Nyquist for retaining Orlov's salary.

Fair deal, MN is taking a flyer on an injured player that might help for the Playoffs. CBJ gets something for the injured pending UFA.

CBJ got something for an injured player who was walking, Minny gets a player who assuming he's healthy, will help their playoff run

Minnesota doing tidy work. Get 2 top 9 forwards with 2 mid tier picks. Great depth moves here.

A cash dump that large usually costs more than a 5th. Good job, Minnesota.

How does Columbus not win? They save cash dollars and Gus was never going to play another game for them

Bettman going to penalize the Wild worse than Parise and Suter's buyouts. This will be interesting.

I mean, Nyquist was hurt and walking, CBJ getting an asset for him makes it a win-win deal

I don't think this is nearly as controversial as some folks are making it out to be. Minny has the cap space this year, especially considering the salary retention, and are basically taking a flyer on an injured rental. Don't see this trade as anything more complicated than that.

MN still has ~$7m in deadline cap space with Nyqusit just on IR (not LTIR).

THIS IS A HUGE STEAL! We all know what Nyquist is capable of. Sure he's older now but man he can still contribute. I was expecting a decent package to get this guy, but wow what a low price to pay especially full retained! GM Hextall where tf are you?? Our penguins team could've used him for some scoring help.

I'd say it's fair. Isn't Nyquiost injured for a while though?

Did the NHL change the trade deadline date to today?

Bettman’s LTIR threat—essentially a midseason rule change with barely 72 hours remaining until the deadline—was wholly inappropriate and targeted. First, rule changes should be voted on, and in the off-season. This practice has been allowed for years. As for targeted, Nyquist and Henrique were the only impacted players, on losing teams in non-traditional, oft overlooked NHL markets. Avs we’re not warned about keeping Landeskog on LTIR until they need him for the playoffs, just like TBL has abused the spirit of the hard cap for years. The Rangers trading, waiving, and demoting players—even holding Kane’s placeholder to a 13-second shift so they could safely discard him today—was all done to manipulate the cap. Kudos to those teams; NHL rules have allowed it, NHL rules still allow it.

But by unfairly singling out the Ducks and Jackets, their assets took massive hits. The market shrunk to the few teams with excess cap. Ironically, the Wild’s irresponsible dual 13-year contracts left them in buyout purgatory, necessitating the buffer. And the edict struck any notion of making the pick conditional on Nyquist’s % of play or MIN’s progression, very common stipulations.

At the least, Nyquist should have netted a 4th round pick, escalating to a 3rd if he played X% of games. With the LTIR loophole and retained salary, he could have yielded even more.

Yes, CBJ received a pick for a pending FA. But it was artificially below value, while parting with an assistant captain that loved his time in Columbus.
