The return is a fourth round draft pick in 2023.
Updating our trade deadline tracker:
- outgoing: Claude Giroux, Justin Braun, Derick Brassard, Connor Bunnaman, German Rubtsov, 5th round pick (2024)
- incoming: 3rd round pick (2023), 4th round pick (2023), Owen Tippett, top-10 protected 1st round pick (2024), 3rd round pick (2023)
That’s… uhhh.. not exactly amazing, but we’re talking about moving three guys who were going to walk anyway, two guys who weren’t ever gonna be regular NHL players, and a 5th rounder two years from now. The return isn’t exciting, but it’s a return nonetheless. These are actual assets.
The choice here was something or nothing. Would you prefer to get something for these guys, or would you prefer nothing? So it goes.
