Car acquires: T.Teravainen & Bryan Bickell | Chi acquires: 2nd in '16, 3rd in '17

The Blackhawks dump the BIckell deal at the cost of Teravainen for draft picks. Another offseason, another cap purge by the Hawks...

How are we gonna do the offseason in NPR? Different threads for everything? Megathread? Does it matter?

That seems like a pretty big cost just to get rid of Bickell's salary. Teravainen has a lot of upside, doesn't he?

Wow... I've liked everything I've seen from Teravainen and he's only 21. Incredible.

Oh, and we'd prefer separate threads for interesting moves like this, but in NPR, you guys can have at it and do what you want. We'll have separate threads for transactions in the Penguins section for sure.

He has mild upside yeah. Probably 2nd line upside...

I'm not wild about him. He might end only be a high-end third liner...nothing "special" or anything I don't think...Carolina becoming Team Finland? Saarela-Teravainen-Aho...?

Those big deals finally kick in for Chicago?

Wow, Bickell has a M-NTC and yet he was still traded!!! I guess that puts a big kabosh on the people that like to toss their hands up and say "but he has a NTC so he cant be traded" /sarcasm

Chicago only has $9M in space with only 7 forwards signed.

He was also stuffed in the minors unceremoniously...

I read that as "cat acquires" ... figures.

man, Chicago really has their hands tied with their cap situation.

Teravainen probably does''t have the highest upside, but the Pens just won a cup based on forward depth.

If I were them, I would've tried to dump Crawford first

Who would want Crawford?

Nobody wants a 'meh' goalie for that kind of cash.

How do you know that they didn't? They may have called every team in the league about Crawford.

Crawford has one more cup than Murray and MAF.

Post by **Silentom** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 8:30 am

I can't wait for Crawford to get traded and turn into a steaming pile of suck.
