That's a lot of deck chairs.

 

[Skullz]

The Athletic ranks Ivan Provorov as the No. 1 likely to be moved this year, as he is a UFA after 2025.

If we could agree on a reasonable contract extension, I would be extremely interested in adding him, provided the price is not outrageous.

Rielly - Tanev
Provorov - McCabe
OEL - Timmins/Hakanpaa

That's a fantastic defence core in my eyes.

I like Benoit, but I wonder if his value is artificially high around the league? If it is, I'd explore moving him. I think Rifai could do his job for cheaper.

Benoit's getting top ice time minutes, he's cheap and going nowhere..........

FYI Mirtle on the radio today said Lilly has no value around the league.

Hard to when you don't play.

 

[Stephen]

FYI Mirtle on the radio today said Lilly has no value around the league.

He's not a very attractive player because he plays scared under duress and fatigue. His overall positive impact isn't high to begin with, doesn't do anything particularly noteworthy and is outcompeted. D+8, there isn't that much going on. He's like the RHD Travis Dermott, give or take.

 

[LeafEgo]

Benoit's getting top ice time minutes, he's cheap and going nowhere..........

That and OEL is moving up before he's moving down.

A retained Provo makes for a great push piece this year and provides Rielly or McCabe alternatives for next year, but we really don't need a cardio machine on the left side right now. We can fill those minutes already. Maybe hes ambidextrous but ideally an RD pops up.

 

[Dreakmur]

Hard to when you don't play.

He played and sucked….

 

[OVO16]

FYI Mirtle on the radio today said Lilly has no value around the league.

Id rather trade Timmins anyways. Almost think he's playing because they're trying to raise his value and showcase him before the inevitable players on the IR and LTIR come off.

Connor Timmins had close to no value at all before this season began. Most people thought he would be placed on waivers. Leafs clearly trying to tell teams this dude can play

maybe Utah bites, his salary is more palpable than Lilly's...........

 

[Americanadian]

FYI Mirtle on the radio today said Lilly has no value around the league.

He also said San Jose could be a fit and they’d need to take a bad contract back.

Kostin could fit that bill. 2M this year then RFA.

 

[LaPlante94]

Hard to when you don't play.

There's plenty of tape out there on him ad many scouts who have watched him play over the years.

 

[SprDaVE]

He also said San Jose could be a fit and they’d need to take a bad contract back.

Kostin could fit that bill. 2M this year then RFA.

I wonder how high they are on Mukhamadullin? He was once seen as a fairly good prospect but at age 22 and still in the AHL on a bad team doesn't seem to bode well? Another name I'd be interested in is Thomas Bordeleau, but he's a small speedy playmaking winger so I don't know if that makes sense.

They acquired Kostin last season and they seem to like him a lot. Nico Sturm is probably a more realistic target.

 

[Menzinger]

How many 90th. overall picks become NHL defenders though?

Prefer a prospect.

A 2nd can be easily traded at the tdl to fill needed gaps.

 

[ER89]

why the f*** did we sign him if we aren't eeven going to show case him.

I genuinely don't understand how you do some bullshit like that

 

[Menzinger]

I genuinely don't understand how you do some bullshit like that

If he can't be moved,.then signing him to that high of a cap hit BEFORE free agency even began is going to look like the biggest blunder of the off-season by far for the front office

In retrospect it may have been worth it to simply not qualify him if Berube was likely to not have confidence in his ability to fit his game plan and spend the money elsewhere

I'm hoping part of this is the front office simply assuming someone will eventually pay their price for him as other teams encounter injuries

 

[Rare Jewel]

One game, guys...

why the f*** did we sign him if we aren't eeven going to show case him.

Quite so.

 

[Dreakmur]

One game, guys...

So you think we should put him in the lineup regardless of how he plays?

 

[Americanadian]

I wonder how high they are on Mukhamadullin? He was once seen as a fairly good prospect but at age 22 and still in the AHL on a bad team doesn't seem to bode well? Another name I'd be interested in is Thomas Bordeleau, but he's a small speedy playmaking winger so I don't know if that makes sense.

I doubt they're giving up anything of value for Liljegren who they ultimately don't need.

They acquired Kostin last season and they seem to like him a lot. Nico Sturm is probably a more realistic target.

Do they like him? They acquired him as a cap dump and he's already a healthy scratch.

 

[Puckstuff]

Granlund is the clear and obvious fit for this team.

By placing a defensive playmaking center like him between sharpshooters Robertson and Nylander, you can seamlessly shift Domi back alongside Matthews, who already share incredible chemistry. This also allows Marner to reunite with Tavares, creating three dynamic and potent lines. Even J.T. can produce alongside Marner.

These combinations are obvious:

• Matthews and Domi click.
• Robertson and Nylander excel and will work with Granlund.
• Tavares and Marner mesh.

3 lines:

• Knies–Matthews–Domi
• Robertson–Granlund–Nylander
• McMann–Tavares–Marner

These lines are elite.

 

[TMLAM34]

Granlund makes a lot of sense for us. You’re probably looking at a package involving Liljegren, Robertson and a pick.

Knies - Matthews - Domi
McMann - Granlund - Nylander
Pacioretty - Tavares - Marner
Lorentz - Holmberg - Jarnkrok

Insider Trading: Canada’s 4 Nations captain could be named in December | TSN

TSN’s Hockey Insiders have more on the naming of Canada’s 4 Nations captain, the ‘mean and clean’ hit by Jacob Trouba this week, the Habs exploring the trade market, Dante Fabbro among Nashville’s trade possibilities, what Utah’s injured blueline could mean for the trade market and the Flyers...

www.tsn.ca

Duthie: There is no one is in the NHL who hits quite like Jacob Trouba. He walks a line, Dregs, where sometimes you have to look at it two or three times on replay to deem that was clean, but the latest one on Justin Barron was clean?

Darren Dreger: It absolutely was clean. And you're right, he's almost in a league of his own when it comes to the timing and the execution of these bone-jarring hits. Damian Echevarrieta inside the Department of Player Safety, deemed it best in labelling the hit on Justin Barron as 'mean and clean.' By all accounts, reaction around the NHL outside of Montreal would agree with how that was labelled. Now look, lets go back to the summer in describing Jacob Trouba. The speculation around the Draft was a potential of trade. There were as many as 20 teams that expressed interest in Jacob Trouba. And if you look to the summer coming up, perhaps the New York Rangers entertain trades again. I can assure you if he goes to the Western Conference where'd he prefer, there will be a crowd.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Laughton is the guy for me

 

[ER89]

Can we please convince the avs to trade us rantanen for mitch and then pay him 12.

At least we have 3 goal scorers in matty rants and willy and then NOT re sign JT.

f***s sake.
