18 Oct 2025 19:22:21
Maybe re-visit these trades nearer the deadline. Think they could happen but I don’t think it’s time yet for the Flames to be giving up on the season yet. Types of trade if the Flames decide to go in a rebuild mode.

19 Oct 2025 16:20:34
This is Pinball bad.

20 Oct 2025 16:26:33
At least Anderson and Coleman are real nhl players. Lol.

09 Aug 2025 20:32:44
Wild: voronkov
Blue jackets: rossi

24 May 2025 23:03:46
Montreal has 18 million in cap space
I think if they want they could trade laine to Vancouver for a 2nd round which would clear 8.7 to make it roughly 27 million
Montreal trades with wild
Habs send 17th overall, 2nd and 3rd
To wild for Marco Rossi sign him to 6yrs 6 million
Montreal trades with rangers
Habs send 16th overall, Newhook, struble and beck or Heineman
To rangers for Alexis Lafrenière 7.4 per
Habs sign Johnathan Toews 1yr 2,5
MTL still has 15,5 million in cap space
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov Rossi Lafrenière
Dach Toews Gallagher
Anderson Evans flo xhejaj

25 May 2025 00:12:13
Just remember Hutson needs to be signed. And Demidov soon as well. I know cap is going up, but both are gonna command a hefty price

Id kick some tires on Kuznetsov from KHL.. I'm not a huge fan, but I'm thinking for Demidov .. maybe a 2 year 4m per..
Love to see Lafreniere in a Habs uniform, but not at expense of Heineman , Struble ect..
Whats exciting about the Habs is the depth they have with these young stars.. They need the Heinemans and Strubles to win. I think some minor tweaks are needed, but now it's time to let the boys grow into what they are.

25 May 2025 02:16:22
By the time Hutson new contract is up the cap is rumoured to be 8.5 million more so habs would have 24 million + Mathesons 5 million off, so there’s plenty of money for demidov and Hutson then the next year there’s Gallagher and Anderson off the books that’s another 12 million . Habs are in a great spot!

29 May 2025 13:53:15
I don't see the Canucks making any trade for Laine, but I could see a trade where Habs acquire 15th overall, for the 16th overall and 1 of the Habs 2nd round picks.
This would be contingent on whether Carbonneau is available at 15th.

23 May 2025 23:20:11
My very Flames-favoured offseason (feel free to cook me)
Draft Weekend:
To CGY: 2nd overall
To SJ: Connor Zary, Rasmus Andersson, Sam Honzek/Aydar Suniev, Henry Mews

To CGY: 13th overall, 75th overall
To DET: Blake Coleman (50% retained for 2 seasons), FLA 1st (29-32), Daniil Miromanov

Calgary Drafts:
2 - Micheal Misa/Matthew Schaefer
13 - Brady Martin/Jake Obrien
18 - Braeden Cootes/Roger McQueen
54 - Eric Nilson/Cole McKinney/Will Horcoff
75 & 80 - Theo Stockselius/Philip Veilleux/Filip Ekberg/Peyton Kettles/Haoxi Wang

July 1st:
To CGY: Marco Rossi
To MIN: Nazem Kadri
(This deal doesn't NEED to happen if Calgary gets misa + Martin but that's unlikely to happen)
CGY signs Rossi to 7x7

Sign Vlad Gavrikov 7m x 3 years to play with Parekh (or with Weegar if Bahl is better with Parekh)

Resign Vladar or go sign Jake Allen if you don't trust Devin Cooley.

Extend Bahl (RFA) to 5m x 7-8 years
Extend Wolf (RFA) to 8-9m x 8 years
Sign Frost to 2-3 years at most. $ doesn't matter for that contract (call it between 3.5-5m).

Roll into opening night with:

Huberdeau-Rossi-Coronato
Sharangovich-Frost-Pospisil
Stromgren-Backlund-Farabee
Lomberg-Kirkland-Klapka

Gavrikov-Weegar
Bahl-Parekh
Kuznetsov-Pachal
Bean

Wolf
Vladar

The hope is this roster is dog water and lands us Mckenna, Stennberg, or Rooboreck.

