Leafs need their own unabashed cheerleaders like Hrudey.

Saad signed with Vegas for $1.5 million.

Can Miller save the Rangers season?

That is two 100 point guys traded in a week. That is rare

What does this do for the Canucks room. Based on all accounts a lot of tension was just removed from that group. What do they do with it?

I feel like the Rangers were always going to be able to recover and at least claim a wildcard spot. They are better than those other teams in the east.

Can the Canucks do the same in the West? Will be a challenge I think.

I had previously said I thought the Rangers would jump back in to a playoff spot even without Miller, and I too don't know how the Canucks fare.

They are two different teams with and without Hughes on the ice. The splits are incredible.

I think they can hold off Calgary and end up playing Win or Edm in the first round.

I don't care about the Canucks room, Pettersson better come out and look like the 100 point version of himself cause he's got no more excuses so sulk.

Are the Jackets a wagon? Only 5 points back of NJ with a game in hand

At first glance it appears the Rangers handily won this trade.

The team that gets the best player wins the trade. Chytil is half the player Miller is. The Rangers got the best player so they won the trade

For Vancouver this wasn't about improving the roster.

It was about changing the culture in the dressing room. So the return on the trade was of secondary consideration. Just getting rid of Miller is addition by subtraction for them.

The Leafs should probably be taking notes and let Marner walk to free agency.

His loser mentality and refusal to accept personal accountability are two things that don't belong on a sports team. They don't need god on skates blaming everyone else if they lose in the first round again. It would be a win just getting him off the team.

Sometimes it's not about asset management or getting the best return on investment possible.
