News Article: News and Notes XXV: Higher than the Highest Boss

[DougieSmash]

Not a fan of Kadri at all.

 

[AD Skinner]

What if they moved one or two of the knocking on the door guys for kadri? Don't think they'd get it done for nylander though who knows with the holdout forcing some hands. Like one of mckeown/fleury/maybe even bean and a bishop type role player?

 

[dogbazinho]

Any time I question moving Faulk or Pesce or another defensemen I remind myself that we are going to lose someone to Seattle anyway. Better to get a forward and lose someone worse later.

 

[DougieSmash]

We scout Toronto but Nylander is not in the game. Maybe it's for Brown/Hyman/Kapanen/Kadri.

 

[geehaad]

I don't understand how moving Kadri is beneficial to TOR. All I've heard from their fans is that he fills a role that they'd sorely miss if he were vacated, and that his contract is a honey of a deal for what he brings. If you have a guy who provides great value, you don't toss him aside so you can be more liberal in negotiating a higher-dollar holdout.

tl;dr - Moving Kadri doesn't help TOR.

In reality, I would love it if Dubas starts making some horrible moves. Everyone thought he was going to be Christ incarnate. Also as a F’you too the particular set of Fans that give us crap year after year. I like some of the team which is funny. Austin Matthews and Tavares has been stand out guys. Not a fan of Kadri, think he plays dirty and Andersen for not signing with us for whatever reason. I don’t mind some of the other Canadian teams but Toronto is the empitime of Canadian Superiority Complex

If we included Rask going the other way, it could soften the blow to center for them.

I think we want Nylander to be honest. We currently only have Williams and Zykov as righties in the whole forward group (well Necas and Roy if he stayed), and Ferland/Svech are lefties likely to stay there. Losing Lindy and Stempniak hurt us in this respect which used to be an issue a few of years ago too. Having some righties playing right wing that can make plays is pretty important. Hamilton pinches frequently down the right side, and off of left sided cycles righties can take better advantage of both he and Faulk better than lefties can. Nylander checks a lot of boxes, he’s both shooter and passer, is righty and may even be to help center duties on occasion. At least some face offs possibly a la Lindy. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we pulled that off, though a move for Kadri also makes a lot of sense from our side.

 

[AD Skinner]

Are teams allowed to trade injured players?

 

[Lempo]

Are teams allowed to trade injured players?

People of the net say yes. Evander Kane is given as an example. The clause giving the Club the right to Trade the SPC doesn't have any caveat about injury or the player being on LTIR (or any other caveat for that matter).

But you can't buy them out, see: Jared Cowen.

 

[AD Skinner]

Then shoot yeah I'd move Rask in the deal. I dont know if they would be all that interested at his salary though, especially if he's not even going to play for a while

 

[Oldracer]

Hayden Fleury , healthy scratch for Checks game last night.

 

[AD Skinner]

maeks u think

 

[DougieSmash]

Fleury is much better than TVR.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

And I'm sure that works for you. But I'm more of a "underrated role player" guy. Frankly, if I was confident he'd be around for awhile, I'd go with McGinn.

Get yourself a throwback Jeff Daniels.

 

[spockBokk]

I think we want Nylander to be honest.

I agree. Nylander makes the most sense...But, I wonder who the team is scouting these last few games outside of Kadri. Maybe Kapanen, but I don’t see any players other than Nylander or Kadri on TOR that are immediately better than what’s on the roster already. Might be an interesting few weeks leading up to 12/1.

 

[RodTheBawd]

We scout Toronto but Nylander is not in the game. Maybe it's for Brown/Hyman/Kapanen/Kadri.

Timely hot taek.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Does Toronto have any right shooting dmen? You can never have enough.....

 

[SlavinAway]

Does Toronto have any right shooting dmen? You can never have enough.....

Well according to their fans on here we don’t have any good ones either...

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Hayden Fleury , healthy scratch for Checks game last night.

I’d really like to know what the reason behind this is.

 

[Unsustainable]

I’d really like to know what the reason behind this is.

Maybe he wasn’t feeling good?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Maybe he wasn’t feeling good?

So an unhealthy healthy scratch?

 

[MinJaBen]

I’d really like to know what the reason behind this is.

I was listening to the pregame on 99.9 the Fan and their guy asked Rod about Slavin not skating and Fleury not playing last game and his answer about Fleury was “I don’t know anything about that”, but his tone seemed suspicious.

 

[Lempo]

Saving him for Tronno.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Some strange for sure..

 

[AeroFishOne]

I’d probably lose my S*** if Slavin is traded for Nylander. If we trade for Nylander is the presumption that he will come to us signed longterm or is it a wink and a promise trade where he signs once he’s here.
