I never saw this coming.

Both players are RFA’s at seasons end, both players have been in AHL the last four seasons and both players have been producing about the same in the last 4 seasons.

Stevens is listed at LW/C
Bitten is listed at RW/C

I always get a kick out of the roster freeze ending and teams being like "FINALLY we can complete this trade!"

dunno from the Minny side, but I'm assuming this for STL is due to their AHL roster being basically an ECHL team right now with injuries and COVID

Plan the parade! No honestly, I don't understand this at all. This feels like me swapping a normal Sprite for a Sprite with a Christmas design on it.

 

[FlameChampion]

Merry Christmas guys! Now pack your bags!

I loved Bitten in his draft year, looked like a steal

but right now, seems like a downgrade

For some reason your post reminded me that I have an unopened plastic bottle of Crystal Pepsi. It's pretty old. I wonder what I can get for it?

Which player is the Christmas design though? Because that side obviously wins

 

[Chainshot]

Once Bitten, twice shy?

Maybe Bitten due to him being picked higher? But, honestly. No clue

I know Will Bitten from the OHL
i have no idea who Nolan Steven is
...okay.... he is the son of John Stevens.

Two average AHL:ers gets traded, 1 for 1.
- slow day...

I was wondering what happened with Bitten after we traded him for Olofsson.

 

[BrokenFace]

Well we can cancel all the TDL coverage this year.

I always come to trades like these just to see who is the first person to comment “plan the parade” or “dominos…”

Great song and one I immediately thought of when I saw the trade!

While Stevens isn't anything, I'm still wondering if Minnesota is allergic to righties.

the answer is yes

William Bitten hasn’t shown the will to play in the NHL and that mentality seems to have Bitten him in the ass.

I’ll show myself out.....

It's a one for one AHL-level player trade. I don't exactly see how this helps with all the injuries and the Covid-situation at Springfield?

Think it's just a balance trade: trade a lefthanded player on a slightly cheaper contract for a righthanded player who's a little bit younger. We didn't have a lot of righty's in Springfield.

Just think of the hours of sleep lost waiting for Santa to come

Will Bitten... I remember when drafted him and forgot about him 2 days later.