Enter 2026 with

Mckenna-Rossi-Coronato
Sharangovich-Misa-Gridin
Huberdeau-Frost-Farabee
Stromgren-Pospisil-Klapka

24 May 2025 19:54:08
That is very busy. If they could pull that all off they would be set for future.

26 May 2025 19:23:14
Great thoughts. I feel you are selling low on Anderson. Anderson (with 50% retained and then an extension with the new team), Honzek and Mews should get you the 2025 second.

Instead of the Detroit trade I would take the same Calgary players and make the trade with Minnesota for Rossi.

This should put us near a McKenna draft position since Wolf is going to have an off year.

Minnesota would say no Rossi is better than both of them. Watch him when he was with kaprizov.

31 Jul 2024 02:57:37

Kinda. that's better than pinball spare parts for a star.

20 Jun 2024 19:47:21
Wild: Robertson, Toronto 4th round pick 2024

Leafs: Gustavsson



Change of scenery could benefit both players.
Robertson would be a good cheap top 9 scoring option for the Wild.
Gustavsson would be a decent tandem partner for Woll.

Also gives the Wild some cap relief.

20 Jun 2024 22:26:45
Tough to gauge what his value is. Maybe only a 3rd Rd pick would land Gustavsson. Me personally the Leafs need to big game hunt. Not a tandem to figure out what will is.

The Atlantic has proven time and time again (6 years straight I. The finals) that elite goaltending makes a big difference.

21 Jun 2024 19:43:48
Fair enough.
I’d like to see the leafs get an elite goaltender, I just don’t see them having the assets to be able to get one.
The only really elite goalie available is Saros, and unless Marner waives his NMC or they decide to move Cowan in a package, I think they’ll have to settle for a tandem.

09 May 2024 21:51:55
Minnesota wants a young centre with size and skill similar to Rossi. Rossi and Gustavsson are available.

MIN - Marco Rossi
NJD - Dawson Mercer

(Both the same age, similar amount of points this season and Mercer obviously has some size)

MIN - Filip Gustavsson, Jake Middleton and 2025 1st
BOS - Linus Ullmark

(Swayman becomes the Bruins’ starter and grabs some pieces, Wild grab a vezina starter to mentor Wallstedt)


Kirill Kaprizov - Joel Eriksson-Ek - Matthew Boldy
Liam Ohgren - Dawson Mercer - Mats Zuccarello
Frederick Gaudreau - Ryan Hartman - Marcus Foligno
Mason Shaw - Marat Khusnutdinov - Marcus Johansson

Jonas Brodin - Jared Spurgeon
Declan Chisholm - Brock Faber
Jon Merrill - Zach Bogosian

Linus Ullmark
Jesper Wallstedt

09 May 2024 23:23:24
I think it’s to much from minassota but I like it.

20 Feb 2024 13:17:12
Minnesota Trades
Fleury
Hartman
Bogosian

Toronto Trades
Samsonov
NRobertson
Holmberg
Liljegren
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYI Pick)

Considering no retention of Salary and Fleury and Bogosian are upcoming UFAs a 3rd Rounder is fair in this proposal.

Players involved makes sense for both teams imo.


Thoughts ?

20 Feb 2024 18:13:20
- MIN is 2 points out of a wild card. why would they torpedo their playoff chances to generously help your team like this?

- Quantity doesn't equal quality.

- IF Fleury waives he will bring a better return than this yard sale. If he were to waive it would be to go somewhere to have a much better shot at winning than what's available with the leafs.

- Hartman is already re-signed when his contract runs out this summer for a very reasonable 4M x 3 years. That's a high-value fit for MIN & Hartman.

- In short, your trades focus on leaf needs, and lack any consideration of what the other team needs.

- The fact that Robertson & Liljegren appear so frequently in your trade offers show that you don't regard them very highly either, yet you continue to include them with your one-sided trade proposals. Neither is a meaningful piece.

