    Cap space trade *without* giving up assets? Chef Allvin is cooking up a meal.

    There’s the fifth back too that some people lost their minds about for the Lafferty trade

  2. phantomgiratina

    beauviller was already probably dressed and about to go to the game and when he got to the arena, allvin probably told him to go home and pack his bags

    With the shit Davidson is dealing with, how is he making trades?

  4. Mister_Me_Seeks

    I must say.. it is odd when our GM is competent and we win trades. I still have PTSD from Trader Jim

    Nice deal. Their D has looked pretty shaky since Soucy went down, Ethan Bear will be a nice upgrade. Probably some urgency to get this done before the team loses any momentum. Beauvillier was pretty underwhelming I’ll take the 5th and run here.

    Playing with Bedard is a once in a lifetime type accomplishment that means more than any redemption arc here could’ve ever meant.

    so if we put all the assets together:

    Horvat

    2nd round pick

    for

    Raty

    Hronek

    4th round pick

    5th round pick (beauviller traded)

    Was hopeful after he showed some production last season, but he just didn’t end up being a good fit in the current line-up we have.

    He has certainly been an offensive black hole this year, but also keeping in mind that for majority of the season, he was effectively playing with 3rd/4th liners and with the corresponding ice time. No sense paying $4m for that – we will really need the cap space.

    Best of luck. I think he will still do fairly well given the right role and linemates.

  9. I saw someone predict this exact trade on here after the Corey Perry thing, show yourself insider!

    This cap relief brought to you by….Corey Perry?

    Expected move because they’re going to have Aman up here permanently, and Aman makes way less than Beauvillier.

    One reason this is such a good deal is it allows us to implement our off season plan even earlier. As in, we were never going to resign Beauvillier, and we were looking forward to doing something with his cap space. Now we can accelerate any plans we had with that space. Not exactly, but you know what im saying.

    Another reason this is good is the logjam at forward was affecting our ability to get our young guys into the lineup like Hogs

    Love this trade. We took on Beauvillier so the Islanders could clear cap to sign Horvat.

    Let’s not jump on bringing in Bear. I’m not sure he’s an improvement on the current roster. Hopefully they’re exploring the possibilities with Calgary.

    I think the last straw may have been Åman coming in and immediately outplaying him, and also fitting the model Tocchet wants a little more closely
