[Trade] Arizona trades Vermette to Chicago for 2015 1st and Dahlbeck

[PeteLFan]

Arizona wins this one hands down, Vermette is not worth a 1st round pick and a NHL ready prospect.

It would be nice if we could also get a 1st for Glencross

Pretty confident we can get one of TB's 1st rounders for him. Would still be pleased if we get a 2nd and a prospect. A return like this for Glenny would be a home run.

Centers tend to command a higher return then a winger, I would not expect the same return for Glencross. A 2nd and a prospect or an NHL D man would be good in my books. Actually I think he should be moved no matter what the return is, just Cammalleri should have been last year.

I would also say that three of his teams are not as interested anymore leaving Nas, TB, and Wash as potentila trading partners.

Man I want a guy named Klas Dahlbeck on my team.

Intriguing. I didn't know much about Vermette and yet here he is being traded for a 1st +.

Not a good trade for Chicago IMO. Their odds of winning the championship without Kane are small (and anything less meaningless), so a first for a rental is IMO just throwing away a pick.

Vermette is a centre who is one of the stronger ones in the dot and can play all three positions and can skate like the best in the game... I'm not saying he is a stud but he is extremely valuable especially since he is in his prime.

CHI has been looking for a 2nd line center for ages. This isn't a loss for CHI. Kane being out muddies the water on that debate, I will admit, but either way it is better to bet on a player who can play top 6 (2nd line), while in their prime, while you have a chance to compete. If they are a center with versatility, even better. Yes a 1st looks bad ,this year especially, but in all reality, outside the top 10, the draft is a guessing game.

With the cap issues this team will face next year it's best to go for a Cup while they can, even if Kane is on the sidelines for 2 or so rounds..

Starting to get a little worried that Glencross is still on the table and a a few teams we thought were in the hunt seem to have done their shopping, nervous times. I hope Burke doesn't pull another Cammy.

Surprised he got a comparable return to what Iginla got last year. Edit: two years ago
