Quoting: Viqsi
Okay! Full breakdown:
Columbus gives up: LW Max Domi 50%, LD/RD Dean Kukan, C/W Liam Foudy, 1st 2022 (unspecified)
Columbus gets: W Tyler Bertuzzi, W Josh Archibald, LD Slater Koekkoek, RW Zach Kassian
Detroit gives up: W Tyler Bertuzzi, LD Nick Leddy 50%, W Adam Erne 50%
Detroit gets: 1st 2022 (CHI/CBJ, unspecified conditional), RW Raphael Lavoie, W Warren Foegele, EDM 2nd 2023, EDM 3rd 2023
Edmonton gives up: W Zach Kassian, W Warren Foegele, W Josh Archibald, RW Raphael Lavoie, LD Slater Koekkoek, EDM 2nd 2023, EDM 3rd 2023
Edmonton gets: LD Nick Leddy 50%, W Adam Erne 50%, LW Max Domi 50%.
Columbus rejects because wingers and LD are the absolute last things in the world we need, so there's no way in hell either of the 1sts come into play at all.
I appreciate your comments. It is trade deadline, so this is when non-playoff teams will load up on draft picks, prospects, RFA’s and sometimes longer-term contracts, while offering salary retention. There is no current market for these teams to really load up, often Management doesn’t mind, let’s call it…improving their draft position.
For teams in this position, their best opportunities for acquiring the players they need will be at the draft or free agency. As a fan, I wouldn’t be concerned with these sort of acquisitions, they are also moveable assets. Rumours are that Domi and Bertuzzi are going to be moved. Maybe Bertuzzi is a Laine replacement and Laine is traded for a C.
You perspective is really interesting, a CBJ fan told me last week that there was no place for Barrie, an offensive RHD there, but in the end our opinions don’t influence reality.
Cheers
