First thing I thought of as well. See ya, Cole.

Hopefully he's packaged with another asset for a significant return. I don't see Cole bringing back anything of real value.
I dunno. Pending UFA yes, but tough, hard-nosed D men who will sacrifice the body and played a crucial role in his team winning back-to-back cups probably has value

If Cole gets traded, Oleksiak is the clear replacement for him. I actually really like that trade, especially for that cost. That's a good move for Rutherford.

Well, he's kind of at a similar point in his career that Cole was when we acquired him, but I was never a fan of his even when he was a prospect. But there's some upside there.

This guy doesn't have to be very good to become the 3rd best LD on this team.

I think Cole's value can be two things, Cole the rental and Cole the trade and sign. If someone sees him as a 4D and re-signs him I think his value could be fairly high. Even so, I assume he’d be part of a package and that 1st better be f***ing protected.

Laying the ground work for some bigger moves I take it. I don’t mind Oleksiak and that’s cheap.

Heard rumor that a deal that may shake the pens and fans to their core might occur. What is the policy about rumors from people who work in the industry?
