Around the NHL: Part VII – Sweeps and Suspensions (Mod Warning Post #249)

Oof. That next goal was huge, and Boston got it. But if there’s one thing I know, pretty much no lead is safe in the playoffs.

Leafs' size disadvantage really evident

I'm pulling for all Cup-less, or generations away from their last Cup win, so Go Leafs.

Right now, I’d be good with anyone not the Isles, Washington or Boston.

It's been another dude anchoring JR and Sharp

I know I've heard/seen him really recently - maybe West coast then. I've been watching nearly every game. First round is always awesome.

Yeah, agree. If neither of those conditions are met I've been pretty vocal that it's a **** trade.

Exactly. If we got one guaranteed 1st rounder instead of one of those conditional picks, that would make the trade good.

If Dallas lets Zucc walk in the summer, I think that would be more questionable than us trading Zucc for the 2+3 conditional package

We have a real chance of meeting both the conditions and getting 2 first rounders.

Tell you what, Marleau is another Callahan contract situation that the Rangers might want to look at. Toronto's got some serious cap business to deal with - Marner, Kapenen, Gardiner.

Marleau has a NMC and Gardiner is priced out... But TOR will need help, possibly by moving Nylander.

Something about the “signing Zucc” condition smells fishy to me. Something tells me their GM only agreed to that condition to get Zucc at a lower price, and probably has no intention of signing him. But hopefully they make it far in the playoffs and hopefully the team falls in love with Zucc.

I really hope we’re in on Nylander. Great buy low candidate on a contract that could look very favorable a get years from now.

Callahan has a modified NMC/NTC too. I'm not a fan of it anyway - either one.
