    Guessing liked what they saw with Ozzy and have him under contract for another year. Egor had struggled when called up and probably wanted more cash than what we wanted to spend. Plus guess he probably had KHL offers too.

    Ya lets trade prospect for guy who has fewer points in his entire AHL career than Afanasyev had this past season. Poile’s biggest flaw was giving up on young forwards too early (see Kevin Fiala, Eeli Tolvanen and Ryan Hartman). Trotz seems to be doing the same thing.

    Goddammit Barry. I really liked Ozzy and wanted to keep him but I love Egor more. RIP the Russian bromance with Asky and Svech 🥺

    Wait for more details to emerge before saying we got fleeced. I trust Trotz.

    Someone tell me how Cole smith deserved a roster spot and not him

    lol yikes. 10 goals in the last 2 seasons in the AHL while Egor had 27 this season alone lol. What a terrible trade

  7. This just hurts however I think it’s best for EGOAT as he will definitely get some time in the NHL next season and he probably wouldn’t have gotten any meaningful time in Nashville to develop more. I’m just not sure Ozzy is a good return. He didn’t stand out much to me

    This is a bad trade. However, Ozzy looked good with the Ads even though the stats don’t show it.

    There’s something we don’t know, because otherwise this doesn’t make sense.

     Trading away a homegrown productive player, physical with size and scoring touch, who is still young and could slot into the top 6, doesn’t make sense. 

    Maybe he was frustrated with the organization :/

    All the talk was that Parsinnen, Tomasino and Egor will lose their waivers exemptions this next season and was that they realistically could only keep two of the RFA forwards. Guess they are rolling with Parsinnen and Tomasino, not in love with keeping Parsinnen over Egor but hopefully Barry knows best.
