JM_ Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Interesting time for a depth move. Maybe they worked it out during the lotto show in TO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan's Moustache Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Don Waddell, who was the President of Hockey Ops, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ive always wondered (Calgary did this a few years ago), how teams can trade while the playoffs are still going on? What about the playoff teams, what if one of them were interested in Kruger but obviously can't use him until next season yet a non-playoff team swoops in and grabs him?

I suppose playoff teams could make a trade too, but the player wouldn't be eligible to play in the playoffs. Maybe they could make a deal using the ever popular 'future considerations' and then complete the deal once their playoffs are over? There seems to be one or two minor deals that happen every year while the playoffs are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that playoff teams are too concerned about making trades while still playing. However, if they were, they could probably agree on a deal that would not be announced until their season is done. I don't think this is really much different than some trades that happen in mid-season where some GM's claim surprise they didn't even know so and so was even available or being shopped.

Keenan's Moustache Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Yes, I believe Guddy was traded to us during the playoffs in 2016, so this is not unprecedented. http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/erik-gudbranson-to-canucks-jared-mccann-to-panthers-in-head-scratcher-trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The names mentioned in that link.....Hammer, Weber, Tryamkin, Pedan, Bartkowski......not one left in the organization.....well, I guess one remains to be seen.

You can basically make trades at any point, other than christmas and all star break i believe, the trade deadline is just for playoff eligibility, so unless its for draft picks playoff teams wouldnt want to lose any pieces for a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Good trade for Carolina. Not that Martinook is special. Just some size & checking to help their skilled wingers. And he's 24 or 25, handy as a depth winger. Cost? Moving down to a 4th from a 3rd. Getting rid of Krueger's salary a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Could low-key be a win for Arizona if they're not starved for cap space? Kruger should still be an underrated defensive center. If the Canes need the space though Jordan looks decent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Honestly, I could be just saying this... But Martinook is a player I wish we had. He's stood out to me over the last 2 years. Pretty burly and still establishing himself. Good on Carolina for swinging this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 My guess is Carolina is looking to shed some salary and cutting down costs. This was one of them. Had to trade a 3rd to get rid of it and even though 10% retained salary, it's still a bit cheaper to pay for 10% of his salary AND Martinook's instead of having to keep paying Kruger the 3M+ he was making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives him a fresh start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
