Honestly even that Garland trade doesn’t give me a lot of confidence when it comes to a McMann trade. I’m hoping Treliving betting on holding out until the last minute doesn’t come back to bite him in the ass.
Garland starts a 6x6 contract next year, not the same as BM/SL for dirt cheap and min term
I mean he wasn’t available a couple of seasons prior… And although he has a modified no trade clause, I feel like he was traded to a destination of his choosing out of respect for what he’s done with the Washington organization. I don’t think he would have wanted to come to Toronto.
If a goalie is moved, I’m starting to wonder if it’ll actually be Woll. I think he would return the best package out of the three and similar to the Laughton - Roy situation where everyone was talking about Laughton being the one getting traded (still will most likely) we were all surprised Roy actually got dealt first. Everyone is talking about Stolarz getting traded but maybe we all get surprised and see Woll actually traded.
Both goalies have warts, but with Hildibeast in the wings I’m moving Woll, Stoli will accept being a backup more readily than Woll who might go AWOL again if he doesn’t get his way?
Smarter now if possible.
