GDT: 2022 NHL Draft (And Trade Rumors) - Montreal - July 7 - July 8

Making space for Giroux?

Or a goalie lol

 

[GKJ]

I don't see how Fletcher can do a straight dump of JVR even at 50% based on those two deals.

 

[Rebels57]

I have a feeling Toronto is going to get one of Hutson or Lambert.

They do seem to have fallers end up in their lap each year

Those are both 2 year deals , but you just have to ride JVR out at this point.

It was always going to be the Panthers pick and JVR. This organization couldn’t be more predictable if it tried.

Mesar can fly. Don't see Garland at all.

 

[Flyerfan18]

Jack Sparkes.

I hope so.

That 2024 Florida 1st already has its bags packed.

I think @BigToe would enter a state of nirvana if Ostlund and Lambert both ended up in Buffalo.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Ken Holland earning his spot in the GM of the year voting with that one...

Holland hates 2nd and 3rd rounders almost as much as Fl…I made myself sad via Oilers trade. This might be rock bottom.

 

[Deadpool8812]

How many 1st round picks has Dubas traded away in order to get rid of the shitty contracts he's given out?

But I don't think that can happen either. That doesn't seem like enough. Plus, you can't give that pick up on the off-chance Florida isn't good, unless it's protected. Also, it's just horrible optics to send out to use the main piece of the Giroux trade in that way, something I think they're very cognizant of.

They’ll sell it as they traded Giroux and netted Gaudreau though which works in a vacuum but we don’t live in that world or at least anyone with a brain doesn’t. The Authentic’s will eat it up and the ends will justify the means.

I’m operating under the assumption they only try that move if they think with certainty they can bring him in.

Walking away with Lambert, Savoie, and Ostlund would be ridiculous. They pick again at 41 too lol.

Sam always has to drop his opinions in tweets.

I think you mean Sam always has to drop a deuce in his tweets.

 

[TheKingPin]

Chicago is feasting, Jesus Christ. Why can the team with 3 Cups in the last 12 years go full scorched earth, after handing out that Jones contract, but this dumpster fire can't because of Kev?

Not just handing out the contract, but going backwards and no attaining firsts after giving up a few to get Jones. We could be in the same spot if we crash and burn this season so we have to root for that.

At least he's not quite as bad as bill's stupid ass

 

[Curufinwe]

A 2nd and a 3rd to dump two years at $3.2m is a huge price to pay. The contract was only signed in Jan 2020.

 

[BigToe]

Wow

 

[GKJ]

I just don't think even if they do that, that it is enough to move him given his number. Mrazek and Kassian are both in the 3's, Kassian cost more, but Holland is also dumber than Dubas. That said, both those guys are also on 2 year deals and JVR is only next year.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Wow

Were you a Bystedt guy?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Mrazek - $3.8x2 & #38 for #25
Kassian - $3.2x2 #29, 2nd, 3rd for #32

Yeah it’s probably going be tough to move JvR’s $7x1.
