You think Toskala worth a 1st pick ? Clearly not imo. And they even add Giguere to that ? Make no sens.


Gigure isn't being "added" Jiggy is 6 million on Anaheim's cap.

But giving up a first to drop one year's salary is pretty ridiculous, especially for Toskala in return.


They would have 10.5 mill between goalies next year, that's a lot

It's a purchase of a first round pick. Anaheim's cap is tight with Hiller signed and JS Giguere is unhappy. Toskala's contract expires this year (salary relief to replace Giguere's $6 million next year) it's a huge deal for both teams.


I understand the deal, I still wouldn't give up a first in the new NHL just for a salary dump.

I could actully see that happening. Good deal for both teams if it does.

This deal though was good for both teams as well.

Yeah but you would if it could make your team stronger. Maybe they are trying to get Kovy in Anaheim?
But it also makes sense because no one wants to pay their back-up that much money. shit is ridiculous and 1st rounders cost $1 million in salary dump (which is what was stated last trade deadline amongst GM's)

Kovy won't be going to a team that won't make the playoffs. The ONLY reason is probably because the Ducks want to give B Ryan an extension before he gets to test the market.
