Brace yourself for the flood of Trouba to the Leafs threads on the main boards. Ugh
How about PoMo for Babcock?

Maybe Roslovic for Leddy.
And don't sell the Island short. I think it's high on Jacob's list.

Any trade with philly I would like Chevy to try and get Frost
I think it will be either Philly or the Canes.
So 1st, Frost and Sanheim it is!Sanheim is real nice.

I just think both might test free agency. Vancouver might have some cap space to burn and Tanev may elect to go play with his brother. He might also elect to just go with the highest bidder. Chiarot kept mentioning how he loves playing in Canada over and over again. He did say he likes Winnipeg because it reminds him of his hometown but he kept mentioning how he loves playing in Canada and on Hockey Night in Canada. I think he tests FA just to see which Canadian teams have interest in him.
You want the guy that has won less playoff series then Mo in the last 10 years and payed probably 5 times as much? No thanks.

I feel quite confident the Jet's will go 5 yrs at $ 5 mil for Myers. This is assuming that Trouba is "not" returning, which looks very probable.
I hope Trouba doesn't return -- we'll do fine without him, and pick up some young 1st round draft picks, or a good young 2nd line center.
This is the way to go --sign the guy that wants to be here --and that's Myers.
Evolving Hockey's statistical analysis has Myers projected as a $6.19 million UFA. What do you think they are missing in their analysis?Wanting to be here is nice, but it is not enough. Myers at 5x5 costs us some other player. It costs us what little cap flexibility we might have. It cuts our trade flexibility for Trouba way down. Myers just isn't a 5 mil player.
Myers' market value is way over $5 million. Evolving Wild projects him at 7 x $6.2M as a UFA. $5.5M per year on a 6+ year contract would be a discount based on the market.
Myers ranked 94th among NHL D in xGPM_60 this past season, in the same range as Pulock, Carlo, Slavin, Brodie, Sergachev, McNabb, Dermott, etc. That's a solid 2nd pairing ranking.
A few teams are going to bet that Myers is past his injury woes of the past few years and offer him a substantial contract.
It was a joke. I don’t want either of them coaching the Jets
Just goes to show that even the "best coach in the league" has his issues. The effects of coaching are so overrated sometimes.
I don’t think Babcock was as good of a coach as many think he was. I think he was gifted a generational team and stellar scouting staff in Detroit
Most would agree. No coach is really all that great. Coaches have their particular system and strengths with certain types of player but no matter what a coach is only ever as good as his roster. If the players execute a system then they will win. If they don't, they likely wont win.
I saw a study not long ago, think it was on NHL Numbers, that coaching changes has virtually no major impact on a teams play. That the major impacts tend to came from player changes. You want to shake up a roster you make some trades. Most people would attribute the Islanders recent success to Barry Trotz. But maybe simply moving Tavares out. And adding Martin, Komorov, Filpulla, Toews and Lehner had a far greater effect.
I'd take Nylander and Dermott tbh.Brace yourself for the flood of Trouba to the Leafs threads on the main boards. Ugh
No thanks to Nylander that contract and his play is big no for me
