I’ve said the same. The UFA market is holding up a lot of the trades I think. Most of the ones we’re seeing right now either involve picks for this draft, clearing space for signings/re-signings.

I predict Tanev and Zad for matching 5x5 deals with the hope of LTIRing Tanev for last couple years. and no one will be happy.
Me included.

I mean would any of us have been all that upset about liquidating Jarnkrok, Timmins Kampf for a pick or 2?

Quite underwhelming for me, considering Zadorov is going to come in @ over $5m

Yes. I mean why trade assists for something you could possibly get in ufa. Makes no sense. I think for D, we have a solid chance to improve in UFA and I feel like we have a few guys locked in

In a matter of an hour Utah's D looks better than ours.
Dubas would've emptied what little draft capital we have left in our cupboards at the deadline. At least we're picking 8 times this draft and added a high pick next year.

Lily has RFA with arb rights. I think they will go to arbitration and get a 1 yr deal done or make Lily a UFA.
There have been trade rumours for lily too...

I don't know, maybe it's Shanny but christ, a team that doesn't have a real name has
Sergachev-Marino
X-Durzi
Valimaki-Kesselring
vs
Rielly-X
McCabe-X
Benoit-Liljegren (RFA)
Timmins
Even if you add Zadorov and Tanev into that group, I still feel better about Utah's group.
Yeah I'm fed up too but just saying.
They aren't letting him walk for nothing
Liljegren still has some trade value and he hasn't been traded so as of now I think he's staying

Reading this board's overreactions sometimes is comical. Remember last year when everyone was all over Tre for not doing anything pre-July 1? And then 3 days later he goes out and signs both Bertuzzi and Domi to very reasonable 1 year deals and then everything is hunky dory again. Remember the furor over Benoit's pre-season? f***, the media were still bringing that up on game 72 of the reg season as if it was still a concern! Meanwhile he had literally been one of the team's biggest bright spots ALL YEAR. but, but, but that pre-season though...durr
Marner, IF traded, was NEVER going to be traded before July 1 so just stop right now with the bitching over that.
And what if Marner does not waive? well then he becomes the villain and we all know how that will play out. And Tavares and his contract - still on the team at least one more year, we've known this - so live with it.
Ya'll are also fooling yourselves with Shanahan, IMHO. I firmly believe and for good reason, he has been neutered and probably no longer holds the strings as much as some imagine he does.
New CEO, new coach, new-ish GM. Let's give it some time and see where it goes before jumping off the bridge.

Many insiders say he will likely be a Leaf so I would say yes.
Expect an ugly contract long-term but he will be very good short term

Just don't sign Jeff Finger.
I’ll judge based on the roster we are icing game 1 of the regular season. And then again at the deadline. It’s a long offseason.
