Was that maybe supposed to be off the record?

Talbot and agent, we don’t wanna be here sitting 2nd fiddle again. Trade us where we have a chance to start.

Not the best look if you’re trying to get professional athletes to play for you

I'm going to be so disappointed if Nuke doesn't sign after all the rumours today.

A guy who used his stick as a weapon on a rookie who was his teammate to boot is surely not the sharpest tool in the toolbox.

 

[Balthazar]

Hard to believe that they didn't see it coming.

If true this is piss-poor planning by a GM.

I'm very curious to see what Toronto does in goal and how their fanbase will react to it (poorly I suppose no matter what happens). Not too many options left. Sign Campbell for 5x6 and run with Wall/Källgren as the backup?

50/50!? Hot take, Dater...

In all seriousness, we know Sakic and Manson's agent met yesterday. I feel like no deal done is the kiss of death, just like with Kuemper. I could be wrong but I feel like once Sakic hears numbers/term he doesn't like from secondary players, he moves on.

I think it’s in par that. But I also think that right now, in terms of priority, Manson isn’t near the top. It’s hard for Joe to fully commit to Manson until he knows where Nuke, Georgiev and Lehkonen fall in. Then he’s gotta manage the remaining spots on the roster with remaining money.
There are definitely some UFA options to replace Manson. So good on Joe to get some numbers from Mansons camp, but ultimately, he won’t be able to make a decision until he’s got other numbers in place.

This. What the f*** is that? Actual good GMs would already have a deal in place to move down should their guy not be there.

 

[Pokecheque]

Oh no, he most certainly wanted that on-record in response to the also-on-the-record rhetoric from Talbot's agent.

Manson should be up there in priority right behind nuke. Especially with goal trending being a question never year. Doubt we find a better option in FA without over spending. I’d like to see how Bo handles a full season before thinking out D is set

You have Georgiev, Nuke, Lehkonen and a 2C as priority IMO. What do all those pieces cost cap-wise...

I'd much rather skimp on the replacement for Manson than the replacement for Kadri

 

[Belgican]

There has been some words about Kuemper obviously, Nuke and Manson, but I didn’t see anything about Kadri usually a good sign something is in the works

 

[Pokecheque]

Bah, I'm not convinced Fitzgerald is a good GM but I don't see this as a big deal. I think I read somewhere that Yzerman wanted to trade down from No. 6 in 2019, but upon finding no suitors said, f*** it, just take the player he wants, who happened to be Seider. Pretty much the same thing happened here.

They made no secret of their desire to move up and take Slafkovsky, that obviously didn't happen because Montreal wanted him, but at the time they couldn't have known for sure who Hughes was taking.

There will be a ton of trades during the draft, they said. Tkachuk! Tarasenko! Chychrun! Gibson! Miller!

 

[Bednars Suit Game]

Husso signing is interesting. Wonder what DK gets on open market now.

Every year is pretty much the same... but this year was busier than most.

~6m for ~5/6 years... the starting goalie market rate.
