NewbieCanuckFan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Has there been a trade involving a crap contract being unloaded at the cost of a first round pick? I don’t consider ones that include major pieces being included in the crap contract. I wouldn’t consider Hutton a major asset at this point. I don’t know, hence my question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially the trade was Clarkson, a 1st and a 2nd round draft picks and William Karlsson to Vegas for "expansion draft consideration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess though that "expansion draft consideration' was I think to prevent the Blue Jackets from losing a player they couldn't protect in the expansion draft. Not sure who they were afraid of losing (as I don't follow that team). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who they were afraid of losing (as I don't follow that team). Josh Anderson and Korpisalo if I recall. Neither of which I'd say was worth losing a solid bottom 6er, a 2nd rounder and a 1st round pick over. I see it as 1st rounder to dump Clarkson's cap and William Karlsson and 2nd rounder to save Anderson and Korpisalo. Just did it all in one deal.

They have Weber returning..so a nice RhD side. Hutton fits well with their youth & skating. To be clear, we would have THREE more yrs of two lumps(Alzner & Eriksson) for 10,000,000 AAV. Yeah..that's risky. But consider if we had say TWO, top-7 picks at our hometown-hosted draft! That would be sweet. Conditions: If Mtl gave us a top-10 pick, we'd give back our 2019 2nd. If it were a top-5 pick, we give 2019 2nd & 2020 3rd. So if Mtl's pick is #11OA or lower, we don't give them any cond pick. This (somewhat) minimizes risk for Bergevin. Already that guy's been on the hot seat in Quebec... Yea or nay? I cannot see Montreal giving up a 1st round pick to dump the Alzner contract.. If any thing Montreal will trade Alzner and retain 1.6 million of his 4.6 million per yr contract.. Someone will take a chance on Alzner.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucklehead73 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 We do not need to take on bad contracts... Our drafting has been much improved and I dont think we need to resort to such tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
