EDM/NYI/NJ

[Edmonton Mike]

To Edmonton
Dion Phaneuf (78) at 50% salary ($3.25M)
NJ 5th 2023

To New Jersey
50% Dion Phaneuf salary ($3.25M)
TOR 3rd 2023

To New York
Jonathon Blum (71)
EDM 1st 2024


So I'm sending Blum and a 1st to NYI in return of Phaneuf, with NJ helping by taking 50% of his contract. For his generous sacrifice, NJ gets TOR's 3rd and I get his 5th.

I like Blum, but I need a shutdown guy and I'm saving $1.15M which can be helpful come trade deadline.

Thanks gentlemen!

Agreed. Taking on short term cap for future growth in terms of draft pick value.

confirm - Blum has another year on contract and the 1st helps with the rebuild - might move it.
