I'll take that chance for a 11-15 pick this year.Yeah but you just know random chance is going to spite us and give them one of the top 3 picks if they miss.

Nope, I want it this year. I want that superstar goalie. And his stock is slipping just a little bit. He very much could be there in that range. Watching every damn team seem to luck into a cheap goalie that is better than ours for a decade has been no fun. I want it to be our turn this year.At this point, wouldn't having the Leafs unprotected 2021 first be a ton of fun? Imagine the Leafs board after they lose the first game or two of the season.
I mean, we're talking a pick between 11-15 overall this year. Granted, it's a deep draft and there are some fun guys in the middle-10, but it would be worth it, IMO.
If they were to miss next season, you would absolute have to *know* that ping-pong ball is getting picked. The City of Toronto might burn down.

@Lempo was already asked about this and I can't recall his answer. I do believe that if Toronto traded their 2021 1st it would have to be conditional.what exactly are the conditions of the leafs pick to us this season? lottery protection? there was a rumor they were looking at trading their 2021 1st. would that mean the 2020 defaults to us automatically?
If 2020 1st is top 10 we get 2021 1st instead. Because of this they can't trade their currently encumbered 2021st (the Central Registry won't accept the trade causing a scenario where one pick could be going to two different trading partners).what exactly are the conditions of the leafs pick to us this season? lottery protection? there was a rumor they were looking at trading their 2021 1st. would that mean the 2020 defaults to us automatically?
This happened, remember? Seguin and the whole thing. Team that did it to them won the Cup the next year.

Panthers lost to the Kings. Another useful result. Must take care of our own now this weekend.
Mikko Koivu is apparently being shopped around as a rental for a contender, but he would have to allow it because of his NMC. We did talk of this previously but apparently so is The Athletic now too.
I wonder if they would like Haula back.I would SO much love for Mikko to come over to the Canes. It's not going to happen, but he's been my favorite non-Canes player for the longest time. Even have his name/number on my Wild jersey.
Plus, it's got to balance out. We gave them Eric, they have to give us Mikko.

You think that, until he becomes a second Jordan Staal getting 18 min a night from RBA and Aho barely sees the ice.
He’s been a Jordan Staal all his career. Wouldn’t change much. Though it’s irrelevant anyway:

I don’t have a picture of my Koivu jersey on this device, but I did find this picture, which is just as good. Also almost a decade old, which saddens me to think about, so I won’t.

The saddest part about that is you know they’re gonna end up with the fourth pick.Red Wings officially eliminated from the playoffs. First team to be eliminated before the trade deadline since the 2003/04 Penguins.
