Very odd to trade the younger, more controlable goalie when your a rebuilding team. Decent return though, makes me want to see us trade Nilsson at next TDL A late 2nd at least for mrazek...thats what i figured but i think Tampa could use Nilsson.

Odd. Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I remember this guy being very highly touted once. Particulary when Howard suffered a season ending injury a few seasons back. His lack of commitment and his attitude issues probably the biggest factor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilsson was better last year, considerably better and they both have a .910 sv% this year. Not sure what make Mrazek better (with a 4 million cap hit as well - which is why they had to retain) - perhaps just the old Canuck inferiority complex / fishbowl effect where a goaltender is always judged on his last 2 appearances lol. anyhow, goaltender market always seems to be a buyer's market.

Mrazek's playoff experience counts a lot for a team that may need to use him in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 That seems to be the way to get these deals done when valuation is uncertain -- conditional picks. If Vanek goes, we may see the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than zero and it shows that the pressure didn't rattle him. Nothing against Nilsson because he's proven he's a perfectly serviceable backup but if the choice was him or Mrazek Philly made the right call assuming the price was remotely similar.

Iggynucks Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Why anyone thinks Nilsson has any trade value is beyond me. Reminds me of a couple years ago when people on here were suggesting Lack would fetch a late 1st rounder or at least a 2nd and a 3rd. Lol. Lack actually played quite well that season too. Quite often Nilsson gives up a softy (or two) early in the game and completely deflates any momentum the Canucks may have had. If he fetches anything more than a 6th round pick, I'll be surprised. As for the Mrazek trade, not a great but still a solid return for Detroit. He looked like he had real potential two seasons ago but for some reason or another he regressed last season and still hasn't really found his game this season either. That being said, I still like his upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
