Two related transactions to announce:
The Fylanders send Kimmo Timonen + a 2nd round pick in 2014
To the Quebec Rordiques for Dan Boyle + a 7th round pick in 2014 + FA add/drop
Condition: Boyle must OUTSCORE Timonen the rest of the way otherwise the 7th turns into a 4th.
Then the Fylanders:
Add Colton Orr and drop Sean Monahan
Add Sean Monahan and drop Brent Burns
Add Brent Burns and drop Colton Orr (using their newly acquired FA add/drop).
Conditional trades are pains in my ass and don't get commentary.
Nothing wrong with the Gambit obviously under the current rules, but has the idea been floated of a 24 hr window during which a GM cannot pick up a player he or she has just dropped? it would effectively eliminate the gambit, if that's something we wanted to do.
ReplyDeleteThis might be a good time to remind everyone of the bit in Greg's awards post about the five stages of trading with Fy. Rory will be entering the depression phase soon so we need to be gentle with him.
ReplyDeleteRory got great value for a 38 year old Dman he picked up for a 6-9 swap. He also waited about a month for me to fork up the 2nd rounder and not a 3rd rounder.
ReplyDeleteSam, there have been a few ideas floated about ways to change up the FA pool, maybe a waiver claim system or something. It is something we will discuss this year.
