[Roo Mad Bro]

Mandog just posted a goodbye on twitter. He’s not coming back!!!

 

[Tripod]

I still see a minor trade to thin the goalies coming.

i got tingly feelings reading that

 

[FlyTimmo]

I hope he gets a couple year deal. He was better than Hagg and AMac for a few stretches this year.

 

[BritainStix]

Nice guy Brandon. Terrible hockey player. He gave it all every minute he stepped onto the ice and I have a ton of respect for that. But he really is so far out of his depth at the NHL level.

 

[Jtown]

The fact that mandog has lasted in the nhl this long is just a testament to who he is. A guy with less charachter and same ability wouldn't even come close to getting on a roster. good luck to him and I hope he signs with Calgary for obvious reasons

 

[kudymen]

Maybe someday we will sign him to a five year deal or as a PK coach or something

 

[wankstifier]

What would the ask on Panarin be?

 

[duffy9748]

Add a top 4 D, a depth forward and an upgrade in goal and suddenly this team is exciting again. All easily doable with the cap space and assets at Hextall’s expense.

The JVR deal is pretty fair IMO. Five years isn’t too long and won’t hurt them from signing any of their young core pieces. I like that he added a top 6 forward without crippling the team’s ability to add what it really needs.

 

[Prongo]

Trade for EK and my life will be complete.

 

[FlyTimmo]

What would the ask on Panarin be?

Hard to gauge really. With the reports out that he wants to be in only a very limited # of NHL cities could impact his value, even if it isn't necessarily true. Along with only 1 year left on his deal it is really hard to estimate.

If we didn't go out and grab JVR, he'd be my top target. Panarin - Patrick - Voracek would be a dominant line.

The most I'd give up would be 1st + 3rd + one of Ratcliffe or Allison.

i too like evengy kuznetsov

[Alex91]

The more I think about it if you can get Bozak on a 2y +5mili contract then you do it hoping that a) we can sell him off at tdl to a team with cap b) you start Frost at wing next year with the goal of moving him to 3C and Bozak to 4C by the end of the year. I’ve been vocal that I don’t want Bozak here because he isn’t as a good as his numbers suggest, but 2 years is the perfect term. If he ask for 3 with lower AAV then it’s a no and move on.

 

[mja]

What would the ask on Panarin be?

No idea. He seems headed to UFA next season, which lowers his value. If I were C-bus, I'd be looking for an impact roster player plus futures. I personally wouldn't think that Simmonds would be enough of an impact player to anchor such a deal, but who knows with intangibles and grit and all of that? That'd be one helluva coup for us but I can't see C-bus trading him within the division.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Tavares gonna shock the league and sign with Golden State. RIP NBA

Assuming Panarin shows interest in an extension, I'd make a much stronger offer than that. He's right there with Tavares in value

 

[flyersfan187]

In no way would I move Giroux back to center. I'd rather have a fresher Giroux playing left or right wing. There is also no way Hextall doesn't sign or trade for a center for the third line.

That would be the issue. I'd give up a lot more for him if I knew he would sign a 7 year deal here.

Connor Brown + for Simmonds

simmonds would be a great fit for the leafs imo.

Won’t miss you, not sorry for being a dick you killed our playoff run

I'd make the deal without a guarantee and then throw a Brinks truck at him and dare him to go elsewhere.

We have Giroux and JVR at LW now. We are not going after Panarin.
