Radar Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 1 minute ago, bob_sauve28 said: This is a good safe play. Good player, tough and has scored in the past. I hope we don't give away prospects unless we get a starting goalie (to share time with Leenus) in the deal True fifth rounder and they keep 50% of his salary. Why not. At least it adds toughness and he still can score. Not big risk here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And should they actually sneak into the playoffs, the pick turning into a 4th won't be very painful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 This is a kind of trade that should lead to a slight roster change. Expect Sheary to move.. size for whatever Sherry brings. i doubt anything big happens... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel Corn Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Well, at least we have somebody else who can play on the right wing side. Simmonds > Bob Corkum Edited February 24, 2020 by Carmel Corn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 4th or 5th is nothing. Cap was retained 50% so the day isn’t necessarily over. Keeps guys in Rochester down. Whats not to like? Zero risk move 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODO Hockey Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) latest 3 seasons, 221 games, 102 points. Not impressed by this trade, could we not get more for 5 million ? Edit: At it seams they take 50 % of his salary, so 2,5 million.. fair enough i guess. Edited February 24, 2020 by MODO Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the appearance of trying to make a push will be a very good thing for the atmosphere in that locker room. Sure it's a long shot, but it's a positive message we haven't seen around these parts in a very long time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Brawndo Simmonds sorry is bugging me for some reason. And I'm fine with this trade just didn't expect us to be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it’s a long shot but with Toronto and Florida staggering, JBot is saying they are going for it. I think there are more small deals to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
