[Leafsmann]

That pickard trade looks even weirder now.

Will probably call up Dansk and have him back-up Subban.

Yikes. Not that pickard is a world beater, but still.

Better off keeping Pickard.

 

[IceColdBear]

Pickard for Lindberg + 5th round pick.

That looked like a pretty nasty collision with Mantha's knee to Andre-Fleury's head.

 

[Sens]

Better off keeping Pickard.

They got a pick and a prospect for Pickard... they can get some AHL vet to back up Subban

LV is all about adding assets... don't care about winning as much as possible

 

[rent free]

the leafs will loan then pickard, not trade, loan. besides its not a big deal for vegas, they aren't meant to be competitive this year anyways. giving their potential goalie of the future some starts isn't the worst thing in the world

 

[rent free]

they called up maxime legace

 

[Trapper]

LOL does McPhee have another Forsberg lying around?

 

[belair]

Eddie Pasquale and a pick for Griffin Reinhart? You can even trade him back to us after you're done with him.

You can't loan players to other NHL teams

It makes perfect sense to me. A thinly veiled attempt at tanking by George Mcphee in my opinion.

McPhee passes on guys like Raanta, Mrazek and Grubauer, ultimately deciding on Fluery and Pickard as his goaltending tandem. Maybe he came to the conclusion that the duo of Fleury/Pickard would win too many games so he dumped Pickard for Subban.

 

[Grimm]

Mrazek

 

[Mike Jones]

What about Hutchinson from Winnipeg?

 

[Jacob]

Soooo many good goalies available and McPhee loaded up on shitty d-men. Even Fleury/Pickard would've been a very good pairing, maybe top-12 in the league.

They got nothin' in the system either. Dansk stinks.

No.

McPhee took Fleury because he was the best goalie available and he's the face of the franchise, nobody knew that he would take a knee to the face last night. He took Pickard because he was Colorado's best option and he took Miller from Boston because he was their best option, are you following?
McPhee probably had Subban as his no.2 selection from Boston and when he came on waivers he took him and got whatever he could for Pickard.

Not every move he makes is awful because you don't like him.

I highly doubt this. Pickard did not look good in the preseason and the goalies you listed play on teams that had better options or Pickard was a better fit at the time.

 

[Ezekial]

Damn didn't realize it was that serious when Mantha kneed him in the head. It looked pretty bad but Flower got up pretty quick.

Pickard is better than Subban.

Oh geez, that's not good to see with Fleury. That's his 3rd concussion in like a year, that's really concerning.

 

[domiwroze]

1st 2018 + 1st 2019 + Fleury + Theo VS Price

we can add an extra Shaw.

 

[BigHabs]

Montreal would offer Montoya but doubt he's what your looking for. I think its time Montreal has Lindgren up to play with the big club.

Montreal should offer Price !

Would it matter? Erat doesn't play in the NHL anymore.
