Confirmed Trade: [STL/WAS] Shattenkirk 39% rtnd, Copley for Sanford, Malone, 1st ('17), cndl 2nd ('19)

[The Thin White Duke]

Do you just give them the free goal and rest your PK guys if you take a penalty against Washington now?

 

[Lemieuxs]

They honestly could've beaten the Pens and won the cup last year if they'd had another dman this good instead of having to rely on Erskine or whomever it was that cost them the GWG after Orpik got injured.

Team to beat, interested in what the Pens do now.

Orpik was injured? I thought he was suspended for being an idiot.

Many on Twitter are saying bowey is the main piece but who really knows

 

[Carlzner]

Honestly, Washington could have a shot at resigning him.

Nah. Got a lot of free agents and RD is the least of our needs. Pure luxury rental.

1st, 2nd, galiev, barber

Bowey + 1st?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Honestly, Washington could have a shot at resigning him.

With what cap space?

 

[ChiTownCode]

I'm torn on this- from Chicago so "boo Blues" and all that jazz but on the other hand I know what's like when your team is forced to give up a very good young talent... Torn.

Not interested tbh. But as a rental? HELL YEAH

Bob McKenzie just made it official

 

[The Great Weal]

DAMN. Washington is stacked!

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Blues dont need another dman.. Cant see bowey being a part of it

 

[David Dennison]

I bet there will be conditional picks depending on how far the caps go and if he resigns.

 

[GoCaps2004]

im going to cry i know we overpayed this sucks

 

[Savitar]

Ovechkin isn't getting any younger and is probably 3-4 years away from really slowing down. If they can get Shattenkirk and keep Vrana this trade will be huge. They are set up front but if this trade is finalized and all indications are it will be. Than man oh man they are the clear cut favourites to win the Stanley Cuo. The pens will not stand a chance

 

[MR4]

WSH 1st '17, WSH 1st '18 (cond. on SCF, if not, '19 1st) and Vrana?

Are you crazy

 

[Sam Spade]

Love it!!

Biggest loser of the trade deadline so far - TSN Tradecentre!!

Actually it would be people like me who live for trade day.

Also if this trade involves Vrana, I'm done. Forsberg all over again.

 

[Cassano]

Still don't think this is enough to beat the Pens unless the Pens have injury issues (which they do with Letang atm)

 

[go4hockey]

YESSSSSS

Please be true Friedge.

And then have him score the series clincher against the NYR in the playoffs.

 

[Drew311]

I bet there will be conditional picks depending on how far the caps go and if he resigns.

There's no way they can afford to re-sign him.

 

[Sempiternal]

TSN is pretty much irrelevant now. They used to be the best.

 

[WisconsinDuck]

Props to Eklund. He takes a lot of heat but I think he had this one first. Could be wrong.

 

[FlareKnight]

Well not surprising that Washington is loading up like crazy. Tired of getting cut off by Pittsburgh.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Eklund is the winner

 

[Atoyot]

Bob McKenzie just made it official

Not on his Twitter he didn't.

Rutherford seems to think it's done though.
