Cgy’s 2021 1st ufa
SJ’s 2023 1st pp
Rationale...Doc approached me last week about Lankinen. I didn’t want to trade him because he was a key part of my plans going forward. Doc’s original offer was the Cgy 1st. I don’t need a high 1st this summer so I said no thanks. Doc kept circling back and yesterday got me to name a price for Lankinen. My ask was for the two 1sts that ended up in the final deal plus the NYR 2022 1st pp. Doc didn’t want to part with the the NYR 1st so we settled on the prospect upgrade as the middle ground. I see Lankinen as a top young goalie. He’s the major reason Chi is in a playoff spot at the moment rather than being a lotto pick team as projected and he’s cheap. Fantasy player rankings support that valuation. But...since I have Sorokin in the wings plus other good long range G prospects, Doc’s offer was enough to budge me off him. I still have reservations about this deal, but decided to roll the dice.
Good luck down the stretch Doc. Hopefully Lankinen pushes you over the top.
I’ll update the pick list.
