Klim we hardly knew thee. People will be upset by this.

That’s a trade alright

Goodbye Klim Shady 🫡

I am whelmed.

Hey… we did something!

Fuck man. I know he didn’t get a lot of playtime but I still liked what he brought when he did play. Fuck, I was so pumped when we got him too 🙁 I saw his playoffs with Edmonton and I thought we got a helluva player.
Brooksie019
Any one know anything about this guy? Never heard of him before
AintNoBuffet
getting a 7th dman in return in my eyes means holl is next to go
Edit: They sent Radim Simek down right away, could this be edvinsson getting called up?

Damn… I really liked the Klim Reaper. We need more grit
kmdd53
I think this move is more for Berggren and shedding Kostins salary. Simek should be an AHL guy.
Spartandawgs9
Definitely a cap clearing move, right?
Soggy_Jigger
Klim was a stud in the playoffs last year for Edmonton. Was looking forward to seeing that version of him when we get in.
SnowballJackson
We’re just clearing cap. It’s ok boys
cruzweb
Simek immediately assigned to GRG
sunshineeeeeeeeeeee_
Of course when I clock into work something happens

This has big “re-arranging my sock drawer” energy.

He’s showing as being in Grand rapids on elite prospects

Berggren szn

Thank you Klim! You are a dawg and I for one enjoyed having you on the team

Getting minor assets in exchange for a salary dump seems okay. It’s too bad Kostin didn’t work out, but I guess best to get even minor assets for him than just having him sit.
onbiver9871
Hmm, there’s Bergy’s spot open I guess.
CeJW
Based on elite prospects, he is in fact a Griffin? Not a wing
whitelightning91
According to CapFriendly, Kostin was a $2M cap hit and now Simek is listed as a $1.1M buried penalty, so the move saves 900k. Still over $3M in space.

Count me as one of those who thought Kostin would make an impact. Guess not. Might as well move the $ and call up Burgers
BehemothManiac
I see, loading up for the Calder Cup run

Loved Klim but I get the sense that Stevie started to feel he’s wasting offensive prowess on not having Berggren in the lineup so he moves one of our lesser wingers. Would’ve liked a better return obviously but at least we got something whilst also opening up room for our best offensive prospect at the moment.
snotbowst
That whole thing to get Kostin and buy out Yamamoto seems really weird now. But hey no harm, no foul, the world keeps spinning
ChucklesLeClown
Come on down Berggren
SpiritBamba
Cap dump, might see holl moved too if we are trying to create cap space.
TheBrothersClegane
A 7th and the Czech Brian Lashoff for clearing up the cap isn’t terrible. Not an exciting move but a necessary one.
TheAnalogKid18
If our deadline acquisition is a Patrick Kane extension then I’m alright with this.
Late_Brush4518
Cap space is nice as we dont have that much for next season
VHDLEngineer
Kailer Yamamoto died for this 😢
redliondesu
I liked Klim in theory but he barely played and got hurt like 7 times in 3 months when he did. He’s not an important or impactful player so not really worried about trading him.

Wiping the slate Klim

Will Simek start immediately? We need all the help we can get.
