Confirmed Trade: [MIN/CHI] Marc-Andre Fleury for 2022 conditional 1st round pick

[Vancouver Canucks]

I'm not referring to his ability to get along in the locker room. Any goaltender newbie or veteran going to a new team or new defenseman all need to adjust to each other on ice with what to expect from each other .. communication, style of play , when to support each other ect..

I mean, he's been known for that, ever since he was in Pittsburgh.

They could be planning to bring Wallstedt over next season and actually think he is NHL ready.

I am not saying I agree outright, but that is also likely key to this rumor.

That is the word here in sweden

Glad Kyle Dubas didn't bite.

One of those rare moments.

 

[TheNumber4]

Can someone tell me the condition on the pick so I don’t have to waste precious minutes finding it.

Enjoy your spring. Toronto = one of the few places where draft picks and prospects are more important than Stanley Cups.

We all know Toronto players win the NHL Golf cup every year.

Smart of Minny to wait until after the winter months to trade for MAF. Should help keep his motivation up.

I think he can be a great mentor for his backups.

Because? Chicago’s winters are vastly different than winters in Minnesota?

Minnesota's winters are less windy.

Depends on where you are in Minnesota. Prairie drifts are real. But yes, in the cities, you are correct

Xcel Arena is probably in the cities, right?

It is. It’s in St. Paul

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

It is. It’s in St. Paul

As figured.

Minnesota and Illinois are not that far away and it's only 2 months...

Yeah and this is prbly best case scenario for him in a trade (or one of). I think it's like a 90 minute flight.

OK thanks for clarification. MAF at the start of the season with new teammates struggled, the talent level was there obviously, some of that is fair to blame on the ex coach who was literally out of his league coaching at the nhl , but also the players and communications as maf later admitted.. so while Minnesota definitely has a solid coach , it's understandable for things to take some time to adjust .... I'm hoping he leads them to a cup he certainly is a great goalie who can still play at a high level..

Fleury to Minnesota for a 2nd round pick. Will be a 1st round pick ONLY if Minnesota makes it to the conference finals AND Fleury had 4 wins in the 1st 2 rounds.

Yeah, I wish him the best for his fourth Cup.

Looks like we'll have to wait one more game for his debut.

Leafs have traded away most of their picks for 2022
2nd
3rd(they have the Jets pick instead)
4th
5th
6th
7th(not sure if Leaf/Jackets own it)

 

[dj Mahoney]

Getting yourself so worked up over the next Jeremy Bracco you wet your pants is what Leaf fans live for ,

That's nice of them.

It would be great if the owners and players could agree to a pause in hockey for a few days after thet rade deadline for players to finalize there stuff and report to there new teams..
