Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 Pick swap is basically meaningless, once you get into the success percentages on three digit numbered picks. So, for basically the cost of a contract slot, we add a guy who can meet exposure requirements, and gain some flexibility on our protected list (don’t have to expose Myers). And, I suppose we add a RH shot depth Dman with some “last chance” upside, as a reclamation project, on a cheap contract through next season. But wow, Bowey’s fancy stats are really something. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is signed for this season and next at 725k cap hit, which means we can't even extend his contract until next season begins. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day is a beautiful day. My days and my emotions don’t revolve around hockey. Depressive and negative people do get to me I will admit, for I do not understand how merely being alive isn’t in merit of utmost gratitude. Getting emotional about things one cannot control is kind of a waste of time when there are so many other variables in a person’s life which are in need of attention.

mll Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Likely for the expansion draft. If they hadn’t added him they would have to expose one of Myers or Schmidt. Now they can protect both. Edited April 12, 2021 by mll 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Gaudette and a 4th for Bowie, Highmore and a 5th? That's pretty okay I suppose. Lol. Thanks hindsight for satiating my anger. Gaudette and Bowie are pretty comparable. Defensive liabilities that have some offensive upside. 4th rounder for a flier on Highmore and a 5th round pick. All in all it's decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 What a great plan! Downgrade the roster so we don't have to give away anything good at the entry draft. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BCNate Posted April 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 I don't get why there is frustration with this move. Bowie is a Big RHD on probably his last NHL shot- so a lottery ticket, and it cost us moving down from the 4th to 5th round? I'm completely fine with that. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