- Samsonov is a cap dump. Cap dumps require compensation to take them on. Is he an NHL goalie next year? My guess is he's in the KHL.

20 Feb 2024 19:44:15
Chickenfoot
NRobertson and Liljegren are 2 reasonable NHL Players that a lot of teams would want on their team, Leafs are still in a win now mode is why they would be added in potential deals, What I proposed isn't really one-sided at all.
Bogosian on an expiring contract was earlier this season traded by TB to Minny for a 7th Round Pick, you don't think Liljegren is an upgrade?
NRobertson and Holmberg for Hartman is about right, which leaves Samsonov and a 3rd Rounder for Fleury which again is about right when it's Liljegren for Bogosian.
I guess I should have made it Matthews, WNylander, Rielly, Samsonov and a 3rd for Fleury, Hartman and Bogosian to make it fair in your eyes.

20 Feb 2024 22:11:23
Chickenfoot
Want to add Samsonov isn't a cap dump as he is 7-2 since he had his setback with a shutout and a very respectful Goals Against Avg.
Kampf and or Reaves are cap dumps not Samsonov.

21 Feb 2024 04:18:48
- how many times per week do you include Robertson and/ or Lilly in trade proposals? If you don’t want them then why would another team?

- Samsonov is a cap dump, and everyone knows the leafs need goaltending. Help won’t come cheap at the deadline.

- Pay attention to what kinds of returns happen at the deadline, and then compare them to your one-sided proposals throughout the year. The value you put on your players is not realistic, and that will be evident with whatever deals happen or don’t happen at the deadline.

21 Feb 2024 17:01:17
We need to hold onto the only right handed dman we do have. Lily isn't going to be a top dman ever, but he could be a decent top 4 if he continues to round out his game, but most likely going to be a very solid bottom pair dman. And that's okay as long as we don't overpay him.

Are we in win now mode? Sure. Is this the year to push all the chips to the center and try and win it all? Absolutely not. Our goaltending is still questionable (yes Samsonov has been playing decent hockey, but he has also looked very shakey at times too) .

Robertson has shown he's likely going to be a 3rd line player who can score some goals and that's about that. He's not going to be the piece that makes a big trade happen.

We shouldn't be in a rush to deal Holmberg as he's going to likely be a key bottom player for us since we won't be working with a tonne of money. He's got NHL experience and can play that 4th line role well.

As for the Minny players coming back. Hartman would be a great add for any team, but Minny gave him the extension for a reason so they likely aren't looking to unload him this year or next unless things go sideways. Fleury would be a good add as well, but again Minny is still in the playoff hunt. Do they get rid of a goalie who has playoff experience and still plays an overall good game? I doubt it. And finally Bogosian who yes a serviceable player as well, but is he what the Leafs need? I personally would rather us add a more mobile defenseman who plays a good all around defensive game in our end. Also don't think Bogosian really would want to come back to TO.

22 Feb 2024 16:01:03
Kudos to MG for his consistently realistic and pragmatic view of his team, the league, and the value of various assets.

No one hates the leafs Pinball, but your trades are almost as unrealistic as the leaf fan who posts under the Habs-themed name.

19 Feb 2024 13:33:56
MIN - Jake Middleton, Patrick Maroon and 2024 2nd
TOR - Tyler Bertuzzi


Minnesota acquires Bertuzzi in hopes of resigning him long-term. Leafs grab a decent defensemen, winning veteran bottom 6 forward, a draft pick and frees up 2.25M in cap space for more potential moves.

Middleton - 2.45M @ 2 UFA
Maroon - 800K @ 1 UFA
Bertuzzi - 5.5M @ 1 UFA



Matthew Knies - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
Max Domi - John Tavares - William Nylander
Bobby McMann - Calle Jarnkrok - Nicholas Robertson
Ryan Reaves - David Kampf - Patrick Maroon

Morgan Rielly - TJ Brodie
Jake Middleton - Jake McCabe
Simon Benoit - Timothy Liljegren

Ilya Samsonov
Joseph Woll


Just wanted to post something new

19 Feb 2024 14:27:40
Seems fair but I don't think Bertuzzi will waive for a non contending team.

19 Feb 2024 14:44:44
So the leafs get:

- the best player in the trade (Middleton), who is under contract for the coming year at a very reasonable cap hit. (A D-man with almost identical offensive stats as Bert. )

- 2.25M in cap relief…which is absolutely huge.

