Oh oh look who Tampa has pulled off ice tonight
“Sure looks like Koekkoek and Dotchin will be scratched, neither on ice for warmups. Conacher not here too. TB Lightning”
Conacher would be a sweet pick up I’d think

Puck Daddy—
I truly, dearly, honestly and sincerely feel terrible for what Senators fans are going through right now. This is a waking hockey nightmare.
Some of those packages are about the same price that Sens paid for Duchene, EK is arguably the 3rd best player in the game and if that’s the cost u can see why I’ve been so against what Dorian paid for Duchene. I can’t believe Karlsson is as good as gone

Oduya scratched today because a trade is in the works....
Series of tweets from Bobby Mac this morning breaking down what happened:
I think I, finally, understand the breakdown of the three-way OTT-VGK-PIT trade from yesterday that was initially rejected by the league. If that is the case — me actually understanding it — the final approved deal started with Tobias Lindberg...
PIT sent its third-round pick in 2019 to VGK for minor-league player Tobias Lindberg. That, I believe, was the first deal officially done. If it wasn’t the first deal, it was certainly the most important one for getting the other deals approved.
Once VGK were in possession of PIT 3rd round pick in 2019, it could be traded to OTT for Derick Brassard.
As soon as Brassard ended up in VGK, the Knights could then retain 40 per cent of his salary and trade him to PIT for Ryan Reaves and VAN 4th round pick (owned by PIT) in 2018. VGK and PIT had been talking this past week about a Reaves deal.
The final piece of the puzzle was then PIT sending its 2018 1st round pick and goaltending prospect Filip Gustavsson to OTT for OTT 3rd round pick in 2018 and minor league player Vincent Dunn.
In the first go-round, which was rejected by the league, as I understand it, Ottawa wasn’t receiving anything tangible from VGK for Brassard. That necessitated coming up with the Lindberg trade between PIT and VGK and PIT 3rd round pick in 2019 as currency for Brassard.
That additional cost for PIT likely meant the PIT-OTT deal involving Gustavsson and PIT 1st round pick in 2018 had to be re-jigged a little from what it originally looked like. But it appears the Lindberg transaction was the catalyst to getting all four separate deals approved.
So I guess it was a good thing that they left Tampa and Dumont out of this.

Ok, so let's see...
To OTT: Gustavsson, Cole, 2019 3rd round pick To PIT: Brassard, Dunn, 2018 3rd round pick, and Lindbergh from VGK To VGK: Ryan Reaves, 4th round pick
Vegas retains 40% of Brassard's salary
I THINK that's everything
Hey, what happened to that Pittsburgh #1 pick
My bad, we get the 2018 first round pick as well
Shame we couldn't get Tampa involved and get Dumont back
There's still hope.

It's a good question, though. What did Vegas get out of this that makes that kind of extra salary worth it for them?

So my question...why would Vegas take money on Brassard and help Pittsburgh? It appears otherwise, Brassard was heading to a western team, VGK got involved to keep him in the east. As I was told “Better to face him in round 4 than 2.”
