sQuish Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 What in the fickity fack? Gagne AND Crombeen for just a 6th, AND TB has to pay 1/3 Gagne's salary? That is quite possibly the worst trade I've ever heard. There has to be something more to that. Surely he could have gotten more for Gagne than that. He is a chronic underperformer but he still has SOME utility... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHobo73 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I get that they are trying to clear cap space, but I am really having a hard time understanding this... Why the hell did they not just trade purcell to someone for a 3rd or something? We gave Roland McKeowen for Linden Vey and a 3rd for Dorsett....

Coconuts Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not surprising. Did absolutely nothing in Tampa. His career as a Lightning was over in a flash... I guess you could say he bolted out of town.. This thread.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeofcanuck Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 wow TB retained 1/3rd of the contract... crazy. Arizona cleaning up nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Steve Yzerman is a good GM but he was not very smart in this move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Rare bad move for Yzerman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think this will be good for the yotes. Ask yourself this....If you were SG would you have performed in Edmonton? He's been on the block for how long. He has some talent and he's still young. I say he's a worthwhile risk for the coyotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This thread.. I like the: "I bet it's for Yandle...that Stevie Y he's a great GM" to "For picks? Man, that Stevie Y is awesome. Trading Gagner for a 1st rounder" to "For a 6th round pick? Cap dump I guess. Shrewd move by Stevie Y" then finally "For a 6th round pick AND he retains salary? Stevie Y got powned" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Now the Garrison to TB sounds like a dream deal come true. It was Bennings best move. Garrison has major groin problems and hes already an average skater before the problems. We got a 22 year old guy on a cheap contract who has been seasoned with Pearson and Tiffoli.

messier's_elbow Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If Gagner is worth a bag of pucks what is Shroeder worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 lol am I the only one that thinks "Arizona Coyotes" sounds weird? Agreed, I'm having a hard time getting used to the sound of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If Gagner is worth a bag of pucks what is Shroeder worth? A "2 for 1 burger coupon". At McDonald's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So Stevie gets a 6th rounder for Purcell, who had 2 years left at $4.5mil. Jim gets a 2nd rounder out of him for Garrison, who still has 4 years left at $4.6mil. ...plus Stevie is retaining salary? Stevie done got schooled by Captain Jim.

rb4u Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Steve Yzerman is a good GM but he was not very smart in this moveOne would suspect that there is already an agreement in place with a tier one UFAs. It was Bennings best move. Garrison has major groin problems and hes already an average skater before the problems. We got a 22 year old guy on a cheap contract who has been seasoned with Pearson and Tiffoli. So Stevie gets a 6th rounder for Purcell, who had 2 years left at $4.5mil. Jim gets a 2nd rounder out of him for Garrison, who still has 4 years left at $4.6mil. ...plus Stevie is retaining salary? Stevie done got schooled by Captain Jim. 2 players traded. Tampa's clearing a roster spot for Drouhin. Must be nice having organizational depth in the forward position... Not so in the case of the back end as their top 2 defensive prospects are at least a couple of years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
