The tweet from the verified Twitter user should be enough, no?

Just having some fun.

Nah, you're right and Dreger's also confirming it.

To me that means we are not getting a prospect back. So if it's not a 1st, then maybe 2 x 2nd's? I really don't know anymore.

That Sash guy seems not credible at all

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Well, I deleted that tweet.

Seems like a lot of people are just throwing out stuff there.

Wonder if we have a 3rd party double retaining. Also, wonder if we are moving out some kind of package like Gio + Blackwell.

I'm kinda wondering if a goalie is involved. After all, toronto needed a goalie and they waived Mrazek (although signed Sateri from KHL just today) but maybe thats a stretch lol

Yeah, seems a bit strange to me.

Hamonic's return was known right after the trade and they still don't have the details on this one over 30 minutes after the trade.

I don't think so. We are the least likely team to move a G since both have been sub-par for most of the season. Gru has turned it around in the last 2 months BUT is too expensive and too much term. Driedger is not reliable enough to trust over their current goalies.

Yeah thats true. Just throwing the idea as a wild card trade

I mean it could certainly happen but unlikely I think. The main issue with that would be cap implications. Leafs are not in the best spot right now.

Taking forever lol.

It makes me wonder if A) there really is a third team involved and/or 2) the Leafs need to tell a player that he's been traded to Seattle.

Maybe the latter, I would think the 3rd team scenario would have been figured out by now if that was the case.

Are they waiting on those details for tomorrows live show on canadien tv or what is the hold up in sharing those informations?

LOL. Trade complete. We are waiting till 12 PM PST tomorrow to give details.

Have a good day ..

Gio was taking his afternoon nap like most old people do and as a result it took a while to inform him of the trade.

LOL.

Blackwell supposedly involved as well.
I hope that makes it a 1st rounder coming back
