TB makes most sense

He would add depth to there roster and his cheap cap hit means he would be likely part of two playoff runs for them

I remember when maybe one premier player a year would be sat for trade reasons when a trade was imminent. Now sam f'n Lafferty is a prized possession.

It's more Bedard-Fantilli reasons than trade in my view.

CHI-SJ is going to be an epic tank battle tonight...in the shark tank.

Nice to watch you this last year Sam good luck

Legitimately think it will be Toronto and I don't know if I want that or not.

Unless It's a bigger deal where Domi or McCabe come with him then that's different because that would add a top 4 D or 3rd line scorer.

But If It's just Lafferty I don't know.

Here's hoping for Overtime.

Everybody settle down and form a uniform line please. Lafferty may be moving. Please contain your excitement.

All I can say is Lafferty took advantage of his ice time and has been good since the hawks acquired him. Whether he continues it elsewhere who knows.

When Tampa is willing to pay a premium to get their guy, you have to

I’ve been sent down on waivers. Have won to many gdt’s lately.

I honestly can’t wrap my head around this dude being a valuable trade piece.

Haven’t paid much attention to him after he left the Penguins. But he was always a 4th line grinder here. Must have really elevated his game in Chicago. Good for him.

I think if the jets were to get him he may end up being our best or second best bottom six player!

Entire trade forum shipped out for future considerations.

I wouldn't have guessed it would ever be necessary but the league should probably crack down on it somehow at this point

We have nothing left to give!

I think the asking price was a 2nd round pick, so if they're sitting him out it seems like they have an offer on the table.

A 2nd for Lafferty? What the?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's dumb but he's a very versatile bottom six piece. Easy player for his new teams fans to like.

 

[Flying Dego]

Never. Ever. Would I have anticipated Sam Lafferty being held out for trade precautions.

LOL. The Hawks pulling off a heist if they get any value from this jobber.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Chicago is doing well churning out all these high end grinders out of nothing. Hagel, Kampf, Lafferty in 2 year span is a nice little pipeline while you’re tanking.

He’s mostly a 3rd ish or 4th line grinder here as well. He is a guy (my opinion) teams with a lot of good offensive players needs in their bottom 6. I never watched him in Pittsburgh but he’s been great in the grinder role here. Keeps pressure on the opponent, fast, tough (but not physical) and can score if you take him lightly.
Whoever gets him at 1.15m this year and next is going to be very happy.

Or hate since your post starts with "he's dumb."