- a proven winner in Maroon who would be an instant heart transplant for the leafs at playoff time.

- on top of all this, they get a 2nd too?


MIN gets:

- a head case they could sign as a UFA next season if they really wanted him. (And they won’t because they won’t be able to afford him with their crushing buyout penalties. )

- less depth for a team only 4 points out of a wild card?


I can’t imagine any scenario where Billy G would consider such a move. There’s absolutely no reason for him to do this to his team.

19 Feb 2024 15:11:10
Maroon is out 4-6 weeks just sayin ;)

20 Feb 2024 02:04:54
I think you're right, just throwing new trade ideas out instead of posting the same old stuff @chickenfoot.

20 Feb 2024 16:10:07
Would love to acquire a guy like Middleton. He would round out the defense without breaking the bank in terms of cap hit. I'd imagine to get him though you're looking at parting with a 1st, 2nd, and one of Minten or Cowen, plus a player to make the cap work (Kampf) . Big price, but got to pay to play.

I know Bert personally (grew up playing hockey against him and with him on occasion) and he really isn't a headcase just to make that known. He had a good stint with Boston and got paid. I'm sure we all would take advantage of a nice pay increase if it allowed. As for his performance I couldn't tell yah why it hasn't seemed to click or work in Toronto. If the Leafs trade him to a playoff team I would imagine he would waive, but maybe not seeing as his family just welcomed a new addition and likely doesn't want to be relocating. Hopefully it turns around for him though and we get some production down the stretch and into the playoffs from him.

20 Feb 2024 18:30:18
Bertuzzi let his team down when he remained the last anti-vax holdout in the NHL. He let his team mates down by missing all Canadian games when his team was in the hunt for a playoff position, and this hurt his trade value as well.

He has the tools to be great, but not the mindset. He scored 30 two years ago, followed by 2 years in single digits. He's on his 3rd team in two years, and the leafs only signed him for one year on a "prove it deal". Call it "mindset" if you prefer, but clearly he leaves his potential unfulfilled for a variety of reasons, and this year did nothing to improve his UFA salary negotiations.

14 Feb 2024 15:18:52
2 trade proposals.

First One.
Minnesota Trades
Bogosian
1st Round Pick 2025*

Toronto Trades
Liljegren

*Lottery Protected


Second One.
St.Louis Trade
Buchnevich+

Toronto Trades
Kampf
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2025 (Wild Pick)

+Blues retain 50% of Buchnevich's remaining 2 year contract.


First proposal very similar to The Rasmus Sandin trade with Washington at last season's deadline and it gives Toronto what they are looking for.

Second Proposal improves the Top Line or second LW position, the prior proposal keeps The Leafs 1st Rounder this upcoming draft using The Wilds pick in 2025.


Thoughts ?

14 Feb 2024 18:39:23
- Minny is definitely trying to build through the draft, especially given their crushing buyout penalties. They are unlikely to trade a 1st. (Do you think you might be a tad overvaluing Lilly? )

- I'm not sure why STL would retain 2 seasons of Boosh & take on 4 years of Kampf @ 2.4M/ year.

- You explain how this helps the leafs, but you leave out an equally important part: how does this help the other teams involved? There has to be a fit for both teams, otherwise what's the point?

14 Feb 2024 20:04:04
Bogo would refuse to even get on a plane to return to Toronto.

14 Feb 2024 21:17:12
1 Sure the capitals made a similar trade a year ago, but are they a better team now than they were then?
2 Exchange veteran kampf for a prospect like Cowan or mittens, kampf could easily be perceived as a dump to make the cap work for the leafs rather than value to the blues.

