WPG / TB

[WPG-Josh]

To Tampa Bay
David Pastrnak (66)

To Winnipeg
Brandon Coe (58)
Tomas Mrsic (45)
2028 2nd rounder

I will have Freshmen living in my house by the time the 2nd gets here, but I want to spread picks around to stagger the contracts. So that's fine.

Mrsic has already been dealt this year so he is ineligible to boost again. I'll flip him for a booster in the upcoming draft.

Coe is a fine depth piece. When you're trading the better player you're never/rarely getting an equivalent player in return. If I want Pastrnak back (why not?) I can likely sign him as a free agent.

Confirmed. Adding some additional firepower to the 2nd line, and the powerplay. Not losing anything that I'll miss this season.

I just noticed Pastrnak's CON dropped after this trade.
