2017-18 Minor Transactions Thread

[bustaheims]

A couple small deals to start the thread:

TBLightning: We have acquired goaltender Louis Domingue from Arizona in exchange for Michael Leighton and Tye McGinn. tbl.co/moves11-14

TSNHockey: #TradeCentre ALERT: @EdmontonOilers acquire F Mike Cammalleri from @LAKings in exchange for F Jussi Jokinen: bit.ly/2z2Nr1u pic.twitter.com/XunucQFRcp

Does it have to just be trades? Montreal picked up Niemi off waivers.

We used to also do a waivers thread, but, sure, minor transactions it is.

 

[groundskeeper willie]

Cammalleri being traded for Jokinen only getting mentioned under the minor transactions thread makes me feel old.

It can't be that long ago that this would have been a major deal, can it? Maybe I don't want the answer to that.

One of these blurred together days included NJ picking up Lack from Calgary:

PierreVLeBrun: Anthony Duclair headed to the Blackhawks. Apparently he's on a plane so hasn't been informed yet.

PierreVLeBrun: Believe the trade is: Panik and Dauphin for Duclair and Clendening.

PierreVLeBrun: No salary retained in the trade

PierreVLeBrun: Hawks and Coyotes make the four-player trade official. As stated above.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I know Duclair's value has plummeted since he reached the NHL, but that seems like a great deal for Chicago.

Dumping Panik's contract and picking up a guy with Duclair's potential definitely tilts things in their favour at first blush. Dauphin is an interesting prospect, though, and he could help even things out a lot.

Grabner to NJ for 2nd and prospect.

The Oilers have traded someone named Brandon Davidson to the Islanders for a 3rd round pick.

I am deleting Sportsnet Alerts from my phone.

Originally drafted by the Oil...traded to the Habs for Desharnais...waived by the Habs...claimed by the Oil and now off to the Island. Looks like a minor league player. 3rd seems high

That's some great asset management by the Habs.

Letestu ends in Columbus after a sorta 3-way trade:

Kypreos really needs to work on his tweeting skills.

Pontus Aberg is a terrific name.

 

[Captain Canuck]

Bruins have signed Brian Gionta for the rest of the season.

Pontus Aberg is a terrific name.

His nickname is "Pilot."

I was going to joke about how dumb this is... but he did score 35 points last season for the Sabres. That's not awful. Could still be a decent 12/13th forward I guess.

It sounded like Chris Kelly might be signing with the Ducks, now that one is dumb.

Apparently Ray Ferraro was going on about how bad Gionta looked at the Olympics. Might have been on OverDrive

That'd be surprising because he was defending him on twitter.

Maybe it was someone else. I recall the comment was about how slow he looked out there after someone made a comment that the Bruins might sign him. The effect of they must not be watching the same games...either way it wasn't a glowing report for him.
