Boudrias Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 K-Conn has had a pretty decent start to his NHL career in Dallas. Now who did we get back for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I don't think you'll find anyone to argue that the Roy trade was a good one in hindsight. It was a chance to go all in and we whiffed hard, doesn't mean it was awful at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a chance to go all in and we whiffed hard, doesn't mean it was awful at the time. it was awful then and is awful now. if you are trying to go all in, Roy is NOT the guy to go after. Utica could have used Nauts, hell we could have used Nauts at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Roy was needed just to get IN the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy Mahmood Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I hope K-Nauts has a long and successful career, especially after the Nucks didn't handle his development particularly well. And we all love to see ex-Giants prosper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Eh I'm actually ok with it. We were looking pretty deep on D at the time of the trade, and grabbing Stanton filled any void that was left in depth. So what we actually did was develop a later pick so that we could make a push at the time. This is indicative of a wealthy team, being able to create players out of picks and turn those into roster players. I mean if we're able to consistently make NHLers out of guys like say, Grenier and Corrado, and then in turn flip those guys for much needed stars like Carter and Richards ( recent trade examples of prospects for stars), then we continue to get better.

Ghostsof1915 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Horrible trade. We would have been better off trading Schroeder and another prospect and tried to get Boone Jenner. Wouldn't have helped getting to the playoffs last year. But would have been great for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 He's 24 with 36 NHL game played.Corrado is 3 years younger and already has half of those games played (18).Tanev is 2 months older than Connauton and already has 150 games under his belt.We gave up an offensive/utility 5-6th defenseman at best. Kind of a Weber type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigs Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 He's 24 with 36 NHL game played. Corrado is 3 years younger and already has half of those games played (18).

I've been watching him play during the Dallas games, and honestly he's looked very very good. I'd say he has top 4 potential, 'cause for only having 36 games played he looks so solid.

R3aL Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I was choked when it happened left scratching my head, Roy,,, guy wanted big money too he was tiny and injury riddled with zero chance of resigning, was a terrible trade, lost a great D prospect and a second round pick in a deep draft, POOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Gave up too early on him. Are you watching Canuck fans? Dallas likes him enough to play him in the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well MG is a moron of epic degrees but this wasn't so bad after all of his other blunders. After signing The Great Sweedish Idiot to a moronic 5 year deal when he already had 3 similar top 4 d's on long contracts there was no way Kevin C was going to play anyway. So that's a moot point. That's what happens when your GM logjams your team with 3rd liners, half-assed D's and NTC's, and no flexibility on you NHL roster and no ability to bring players up. You can't even give young talent a chance to play. Not even a game. If he was still here he'd still be on the Comets with zero games played in the NHL.

D-Money Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 He's 24 with 36 NHL game played. Corrado is 3 years younger and already has half of those games played (18). Tanev is 2 months older than Connauton and already has 150 games under his belt. We gave up an offensive/utility 5-6th defenseman at best. Kind of a Weber type of player. This. It was really no big loss, for a gamble that looked good early, but didn't pay off. K-Conn looks to be nothing particularly special. He doesn't provide anymore than guys who are endlessly available for cheap (Weber, Diaz, etc.). He may develop into something better...but really, at absolute most, he could end up a MA Bergeron type - a guy who scores lots of points, but is rarely retained due to other deficiencies. Even in the AHL, he was -7 in 9 games for Texas in last year's playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
