Gotta say that right now it feels like no one won this trade.

Just like when SJ traded for EK my only thought is “couldn’t they have used the assets/cap space on something more useful?”. He just isn’t really filling a need here and they got him at his most expensive. Flip side, if this works Pit will score 8000 goals next season.

SJ at least gets cap space and can flip Hoffman for something. It fits what they’re trying to do. Grier said he wasn’t going to eat much and give him away and he did that. Good on him.

Dammit. I just sold my Petry jersey last month.

I have a Habs Josh Gorges jersey with #26 on the back - Isn't that Petry's number? I can send it to you

The price for the Sharks to get rid of that long term pain of ek’s contract was the short term cap hit of 2 meh forwards who i guess they can flip if they both find their games (granlund seems washed to me though )

They have less cap space for 23/24 than they did before the trade but its go off track for mack time anyways

The Penguins were already old, crusty and in cap hell so getting rid of turds for different turds didn't really matter. Not really sure what these deals accomplished for the Sharks or Canadiens as both teams took on crap players and more cap space.

EDIT: I guess taking on the Penguins drafts picks with the assumption they will suck makes sense.

I don't see many glaring holes on the Canes.

Well, Tony DeAngelo is a glaring hole, but other than him....

I wish him well.
That changes if he makes the team, of course

if this wedding took place in Boston, they were promptly beaten to a pulp for being "fricking queeee-ahs"
