Did Elliott say this, or is this speculation added to Elliott’s thoughts???

Cough Yandle home to Boston, Cough Yandle home to Boston.

 

[SpezDispenser]

They don't see Yandle in their top 6 D?

 

[PP Subban]

SOOOOONNNNKKKKKK

 

[Jerzey Devil]

I read that as the Habs and Leafs were worried about losing those players in a trade for Dubois.

Q must REALLY have a problem with Yands. Not a way you want to start the season if you're a Panthers fan.

Um why? The defense was a disaster the last few seasons and they’re pushing to fix it. While I don’t have an issue with yandle (he’s top 5 in scoring for d-men), I also am very open to changes.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I guess moving or trying to move Yandle and Nutivaara’s injury could explain the Forsling and Juulsen waiver claims for #6 and #7 defenseman until Nuti returns if Yandle is indeed out in Florida.

Sooonked!!!!! Pack your bags Keith

Cough Yandle home to Boston, Cough Yandle home to Boston.

Makes sense

I’m worried that we are handling Yandle in a way that makes it less likely for Huby and Barky to re-sign: we gave him a NMC and are now trying to get him to waive by threatening his record streak.

 

[ottomaddox]

I don't know a lot about FLA. Who will replace his 45 points on D?

 

[FrolikFan67]

Oh please be true. If zito was able to trade matheson then he’s capable of anything. There’s gotta be a team that’s willing to take him on if they’re lacking on D, that won’t mind protecting him in the expansion draft, if we’re taking salary back (obviously). Just a matter of him waiving. It’s a NMC

 

[nickdawg95]

Risto for Yandle swap ?

Fix it the same week the season opens? Fix it by clashing with a productive veteran assistant Captain who is also the most senior player on the team? Threatening his league leading iron man streak to try and force him to waive his NTC?

I can get Q not liking his attitude, I probably wouldn't either if I was his coach. Just seems a lot less than ideal.

 

[Taluss]

What would the return ideally look like?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I still dont get the point of this tweet
with Dell , Mete or Dubois

sounds like a bunch of rubbish put together

I'm assuming he is saying why the Leafs and Habs waived who they did. Also, Toronto will have three goalies on their active roster versus having one on the taxi squad because they are worried about losing Dell.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I mean from habs perspective , Mete was never gonna be waived.

I really don't get that point.

Yandle for Keith?

Or Keith for Duncan?

 

[Henkka]

Cough Yandle home to Boston, Cough Yandle home to Boston.

He is probably the nearest comparison for Krug.

Not to mention he is probably a favorite among teammates.

To explain why a veteran like Perry would get waived.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

To explain why a veteran like Perry would get waived.

I mean everyone knew that Perry was gonna be a taxi squad player.
