot to the 3rd line. Wonder if that means Sutter is more likely to go...

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Love it!

 

[CraigAdamsnumber1fan*]

Like this trade a lotttttt. Our bottom 6 gets a lot better.

 

[Vegeta]

Love this.

 

[td_ice]

Wow, a lot of people here mentioned getting him, (in possible junction with getting Kesler).

Good call board.

 

[PensFanSince1989]

New 3rd line center for after we trade Sutter for a Winger? Please?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Hope it's a precursor to another deal (ie. moving Sutter as part of a Kesler deal). In a vacuum, I'd have rather paid that same price to land Hemsky.

 

[Shrimper]

Any idea what year the picks are?

 

[Stad]

Awesome! Goc is very underrated.

 

[Bishop7979]

Great, was one of the players I really wanted to add to the third line!

Looks like Sutter is on the move now, RS prob wanted to make sure he had a replacement for that third line spot before moving him.

 

[Waffle Fries]

The third is in 2015, 5th is this year.

 

[alcanalz]

I don't see this move solely as a Sutter replacement. Could just be some bottom six help, which we definitely need.

 

[ThatGuy]

great trade

 

[Gurglesons]

Let's not forget he is only 30. If we get Kesler for a Sutter package, we could sign Goc on a low cap hit and have the option of Kesler being our 3rd line center or first line RW. SICK.

 

[wej20]

Could be to play on the 3rd line with Sutter.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

You would have to think Shero knows he's the frontrunner on Kesler, he doesn't make that move if he doesn't think we can get him.

 

[Til the End of Time]

You would have to think Shero knows he's the frontrunner on Kesler, he doesn't make that move if he doesn't think we can get him.

shero made space for parise before hearing any indication that he was interested in pittsburgh, so he's been known to jump the gun.

 

[Shrimper]

Picks as I guessed. 3rd this year is rumoured to be for a Kesler deal as has been mentioned.
