Speculation: Matthews to California team for two 1sts?

[broc]

He's not worth what Bryam brought. Otherwise, he be a Blackhawk
That's a definite no on Dickerson

Um, Knies signed for 5 more seasons >>> Bo Byram for 1 more season then becomes a UFA

And yet it was Byram that brought in a real bounty

Because the Leafs were reportedly asking for another valuable roster player. If their ask was only the 4th and a young depth D prospect it might have been done, might not, no one will ever know.

Buffalo got the 4th, 45th and a roster player
Either Toronto dropped tge ball, or Knies simply wasn't worth it. Supposedly, he was ti be traded to the Habs for much less

Blackhawks definitely offered the 4th overall pick for Knies. No point denying that.

If you say so.
They dropped the ball if they said no.

Maybe - but the 4th overall pick does nothing for them right now. They are trying to win (delusional in my opinion)

OK.
We can always revisit it at the trade deadline

Leafs were asking for more then what Byram returned and the Hawks pivoted to Byram when Chayka didnt budge. Hawks had been linked to knoes for almost as long as Montreal has been.

What was it the Habs offered?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

What was it the Habs offered?

Zharhovsky, Pickford and two 1sts. That was the rumored deal when Brad was gm. It wasnt enough obviously or Chayka would revisit and knies would be a hab by now.

Thanks. You don't believe the 1 second too late story?

No way to know for sure but I personally doubt it.

 

[Nervousbreakdown]

No way to know for sure but I personally doubt it.

I like to think someone at MLSE got wind of what was happening and moved all of Brad's clocks back 5 minutes then distracted him until it was too late.

I don't think that package even gets the 4thoa

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Probably not. They are all solid pieces but nothing as high end as 4th overall. The Hawks definitely offered 4th overall for knies but Chayka wanted a big plus and thats likely what caused them to pivot to byram.

 

[Strangle]

I think a prefer a celebrini Misa 1-2 punch for longer

Celebrini might be the first $20m AAV player in the league in two years

Take advantage of his ELC while you can and bring in some great players in their prime

The ask was apparently Frundell + 4OA. Blackhawks went with plan B which was Tuch

And the leafs are happy to keep knies

If true. YIKES!

Can Matthews play RD?

Because that's what we need. That and LD, far more than an expensive, declining center.

 

[Palaeontologists]

Maybe non-Sharks fans should stop talking about the Sharks. I'm losing braincells trying to understand all of these mental gymnastics.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Saw something about nylander too. I don't know what the leafs are doing. Feels like they have one foot in and one out. Maybe with fl move and some other teams they know ahead of them they might be open to a retool. Especially with getting the first pick. But then they have made a couple of moves too to try to improve. It must be a weird time for leaf fans.
