I wonder if San Jose would be interested in a brown+ 2nd for Braun?

Doubt it

 

[OVO16]

Looking at the smaller side of things, I would be interested in Robert Bortuzzo. Probably could be had for cheap.

Not a high name target, but he's carved himself as a full time and very good bottom pairing D-man who plays really physical. Essentially, Oziganov but on steroids and more playoff experience. Big dude who gives us some much-needed swagger on defense.

Justin Holl + 4th for Bortuzzo

Toothbrush or a shaver?

So what’s the rumour de jour? Something something Nylander?

Bortuzzo is terrible. He's not even top 6 on St. Louis, why would he be here?

Even when he was top 6, he was a worse version of Ozhiganov is right now. Ozhiganov is really good, and he may even start to get more minutes soon (since Babcock may be using him more on the PK and stuff). Babcock has already started using him a little bit more in recent games 5-on-5.

Did I make it to page 1?

Yessss.

That’s something they likely seriously consider.

Braun has fallen out of favour in San Jose to some degree and may look at moving him for a Top 9 forward.

Just asking.
With Carolina sending down the goalie, would they have enough cap room for Willy?

They've got over $24 mill in cap space - even without waiving Darling they would have been ok.

Oh, so they’ve got room for Gards and Johnny T too.
I smell a blockbuster. Lol.
Thanks for the reply.
I still like so many of Carolina’s pieces.

The problem is so do they.

I really don't think a trade happens today.

Prolly right, but there’s gonna be some wild speculation between now and 5.
And IF Willy signs, wild speculation from that moment on.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yeah I think if a team is going to trade for Nylander they'll want a good handle on contract terms, and I think the Leafs' high price has teams balking at going that far.

Teams are more likely to trade in the 0ff-season when they can negotiate more. Plus the Leafs would have more suitors. A pre-draft trade would be ideal.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Yep - sign him, get him in the lineup, and figure out who we're trading. Brown for who.
