I can live with this. It'll definitely hurt us next season, but to me, Schenn has been a beneficiary of our PP. Still, 50 pts is 50 pts.

Hopefully this gives a prospect a better chance to break into the top 6 and pp1. Also, the added 1st helps if we start rising in conference seating in the years to come.

BUT does this mean that Simmonds is more likely to be resigned in 2 years?

If it's between 1-30, we don't get it

Expensive throw in. Blues fans couldn't stand the guy.
- PLindbergh31

This is a good trade. If we're under the cap anyways who cares. (frank)ing 2 firsts for schenn?! A guy who we can't get to fit anywhere but on the pp

Sounds like somebody who was picked 26th some years ago.

The Pens will get Tolvanen or Kostin.

Pens get Ryan reaves

I've never been shy about hating Brayden Schenn. He was terrible at even strength.

I recognize how good he was on the PP and how streaky of a scorer he could be. Good luck in St. Louis!

The entire team was poor at ES last year. In 15/16 Schenn had a solid year at ES. Mixed emotions about this trade.

Seems the conditional is pretty low. We should get their 1st. Top 10 protected, St Louis can defer to 2019 if they want. If they do we get a 3rd.

Trade sounds better. That should absolutely be a 1st.
- Mononoke

So if they defer. It's an unprotected 2019 1st and 3rd?

Cap dump. Hexy is not done maneuvering. Remember we are getting a goalie and more salary will be heading out

Lehtera's cap hit is 4.7M. Saves the Flyers 425K on the cap.

this trade sucks

There they go. He should be a great wing with their guys.

Fair enough. That player just wasn't my brand of vodka, as it were.

It's not a homerun but if Frost pans out it's a win for us

Smells like umberger for hartnell only at least we got 2 firsts this time

You'll feel better when you see the player linblom can be with your own eyes

do they need a new bouncer at the new Igloo?

Cap dump for blues. Flyers weren't seeking him out

I think that's a good possibility.

The 1st rounders I get, but the Lehtera thing is also a hang up to me. He makes $4.7 mil for 2 years. He is not close to a need. Why do we have both Flip and Lehtera making almost $10 mil? That's crazy. I really want to see where this is going. And Laughton?

I hope we see 1 of Flip or Lehtera traded.

Blues took on the player with the higher cap hit. How is it a cap dump for them?