15 Feb 2024 06:42:02
Liljegren isn’t worth a 1st and the second trade doesnt meet the Blues needs at all

18 Feb 2024 04:21:26
Buch would require knies and first since he has 1.5 years and retention and 1 year cap dump.

31 Jan 2024 16:16:30

23 Jan 2024 02:52:36
- I like it!

- MIN is a classy organization and probably has an agreement with him to move him to a contender for one last shot. I bet they'd release him for a 7th.

23 Jan 2024 03:29:53
Sammy, . I mean Chickenfoot ;) They just may. I added a 6th (for this year) thinking it should happen but added a 7th two years later for them to accept the deal to be a lock up for the Oilers.

I feel Vancouver is big and a player like Maroon, reuniting with Perry could not only add some muscle and some antagonizing effects while possibly becoming a strong third line or used on the forth line.

Nuge - Mac- Hyman
Kane-Drais-Foegele
Maroon- McLeod- Perry
Gane- Holloway-Desharais

They really make a 3rd and 4th line beome very interchangeable.

23 Jan 2024 21:51:13
Makes good sense to me, and I love the humour! ?.

24 Jan 2024 06:08:40
Solid

24 Nov 2023 20:11:52
Alright here's a wild one with how bad Edmonton is doing and the wake up call my Sens need. What if they make a blockbuster between them sending McDavid and Draisaitl to Ottawa for a massive haul.

EDM : McDavid, Draisaitl

OTT : Chabot, Batherson, Norris, Taresenko, Kubalik, Forsberg/ Korpisalo, Boucher, 2024 1st, 2025 1st,

Ottawa gets the leagues best 2 players without giving up the support they have to pair them with and frees up a little space to sign Pinto, while Edmonton gets a completely new look Top unit, a decent support forward, a solid prospect, a quality goalie who's better than what they have now, and 2 unprotected 1sts to boot.

Ottawas new look Top 6

Tkachuk McDavid Greig
Draisaitl Stutzle Giroux

Draisaitl would be a great German Mentor for Stutzle and McDavid would be the peice to put Ottawa in the driver's seat in the Atlantic.

Edmonton new look Top 9

Hyman Norris Batherson
Kane Nuge Terasenko
Kubalik McCloud Brown

Plus they would have a 1 2 punch defense with Chabot and Ekholm and a better Goaltender and some future stock with Boucher and the picks.

25 Nov 2023 03:22:58
This is a lil more than a wild one.

25 Nov 2023 20:54:46
Quality over Quantity. As a sens fan, if we wanted McDavid (excluding Drai) it would probably take one of Stu or Sanderson to get the convo started.

Counter Proposal:
Chabot, Forsberg and a 2nd for Nugent Hopkins and Broberg

I do like Chabots fit on the Oilers assuming they manage to move clear cap and RNH accepts NMC. Forsberg immediately moves into their 1G role. Ottawa gets a good locker room team player on a great contract. Broberg gets a change of scenery and the 2nd can be used as part of the Campbell move.

27 Nov 2023 15:01:30
HockeyDads although I don't mind Nuge, he ain't worth Chabot let alone Ottawa adding Forsberg and a 2nd lol that just sends one sided vibes the likes of the Zibanejad and a 2nd for Brassard trade from years ago which was horrible for Ottawa in the moment and aged even worst. No thanks.

Also, what are you talking about quality over quantity for? That has nothing to do with this trade at all. Sure none of these guys are on the same level as Draisaitl or McDavid but honestly, who in the league is? Does that mean there is no quality here? Not a chance!

Chabot is one of the leagues best Top 2 Defensemen. Batherson is a young RW on a favorable contract who is more than capable of a point per game pace. Forsberg or Korpisalo have more than proven in recent years they are both very capable starting goalies. Norris is easily, like Batherson, more than capable of a point a game pace, could likely score 40 plus goals in a season, and is easily a Top 6 Center on any team he plays for. Teresenko may be older but he's proven in the past and is proving right now that he's a very capable winger himself who can at minimum put up 60 plus points. Boucher is still considered a high end prospect. And Kubalik is a solid middle 6 guy who's capable of 25 plus goals a season. Plus you add in a couple unprotected 1sts in 2024 and 2025. Call me crazy but you'll have to explain to me how you can honestly make that claim that this is quantity without quality? Lmfao This trade litteraly screams quality + quantity for quality to me and anyone who knows a thing or 2 about hockey!

