With the trade deadline only 8 days away and no legitimate thread devoted to it. I decided that we could start keeping track of the actual trades that have taken place. No rumors here just correct information.

Let's start again. This is where all announced trades from now until the deadline will be reported and discussed.

 

If you don't like it... :nana:

 

I will delete all the nonsense from this thread.

It's going to be a really short thread. :thumbsup:

Kunitz should help their scoring and, with Gonchar back, they won't miss Whitney too much. I'd say that they Penguins just got better. Bad for us.

 

I'd have to imagine that this increases the likelihood of Pronger being moved.

Glen Metropolit and Ossi Vaananen waived by Philly to make room for Danny Briere.

 

per TSN.

 

Metropolit has been playing well recently... I think they still have to move someone else to get under the cap for Danny's return.

Unless I am missing something, they didn't even have to move these guys for cap room. They currently have $13 million in LTIR cap cushion to cover Briere (12/3-end of season, currently), Hatcher (season), Rathje (season), Jones (10/9-12/21) and Parent (10/9-12/28). If they brought Danny back today, they would lose that bonus for the last 46 days of the season, which works out to about $1.7 million ($6.5 million * 46/186.) Currently, they have $2.86 in cap space (including the LTIR cushion.) So, if they brought back Briere, they should still have $1.1 million left. Both Briere and Timonen are returning to the lineup, which I thought might explain the move (i.e., they are coming off LTIR/IR and need the roster spots), but even with those two, they only have 23 players. Hmm ...

Steve Begin to Dallas for Doug Janik. Janik has trade value. Who knew?

I'm not sure what Montreal was thinking when they made this trade. Isn't Begin the kind of guy you would want on your team come playoff time? They trade him for a blueliner who will be your #7 or #8 guy(unless they are relying on Janik to be in their top 6 and if that is the case they are really in trouble).

to think we may been able to have this guy in place of Paetsch.

Waiving Metropolit? From what I've observed, he's normally a really decent player and not one that comes up in conversation as being "asleep at the wheel". I am a bit surprised at that.

 

Would it be worthwhile for us to pick him up, or would he put us over the cap?

I was cruising a Flyers board and I think someone mentioned he clears 1 million from their cap but I really don't know.

We have $5.7 million in cap space (see here) and prorated over the remaining 46 days of the season (out of 186 total), his cap hit would be about $253k. So, I think we'd be OK cap-wise. ;)

 

We don't have really have a roster spot for him, though, and are expecting guys back off of IR.

Blue, I haven't looked at the numbers, but could it be a salary dump to make room for Lecavalier?

What can I say other than it was worth a shot? :)

Begin has been a healthy scratch for the last five games and "quietly" approached management about getting moved to a team where he could play regularly (as reported in video on TSN.ca.) They also said that Janik will likely go down to the AHL.

Vinny has about $1.7 million left on his cap hit this season. Montreal has about $875k free and Begin's prorated cap loss is another $256k. They would still need to drop another $533k, which works out to a $2.2 million (season) cap player.

Tampa fans and corporate sponsors have spoken and Vinny's not going anywhere. Quite the uproar.

I thought this was a "just the facts" thread? There's a lot of nonsense that needs to be deleted!

Maybe we need a "Trade Announcements" thread and a "Trade Discussion" thread, so that the former is kept clean.
