 Moscow Menace receives

S70 PRG 2nd

 

 

Trade Analysis

 

A basic player-for-a-pick trade. The Moscow Menace found themselves with too many players on their roster and had to make a move, so they sent Edward Vigneault, a defensive blueliner entering the second half of his career, to the Prague Phantoms in exchange for Prague’s 2nd round pick this season. By offloading Vigneault, Moscow clears a roster spot for a potential rookie and they clear enough cap room to maybe make some splash in what appears to be a quiet free-agent market. On the receiving side, Prague only has to pay a 2nd rounder in what is looking like a very shallow draft to gain a solid defensive blueliner that instantly joins them as their third-best defenseman.

 

Get to know the player

 

Edward Vigneault

Edward Vigneault was the 33rd overall pick of the Season 66 Entry Draft. He joined the Moscow Menace the next season and has been a consistent defensive presence on their blueline for the last three seasons. He only accumulated 52 points in 216 games, but he did gather 204 hits and 203 shots blocked along with a +58 differential. He’s entering the back half of his career, meaning he’s expected to regress after this upcoming season, giving Prague a couple of seasons of strong defensive play from Vigneault before he regresses further and eventually retires.
