I think he meant that Rozi has a NMC and no reason to want off of a cup contender.

This will definitely lead to something big happening in the off-season, but dont think anything else happens right now.
We'll see how he does, but he is cost controlled through next season and he's cheap. Prettysolid move no matter what.

Short answer: yes--but I could also see Rundblad with Hammer as well, maybe if he proves himself

Maybe Bowman wanted a better option for Q in regards to playing a defenseman on the third line.

But it does apply to this season. Which makes it is much more likely Oduya gets moved then Rozi does this year.

The accountability era?
Better than Leafs youngsters? I doubt it very much.... but will be thrilled if he's even close to Reilly or Gardner.

Wow, I think everybody at the blueline except Hjalmarsson, Seabs, and Keith could be in play now. I'm uncomfortable with how much I like the trade for Rundblad.
Brisebois? Was this a favor by taking the contract slot from PHX and could this explain why Pirri may have been moved a little more quickly at maybe a little less than many expected?

I believe so but I have been following Rundblad closely since his first steps in the Swedish Elite League, so I might be biased.
Reilly is a match but Gardiner? No way he has the offensive upside as Rielly and Rundblad does.
Rundblad had 39 points in 50 games with Portland last year, and that was his second year playing in North America.

IMO Gardiner has more offensive potential than Reilly, Reilly will just be much better defensively.

Don't even play me like that. Stan is smarter than that, but still.
Sounds like familiar treatment from Q to a player now in Florida..
Very similar.

The Hawks love their swedes
aside from that, are there literally any trade rumors for Bickell at all? I don't think so, and rightfully so. If no Bickell trade rumors, I think they're done.
