Devils Bums

Devils send Marco Estrada, 2018 $7.425M & 2nd rounder

Bums send 7th & 8th rounders, plus conditional 4th* if not used

*I think we had a similar clause a few seasons ago (I can't find the message board from back then) in a three-team transaction.  Kyle, I'm 99% sure you were part of this--we were proud of the complexity.  If the owner of the pick announces he's done or times out, the condition would kick in.

I remember the 3-team trade, indeed!  Very proud of that.  And I do remember us at least ASKING about the condition of unused picks.  Can't remember if it was granted.

yes, Brendt asked if it would pass the CO & I forgot to add that both sides agree to the deal whether or not the kicker is approved.  I.e., the trade is non-conditional on the conditional pick.  ^_^

As long as the CO approves, the Bums approve.

CO confirms, generally.  We're still talking about the conditional pick.  I don't recall that issue in the past.  We did okay trades like this one: http://www.msbsim.com/forum/index.php?topic=490.0 but those weren't conditional.

Give us another day or so.

Guys, unless you can point back to that trade, I don't think we're going to allow the conditional pick.  I can't recall us every allowing it in the past.

Shane, I think its possible the 32 of us GMs discussed the idea while in trade-talks, but in the end decided not to include it in the official trade.
