Confirmed with Link: Rizzo to Flyers for Kase the younger

[Lempo]

I don’t think so. At the same time we likely just completed the real trade after the league nixed it for cap circumvention. We had to renege on trade after signing our UFAs because we didn’t have enough space to gain cap throughout the season. So we finished the trade later after the buyout but not too close to the buyout.

Since we just discussed watched star wars movies. The whole star wars episode 6 thing.

Luke: Vader’s on that ship. Im compromising the mission.

Han: in case they don’t go for this we have to get out of here in hurry. Chewie keep your distance without looking like you’re keeping your distance.

Chewie: mumble noises

Han: i dont know, fly casual.

We had to trade casually here.

YOU'RE TAKING IT OUT OF CONTEXT.

I believe the full quote was "eat jo mamma"

 

[SvechneJerk]

Yea, that's basically what we're doing. The thing with TDA somehow bombed out weird, we're saying "sorry" by giving them Rizzo (who we were originally going to trade) and a 5th. Kase is a non-entity in this case and is basically just freeing up a contract spot for them most likely. Whatever, it's helping build some goodwill so if the Flyers are out at TDL they might be willing to work with us on a playoff-push deal or something.

Now trade for Konecny, you pansies!!!!!

 

[Francis10]

You got to think this is setting up a good relationship between Briere and Donny come trade deadline time.

“Hey Danny, remember that time I did that solid for you and made that trade with you I didn’t really have to do on August 9th? How about we talk about Konecny coming to the Canes?”

 

[sheriff bart]

This makes so much sense. Canes have extra Kase jersey name plates on hand. Probably don't have many extra Z's for the Rizzo's.

Dundon so cheap

Pennies still have value

When the US eliminated the half penny, it was worth what a dime is worth today.

So no, not really.

 

[bleedgreen]

Based on how we do business I’m guessing we had no intention of having Rizzo as a prospect or he was really low on the priority list. Based on his size and skating this isn’t a huge surprise. Seems like this was one big transaction and we had to pay something.

If it was a prospect that was in the plans long term he wouldn’t be available for this.

The Canes are legitimately a good organization to do something like this for Briere and Rizzo. It would've been the shitty thing to do to not complete the DeAngelo trade, so they effectively did this and completed the transaction. Because of how horrendous the Flyers are going to be for the next few seasons, Rizzo will have a genuine shot at becoming an NHL player in that organization. I wish him the best of luck in those endeavors.

There are some people on the website formerly known as twitter who are seriously pissed off about this. Its amusing to watch

Is it wrong of me to consider this a bonus?

This does feel like keeping the lines of friendly communication open. I could see us looking at Frost, Konecny, or even Tippit (not gonna happen). I just don't know who or what we'd move to get there.

Not at all

A Z is basically a sideways N and those are pretty standard. We could’ve made this work.

Henry Kase always said David is the best of the brothers so I’m excited to see what he can do in a canes jersey.

Will he play on a line with the best Staal?

I totally understand taking care of the Flyers on the back-end after Betteman's hubris derailed the original trade...but the 5th round pick is dumb.

That was actually a misquote, he was really talking about their other brother Tomas.

It’s a 5th - in 2025. It’s not like we’re not going to add 8 picks between now & then. It’s nothing more than some good will. You never know how that might pay off in the future.

No, I get it. It's just a 5th and I do appreciate the good will part of deal making.

But this team seems to place a lot of stock in amassing those type of picks, so, you know...

 

[HisIceness]

Didn't know there was a David Kase, now I do.
