Philly & Preds Trade

[PsychoticPondGoons]

Philly greases the squeaky trade wheels again and makes a deal with Nashville to accomplish a few goals: save cap, get a chance to draft a young high potential prospect with a high 2nd round pick.

Traded to
D Matt Niskanen, $5.5m (2014-2018)

Traded to
D Stephen Johns, $1.5m (2016-2019)
Round 2 - 2017  (from *; via ; originally )
Cap saved = 4.0m

Niskanen is superior as a defenseman in every way compared to Johns, except for 1 area, age. Johns is 24. Niskanen is 30. Johns is ahead of the 24yo version of Niskanen. Add that to a high 2nd pick while saving $4.0 million bucks, Priceless!

Thanks BB!

Preds agree to this deal
We are getting a Top 15 D thrown our way. Not going to turn that down even though we really like Johns.

Given the difference in age, salary, production and assets exchanged this is a balanced trade for the two teams.

I like what the Flyers get out of this deal.

[PigsRule]

PPG we can also say Niskanen is 30 and in his prime so that kills your 1 pt. So it boils down to cap savings because the 2nd rounder isnt much incentive to deal a top 13 Dman in FNHL.
