Confirmed Trade: [SJS/BUF] E.Kane for D. O'Regan, 2019 cond. 1st/2nd round, 2019/2020 cond. 4th/3rd round [MOD 274]

[CaptPantalones]

Next year's 1st, Danny O'Regan and 2020 4th

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Seems like a strange move for SJ. They're not going anywhere this year.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Conditional first.

Buffalo trying to recreate BU's 2014-15 first line.

Eichel - Rodrigues - O'Regan

 

[Sansbacon]

Cal-Evander Kane-ifornia

 

[Bizz]

more sensible use of a 1st rounder than the Hartman and Stastny deals.

 

[InfinityIggy]

As a Flames fan, I really, really like this.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

O'regan, first (cond) and a 4th (cond)

 

[Nick Hansen]

Hartman getting a 1st in return with no conditions while Kane's comes with conditions...speaks volumes.

 

[Daximus]

Wow so basically just a 1st for EK9. Buffalo fans must be pissed.

 

[Mattilaus]

I think this is pretty fair.

 

[Riptide]

Solid return for Buffalo. I like O'Regan as a prospect. Not elite... but the kid tore up the AHL as a rookie last year.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Hartman getting a 1st in return with no conditions while Kane's comes with conditions...speaks volumes.

Hartman is RFA.

That young RFAs are sometimes more valuable than pure rentals? Sports lunacy!!!

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

meh, buff gm wanted more got a lot less then speculated.

 

[Ace]

The condition is lottery protection bro

 

[Yatzhee]

The prospect is Eichel and Rodriguez liberate from BU.

This is a good deal for Buffalo

Good trade for SJ IMO. He's a really good player. Maybe Buffalo took the best offer they received just to get rid of him?

That one team is more likely to miss the playoffs than the other?

Yes, it says Hartman was an RFA rather than a UFA and also that Nashville is less scared they'll miss the playoffs this year than SJS is they'll miss next year. "Volumes."

 

[belair]

Perfect playoff player. You will love his nonstop tenacity and forecheck Sharks. Good luck Kaner!

Well we don't know that quite yet now, do we? He's never been to the NHL playoffs.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Hahahaha, what? They're contenders. But yeah, a meh team aquiring a troublemaker and a rental is a very good deal indeed. Your team isn't young exactly, might want to hold on to those picks..

Good because they definitely should join the NCAA instead if they really ice a line like that in a NHL game.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

I think Buffalo dropped the ball. They were never going to be a playoff team and they let this kid’s value tank after a blazing hot start to the season. If he’d been traded by Christmas they’d have done much better. A lottery protected 1st next year is basically the full extent of the return. O’Regan and a conditional 2020 4th are insubstantial.

 

[Ace]

Botterill wants a 1, conditional pick, a prospect and a roster player... is mocked by hfboards.

Gets a 1, conditional pick and prospect... is deemed a big loss by hf boards.

The condition on the 1 is a standard lottery protection.
