When did Ovechkin become a Finland citizen?

Laine doing his best impression out there on the FIN PP.

I'm starting to worry about the whole blood clot thing. That may be a career killer.

Not in Stamkos case - it's not systemic. Nothing like Bosh.

Thank you!
But it's a fact.

I don't think TOR picks are high enough to even have WPJ think about it.

jvr and gardiner are included...

I am not sure the Leafs have enough of anything to convince you

I'm not the only one that said the Jets wouldn't do it, so it's not like I'm absolutely crazy saying I wouldn't do it.

I don't really care for Gardiner.

and those two picks are basically both early 2nds.

To be honest why would Winnipeg trade an elite goal scoring prospect who will be making peanuts for first 4 years of contract. Makes no sense. Just like Toronto won't trade Matthews.

They should try to move into the top 15 with Pittsburgs pick then offer that and their second and next years first.
I think that would be a good starting point.
But what do I know, I don't do trade speculations.

See I could get behind something like this as a starting point.

Not really sure what this has to do with anything.

Next year's first? Are you kidding me?

"Sure, Matthews is good, but his two goal performance was on a Thursday in Russia."

Just goes to show you how accurate Weekdaysi stats are.

Really depends on the stat of the Franchise and where management thinks the team is.

now I am not saying its an amazing deal the Jets would have to take..but JVR and Gardiner are not throw ins.

You know it.

Banned in the Stewart thread eh?

- Matthews_Auston

Why, do you think the Leafs will be bottom of the barrel again?

What if they signed Stammer. That pick becomes immediately less valuable.

I prefer to look at them as 2 late firsts.

i think the Laine value meter for people is on the insane side currently

What if WHEN they signed Stammer. That pick becomes immediately less valuable.
- RickJames77

Fixed!

Dumbass!

- Cooshie

I'd say there's not much of a difference between late firsts and early seconds so they are interchangeable

Seriously, fellas:

Winnipeg isn't trading the pick.

If Bernier plays 60 games next year the Leafs will be bottom 5 team. And I don't have a problem with that. Tank for another year. Offer sheet McJesus in summer of 2019 with 10 mill per year. Rebuild done.

I would think he is thinking the opposite.
