That's cheap

 

[BKarchitect]

I didn't even realize you could trade right now lol.

I assume we will see Carrier re-sign now...McD has been really good though. Stastney or Del Gaizo ready for full-time LH slots next year?

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Nashville wants ALL the picks.

 

[Chainshot]

Seems they noticed how hard it was for Hedman to be both Hedman and Mac this year. Good move.

 

[sxvnert]

Terrible trade for Nash.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Imagine thinking you could beat MMC at posting a trade

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

McDonagh has a full no-trade clause, don't forget that when assessing the trade.

 

[BonMorrison]

I don't understand the direction Nashville is going in. McDonagh was good this year and also we don't need cap space. Trotz clearly wants to compete now also so I don't see how this makes us better but I guess will take the 2nd round pick?

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

What's the salary cap situation? Does that mean one of the other defenders has to go?

 

[seafoam]

McDonagh never wanted to leave IIRC.

 

[Satan]

Trotz and Brisebois clearly have no respect for the remaining teams in the hunt for the cup- making trades like this during playoffs is in the unwritten rules and is extremely fround upon

I wonder if this means Stamkos is gone.

Maybe he wants to reallocate cap to a different part of the lineup?

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Nashville should have almost $25 mil in cap space to spend now. I'd guess this will lead up to another move by them soon.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I wonder if this means Stamkos is gone.

Could be. Or maybe Sergachev? Will be interesting to see if there’s any retention.

They'll get over it.

 

[BHawk21]

Stamkos just lost some space.

Th-that's Mitch Marner's music!
