Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What's with all these 5th rounder's being dealt? You'd think Ellerby could fetch more than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Highway robbery for a cap dump... But for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 hmmm.... I can only assume that this is in preparation for another move. Dude didn't cost that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crom! Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Pretty cheap for a young, 6'4'' 6/7th Dman who is only making 700K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Looking into it, doesn't seem that way. Panthers had 8 d-men up on 1 ways because of injuries and now that everyone is healthy someone had to go. Ellerby was the odd man out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 He is certainly an upgrade on Barker IMHO as well as being really young with some upside. If Gillis and Tallon are chatting regularly, I wonder why we didn't get in on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoosh Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I don't get why they choose to let go of Ellerby of all their 1-way d-men. And didn't get much in return IMO... Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disaronno Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wouldn't it have been easier for LA to just ship Lokitonov to Florida for Ellerby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Would make sense if we didn't have Tanev but Ellerby is too good to sit but not good enough to make any of our dmen sit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It better be. Could this be the day that Luongo gets his wish, and ends up in Florida? Amazed that Ellerby went for such a low price. Reminds me a little bit of when Philadelphia stole Coburn from Atlanta many years ago. Can't believe Tallon would give up on a guy his age this quickly. A 5th round pick?!? Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Nobody makes a trade with Florida but us! NOBODY!! Seriously though, Ellerby is not that good. people on here are overrating him cause of his size. He'd be an 8th spot defenseman on this team and probably wouldn't see any ice time.

oldnews Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Annoying move tbh - Ellerby isn't a "cap dump" - he's an ELC making 700k. Can't see Tallon's angle here at all - and hate to see giveaways going to the SC Champs. bleck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
