2014 1st Rounder (VAN)
Josh Leivo


To Buffalo:
David Clarkson
Jason Demers
Brock McGinn



edit - jason demers, not josh demers

nice catch Matt

[Bruyns]

Confirmed

Guess I have to stop hating on Clarkson so much now. He can't be any worse than last year I hope.

[kyuss]

wow, why not shopping such a high pick on draft day to get something better than the overpaid Clarkson?

meanwhile, it's like Steve is replacing both Scott and Shiv these days

[Lee]

And this is why we never talk to Steve about who are are drafting

[Chuck Norris]

Fair deal. Love what Matt is doing. Clarkson will rebound, he's too hood not to.

dont be a cheap bastard = get deals done

seems to be a fairly easy concept that some of you have a hard time with. Seems like all the guys who complain are often the hardest to trade with as well. Maybe change how you approach a deal and you'll get more PMs?


i'm also not bickering after this comment, so you and your cheap buddies who drive up the price on every player on your roster can go full blown attack on me if you wish, this will be the end of my rant.

[Bruyns]

I've shopped the pick for a while and like both demers and Clarkson. 2 decent players for the pick has been much better than anything I've been offered. Clarkson also fits well with the team I'm building and I prefer McGinn over Leivo.

I didn't think I'd be offered 2 good players for the pick on draft day since I think there are 4 guys who will be gone that I wanted and wasn't going to risk not getting an offer I preferred over this.

[kimmer]

I wud like this deal if the pick was 10th overall. But not for VANs 4th

[Nick]

I like this trade, for both parties.

it shows how steve is willing to take a deal on value even if it puts him over cap in the summer when it doesn't matter, knowing that he's still a piece worth having.


I also think Demers + Clarkson are worth having - and a reasonable price.

[thom54]

Clarkson will get his mins; golden contract in the early years.

I didn't remember a thread about that?
Nor I received any PM about the pick I think.
I also thought it was the 4th overall tbh (i guess it isn't because of gp minimum missed by Kareem).

[kimmer]

Just shut the fuck up mik. Ur so annoying

[kyuss]

just pass by my posts without reading Kim!

[Bruyns]

Check my trade block and ya its not 4th due to whatever penalty is coming. Just assuming it is likely one spot.

Apologies for not PMing you but it was an offer I didn't think would be beat since not many teams have depth to move 2 quality NHLers for a pick, but admittedly you would be one.

How long approximately before the CC hands down the punishments for not meeting GP etc?

Considering you played the 'cheap bastard' role in several of your last deals, this seems ironic more than fitting

[bma]

i actually like it for matt..

[Arian The Insider]

would like to know as well

[bills09]

Thought it was rape til I saw Demers
Fair deal

[Florida Chris]

Fair deal, I think Matt might of been able to squeeze a little more out of someone, if everyone knew the pick was just about to be traded.
