Heavy??? He completly soft... stay far away of this guy

Interesting take

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

2nd round 2025 for Ryan McLeod
1st round 2026 for Connor Murphy

Empty the coffers if the team keeps playing well. Ryan McLeod is a young controllable 3C who adds a ton of speed and Connor Murphy would be an excellent partner for Rielly. He also has another year after this one

Knies Matthews Marner
Pacioretty Tavares Nylander
McMann McLeod Domi
Lorentz Kampf Dewar
Robertson, Holmberg, Reaves

McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - Murphy
OEL - Timmins/Benoit

Stolarz/Woll

Rags could have done better if they handled the situation with a little more care. Weird season for them.

 

[SprDaVE]

My god what a terrible trade for the Rangers. I'm sad we couldn't get involved there.

 

[Warden of the North]

Tre should have beat that.

 

[SprDaVE]

Tre should have beat that.

Not sure we have a Borgen to give up unfortunately. Maybe Benoit but not sure the Leafs want to mess with what's working for them on defense anyway.

With that said, Seattle grabbing a solid young player is a smart bet. I wonder if they unload a veteran or two upfront to go younger.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Another potential Boosh if Tre feels more D-depth is needed.

My god what a terrible trade for the Rangers.

not really... Like i just said i think people here overrate Kakko, that's it

 

[TMLAM34]

Nice move by Seattle. I wouldn’t have minded Kakko but not upset Tre couldn’t land him. Rather use our limited assets on positions we actually need to address.

 

[Fogelhund]

Rangers needed a RD to replace Trouba, who can play D, and stabilize them. So, they got a guy they needed, and we really don't have a player that fits that need. We also don't really need a winger, even if he'd be an upgrade on our third line guys.

Seattle should give him plenty of opportunity, where he'll likely be a good NHLer, but never come close to his draft position expectations.

[Skullz]

Yup. We should have beaten that. Goodness. Drury has to be on his last legs. Never understood why they didn’t keep Gorton.

A nice buy low player could be Taylor Hall with double retention.

 

[ULF_55]

A nice buy low player could be Taylor Hall with double retention.

Can they just buy him out to terminate his contract?

[tony135420]

Can they just buy him out to terminate his contract?

Retaining 50% for the rest of year, rather than buying him out and have him on the books for 2 years makes more sense. They would at least get a second round pick and a possibly another asset out of retaining and trading, I would expect. At least a 3rd rounder on the low end no?

 

[SprDaVE]

Very good pick up by the Habs. I don't think Barron was doing well. Weird trade for the Preds.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Kakko for a #6D, a pick in the 70's and a pick in the 150's.

Don't tell me we couldn't have beaten that even with the Eastern Conference tax.

Nice deal for the Habs
