[TRADE] Isles acquire Nino (and other silly names)
The Isles and Blues hooked up for a deal late Sunday night that involved three of the best names in hockey.
To Blues
Calle Jarnkrok
Slater Koekkoek
To Isles
Nino Niederreiter
Jyrki Jokipakka
2nd Rndr 16'
Outside of some great names moving, the base of the deal was Jarnkrok + for Nino. Nino is worth more and has a higher production past and present but Jarnkrok is finding good success on the #1 line in Nashville.
We added Koekkoek who the Blues liked, but as a Top 10 pick he has a lot of potential, so two assets were sent back in Jyrki and a 2nd.
Thanks to the Blues for the smooth talks...it's always fun to have good negotiations that move toward a deal getting done.
