Franchise NHL: Completed Transactions / Re: Hurricane/Lightning deal
« on: September 20, 2014, 12:24:14 AM »sends:makes this deal mainly to gain another $2m in cap, while not dropping $2m in productivity. If Schenn > Faulk it isnt by $2m (insert 2nd rd pick here)..although we like Faulks long term upside much better than Schenn anyway & at 22yrs old he is an excellent fit for the diaper dandy Bolts.
Justin Faulk, $3.9m (2013-2016)
sends:
Luke Schenn, $5.8m (2012-2016)
2nd
Daddy was looking to save a couple bucks however he could so he approached me about swapping dmen. I feel that Faulk has more value long term then Schenn because of their place on their team's depth chart, the amount of ice time the players get, and the fact that Schenn has proven to be inconsistent, so I asked for the pick that comes back be his second in what looks to be a very deep draft next year. He agreed so here we are. This deal also helps to diversify the team; as 1/6th of my team is on the Hurricanes in real life.
Thanks for the quick deal, Daddy.
Tampa is very young, but if we realize some of this potential we can make a strong push for a long time.
Thanks Favo, & good luck with the Canes
