Confirmed Trade: [PIT/OTT] Stefan Elliott and Tobias Lindberg for Macoy Erkamps and Ben Sexton

[The Great Weal]

Without looking at OP, I would have a 50/50 chance of guessing which team got which 2 players.

 

[Soundgarden]

Wow, Stefan Elliot. I haven't heard that name in ages.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Ben Sexton's father Randy was one of the founders of the Ottawa Senators. He was one of the team's early General Mangers and is now an AGM in Buffalo. He played 2 NHL games last season. I won't pretend to know anything about how good he is, but given his resume, I'm guessing he's a solid AHL pro who might get a game or two in the NHL if enough injuries pile up, but doesn't have upside as a full time NHLer. The only reason his name sticks out to me as a member of our farm team is because of his family's historical connection to the Senators.

Sexton has been playing wing this off-season, he did post the best p/g total on Belleville last season, though. He was 11 points off of the team lead despite missing 46 games. Solid top 6er in the AHLer.

There was a time quite a few Avs fans were more excited about Elliott than Barrie

... I don’t know anything about anyone in this trade. Are we sure all four guys aren’t made up?

Lindberg was a part of the Phaneuf to Ottawa trade with the Leafs. The fact he now came full circle is top end news

 

[613Leafer]

So Sens get Lindberg back lol? He was a supposed main piece from the Phaneuf trade lol.

Nah, the main piece in the Phaneuf trade was not having Phaneuf. There was a 2nd rounder for the Leafs too, but the not-Phaneuf was key.

That’s definitely the real Macoy

Think he'll be wing here for WBS, especially after they reclaimed JS Dea,

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Pens clearing a roster spot in WBS for Riikola?

Did anyone else hear it?

 

[Duck Off]

Normally 4 player deals excite me, but this one... does not

 

[BlueDream]

Pittsburgh sure is busy. I'm not sure what this trade accomplishes but JR is active at least lol.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Who? Who? Who? and Who?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Elliott is the D with a huge shot who sucks at everything else... right?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Who? Who? Who? and Who?

There isn't even a thread on our board about this trade.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I see the Leafs pulling this sort of deal off in the near future.

Not that it matters, but Randy was also the director of amateur scouting for the Pens.

I'm always curious how GMs start discussing a deal like this.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Ey, minor. I'm out.

 

[Sparksrus3]

I've heard of Lindberg and Elliot,

Aren't they those Mesothelioma lawyers on the tv commercials

 

[TheGhost]

I'm always curious how GMs start discussing a deal like this.

“Hey Pierre, wanna give some random idiots on the internet something to talk about for about five minutes?”

 

[CodeE]

Macoy Erkamps sounds like a name that comes from a random name generator.

Macoy Erkamps sounds like two pokemon battling

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Was my joke about this being the precursor to the Phil Kessel trade seriously deleted?

What the f***? I guess these boards are meant for serious discussions. So, let's discuss the latest legit Eklund trade rumors...

 

[McDrailers]

This is basically a four way future considerations trade, but hey never gets old seeing the red trade confirmed

 

[Man Bear Pig]

So Sens get Lindberg back lol? He was a supposed main piece from the Phaneuf trade lol.

That's not really saying much. Dumping Dion and not having to take back long term contracts was the goal. Lindberg was an okay prospect but never was anything special.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Stefan Elliott- the reason the Avs thought Shattenkirk was expendable.

I had Elliott in my keeper pool. I remember moving him as a main piece in a Subban trade. Good times
