Lost picks in Forbort trade - pick
Added picks in Frolik trade + pick
Added picks in Neal trade + pick
Lost picks in Fantenburg trade - pick

That takes us back to the beginning of the 2018-19 season or three years.

+ 6 picks
- 3 picks (4 with today)
+ prospect

Net assets +4

How dare you refute illogical outrage with actual facts disputing same.
HOW DARE YOU!

Decent trade. Can live with it. Wish it was for an asset with some term. Hate giving away picks for one year of a player.

[1qqaaz]

Oh, a 4th is fine.
I'm sure many of us will like Pitlick under Sutter.

Like Lanny_McDonald said, it would be nice if there was some term so this wasn't a 1-year rental.
If they can add another year or two, it'll look better.

In 2020 they drafted 8 times, in 2019 five times, and in 2018 five times (and none before the 4th round). So they’re down 3 picks. 2021 draft hasn’t happened yet, so still plenty of time for more picks to be moved out.

This is the side deal.

Bingo doesn’t like sarcasm on his site. Please control yourself.

[djsFlames]

If they liked pitlick this much to pursue him, they must've done their homework and got Sutter approval.

For a 4th I'll give it a chance. If the price was any higher I wouldn't like it.

It'd be worthwhile if it was funny or clever, instead of sounding like a bunch of Smack-Off rejects who were never good enough to make the air.

Oh, another sarcastic comment about the process. Very original. Very cool. I am entertained.

[Reggie Dunlop]

So bad even an expansion team didn't want him.

I just see these moves really myopic. Individually many of them have seemed fine initially but at the end of the day none of them have moved the needle at all. And the team is ultimately left spinning it's wheels once again. Which describes Treliving's tenure here pretty well.

Please combine 224 and 203 above then subtract below.

No, he is a good PKer who was on a lousy PK team last year

[Vinny01]

So Calgary technically made the first ever trade with Seattle and gave them their best player in the expansion draft. We are so welcoming

[Coach]

I don't love it just because it likely comes at the cost of having that spot taken by a younger player with more potential to become something better.

[dammage79]

4th in 22? Perfectly okay. I really feel like ppl can put down the pitchforks and torches. It's a nothing trade and a pick easy to recoup.
