Confirmed with Link: [TOR/WSH] Nicolas Deschamps traded to the Washington Capitals for Kevin Marshall

[Khobahi]

This could be one of those dominoes situations.

well i think everyone is aware we need to make room on our NHL roster.

1) for Lupul.
2) Gardiner

So this could be very true. Filling a D spot on our depleted Marlies team (who is mostly using 5 d atm giving Gardiner 30+ mins). I expect to see a trade or 2 in then next few days on the main squad.



**** 2ndary Theory.

JML is in the game tonight to prove he can still play up to NHL quality after a month in the press box. IF JML plays well today i see him traded within the week.

 

[Warden of the North]

Taken 2 spots before PK Subban was taken, ouch.

Wonder if they wanted Marshall (from Quebec) and had to "settle" for PK ?

 

[Defense]

Arg i wanted Ovechkin

Ovechkin-Kadri-Kessel
Phaneuf-Rielly

*drool*

This could be one of those dominoes situations.

Have to doubt it. I see it like many have stated, a depth move for Marlies

 

[TheBigThree]

who cares?

 

[Frelimo]

FINALLY! I've been calling for this trade for years now. Tough to lose Deschamps, but Marshall is the perfect guy to have as in the 14th spot of the defensive depth chart (not counting Paul Ranger in the chart).

 

[Kurisu]

ForSpareParts must be heartbroken.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Mark Fraser was also considered "spare parts" not too long ago.....sometimes it is about being in the right place and having the correct mentorship.

For some, getting to the NHL can take a while....

I think you misunderstood.

'ForSpareParts' was the name of the poster who stated Deschamps was better than Kadri. Yes, that actually happened.

As for the trade...

Marshall for Deschamps
Deschamps for Caputi
Caputi for Ponikarovsky

The change lives on.

Just better hope that puck doesn't cross the redline to come back into your zone.

 

[Once]

watched marshall in philly. If he gets coached properly somewhat like fraser he will be a force to reckoned with. Tough guy.

 

[tinfoilcup]

I hope ForSpareParts comes into this thread and tells us all what a huge mistake this trade is.

 

[Hotlanta]

Brad Ross has earned an offensive full time spot I guess. This trade helps the Marlies and helps our young prospects get ice time.

 

[Frelimo]

You called this trade for years?

Essentially yes, but in various permutations. My foresight is amazing. Burke's five year plans were never going to work, I operate on a 25 year plan.

 

[Communal Blood]

Excellent. Another spot so Ross/Carrick/Devane can play more.

 

[Jeffler]

Marlies need to score, trade scorer for stay at home defenceman, when they already have 8D on the roster and expect to get 2 more from Junior at some point.

Something's up. Expect another move in the near future

Brad Ross has played well after coming back from his injury, its really good to see the Marlies clearing some space for him.

I wait to see how this helps the team. I watched the game last night and you could see how shaky Yeo looked so some depth could help.

Whats up with Connolly? I saw he only had didn't have many games played. Is he injured or am i missing something?

 

[BonMorrison]

For some mad lawl's, look at the reaction to this trade:

The comments. This fanbase. I can't handle.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Awe I liked deschamps

Probably stopped showing up to games after getting depressed knowing he's stuck in the AHL

Yesterday he layed an 'old-man' beating on some punk kid who slashed him lol. That's about all I've seen, I feel bad for the guy.

Is it ironic his handle is "Defense" ?
