Confirmed with Link: Pens acquire Daniel Winnik for Sill, 2016 2nd, 2015 4th (Leafs retain $650k salary)

[Coach Travis]

Sill, 2nd in 2016 and 4th in 2105

Shrewd move. The 2105 draft is gonna be deeeeep.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Too much. Wow

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Wait we traded a 2016 2nd and a 6th for Winnik? Damn that's too much IMO.

That said, he brings size (even if he doesn't use it enough), PK ability, solid defense, and can chip in offensively here and there.

2016 2nd and 2015 4th, plus Sill.

Rutherford will likely make a few moves at the draft to reacquire draft picks. Just watch.

****

 

[ColePens]

People will laugh when Beau's sat or thrown on the 4th line.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I'm not a fan of the price but I'm a fan of half of Sadams being gone.

 

[penguins2946*]

How did Tlusty cost less than Winnik? I'm pissed about this deal

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Instant upgrade, though he seems kind of overrated just because he's a UFA.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I would of been fine with a 3rd and 5th, but a 2nd round pick seems a little bit to much.

 

[billybudd]

Second rounder seems steep to rent Winnik. Better than Sill, but geez.

2016 2nd and 2015 4th, plus Sill.

Rutherford will likely make a few moves at the draft to reacquire draft picks. Just watch.

Hopefully because we don't have a 1st, 3rd, or 4th now.

For those saying "why would Toronto want Sill"? They don't but we needed to move a body for cap space. I'd much preferred Adams to be moved.

 

[turd]

Who cares about draft picks? We want to win now.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Hopefully this moves makes it easier to move Sutter

 

[cheesedanish87]

Leafs retained half his salary.

 

[madinsomniac]

Had to pay a bit more than he is worth to get them to take salary back, IMO

 

[cygnus47]

More than Tlusty went for. Ugh. Still, got rid of Siller.

 

[systemsgo]

I'm jealous at what the Jets got Tlusty for.

 

[Shady Machine]

People will laugh when Beau's sat or thrown on the 4th line.

Yup:

Perron-Crosby-Hornqvist
Kunitz-Malkin-Comeau
Spaling-Sutter-Downie
Winnik-Lapierre-Adams

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Perron-Crosby-Horny
Kunitz-Malkin-Comeau
Winnik-Sutter-Bennett
Spaling-Lapierre-Downie.

Sutter has to go.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

I'm jealous at what the Jets got Tlusty for.

Yeah, I'd rather have Tlusty.

 

[ColePens]

If we are making comments on what went into the trade - we need sources. Please post sources and links.

 

[displacedpensfan]

A 2nd was too much

Especially since we could have had Tlusty for less. I hate that we keep dealing our picks for rentals and then wonder why we have too little talent in the pipeline, especially a marginal guy like Winnik.

 

[Callista Rhian]

Tlusty went for a 3rd and a 5th. Wish we could have done the same... Oh well. At least Sill is gone. Progress!!

 

[Farnham4top6]

WTF!!!
This one of the worst trades JR has ever done, how could Botterill & co let it happen?

 

[pensfan71]

We need to trade a roster player. How does this affect the cap?
