Whelp we traded PK for Steven Santini, Jeremy Davies and two draft picks. Not sure what to think about this honestly.

I don’t think the Preds got the best of the deal. But this was all about shedding that contract. Other teams knew that. So we weren’t getting a premium price

Poile got hosed for once IMO. Not a good return at all

Hope Davies or the draft picks work out

Bye PK. You’ll be missed!

Honestly this deal is about free agency. We need to sign a top line player (Duchene). DP knows that. He did manage to dump PK's whole salary (3rd highest paid D-man). Plus with the Ellis extension, it makes sense.

Exactly, business move, and teams knew Poile was in somewhat of a pickle so he wasn't going to get "fair value".

Combine that with PK being a bit mercurial, it seems he wears on folks over time, it wasn't a terrible deal overall. A case where they may gain overall even though they 'lost' the trade.

Agreed, but I still don't like it* lol

*Free agency can change this

The fact that he even traded for McLeod was questionable at best. I want Boyle back, but only below market value.

Me too. I wouldn't necessarily mind bringing Simmonds back either but only on a cheap deal.

 

[BigOrange15]

The deal was probably about the best we could expect considering the circumstances.

 

[Gzearl11]

Yea people knew we needed to dump and sub an is a great player but no one was about to make a decent offer on him

The thing that gets me is that we dumped a $9 million year/3 years left salary on a 30 year old guy. When were are about to sign a long term extension that may cost more than that on a guy who is 29. so how long will Josi's contract be for.

If Josi gets 9 per Poile belongs in a loony bin

Get ready. It will be a minimum in my opinion 8.75. But I see higher.

$9 is about the floor at this point. Unless we get a “hometown discount.”

8/64 imo. Income Tax .

I think Nashville would be leader for Duchene, but not ready to sell Jarno short in Columbus.

He'll be exciting in New Jersey for a couple years, then they'll get frustrated with him and the contract. That's how he rolls. He stayed in Montreal about 4 years too long (either there or Toronto is probably the worst place for him to be) and is exiting Nashville at probably the right time.

Poile can't receive a grade on this deal until we see what he does with the cap space.

He'll get over $9 mil from someone

I'd honestly rather have Panarin
