Confirmed with Link: Ryan Ellis traded to PHI. Preds get Myers from PHI and Glass from VGK

[LeighDx59]

I wanted nothing to do with Patrick with all his issues, so I'm pretty stoked.

Yeah his migraine issues wouldve been an issue for sure. I am glad we ended up with Glass, hopefully he can turn into a top six guy.

Ellis had issues playing within the system after his return from injury. That signaled the closure of his time in Nashville.

 

[Viqsi]

Does anyone dislike this trade?? This is fantastic!’
!

My only regret is that that eliminates Ellis from being a backup trade option for the Jackets. But, enh, the scenario that would require was an unlikely one anyways.

Well, okay, that and he's in-division again. And I'll miss him like I will Arvy.

 

[BigFatCat999]

HOLY f***ING HELL YES that is a return and a half

My internet went out JUST as this was happening. *runs around like he's on fire*

I'm happy with the deal. I'm worried about Glass developing but hoping that this means we've worked out a deal with Seattle to take one of Duchene or Johansen. Either for Myers, Carrier or Fabbro.

 

[Osprey]

I have only one thing to say about this trade...

 

[Pr0fet]

Really liking this move for us. Glass may end up a bust but the upside is there and I think the risk is worth it. Not sure what we’ll get out of Myers and his current health status. But he was a highly regarded d prospect just a few years ago and if we can use his frame and turn him into a solid defensive partner to one of our puck movers I think it might turn out just fine.

Then again, I may just be happy that I never need to witness the Josi - Ellis pairing again

 

[Soundgarden]

Apparently any Vegas player, even if they are traded, are exempt from being selected. Another smart angle on the Patrick v Glass argument.

 

[BigFatCat999]

OK, PREDS just got a metric f***ton cheaper, younger, an extra expansion slot because Glass is exempt. 7F 3D? if the rumor of Fabbro and Duchene to Seattle is true?

 

[Roman Yoshi]

My guess is Carrier or Fabbro will be left unprotected and will be the sweetner for taking Duchene or Johansen.

I mean you really have to be super low on all of these guys to go down that road. That would basically play out like Ellis+Joey for Glass which would should result in Poile being immediately fired.

Where is that rumor from? First I've heard of it.

Don't forget the 14 million in cap space created too though.

He made it up. I can't see Poile pissing away Fabbro just to get rid of Duchene when he doesn't have salary cap issues.

 

[Newest sens fan]

Nashville will turn Myers into a beast. He's got all the physical skills he just needs to be polished which is your bread and butter. I think it was a good deal for NSH and PHI.

Just depends on what Poile's end game is in all of this. Normally I would agree, but if his goal is to save the owners some money, well that could be a different story. I really don't think that's it, but who knows what his plan is. Right now though he is getting younger, bigger, saving dollars, and changing up the culture of this team. Will we better? That's the million dollar question.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

That's a great trade from Poile. Thanks for the memories Rocketship. I don't kniw if we're going to get better but sure feels like we are going to look MUCH different this season. Also, David Poile gives zero f***s.

If that's all he needs a good stint with Ekholm will do him wonders. Wouldn't shock me at all though that the plan is to play him eventually with Josi, especially if he knows how to use that size.

I think the players have kind of forced his hand on that one. Ellis was the one that asked him to keep the band together so its only fitting he is the one to go when it failed.

Tolvanen glass tomasino could turn into a fun line

 

[Hose Pipe]

Meh doesn't work for me brother.

 

[bdub24]

Ah f*** yes! Two players for the gnome? Oh f***ing Kay boys!!

 

[hockey diva]

Can we get Phil Housley back?
