wallstreetamigo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 1 hour ago, Master Mind said: To BUF: Andy Greene, Sergei Kalinin, Alex Biega, Shane Harper, NYR 2017 3rd To TBL: Melker Karlsson, David Schlemko Thank you to @Herberts Vasiljevs for the excellent negotiation process. Lots of ideas floated around, respectful discussion, and a real willingness to flesh out a deal from both sides perspective. A pleasure to deal with him. Tanks to MM for the quick processing as well. This is a tough trade to make for sure. With our defense already thin, trading another top dman took careful consideration. In the end, this deal checked off a lot of boxes for us and so we pulled the trigger. First, it gives us future cap flexibility as we continue to retool our defense. A secondary benefit is the current playoff nature of these players. We do not see either player as purely a rental at this point though. We are definitely hopeful that they can fill longer term positions for us. We also cleared a few roster spots overall which gives us flexibility heading into the trade deadline and the offseason. We are loaded at forward now and are actively looking to acquire both a top 2 (or 4) young dman and also younger waiver ineligible depth defensemen and NHL ready prospects. Thank you to Andy, Sergei, Alex, and Shane for their service to the Lightning and welcome to Melker and David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Nylander anyways... Lets see if you get a 20 year old expansion safe rookie, on his way to well over 50 points. For a potential play off team? You must be drunk or hallucinating because I've never said anything of the sort. Your grasp of reality is tenuous at best. Feel free to quote where I publicly 'intimated' that. #facepalm Brian Burke's in your dreams I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Long story short, Nick is off the trade market and will serve as a scratch once he's healthy. Also blurred out big buffs finger just in case, don't want to get banned lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime Montour is up and coming this year and should be a regular next season and Maatta will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Kings are interested in moving a struggling forward (won't name who) along with picks and to a certain extent prospects if the right deal comes along for an upgrade in the forward position preferably center or right wing who is part of a contending team. Hit me up with offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Cholowski and McAvoy have more value than those 2 players. 1st rounders that are still bluechip. Slepyshev and Hjalmarsson @ 50% would have been enough for that deal.

Cholowski could be the next Derek Forbort - if so, that instantly makes this deal a win for Minny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAvoy is a bonafide bluechip prospect too. It gets even worse the more I look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
