2:37 Trade Alert Top 6 Forward and Top 4 D-Men headed to Vancouver
Analysis: Arizona continues theirs roster overhaul as they give the Vancouver Canucks Oliver Ekman-Larsson with 12% salary retained and Pending RFA Conner Garland for Loui Eriksson, Jay Beagle, Antoine Roussel, the Canucks 1RD pick from today (#9 overall), and a 2RD and 7RD pick in 2022. For Arizona they are now able to pick in the First round tonight after they had to forfeit the 11th overall pick but can now find a great future player picking in the top 10, the 7RD is just draft capital while the 2RD pick now gives them five 2nd round picks in 2022. As for Beagle Roussel, and Eriksson they will all be bottom 6 Forwards with Arizona and all only have one year left on there deals with Eriksson having $6 Million and Beagle and Roussel having $3 Million. For Vancouver they get Garland who can play on the opposite side of Pearson on the second line after he gets a new contract as he had (12G-27A-39P) in 49 games, and OEL is going to be a gamble. With the 12% of salary retained his contract in Vancouver his actual cap hit is $7.62 Million and if he can be a solid top 4 D-Men playing behind Hughes on the 2ND pairing then it shouldn’t matter but if they can’t get Ekman-Larsson to fit with the team then they will have problems as he signed for 6 years and had (3G-21A-24P) in 46 games played
3:50 signing Alert Hall stays with Boston
Boston resigns Hall to a 4 year extension worth $6 Million to stay with the Bruins. Hall had regained his Hart Trophy winning form when he went to Boston and should remain on the second line with Craig Smith and David Krejci if they can sign him after he had (8G-6A-14P) in 16 regular season games with Boston and (3G-2A-5P) in 11 playoff games.
4:12 Blockbuster trade Alert Seth Jones goes to Chicago
Analysis: Seth Jones has been moved to Chicago along with the (#32 overall pick tonight and a 2022 6RD pick for Adam Boqvist, the (#12 overall pick tonight), the 2021 2RD Pick (#44 overall), and a conditional 2022 1RD pick. Seth Jones becomes the Blackhawks top defender on the team and will be the top right side D-Men maybe playing with Connor Murphy and UPDATE has signed a 8 year contract extension worth $76 Million with a AAV of $9.5 Million that will kick in after this year after having (2G-23A-28P) in 56 regular season games, they also don’t lose too much draft capital with the 2022 6RD pick and trading down 20 spots in the first round tonight. For the Blue Jackets trading up 20 picks this year and allowing them to pick twice in the top 15 is a big win, getting the #44 overall pick helps them get another pick in this years draft, the 2022 condition is if the Blackhawks win one of the 2 lottery picks in 2022 they instead get the 1RD pick in 2023, and Adam Boqvist is a young D-Men on the rise who can play the top pairing minutes jones was playing in Columbus and can be a big part of the Jackets future after having (2G-14A-16P) in 35 regular season games.
