I still wanna know what Carlyle was talking about with "a birdie told me something else is happening this afternoon..." Or whatever it was he was talking about. But either way it seems Nonis is allowing his 'kids' to play and decide the season. Somewhat of a commitment to youth and a possible tank. I'm liking what I've seen in the short tenure so far of Nonis.
that doesnt sound like a roster move
something Nonis told him

wilson would be somewhat expensive to grab no?
Yep. At best it will cost us Kadri.

Trotz said Wilson got hit in the foot yesterday. He's ok and will be back tomorrow.
Welcome to Toronto, Colin!
Carlyle is usually way more boring than Wilson was for interviews. Maybe he said this just to mess with us.
I'm sure this has been discussed but is Jamie Benn not EXACTLY what this team needs? I know it has been widely speculated that he doesn't want to play in a big market, but overlook this.
When I think big, young, talented #1C he is one of the first guys that comes to mind. He fits the core age of the team and would be that big body to get Kessel the puck. Let's assume you could offer sheet him in the $5M-$6.7 range...the compensation is a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
The 2013 draft class is top notch, yes, but we have a number of good prospects in the cupboard. Forfeit one year of high picks, or maybe trade a current roster player for a 1st or 2nd and you have your franchise #1C. Thats something I easily do...
