Just heard Kapi was traded to Pittsburgh, not sure of anything as yet but looks like we get 15th 1st round pick and some Kapi space.

You mean Robertson? I'll be shocked if he's not with the club. i think Barbanov will be as well and possibly Lehtonen . There will be other moves coming and I think TJ Brodie is a strong possibility. I'm sure they'll look at Pietrangelo as well to see if that can fit.Hobbes said:Very pleased with the return on this deal. We needed to move out salary and as good as Kappy has been he just doesn't slot in as a top 6 forward with us so he makes the most sense to move for value. Getting a mid-1st is a very nice surprise and it sounds as though Hallander has some bottom-6 potential. Looks as though the 3rd line wing spot is now Richardson's to lose.
I didn't hear that but if the right D man were to be made available, I'm sure they'd use the pick if needed.Bates said:Dudas seemed to allude to the possibility that he would not be using this pick when he spoke today. Guessing he has more irons in the fire.

Woops...senior's moment. Yes, Robertson. I'd be shocked too, although he's one of those odd ones who can't play in the AHL due to his age so he either has to win a roster spot (and not 13th man duties...he needs development) or he has to be sent back to Junior which I presume won't help him in the slightest.Guilt Trip said:You mean Robertson?

What exactly do you like about Filip Hallander?
Dubas: He is a player that, going back to the draft, he was rated near the top of our board when we picked in the second round. We selected Sean Durzi and then Pittsburgh selected him the pick right after if my memory serves me correctly. He was right there for us. We were kind of hoping he would fall to the next pick we had gotten in a previous trade.
The things that we like about him as a player: Extremely intelligent, very competitive, and has shown very well playing in the Swedish Elite League on a very good team and program. We are excited for him. He will certainly add to our depth in our prospect pool up front. We are really excited to add Filip today.
