Hearing Ondrej Kase being traded to Boston

Eric Stephens @icemancometh
Can confirm

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Assuming this gets finalized as expected, David Backes will be a piece of the package going back to ANA for Kase.

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Believe #nhlbruins are sending a first-round pick to #nhlducks, along with David Backes (1 year left at $6M) as part of deal for Ondrej Kase.

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Believe the full deal is Ondrej Kase to BOS for 1st-round pick, David Backes and prospect Axel Andersson.

Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
Also important to note: the Bruins are retaining 25 percent of Backes’ remaining contract. So the Ducks are only on the hook for about $3 M in real dollars next season on that contract.

oh piss off. I wanted him

[Bonded]

Interesting. Backes + 1st for Kase?

[getoverit]

Ugghhhhh

I suspect Brad was in the hunt on this one but it just did not make sense for the Flames. The one thing we know for sure is that he is looking around for deals that make sense.

Well....can't wait to find out who else we'll be close to landing but see go somewhere else.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I like Kase. At least he's going out East. Nice trade for the Bruins, the 1st stings but when you move a big contract you gotta pay for it.

Lol. Well in fairness I'm sure Anahiem is much happier sending this player outside of the division, so Brad would have likely had to pay a steeper price to land him would be my guess, to the point that it likely wouldn't make sense.

Boston is going to win the cup this year.

[topfiverecords]

Glad he's going out east and for a late first.

[Toonage]

This take the Bruins out of the Kreider sweeps?

Colorado it is then

[sureLoss]

Also a prospect going to the Ducks

Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
First round pick, David Backes and a prospect to Anaheim

Doesn’t sting at all. Basically a second round pick considering Boston’s ranking

There's also a chance that the Ducks didn't want to move him to a team in the West if offers they got were similar.

[Vansmack]

That seems like a pretty good deal for Boston. The leafs traded Marleau + Conditional 1st + 7th to Carolina for a 6th.

I'd put my money on Colorado, but of course it's tough to predict.

True, it will be a very late 1st. But it's a good draft year, that pick will still be a very good player.

[Vansmack]

I wonder if he dresses tonight for the Bruins.

Why are 1st round and 2nd round picks only super valuable assets around here if we are talking about the Flames picks? Another team gives up a first and everyone starts Seinfelding the assets: "we'll really it's more like a 2nd round pick than a first...........a 3rd actually if you look at it practically"
