[devs30rko]

traded to the Isles w a conditional pick for trent hunter.

we ditch 3 mil in cap room and we can send hunter down if we want, he has 2 years left on his contract

Nice, plenty of $$$ to sign Parise now

 

[TheRobotDevil]

A bit surprised someone took rolston without a prospect or another roster player included.not sure where we are on cap but it probably
Wouldn't hurt to drop one of our excess dmen "Salvador "

 

[MadCaptain]

But we had to take Trent Hunter back...

Hoping for a follow up trade now that there is extra cap space to play with!

 

[nj_cup]

I hope everyone on here says a thank you to beek for brig willing to spend at the cap all the time!

Good trade...new rolston was going there makes perfect sense. Isles ship him out at deadline to a playoff team for a 2nd round pick

 

[nj_cup]

I'm kinda shocked. Before this I didn't think the devils would ink Parise. Now its a lock I'm glad!

 

[devs30rko]

yo man hows it been? haven't seen you around here in a while

 

[MCDevils]

Merging this with the other Rolston thread.

Love it. Gives us a ton of options. Not sure what we plan on doing with Hunter, but at the very least he won't be a liability out there. Rolston had no place on this team when everyone is healthy. Loving this offseason so far.

 

[linebackeru]

NO pick involved at all according to TG now

 

[devs30rko]

amazing. i'm now persuaded.


lou is in fact albus dumbledore.

Trust me Hunter has no place on your team either. It's basically 1 year of Rolston at 5 million for 2 years of Hunter for a total of 4 million. I'll take the far more talented player in Rolston any day.

Not when you have Captain America to sign!

This will free up 5 million in cap space for the Isles next year. Not that they need it, but when you have Tavares & Frans Neilson to sign it helps.

I actually thought Rolston would go to the Islanders before last season, but I guess 2 years of his salary was too much. It makes sense. Rolston is a stand up guy, still has the ability to play, and is a good leader. For a team like the Isles with lots of young talent, he fits in great. Plus the Isles are always close to the cap floor.
