Isn't Jack Kopacka with the Gulls in the Ducks system ?

Jack Kopacka is a Ducks prospect. I think this trade is with Anaheim, not San Jose.

Just read on the website the ducks and SJ made a trade prior today

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Jaros was a good AHL player / getting some NHL time last season. This other guy played in the ECHL last season

Easy win for SJ?

Trevor Carrick for Kopacka

Trevor Carrick for Kopacka

That would explain why I'd never heard of Kopacka before this morning.

Looks like a low key three way trade: Ducks Acquire Trevor Carrick from San Jose | San Diego Gulls

JAN 27, 2021

The Anaheim Ducks announced today the National Hockey League (NHL) club acquired defenseman Trevor Carrick from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for left wing Jack Kopacka.

Unite the Carrick brothers in SD.

Don't know if i've ever seen a 3-way trade with AHL players only.

 

[cudi]

lamest 3 team trade ever?

 

[banks]

I got excited to see a real trade. Then I got even more excited that it was a 3 team deal!

Then I saw the players involved, and now feel totally deflated.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Why even bother going through the headaches and logistics of a three-way deal when these are the pieces you're moving?

 

[bukwas]

I look at the names and wonder which team was motivated to initiate talks.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I guess he got told to "Kopacka your bags"

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I can see why this needed a 3 team trade with such big cap hits and all.

Oh wait

 

[Patty Ice]

Why even bother going through the headaches and logistics of a three-way deal when these are the pieces you're moving?

Looks like it was something the Sharks facilitated and they have a need for a player like Jaros. Doesn't seem like much of a headache to undertake.

I imagine Wilson has had his eye on him for awhile.

 

[snipes]

Bold.

Kopacka's day so far:
Anaheim: Go Packa ur bags ur going to San Jose
San Jose: Go Packa ur bags ur going to Ottawa.

 

[MarkWheeler]

And we all thought the Laine trade was a blockbuster!

That's just part of being a GM, as much as we like to think it's all blockbuster trades and scouting first round picks, you have to sort out the bottom of your AHL rosters too.

Ottawa: Jaros was set to make 250K in the minors where Kopacka will make 57K. For an owner who might not set the biggest budget, you just saved a decent chunk without affecting your NHL roster.

San Jose: Not sure if the Sharks view Jaros as a possible 3rd pair RD at the NHL level. So they potentially swapped out an AHL D for an NHL D.

Anaheim: Gulls only had one RD on the roster at the moment, so Carrick filled a need there. Carrick's brother is captain of the Gulls, so maybe that's a bonus to get them reunited.

Who the hell names their kid "SJ 2022 7th"

 

[Filthy Dangles]

who who and who?

 

[JustAHabFan]

Wow. Such a big three way trade.

It looks like that the Sharks wanted a depth RHD with Merkley deemed not NHL-ready yet. Jaros fits the bill, but Ottawa wanted a forward and not a defenseman. Hence the three-way to unite Carrick with his brother. A minor deal, but could have some NHL implications if San Jose wants to play a righty on the third pair rather than two lefties.