29 Nov 2023 11:14:05
I’m just saying if Edmonton ever traded McDavid they would need a superstar they can build around in return. I know how good all those guys are, but none are the superstar you build around.
That’s why I said it would need to be Stu, Sandy or Tkachuk as one of the pieces.

30 Nov 2023 01:44:07
Both Norris as well as Chabot are young enough and skilled enough to build a team around dude.

Chabot is a Top 2 teir Dman who proved already that given the right defense partner he can be among the leagues best defensemen, he litteraly did just that when he was paired with Dylan Demelo of all people, that type of dman to pair him with isn't hard to find or get either.

And Norris within a few seasons already posted a 35 goal, point a game campaign as a rookie / softmore. Dude hasn't even come close to his prime yet.

Either one of those guys can easily be built around. Sure they ain't Tkachuk or Stutzle or Sanderson, but that don't mean they ain't great in their own rights. Plus the mentor figure Taresenko, a great young linemate on one of the best contracts in hockey in Batherson, a Solid prospect in Boucher, a starting Goalie far better than the ones they currently have, and 2 1sts which could essentially be both this year since Ottawa does have 2 this year and as we stand right now, one of those is looking great so far.

23 Nov 2023 16:49:38
2 trade proposals for The Leafs.

First Proposal.
Calgary Trades
Tanev

Toronto Trades
Klingberg
Kokkonen (AHL)



Second Proposal.
Chicago Trades
(Future Considerations)

Toronto Trades
Reaves
Abruzzese (AHL)


Calgary might get more from another team but with Bogosian going to Minnesota from TB for a 7th Round Pick and Tanev being comparable my proposal imo is similar.

Chicago with a ton of Cap add a policeman for Bedard plus a prospect for really nothing.

Toronto gets a Defenceman much needed in Tanev and Klingberg might be done but it solves that mystery of what to do with his contract, these 2 proposals both improves Defense and adds Cap to active Connor Timmons as well, and if PKane decides to play in Toronto for a minimum one year contract this would give The Leafs enough to do this or just recall McMann or some other AHLer.



Thoughts ?

23 Nov 2023 17:45:34
Come on Pinball. Tanev gets a good prospect plus a good pick. Leafs will need to pay to rid themselves of Klingberg.

23 Nov 2023 18:13:19
Leafs will not trade Klingberg even if the oilers offered McDavid straight up. Klingberg chose Toronto last season and wants to be a leaf.

23 Nov 2023 18:55:00
Coulson
Bogosian was traded this season from TB to Minnesota for a 7th Round Pick, Tanev and Bogosian are very comparable so to think Tanev will get a good prospect and a high draft pick, than you really aren't accept Tanev isn't worth more than a late round pick just like Bogosian.
Ask yourself why Tanev would be worth more than Bogosian, unless you really haven't watch either Tanev and Bogosian play.

23 Nov 2023 20:34:49
Pinball, everybody here knows you don't watch hockey. Equal players. if you don't watch hockey, at least read about it.

24 Nov 2023 15:24:09
Bogasian cap dump to activate Fluery from injury. We finally found a player VB likes. Klingberg of all players. ??.

26 Nov 2023 04:08:31
Accept tansv plays solid top 4 minutes and boggasian is a 6 to 7 d at most don't really see tansv being scratched.

Boston:forbort..Minnesota:Hartman. Minnesota could use a defenseman and Boston has extra and gets another option at center.

Interesting, I’d say it looks pretty good tbh. Fair value and good reasoning.

Good one Casual ?.

20 Aug 2023 15:13:38
washinton laughs at you. you want to trade a top line center quality player for 2 cap dumps and 1st and 7th, and that doesnt even bring in the 40% retention for 2 years. aside from the 1st, there is not a single asset they would want out of that.

