Confirmed with Link: Pens trade Philip Samuelsson to Arizona for Rob Klinkhammer, conditional 2016 pick

It would also depend on who is hot - both players have a history of being somewhat streaky in their efforts, no?

Oh for sure.

After 4 games Klinkhammer seems to be exactly what was advertised.

1 goal
1 assist
+1
17 hits
63.2 Fenwick%
60.9 Corsi %


He is getting a lot of O zone starts but he's been better than anyone had a right to expect on a return for baby Ulf.

This is exactly the type of trade JR has to make. He simply does not have the assets for a blockbuster unless he wants to deplete the pens future.

Klink's been good and will be great in the role he is supposed to play here (4th line) but he's not a solution to the top 6. You can't have Klink-Geno-Comeau long term. Having one bottom 6er flanking Geno is fine, but not 2.

It works as long as Comeau keeps pretending to be a real top six winger but the moment Comeau goes back to being a bottom sixer things could get sad for that line.

Although...Talbot-Malkin-Feds worked okay so you never know.

I'd be more interested in a Farnham - Goc - Downie 4th line. That is just the greatest. We should do that.

Farnham - Vitale - Downie

How I can dream...

hah. that'd be a fun line.

 

[Darth Vitale]

While any trade involving Arizona role players, that does not also involve Victory, is full of disappoint... anything that might eventually relieve us of the hemorrhoid that is Adams, is welcome progress. On these grounds, Corporal Klink is welcome here for the time being.

So the 'Yotes called up P. Samuelsson today. They have 41 games remaining. He'd have to play 40 for us to land that conditional pick.

Let's go Sammy!

Hahaha, Yotes are terrible. They have nothing to play for, so even if he plays 39 games for them, they will scratch him after that. No reason to throw away a pick in a way like that. Would be funny if it happened, though.

What's the condition on the pick again?

 

[Vujtek]

What's the condition on the pick again?

Samuelsson needs to play 40 games for the Coyotes this season for Pens to get the pick.

Samuelsson was healthy scratch last night and Coyotes have 40 games remaining on the season. So from now on he'd have to play in every game for the condition to kick in.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

and what's the pick?

 

[Will Hunting]

and what's the pick?

It´s a 5th rounder, hypothetically.

 

[Vujtek]

and what's the pick?

2016 5th round pick.

Would it be gutsy if Samuelsson was scratched the next five games then played for the rest?
