Winnik traded to Washington

[bustaheims]

Better than Clarkson?

Better contract, actually somewhat useful, and potentially salvagable. So, yes.

 

[ZBBM]

Sounds like a great trade to me. Successful. Maybe even overwhelming.

A deal so nice, you said it twice!!!

It's only fitting. We've traded Winnik for a seemingly overwhelming return twice.

It's kinda crazy that in 114 games Winnik has netted Toronto two 2nd rounders, a legit RH D prospect in Carrick and Martin Marincin.

Let's do it again in 2017 Danny boy.

 

[Highlander]

This makes the Reimer deal a lot less bitter, this is one great trade. I understand with Reims they had to go to clear the space to get some playing time for Sparks and Bibs.
Lou can replace Batista in RF, as he is hitting almost everything out of the park.

It's only fitting. We've traded Winnik for a seemingly overwhelming return twice.

Dude, it's a low second and a low-key prospect in exchange for eating ugly money next year.

You may need more whelm.

Too much hyperbole, I guess. It's ugly money, but not exactly a problem for our situation.

So that's 13 picks as of now for 2016? I think that ties the record.

 

[Highlander]

wait till 3PM

Still 12. One in, one out with this deal.

Should still be 12.

-5th/+2nd

Currently, we have all of our original 7 picks including the following extras:
1: Pit's* from Kessel deal
2: Was' from Winnick deal
3: NJD's 3rd via Pit's form Kessel deal
4: Col's from Matthias deal
6: St.L's from Jokinen deal

 

[Tigger]

Right, thanks guys. I seem to recall the record for a single season draft is 13, is that right?

Correct.

 

[Highlander]

lets break that record today!

 

[lamajama]

I hope that except like last year, where they dropped in the draft to get MORE picks that maybe they can package some to
move UP. Kind of what they did here with giving a 5th to help get the 2nd.

 

[hockeyfan1]

This seems like a bit of a steal. Caps must've been pretty eager to shed Laich and get Winnik.

Leave it to Lou to pull magic out of a hat.

 

[Joe S.]

I pulled magic out of a hat once. It burned like hell.

 

[Kin]

I meentioned it when the trade went down but I do feel for the guy a little:

Brooks Laich says trade gave him "empty feeling"
