I think it's Samsonov from WSH along with Laich for a guy like Komarov
Or Reimer?

Intangibles and winning. Parenteau has neither. A 2nd is the best we get for PA I imagine.
Still saying will be more than surprised if someone is even interested in PAP. Vastly overated in Toronto market. Feather in the wind!
We need a young goalie, but perhaps Lou wants to stink for another year, or possibly two more, but Lou knows goaltending all too well. Better than anyone.
He sacrificed a first round pick for a heckuva goalie.
He might break some hearts at some point by doing it again in Toronto, but probably not before he believes we can contend.
I think Jersey would like to get Parenteau. They need him.
Or Reimer?
You think guy who is on pace for over 20 goals while driving possession won't have a single team interested in him?
He's not going to get a 1st, but this is the "miracle" thread.
Grabbing Matthew lottery or none and signing Stamkos to an actually reasonable contract.
If Stamkos wants 8 years @ 10 million = 80 million over 10 years
“no player may be eligible to contract for or receive in excess of 20% of the Club’s upper limit in total annual compensation (NHL salary plus signing, roster, reporting and all performance bonuses).â€
15 million is max money
1 @ 15 million + 7 years @ 9.3 million = 80 million over 10 years
Pay crazy for 1 year, save 700k per year over the next 7 years.
or
2 @ 15 million + 6 years @ 8.3 million = 80 million over 10 years
1st miracle was dealing Phaneuf without salary retention, while taking on salary that's no where near the same term.
2nd miracle was getting two 2nd rounders for Polak and Spaling and a contract that'll be off the books next season.
3rd miracle . . . let's see . . . possibilities (and this is just for the trade deadline):
1) Bernier dealt for a 3rd rounder and no salary retained (maybe we take back an overpaid roster player?)
2) Parenteau + a throw in gets us a mid round 1st (I don't think this is happening, but . ..)
3) Boyes for a 4th.
4) Grabner for a 2nd?
I trust in Lou to think of another miracle I haven't!
