thewookie1 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Good luck Asplund both Bjork and Asplund’s trades are Adams doing good for his players. Something I’d imagine is a positive in player circles. Sort out of the opposite to Quick’s snafu by LA. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but given his recent play, I think the Kings would be more than happy to face Quick in the playoffs than to have him in their own net.

TheAud Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 First Risto, now Asplund. I'm glad we have Dahlin of course, but Adams needs to look to replenish the Rasmus pipeline via draft or free agency. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postseasonblues Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 So they traded him for a Timbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Just now, postseasonblues said: So they traded him for a Timbit. A 7th hardly ever turns into anything when you use it in the draft. But it can be valuable in the offseason or trade deadline when you want a player that CAN contribute and the other team wants 'just something extra'.

French Collection Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 I wonder if part of this deal is some goodwill for a future deal. I know Poile is turning the reins over to Trotz but he remains an advisor. It could be something as simple as if Saros is being moved at the draft, can we get the last call to try and make a deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Don’t really understand any consternation on this one, personally. If we think we got burned by dealing a Asplund for a 7, we can cool-off by simply dealing one of the 7ths we get, every year for free, for the next Asplund Then THOSE team’s fans can repeat the cycle etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically stopped caring 5 minutes after it happened. 1 minute ago, Thorny said: After what happened I care. No Concept of Asplund? Undaunted, I'll do so anyway! The disappointing part of the Concept of Asplund is it was a continuing thread with this team of acquiring the smart, somewhat tenacious if not physical, defensive-minded center out of Sweden who looked like a decent prospect. Someone the Red Wings would've drafted back when they had Zetterberg/Franzen. Trade for Johan Larsson, draft Rasmus Asplund, draft Marcus Davidsson. Honorable mention to Sjodin as a 7th. Angry Larry has had a fair career, Rasmus the Middle is 4th liner maybe, Davidsson never made it. But none of them made a difference. That's it. That's all I got for my Remembrance of the Concept of Asplund. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked up Jost from Minnesota but that's not my point. Every team has players that don't work out relative to their draft position. The Sabres decided to cut bait on Asplund and open up a roster spot, but at least they are (recently) savvy enough to grab a guy like Jost for nothing and make him a productive piece of the solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Feels more like they were gunning for Fabbro but Nash extended him instead cause they knew they could get something for it. Then this was a consolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted March 3 Author Report Share Posted March 3 1 hour ago, Eleven said: Agree w the Brisson thing, but players notice when a guy gets moved because he needs an opportunity. I think they know who Asplund is--he's a plugger, and the players know the pluggers on their own teams as well as on other teams. Agents certainly notice when players such as Bjork and Asplund are moved to teams where they will get playing time in the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TageMVP Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Honestly kind of surprised that Peterka wasn't benched anytime over the last month or so for Asplund This team lacks defensive awareness big time and that's something Asplund was exclusively good at Anyway, however, moving on hopefully Peterka keeps up this little offensive resurgence he's been on lately (shots, scoring chances) and he did have a nice goal against Columbus. He's still the odd man out right now, though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had very good defensive stats I think, that alone should be worth something. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
