Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

This trade is weird...

The 10th place team in the conference trades for an expiring 2nd line centre? Vancouver takes on a protected 1st and a 3rd liner making 4.15 for this season and next (before expiring as a UFA).

What is the point for either of them? Surely Vancouver could have gotten a slightly lesser 1st rounder but with other assets that will actually be useful in a rebuild?
 
Fwiw, Aatu Raty is a 20 yr old centre putting up .6ish ppg in the AHL this season after a near PPG season in Liiga at 19. So he's not a non prospect.

This makes a bit more sense now for Vancouver I guess. Which means that it makes less sense for NYI unless they're intent on having every bad contract in the league once they sign Horvat to his pending 8x8 extension.
 
UNBLOCK JER-BEAR!!
