Despite MacDonald's horrific advanced stats, but I do know he's got decent wheels and quite honestly, I have only seen MacDonald play the games against the Flyers & the Yankee Stadium game vs the Rangers.

I'm not a fan of the price paid, but he'll add needed mobility and will probably benefit from fewer minutes.

Seems to be the consensus.

they must re sign him now after giving up two pick and it won't be cheap

~5 yrs 23M

The full trade:

Elliotte Friedman

Luongo and Steven Anthony for Markstrom and Matthias. Canucks are picking up part of the salary....will be finalized after trade call

Seems to be the consensus.

I honestly haven't seen him play enough to say whether or not he's worth it. He's playing a ton of minutes on a bad team, but he does have solid mobility and they'll probably recoup at least part of the cost, because they're almost certainly going to make at least one other move, if only to bring Raffl back up.

I hope they wait until the summer to do it -- take time to evaluate how he fits in.

Just trying to rile people up?

So, is this guy a puck mover/2-way guy, or is he a younger Grossmann?

Per McKenzie, it'll be $1mm per year for the rest of the contract

Trading a 2nd and 3rd for a top 4 dman is an awesome trade. With all the future hall of gamers we have in the system (Morin, ghost, hagg, laughton), we are due for a bust.

He's more mobile and better with the puck. Nowhere near as physical despite the shot block numbers.

He's a two-way guy. I think he may be like a Matt Carle.
