EK Trade

So...San Jose gives up a superstar defenseman for two cap dumps, an overpaid mid goalie, another goalie who they have no use for, a washed prospect, and some picks which will probably be mid to late? I don't really see how this makes sense.

all pieces they could flip now or at the deadline if they want.

My only disagreement is that Jarry isn't mid, and wouldn't necessarily say overpaid. He has the 5th most wins in the last 3 years and the 4 goalies above him are all paid more with exception of Saros. Also, whoever Karlsson goes to the picks will most likely be mid to late as the only other supposed team is Carolina.

Also wouldn't call poulin washed... not saying he's a stud, but he missed most of this year for personal reasons in the AHL so it's tough to know what he is at the moment.

Fans of big market teams on this site believe that all small market teams only exist to serve them and are happy to take on multiple millions in horrible contracts for their benefit. I have been a member for 1 day and this is very clear to me.

And then they say, “you can just flip ‘em” as if that is super easy.

Bang on.
