Nice

 

[Canucks LB]

it has the cost at least the second or third round right?

 

[Slapshot_11]

Now what draft picks did we trade as well...

 

[Canucks LB]

Or maybe it’s a player for player swap, but apparently there’s no retention?

 

[Deeds26]

I'm not working another minute until the full deal is announced and about 20 minutes after that to see all the reactions.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Sucks to lose a 3rd but at least we get an experienced back up

Or maybe it’s a player for player swap, but apparently there’s no retention?

A 3rd, the price of no retention

 

[Bgav]

I like it

 

[Peen]

sure

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The Pearson extension still annoys me whenever I think about it

 

[Petey O]

So the Canucks gain about 1.5~ mil in cap space for a third. That's alright, I guess.

 

[rypper]

I expected worse, don't hate that at all.

Scouting report on casey desmith?

 

[Josepho]

f*** you benning

 

[wonton15]

It’s not bad in a vacuum

Still stupid as hell he was even signed to that contract

Scouting report on casey desmith?

A back up who had to be a temporary starter for the Penguins last season because Jarry decided to shit himself

Scouting report on casey desmith?

College goalie arrested for domestic assault and resisting arrest

University of New Hampshire starter Casey DeSmith was booked during move-in weekend for allegedly punching and spitting on a woman. It's the latest unsavory event involving a Hockey East player.

I don’t hate it. 2025 pick

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I was torn between cheering Pearson making the team because of the cap situation and because of the everything he went through last year. Hope he can ressurect his career in Montreal.

 

[m9]

Seems pretty fair. Would probably cost a 2nd to dump Pearson but eating DeSmith back helps bump it down a round.

There really has to be another goalie move coming, though. 6 of them under contract, right?

 

[geebaan]

Benning STILL f***ing us. Unreal. Trades not bad honestly and looks like we got our answer for backup goalie.

 

[wonton15]

I appreciate a legit backup behind Demko, but this does clog up the pipes a bit. Was hoping Tolipilo would get AHL reps.

 

[Breakers]

The Pearson extension still annoys me whenever I think about it

Nobody in history understood that extension and the timing
as Pettersson and Hughes still weren't signed
and we held onto him at the deadline despite missing the playoffs.

i remember when it was announced, everyone just went WHY?

 

[MS]

Fair enough. Moves a garbage contract without having to touch any significant assets.

Biggest thing out of this is that we now have WAY too many goalies. Surprised they didn't tuck Sawchenko back to Montreal in this or something.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Lol Jim. Some things in life are constant.
