Confirmed Trade: [WPG/VGK] Cody Eakin for cond. 2021 4th round pick (3rd if Eakin re-signs or WPG makes playoffs)

[Pandaman11]

The Jets' annual deadline trade for a middle-6 center

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Hmm...

Seems Darren Helm could get a 2nd if Eakin's getting a 3rd.

 

[HanSolo]

Hahahahahaha that ****ing return. I would've taken future considerations.

 

[CupInSIX]

Wonder what Vegas is clearing cap for

Martinez.

They need the cap for when Tuch comes off LTIR.

 

[justafan22]

Man... Eakin is not good, and overrated a ton here

Eakin is the type of player GMs consider good depth even if he's having a disappointing season.

 

[FreeMcdavid]

Source my guy ?

Speculation from Dave Pagnotta who was doing a radio hit in Vancouver and reacted to the trade live. Says he has heard rumblings Vegas wasnt done.

 

[MosTLucky]

Who did Eakin play with last year when he put up 22 goals ??

The Jets' annual deadline trade for a middle-6 center

Not really.
Stastny was for a first and was a great move
Hayes was for a first and was a bad move
This is a low cost move for some depth.

Lowry is still out and Little is done for the season.
Hopefully things work out well for all involved.

Eakin. Berk.

 

[Smartguy]

Because he goofed the Sorokin one

The same people crucifying him about that are the same ones who want information and want it now, he got given a bad tip, it’s his job to try to be the first on it, I’m not going to hold it against him.

The only reason Friedman gets away with everything he reports is he rarely reports anything as fact, reports them as “I think” or “I heard from someone”

 

[Hunter368]

He’s having a down year no doubt, but ok 3rd liner. I’m happy with that deal.

 

[HanSolo]

Eakin is the type of player GMs consider good depth even if he's having a disappointing season.

Considering he has a negative impact on puck possession, I'd say those GMs are wrong.

 

[MardyBum]

Picks after the 1st round don't matter, right?

Right?

Useless scrub depth moves year after year. He shouldn't even be in the lineup when Lowry and Perreault are healthy.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

But Vegas hates Winnipeg, they are the last team that would help us improve our roster. Heck, they would s**t their pants as long as we had to smell it. This makes no sense.

 

[Vegan Knight]

Who did Eakin play with last year when he put up 22 goals ??

I think it was mostly Tuch but Pacioretty some.

 

[CupInSIX]

Why god why

 

[Forge]

lol, I appreciate Dreger's self deprecating humor

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Makes sense for Vegas even though they are contending. Stephenson is a better player at this point so clear some room for an upgrade at defence or wing.

 

[MardyBum]

Considering he has a negative impact on puck possession, I'd say those GMs are wrong.

85% of the Jets have a negative impact on puck possession, so HA!

 

[Vegan Knight]

Considering he has a negative impact on puck possession, I'd say those GMs are wrong.

I did correctly call the return a few hours ago so, go me!

 

[ottomaddox]

Man... Eakin is not good, and overrated a ton here

Can he fight?

 

[Jets2point0]

Hometown boy that can provide some toughness and slot into some much needed centre depth. Don’t mind this at all, although 5th would’ve been a little easier to get around

 

[KingsFan7824]

Going by just points as of right now, Vegas would play Winnipeg in the 1st rd. I suppose the cap makes for strange bedfellows.

 

[Canucks LB]

What happened to eakin wow
