What's it like to get traded in the NHL? 

Lmao who wants to live in Whiny Peg

Not happening 😂

If we have the cap I think the Jets should. He is an elite player and is playing really well this year for us.

Nobody wants to be in Winnipeg 😆

@@chanzethomas580 joker.

That’s just how dilly is, he’s good with teammates

Ew

NO JETS NO

@CP4Z167 All NHL teams keep stock of pretty much every helmet model in every size and in the team colours they wear, so there really isn't a need for a newly traded player to bring their old team's helmets with them. The equipment staff from the old team contact the equipment staff for the player's new team and send them all the relevant equipment specs for that incoming player before the player even arrives in their new city. Same goes for the pants, assuming the player is ok breaking in a new set of pants mid-season. If not, they will just get a pant shell ready to cover the old team's pants. If the incoming player uses a girdle instead of pants, they will just get a proper fitting pant shell that is compatible with that girdle model ready. The most challenging piece of equipment for a new incoming player to get replaced are the gloves. All NHL teams keep a limited generic team stock of the more commonly used pro glove models in every brand in their team colours that they can quickly give to the new player just to get them by until their preferred custom gloves arrive from the factory. Some players don't customize their gloves so they are much easier to get resolved quickly, whereas those who have more personalized customizations built into their gloves have to wait until the factory builds and ships them over in the new team's colours. All other equipment a player wears like skates, shin pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads, and jock all stay the same and are brought over with the player from the old team, including the player's old team's bag, which eventually just gets shipped back to their old team after it's been replaced with the new team's bag.

@@tonyk501 I see I didn’t know that, I thought some guys might be superstitious and wear the exact same helmet they had their entire career. For example, Malkin and Ekholm wear pretty old school Bauer helmets. So if they get traded, their new teams likely have unworn helmets with exact same specs in their storage ?

@@CP4Z167 Correct. Unworn helmets with the exact same model specs in storage. At most, a player may decide to bring their old team's white "road" helmet with them and just have the stickers on them changed. The colour stickers on the helmet's visor would also get changed, or a new visor of the exact same specs would be installed. Malkin and Ekholm both wear the old Bauer 4500 helmet, which is still worn by many NHLers like Marchessault, Duchene, Cogliano, etc.

@@tonyk501wow just did a quick super surprised to see quite a few players still wear the 4500....another fun fact, looks like Letang might be the only one still wearing the Bauer 7500. Still one of my favorite helmet designs of all time lol

He was sick
