lefty9 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I think we got him for cheaper than we thought because other teams where a little hesitant of Troula's tactics up in Winnipeg ,plus his agent is a hard guy to deal with $$$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm still shocked Pionk and the #20 pick was the best offer on the table for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 when i first saw the headline i feared a massive over payment was in the details. Actually had to read it a second time to make sure it was that little. Nothing not to like here. Only thing I believe in reading about his agent is that his number might be closer to 8mln but i can stomach that for a 25 year old plus just seeing what San Jose paid Karlson. anyone know where the fiance goes to med school in the states? hoping its NYU. This trade was pretty close to highway robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonGecko Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 This off season is crazy, Gorton is insane. New additions since last season: Shesterkin Rykov Fox Trouba Kravtsov Kakko And all we gave up was a couple months of Hayes, Pionk, a 2nd and a 3rd. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Gorton's moves since February, plus we're getting either Kakko or Hughes, and he signed the two Russians (Igor & Kravtsov): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonGecko Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Bad news is this guy's agent is hockey's version of Scott Boras, only more of a hardass. He's going to demand "max money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Legit question: is Winnipeg really considered Western Canada? I know that most of Manitoba, the entirety of Saskatchewan and Alberta up til the Rockies is basically a colder Iowa. Yes, anything west of the Ontario/Manitoba border. If you ever drive it, you'll understand. When you hit that border it goes from dense forest to expansive prairie in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Lothbrok Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 What's interesting to me is that we went from having NO future on defense other than Brady Skjei to almost definitely having a bright, bright future on defense in only a year. Like, Trouba/Skjei/DeAngelo/Fox are basically locks. Beyond that, however, now there's Hajek, Keane, Miller, Lundkvist and Reunanen. One way or another, we have a definite top 6 for the next decade.

Yeah, great point. Looking at the defense a month or so ago gave me the shivers. But, now, damn. I can't wait to see more of Hajek. Him getting injured really sucked. He looked really good his brief stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Gorton was a top executive prospect for a reason. He's just getting started, too. I can't be any happier with this guy! He's been absolutely magnificent, and adding JD just puts the icing on the cake! It's a great feeling to be moving in the direction we are right now....and I simply CANNOT wait to Draft day!!!
