Still have an extra pick, a 4th rounder from the Motte trade. Jack Rathbone was a 4th round pick wasn’t he?

Could have had 2 if we had a smarter Mgmt group but I guess you can never trade for enough healthy scratches.

Pretty funny. You would almost think Benning was running the show in Vegas;

I think it’s more Ottawa related. Vegas saying they were unaware of the clause/list of teams.

We had an extra pick yesterday for twenty minutes. Small steps.

Technically we still have an extra pick. We also got a decent bottom pairing Dman and 1.5 million in cap surplus. Read the blog. Carol outlined things pretty good.

Around there. But the pick is a ‘23 4th, so we’ll have to wait a long while.

That’s what they’re claiming. Perhaps it’s not the clause so much as the specific list. If Ottawa didn’t disclose it perhaps they thought it hadn’t been submitted?

You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.

Yesterday we had 3 mil in space and two extra picks today we don't .

We lost one pick , half the cap space , picked up a 6/7/8 Dman and a 37 year old waiver pick up . Paint it the way you want.

Not going to get into this again today but if you think its good , so be it. I don't . Nothing will change either of our minds time to move on.

Maybe it was a blunder, maybe not, but it’s certainly not Spassky v Fischer BxH2 and therefore, not worth 40 pages of argument.

Because Juulsen isn’t an NHL defenseman and they’re in a playoff race?

But is he that much worse than McDermott….if he is it’s only slightly. But I get what you’re saying.

The thing is, you keep calling people that support the moves names. I fall into that category, so I feel justified in defending my stance. One thing with me, if you show respect for my views you'll get it in return. But keep calling my views dumb and slurpy and you'll get pushback. So, respectfully I'll move on. I hope you can do the same.

Exactly .

Trade Hughes Petey and Miller and bring in Dermott . Not you but other posters actually think this is a formula for success,

Motte + Hamonic for Dermott + Richardson 4th

Two guys who have been healthy scratches and a 4th. These trades weren’t for the playoff race lol

I think you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill, they are minimalistic moves at best. They’re barely worth mentioning. Typical Canadian fans, all of us, hanging on to even the small things

Just looking at the lineup, Burroughs is hurt and Poolman is on LTIR. So the move keeps them from icing Juulsen and Hunt at the same time.

I'm assuming they still want to push for the playoffs and they have some belief that Dermott can play a starting role here. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until Dermott plays himself out of the line up. And if he plays himself upward from 6, so much the better.

None of these player moves move the needle one way or the other IMO. The team is equally as good/bad as they were on Sunday but with a tiny slice more cap space next year and an extra pick the year after. The heavy lifting starts in June.

So the GM shouldn't even take calls on these players?
