Wonder what it was

[Toronto makebeleifs]

There are probably 10 teams that made an offer. Nothing to report.

 

[Go Wings]

Gonna trade 2 first round picks again Toronto lmao

 

[member 157595]

He's a great fit so it makes sense to bid on him.

However, I don't know if we can afford to compete with the Hamonic + 1st + prospect for Duchene rumor that's floating around.

After the Kessel debacle and the Matthews lottery, I doubt Toronto trades unprotected 1st round picks ever again unless it's a slam-dunk.

Yeah unfortunately our management is that bad.

This is what I'm thinking too.

The difference this time is Toronto (most likely) won't end up trading away 2nd overall and 9th overall. I still wouldn't do that for Hamonic, but it wouldn't be a disaster.

Late 1sts aren't guarantees.

Kovalchuk deal?

 

[CraigBillington]

Thing is, I don't get why this is news. Any team wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't have interest?

Or would it even be news if say Carolina made a pitch?

 

[pylon17]

After seeing what Hammer returned, I'm not looking to overpay.

Of course, but you get my point.

I think that we're bidding picks + prospects and NYI's asking for Kadri right now.

Please get him Leafs. He is so overrated and leafs wil still have no legit 1st pairing dman on that team.

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

Would fit perfectly

Lou usually doesn't mess around when it comes to players he wants..... would Kap + 17th OV get it done?

Meaning no offense to Carolina, we aren't Carolina. We have by far the most English-speaking hockey fans of any hockey team in North America. That doesn't make us better as fans but there are more of us to sell news to.

 

[Fandlauer]

Didn't he specifically request to go West?

Doesn't seem prudent to trade for a guy that you know won't want to be there.

 

[WTFMAN99]

No thanks. Wouldn't pay that much at all.

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Kovalchuk deal?

Huh? Leafs have been hiding Lupul and Robidas and gets away with it while Lupul cleared medical for expansion draft. Get real we aren't talking about some 3rd tier garbage here. We are talking about Real Madrid and Manchester United of hockey here, if Kovalchuk signed that deal with Leafs we get away with it.

Rielly and Gardiner both are.

How would you feel if we just missed the playoffs next year and our 1st rounder became one of the top 3 picks?

Yikes, no thanks. Add to Kap and our first and you have the base to go after an elite defender. I'd rather sell the farm for a Trouba or someone else.

 

[Islesfan22]

Hamonic is going to be a steal for someone. He wants to go out west as we all know. Hammer won't give that much offensively maybe 20-25 points but defensively he's a horse. To bad as I would much rather move dehaan then Hamonic.

Are you another Oiler fan that doesn't watch hockey?
