Trade Deadline 2016

[Gaucho]

6-3 Pens

[mikey]

Scuderi back to LA...? May be Justin Schultz retained...thought the Kings were searching for another RHS...

[Craig]

Just give him a right handed stick. I dont think it will affect his game at all.

[Gaucho]

Scuderi for Ehrhoff?

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Sounds like Christian Ehrhoff will be moving from LA to CHI. Not an official trade but likely to occur.

[mikey]

Yeah, this has been just waiting a sign-off for most of the afternoon, AIUI...not sure what the hold up is to be honest...

[DigitalGypsy66]

I still don't know how the Pens were able to trade Scuderi for a useable player. It boggles the mind. The Blackhawks aren't run by morons, either.

[mikey]

Twice now. Even though Ehrhoff cleared waivers, my expectation is that he plays regularly and well for Chicago...and that's with that extra year. Probably promised to retire or something...

[columbia]

Still not sure why the Pens passed on Ehrhoff. Oh well.

[mikey]

Source of the post not sure what the hold up is to be honest...

Bob knows of course...says the hold up is WRT to salary retention...

Hawks retaining 50% of their portion of Scuderi's contract (Pens had previously retained 33%) and LA is retaining 15% of Ehrhoff's contract

Good Lord, Chicago. Stop, haha.

[large garlic]

I just saw that latest Hawks trade too. Is that a ridiculously low price to pay for two serviceable top-9 forwards, or am I missing something? From what I could dig up in a minute or two of googling, Danault doesn't look like anything special, and a 2nd-rounder two years from now isn't anything to write home about.

[columbia]

Chicago really puts the Penguins non dynasty into perspective.

[MR25]

I have no idea how they are able to afford this.

Guess it helps that Cheveldayoff and Bergevin are both former Asst. GMs of the Hawks.

[iamjs]

I believe Montreal also retained salary on Weise.

[Tico Rick]

It boggles my mind that not one, but two teams thought it was a good idea to trade for Scuderi this year. And it boggle my mind that GMJR was able to get Daley for Scuderi.

[Craig]

Does it boggle your mind more that both of those teams have been consistently better than the penguins?

[Blue Canary]

I have no idea how they are able to afford this.

Collusion, in a way.

I'm half kidding. OTOH, I'm 100% sick of the $%#*@! Chicago Blackhawks.

[Gaucho]

To be fair, they traded not much at all for not much really.

[Gaucho]

Reimer to SJS

The Toronto Maple Leafs sent the goaltender, along with forward Jeremy Morin to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for goaltender Alex Stalock, forward Ben Smith and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

You know it's a major trade when 2018 picks are involved.

[Gaucho]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
Jiri Hudler to Florida in exchange for a 2016 2nd-rounder and a 2018 4th-round pick

[mikey]

That's a little light I feel like...i'm not Hudler's biggest fan as he is just about the worst skating top six forward in the NHL...but still, surprised they couldn't get a little better, not much, but a little...

[iamjs]

Is there a limit to how far out you can trade your trade picks? I thought it was only two years, but with all of these 2018 picks flying, I'm beginning to wonder what the rule is.

[mikey]

Well, considering you can give four 1st round picks for an offer sheet, you know it's at least that far. I believe a 1993 1st was included in the Gretzky trade from 8/9/88.

I don't think there's any limit, but at the same time, picks decrease in value the further out they are...plus, at 5 and 6 years out, how do you know you'll still be employed to use them...?
