NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

TRADE ALERT

The Nashville Predators have acquired defenseman Jeremy Lauzon from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2022 second-round pick, the Predators announced Sunday.

Lauzon, 24, carries a cap hit of $850,000 and can be an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent this offseason. He's logged one goal and five assists in 53 games this season while averaging almost 18 minutes of ice time per contest.

The 6-foot-1 blue-liner led all Kraken skaters with 176 hits, and he saw the fourth-most shorthanded ice time in Seattle.


A second-round selection of the Boston Bruins in 2015, Lauzon can add to the Predators' depth on defense. He was the Kraken's choice from the Bruins in the expansion draft.

Lauzon has skated in 13 career playoff games, all with Boston.

The Kraken have been busy leading up to Monday's trade deadline, also shipping off Mark Giordano and Colin Blackwell to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Seattle now holds five of the first 64 picks in the upcoming NHL draft.

A second for this scrap. What is Poile thinking?

He's only 24 and a big body not to mention he carries a cap hit of less than 1M, so this deal is not bad by all accounts

TRADE ALERT

The Winnipeg Jets dealt defenseman Nathan Beaulieu to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional seventh-round pick, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

Beaulieu is on long-term injured reserve and hasn't played since March 4.

The 29-year-old has been limited to 24 games this season. He's collected four points - all assists - while averaging a career-low 10:46 of ice time.

He’ll probably be on LTIR until the playoffs so he won’t count against the cap.
Maybe Pettersson is getting traded.

They are saying he's an RFA too so that is worth something I guess. They waived Phillipe Myers to Milwaukee yesterday.

I wouldn't mind moving Petterson. Pens have to make a significant move today though if they want to compete with other contenders in the East.

Fleury to the Wild

Maybe lost in the shuffle of the trade deadline, but Carey Price has been practicing in full gear with the team since Friday. Probably a little while to go still, but an actual start this season is looking possible.

I’m just following this thread. I get the news from all networks fast that way.

TRADE ALERT

The Minnesota Wild dealt goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen and a fifth-round draft pick to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenseman Jacob Middleton, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

More to come.

Looks like the Kraken are just going to trade all of their expansion picks

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

Burke is pretty much saying the Pens aren’t doing much.

Mojo back to the Caps. I don’t know about this one. He was fairly productive when he was lined up with Eberle and McCann. Hopefully Francis knows what he is doing.

You belong among the Wild, Flower.