28 Aug 2023 10:31:32
fair if kunetzov cares, I think he gets less.

Backlund would be a good add but Hanifin is a dime and a dozen player definitely not gonna bring much in a back in a trade. I think he gets a 3rd like Joel Edmonston.

08 Aug 2023 15:50:06
You can sure tell who is out east, need to stay up past your bedtime and watch the west play.
Hanifin would slot in 1 or 2 whole on the leafs. Makes me chuckle. Yet N Robertson is worth everything. ???.

08 Aug 2023 19:09:39
Convoy-boy clearly has more anger than information, which isn't a complete surprise.

Here's some 411 on Hanifin:

- Tied for 38th in Defense Points
- Played 81 games in each of the last 2 years.
- at 6-3, 215 lbs, he would be a top-2 pairing on almost any NHL roster.
- at 4.95M or 1 more season he is greatly out-producing his contract.
- at 26, he is still a year away from his statistical prime.
- I suspect he'll find his way home to BOS, but this is as good a trade scenario as any.

VB: nice to introduce you to Hanifin. Dime a dozen player? Embarrassing.

08 Aug 2023 21:20:15
I am not a convoy-boy. Lol. But people assuming that I am is no different than commenting how self centred and over assuming people from Ontario and Quebec are. But anyway this is hockey talk. I still don’t see that as being even close to fair offering. Second line center 50%retained and a top pair dman for 2 players that are not even Locks for nhl and a pick between 20&25 doesn’t add up.

09 Aug 2023 00:37:23
NASHAN: I refer to VB as “Convoy Boy” because he supported the trucker convoy, and he is the angry kind that doesn’t let facts or conmon sense interfere with his posts.

I agreed 100% with your initial post. Hanifin is a horse, and Robertson won’t even get a renewal offer from the leafs, yet he remains overhyped by leaf fans because leaf TV (Sportsnet & TSN) share the same parent company and are contractually obligated to hype the leafs at the expense of objectively covering the NHL, or even the Canadian teams. )

Just spit balling here...

Vancouver trades:

Vancouver - Boeser

Minnesota - 3rd round pick 2024 (2nd round in $$ retained)


Vancouver - Garland

Washington - 2nd round pick 2025

*Washington would have to trade Mantha to make this work**

-------------------------------

I think Vancouver could get Hoglander to fulfill what Garland does, but at a cheaper cap hit.

I think Boesers spot could be filled by Podkolzin.

Then Vancouver should pursue Max Comtois on a "Show me" contract.

If Myers is traded, Dumba could be a great addition... pending the contract. (No more than 3 years @ 4 million)

08 Jul 2023 17:28:38
- MIN has around 8M to fill 7 roster spots

- Boeser costs 6.65M

- with 2 more seasons of 14M+ in dead cap MIN isn’t in a position to add a nice piece like Boeser, even at the bargain you’re offering. It would be tempting, but they’re in cap hell for two more years.

19 Jun 2023 01:38:56
CBJ should offer sheet Gustavsson. 7 years 7.5 million. Minnesota doesn't have the cap space to match it. CBJ would have to move a small contract to make the cap work but would be a huge upgrade in goal

19 Jun 2023 03:09:55
or mybe traid both goalies and offer sheet gustavson and swayman.

19 Jun 2023 10:24:25
Gustavsson and Swayman are going to likely require the same draft pick compensation going to either Minnesota or Boston so you wouldn't be able to get both of them.

19 Jun 2023 15:27:11
Compensation for Gustavsson at that cap hit is next year's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks. Only way you get Swayman would be at $1,415,740 which wouldn't require any compensation. You offer him that he's not signing the offer sheet lol. And if he did for some reason Boston matches. Your other option is to grossly overpay Gustavsson at $10,725,315 which would require the next four years of 1st round picks. And then offer Swayman either $1,415,741-$2,145,061 which is next year's 3rd round pick or $2,145,062-$4,290,125 which is next year's 2nd round pick.
