[PredsV82]

Zidlicky only cost a 3rd. I cant remember which side he skates but I would have just about preferred Zids to Franson, especially at that price

question is, did he ask to be traded, like Erat did ?

 

[Mypetrobot]

Not really. He was traded there. It was a sign & trade deal, but Poile wasn't willing to go as high with his salary.

He was quoted saying he'd rather play in Toronto than nashville.

I don't recall ever seeing that.

 

[Mypetrobot]

I don't recall ever seeing that.

Dreger cited Kessel’s wishes to play in Toronto over Nashville as the reason the Leafs remained the front-runners, and the aforementioned source said the same.

I'm sure he's regretting that decision now.

For sure but the cost was rumored to be Ellis and Wilson at the time.

Zidlicky was great last year, but this year he has been pretty bad. The price was cheap, but it is representative of his play this year.

St. Louis adding to the goon squad with Bortuzzo coming back for Cole. That's kind of a head scratcher, I thought Cole was a decent young d-man.

Yeah, I don't really get this one for Stl either.

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

Definitely seems like we're done. I'm ok with that. Prices are high, and we have enough guys. We just need to play to our potential.

I don't see another depth addition. The only two things I can see us doing are either moving someone like Volch/Bouqrue for futures or doing something big like Kessel (very doubtful). I don't think trading for a meh bottom sixer helps us anymore.

 

[Mypetrobot]

OJ to the blues.

 

[PredsHabs]

Jokinen to blues!

 

[Infinite Jest]

oj to the blues.

lol!

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

I hope "late" pick means something like a 3rd or a 4th.

 

[PredsV82]

Jokinen to blues!

And the setup for the ultimate FU is now complete. ..if we either lose the division to them or lose to them in the playoffs it will be forever blamed on the Jokinen Jinx

 

[Filip Forceberg]

Supposedly it's a 4th rounder if Jokinen plays 1 playoff game.

Edit: Just saw it's a conditional 6th. Not sure if the condition is that it becomes a 4th if Jokinen plays in the playoffs.

 

[thecloser]

hahaha Jokinen back in the central.

getting some love on ESPN for our game tonight against the Rengers. Only one loss at MSG since 2000.

loving deadline day with a game.

i'm with some of you - we are either done or we are going to make the biggest move for Kessel. But I think we're done.

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

A good point...

Tsn was joking that joker was probably hanging out at the airport today ready to fly out of Toronto.

 

[Drake744]

So we'll be losing to the Blues in the playoffs.

It's a 6th as it stands. Blues need to reach SCF's and joker has to play in one game in the finals and it turns into a fourth.

 

[TootooTrain]

A good point...

Unless it's who's nursing a secret wrist or ankle injury, sounds like a whole lotta nothin. Not alot of secrets in the NHL in terms of strategy.

Holy **** ... that Jordyn Leopold letter that they just showed on NHLN/Sportsnet

Nice to see there are some hearts behind those suits.

Not too sure about Jordan naming his daughter Jordyn though. That clearly cannot stand.
