What in the hell is going on.

 

[bustaheims]

Don’t love this one. Understand it but don’t love it.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

This felt inevitable. He wasn't playing in the top-6 and the 3rd line needed a different look.

 

[rdowdall]

This is a weird deal. Don't love the return.

 

[L K]

He clearly didn't like how he was treated the last few years. I still think this is kind of a mistake walk-in g from both Macelli and Robertson

Especially if you have to give up Knies and/or Cowan in another trade to improve the defence.

For Nick and his career, it is probably a good thing. He can crack a top 6 somewhere in the NHL which is where his talent always belonged.
I know he got his chances but there was always something missing with them - just a feeling.
The injuries ...
The toilet seat seasons where he was up and down using his waiver exemption to help his team fit players onto the roster.
I will ALWAYS respect him for the effort he gave. He always seem to give it his best.
Many times after they sat him out, he answered with a goal.
Good luck to him.
I'll be pulling for him against the other 30 teams.

I like the idea of nic Robertson. I liked his effort. But his career screams wellwood to me.

DUBAS!!!!

 

[Guilt Trip]

Good luck to him in Pitt.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Only a fourth?

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Chayka just got Dubased.

 

[Joe S.]

I honestly don't understand the reaction. Haven't they essentially made him available for 2+ years and had no interest league wide?

 

[herman]

This is fine. He had no shot at top 6 minutes with Knies, McKenna, Cowan, and bigger/better defensive wingers available on the roster. Better than when Treliving let Holmberg walk.

**UPDATE**

Dubas got Chayka'd

Penguins fans are even more irate than Leaf fans about the trade.

Wes Clark gets his boy back, so they’re happy in the front office.

His brother, a RFA, allegedly turns down $120M in a trade to Seattle.
Nick, a RFA, gets traded for a 2028 4th round pick.
I feel for his parents trying to make sense of all of this to Nick.
I know, I know, they get paid big bucks ... etc

"Nicky, your brother has ALWAYS been better than you, at like, everything"

Lots of people giving Chayka leash but this return and the one for Carlo aren't great.
