Canes Fling Pu at the Panthers

[GASabresIUFAN]

Our friend Cliff Pu is on he move again.  The top prospect in the Skinner deal has been traded to the Panthers for Future Considerations.

Further proof the Don Waddell is the worst GM in NHL history outside TM, Button and Milbury.

Leafs get Baptiste from Preds. Not much movement but 3 of our recent prospects traded.

It's a weird trade:

Pu to the Panthers from the Canes for considerations.

There's also

Tomas Jurco to the Canes from the Panthers for considerations.

So basically Jurco for Pu?  Plus some later adjustment?

I guess it all depends on how the Pu comes out.

Yeah, it's a funny deal, it seems like both teams couldnt agree what both players were worth, but determined they were worth each other?

[Doohicksie]

No, the future considerations means that they're *not* worth each other but they wanted to move them, get the other guy back and agreed to disagree on the sweeteners until some point in the future.

Proof that Murray was awful and most of the old prospects were busts, although Bailey is playing for Philly at the moment, but doing nothing.  

[dudacek]

Baptiste and Bailey were Darcy picks.

You are both right....unfortunately!  Years of combined bad drafting between them and now here we are trying to recover with GMJB

I’ve said for years our failure to produce players outside the 1st rd during this rebuild would and has come back to bite us.  TB is so good because they consistently find players throughout the draft.  They have 7 current roster players drafted in the 2nd rd or later since 2011 plus Killorn a 3rd in 2007.  They are rookies Cirelli (3rd 2015), Joseph (4th 2015), Point (3rd 2014), Erne (2nd 2013), Paquette (4th 2012), Palat (7th 2011), Kucherov (2nd 2011).  They also have star UFA from the Q Yanni Gourde signed in 2012.

We have 2 players after the 1st rd since 2011.  McCabe (2nd in 2012) and Ullmark (6th in 2012).  That’s it

Perhaps.  At this point, it's part of my general lexicon.  Not sure of the origin.
