New York -- Washington

[CapsGM]

To New York:
Vitaly Karamnov [22]

To Washington:
Zachery "James" Franko [40]

Simple low-risk/low-reward potential CON boost swap that fulfills my ulterior motive to clear a roster spot in Hershey.

I mean, simple low-risk/low-reward potential CON boost swap. Thanks Pat.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

I approve of this deal.

Like Tim said, low-risk etc. If Karamnov boosts, he becomes (kinda) useful. If not, he fills a role in Connecticut. Hey, bring some chocolate with you, Vitaly!

[Virtual Jarmo]

Approved.

Good luck, guys.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Inputted. No luck gents.

I'm beginning to think CON boost trades are an urban legend.

Now 0-for-4 in con boosts. I have seen them, but maybe the con needs to be lower to start with?

Doesn't get much lower than 22.

I always thought the max for a CON boost trade was 40, though I could be wrong. Might be 50.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

I don't know for certain, but I always thought 50 was the cut-off, both for boosting and for busting (if signed). And the lower the con, the better the chance for boosting.

[Montreal Canadiens]

yeah, 50 is the cut off.
