Putting the summer deals into the mix, Conroy actually did pretty well by waiting

Maybe. I get the feeling he might have had different asks for different teams. And some were non starters.

If we trade Coleman +50% retention this season, trade Whitecloud for a ~2nd, then in the summer look at moving Kadri... that would by far exceed my expectations.

Nothing for me to be stressed about at this point. I think the "dragging on" for a few days really took its toll on all of our mental states though. When the dust settles I dont see anything panic inducing from my side.

Was the Carlo trade really better at the time than this ?

Minten wasn’t as highly thought of then

[Roof-Daddy]

I voted break even, because I always expected him to be traded as a rental, but I do think it's really good value for a rental.

You are obviously a slow learner, and deserve everything you get.

[Enoch Root]

Whitecloud for Poitras or Letourneau or Bystadt

any of those would work!

[Roof-Daddy]

Question on the conditions for the 2027 2nd.

If Vegas wins the cup in 2026 we get their 2028 1st instead of the 2027 2nd?

Need Coleman to be traded now as well. Don't wait for him to hopefully have as good of a year as this next season

[Toonage]

Took an hour to eat, chill and hopefully be less petulant to people who really don’t deserve it. Needless to say the trade and the time leading up to it irked me.

Whitecloud will probably be loved during his time here. I’m unconvinced they’ll flip him, instead I could see Weegar (who is having an awful time of late) moved to the left side. But Whitecloud will be a solid addition who will help fans miss Ras less.

That would take the immediate sting out of this.

I'm no expert, but this seems much better deal than either of those. Right?

Hague is younger than Whitecloud, but otherwise, they're close. So, the 2nd (maybe 1st) and Wiebe are big increases.

Also, people saying the Carlo deal last year was way better than this, but the return was a 1st a year in the future, a 4th, and Minten. Doesn't seem like a huge improvement over what Conroy got today.

Why, because I said it was a great post? It wasn't sarcastic and was out of thanks so I quoted it.

Yes. We could have three of their 1sts in a row.

[Jetfire]

I'm whelmed. Wanted a first for the scouts to work with, which they got. Always liked Whitecloud, but ehh, not how I envisioned getting him. A conditional 2nd is nice too. The package is certainly better than Hanifin's, but still it's about what you get without an extension. Andersson didn't handcuff them, at least he was consistent in turning down everyone that was bidding with the intent to test free agency. If Vegas manages to sign him it just means they stabbed another one of their good players in the back to get the money, don't know why players are so high on that organization.

[Roko]

I’m rooting for Vegas to miss playoffs this year still. I’m fine with the 2nd. I’d love for them to fall off.

[dammage79]

Ppl trying to downplay this as a rental package. We know it's not a rental, he's going to sign there in a month or less.

[My2Cents]

If Vegas doesnt sign him and he goes to free agency... this trade looks even better.

And 5 consecutive years of two picks in the first round.
