LW Cory Conacher, $0.2m (P-14/15)
RW Ales Hemsky, $1.1m (2015-2016)
C Jordan Schroeder, $m (P-15/16)
receives:
D Zdeno Chara, $6.9m (2017-2018)
5m this year
confirms this deal. Well, this is really just to load up for a run this year. I don't love Chara and his age, but he plays on a great team, and still gets top PP time. His contract is terrible, but hopefully he has another great 2 years, and retires!
And I get 5m this year to help out with that!
I am high on Conacher, and think he has a great upside. Schroeder also has a pretty high ceiling. Hemsky looked great with his new team at the end of the year. But, story told, I move 2 role players and a high end spec for an old, high-priced, but proven defense-man.
Thanks Gilly as always for the deal!
