Seems like a guy who didn't even want to continue playing (for Chicago at least) is now the talk of the trade market right now in Fleury.

 

[duhmetreE]

Would LAK trade Kempe?

 

[RGY]

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I wonder what Drury was offering for Giordano. The Leafs are going through all the trouble to make the cap work, if the packages were similar I wonder if Seattle did him a solid and asked where he’d prefer to go

 

[duhmetreE]

how has the Gio trade not been announced yet?

 

[AirGut]

Really want to see us take a small gamble with Radulov for cheap. He can be electric when he's amped up come playoff time

 

[BBKers]

A new thread. There will be some NYR action now. Only ~23 hours left…
Chychrun, Stephenson, C Miller|DeHaan and Carpenter/Radulov. Would be nice pickups… The later two not costing much and the first two long term pieces

“I have a list of teams that I’m still waiting to see what they are going to be up to and the New York Rangers are #1 on that list. I think Chris Drury, they have a Hart Trophy-level goalie this year and the owner made changes last year because he wants to win this year. I think they look at it, they have some cap issues next year, I’m looking at the Rangers and still saying what are they going to do?”

“I think they are in on guys like Nick Paul, Andrew Copp, there is a lot of interest in Copp, they’ve looked around on Radulov, I still think we are going to see the Rangers do something.”

Waivers have to clear for the Leafs goalie. 5 minutes wait

it'd need to come with a 3rd round pick for our 5th.

We'd be doing them favors. It's a cap dump. He's been real bad.

Is that right about the cap issues next year? Kakko can't demand much

 

[duhmetreE]

He can’t demand much because of his play

We’d be best served for Kakko and Laf to take off after their 2nd contract is signed

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

He can’t demand much because of his play

And the fact he's been injured for over 2 months.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Ok it's 505 announce the flipping trade!

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

At least 2 seconds are part of the trade

I think they will be fine, just can't take on any big contracts. Strome and Georgiev will be gone and some dead money comes off the books. Their biggest challenges will be filling 2c and Kakko's next contract which I think will be a bridge and not that expensive.

 

[bl02]

kinda surprised the Leafs didn't have to trade their top prospect or first rounder.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Wouldn't surprise me if Rangers offered the same deal and they did Gio the solid of trading him where he wanted to go

 

[Raspewtin]

that seems....very low for Gio AND Blackwell?

 

[RGY]

Radulov with a goal early

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Yeah it was made very clear Toronto was Giordano’s preferred landing spot.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Basically two seconds for Giordano and a third for Blackwell
