I’m not as well versed in hockey as other sports but wouldn’t trading someone weeks after signing them to an extension be a huge no-no (like ruin relationships with agent(s) and the reputation of a front office)? Or am I completely off base here?
July 2018 NHL News
- Thread starter MiracleOfO2704
- Start date
I've watched limited amounts of Sergachev, but based on what I've seen and his underlying numbers, I think he's going to be a star. As a fan of a TB rival, I'm hoping Sergachev is part of this deal. I think he'll be more valuable over his next contract than Karlsson will be.
It's uncommon, but it's happened before.
- Kyle Turris was traded 6 games after ending his holdout in '11-'12, signing a 2 year RFA deal before Phoenix sent him to Ottawa
- Dave Scatchard was signed to a 4 year deal by the Bruins coming out of the lockout, and got dealt 16 games into the year for David Tanabe (this one's more egregious IMO given he was a long-term UFA signing)
- Tyler Seguin was signed to an extension by the Bruins, but was traded before it even started
- Marian Hossa was signed to a 3 year deal by Ottawa as an RFA, and moved that week for Dany Heatley IIRC
True - though that NMC kicked in beginning July 1 of his second year of the extension, so he was already on the new contract for about a year
Every time I think about that Subban trade I just shake my head. Especially now that Weber has a bum knee.
I misunderstood then about the timing of the NTC. Still, he was traded 1 year after signing an 8 year extension. Not exactly the condition you were looking for, but close.
Sounds like a multiplayer deal between Chicago and Arizona is about to go down, with Hossa and Vince Hinostraoza going to Arizona. Here's the full trade:
Nice offseason for the Coyotes. Convinced OEL and Hjalmarsson to stay, flipped Domi for Galchenyuk, added Grabner on a reasonable deal in UFA and picked up a couple of useful depth players in Hinostroza and Oesterle in the Hossa dump today.
Cody Ceci asked for $6m in arbitration
Looks to potentially be a ploy to get the contract above the $4.22m walkaway threshold and have the Sens grant his UFA rights

So I guess this reaffirms your post about the game plan for RFAs to get out of that Ottawa dumpster fire is to ask for enough if arbitration that the team may walk away? I think you’re on to something here.
For Stone I doubt they'd walk away, he's good enough to have trade value on a 1 year, $8m deal - Ceci at $5m+ probably isn't
Skinner got moved to Buffalo for Cliff Pu (3rd rounder in '16, still in the OHL this past year at age 19-20), a 2nd, 3rd, and 6th round picks.
I get that he only had one year left but that's an awful return for Carolina

They would’ve been better off keeping him and dealing him at the deadline. Guess they just decided he had to go no matter what?
Buffalo can put Skinner with Eichel, then pump and dump at the deadline if they’re out of it.

Word is Skinner vetoed 'several' deals as he had an NMC. He's from Markham, near Toronto, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
