That’s a hell of a haul. Can’t really complain too much even if the 1st is years away.

Foote is 24. Seems to have trouble cracking TB’s lineup. Haven’t seen a lot of him but curious to his development.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Poile turned a UDFA to a draft class... Sweet Jesus. You have to think Foote has to be better than Myers who he is beatting on the depth chart.

 

[Armourboy]

Honestly considering Jeannot didn't cost us anything that's a pretty crazy haul even if it's quantity for quality.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

so are we now

Mcdonough-Josi
Ekholm-Carrier
Fabbro-Foote
Lauzon
?

 

[Gainesvillain]

Tampa are insane

Fabbro probably on his way out soon too if I had to guess.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

Not sure why we would trade fabbro and replace him with a guy in Foote that can’t crack TBs lineup. Definitely have to see what other moves are being made.

That said, Jeannot just stocked pile 5 picks. That’s crazy number of assets. Wonder if there is any thought to flipping Foote?

 

[Viqsi]

That kind of return has me less grumpy about the fact that he was traded at all.

That’s a hell of a haul.

 

[BigFatCat999]

so far...

Nino Niederriter (over 30 years old, no retention)
Tanner Jeannot (UDFA)

for

Cal Foote
2024 2nd
2025 1st (top 10 protected)
2024 2nd
2023 3rd
2023 4th
2023 5th

and I think Nashville has something boiling with SJ. Too much smoke.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Just dropping by to say congratulations on the haul. I understand that Tanner was a popular player, but what a great return to help expedite your rebuilding/retooling process.

Cheers

Tampa doesn't pick until the 6th round this year ... doesn't have a 1st round pick until 2026. They remain in the win now, risk it all to get a piece they think will help them make run now mode. If things cool down they lack the picks to develop internally.

The Preds now have three RHD on the roster with contracts expiring at the end of the season ... but the skills don't align with balancing the three pairs.

I thought the same about flipping Foote. He's an RFA and might have some interest, then again we might see Ekholm headed out so he could be depth for that.

Jeannot gets traded so now I'll shut up about being sure anyone else is staying put. All bets are off.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

Jeannot has 5 goals and we received 5 picks and Foote. That’s hilarious to me. Kudos to Poile or NoNeck. Or both.

 

[PredsV82]

Ok so, damn. That's amazing. Like, if Trotz did this deal, holy hell nice start, Barry

5 picks and fraction of a player to go along with Jeannot's sub-6% shooting percentage.

Welcome to a rebuild. Anything of value that can be moved will be moved.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Avs fan coming in peace. That is one hell of a haul. Poile did well.

 

[triggrman]

That’s insane

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Really seems to be a case of Nashville not wanting to move him and Tampa saying, name the price.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I like TB's thinking, because even though it's a lot of draft picks, it's rare for them to amount to anything. The 2025 1st is good for us... but I probably won't live to see that player in a Preds uniform, so pardon my lack of excitement about that one.

Foote has tools. He has size, a shot, a bunch of things. But 3 years in a row now he can't hold a regular spot on a blueline where they have really been praying he would step in and be a cheap ELC in their Cap-strapped lineup. Getting passed by broken down vets or others like Perbix stepping straight in from college this year. He's worth taking a look at for sure, but if they think he immediately replaces Fabbro, well... I would be shocked. Maybe we can salvage him into a player, worth a try, but not worth setting expectations too high IMHO.

Still, 5 picks and a change of scenery reclamation D is a lot of stuff for Jeannot. Just, I could have liked one single high quality prospect even more than this "haul".

I wonder what Jeannot's contract is going to look like. Tampa doesn't have a lot of Cap room, like ever. But I don't think they paid this price without being ready to sign him.

I don't really post in here anymore but stopping by to celebrate this incredible haul we got.

Love Jeannot, wish him the best, thank you for the draft picks. Rebuild the team, babyyyyy
