Always really liked Jaros. Whatever...

TL;DR version:

Ottawa: Saved a prorated ~$190,000 by making the swap, and they get a 7th rounder for a guy who was on the taxi squad. I'm sure a lot of taxi squad guys on two way deals have their agent bugging their team's GM about moving them to a team where they could potentially collect an NHL paycheck, so Ottawa might have done Saros a solid if they weren't planning on using him.

San Jose: Traded an AHL D for a possible bottom pairing NHL D.

Anaheim: Swapped out a stalled prospect for decent AHL defender, the team will hopefully have a decent playoff run. As a bonus, they acquired the team captain's brother.

Edit: Didn't realize Trevor Carrick was a lefty D, was picturing his brother who shoots right. Maybe easier to run their maple syrup business together.

Jaros could be a solid top-6 D.

Think San Jose comes out ahead here in my opinion. Jaros has his warts but he's not yet a finished project.

Why is this a 3 way trade, baited me into thinking that it was a real trade. ..

It's two separate deals.

Any chance San Jose brought in Jaros to backfill a right-handed D moving out? Otherwise I think they would've just kept Middleton around.

They currently have four LD's in their lineup. Their bottom pairing is Knyzhov and Simek with Simek playing the right side. That pair plays about 14 or 15 minutes a night and seem fine for what they are. I'm guessing that after they saw Meloche play that they wanted an option on the right side without having it be Merkley to keep him playing in the AHL and yo-yo'ing up and down where he may end up being the odd man out with the coach.

Jaros is there to be 7th D and fill in. Sharks have no right handers so makes sense

 

[SensFactor]

SJ wins. Jaros can play in the NHL and has some physicality. Kopacka likely never wears a Sens uniform.

So this trade is really Jaros for the SJ 2022 7th. Hope Sens can find a gem late in the draft.

Btw Jaros is decent if used in the right situation. He has problems with his consistency of play.

So did anybody previously post a proposal with this mix of players and picks?

 

[Fatass]

Who?

San Jose gives up the worst player in the deal and gets the best?

Alrighty.

First...Its like saying they got the least moldy slice of bread.

Second, they had to toss in a 7th round pick....

What the f*** is this

 

[swiftwin]

Lmao, yet another 3-way trade from Dorion.

 

[McDonald19]

Unfortunately Kopacka’s development was impacted when his wrist was cut by a skate in October 2018. He missed half of his AHL rookie season.

 

[hamzarocks]

I though Trevor Carrick was still on the canes

 

[wavaxa2]

It looks more like an HFBoards trade proposal than a real trade.

 

[BonMorrison]

Carrick bros reunited

 

[mattef]

I guess he got told to "Kopacka your bags"

this is why I'm on the internet

 

[Stive Morgan]

Big if true
