The Centre position for Leafs is looking pretty good

Matthews... 54 pts
Kadri...47 pts
Bozak... 39pts
Boyle... 22 pts

Why not? None are in the plans for next season. Why not get an asset for any player who won't be re-signed?

I would do it. I would move any and all UFAs to be honest save one goalie. just saying I don't know if he would unless he is getting one back. I don't see him wanting to pull up 3 dmen with the Phantoms in a playoff race. Could be wrong but its just what I sense

Burrows to Sens

2 year extension in the trade too

We're going to get that 2nd wildcard seed come hell or high water

Is this what you tell people on the hotline?

3 year, $4.7 mil for Kucherov!

They'll trade Filppula no problem, and probably find a way to get a good asset out of it too. Hell, they'll probably trade Callahan to Vancouver or something.
- Mononoke

The Kucherov thing still angers me to this day

Some people laugh at me on here when I say it, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: Bellemare could do what Coots does for 1/4 the cost. They're pretty similar players, and I actually think Bellemare might be better defensively. And during the win streak, he did fill that role, and we won. People can criticize me for saying it, but the truth is the truth. People get way too attached to dime a dozen guys like Coots. If we could trade him for a 1st or 2nd even, I would in a heartbeat.
- Mononoke

Correct

Is this something I posted? I can't remember what I put on here.

Kucherov should be pissed at his agent. Filppula makes more

He is now at 54 points in 53 games and is getting better

I'll be surprised if the Flyers are able to move 1 defenseman.

It was only a bridge deal.

Even though it would never happen, I'd love for the NHL to remove compensation from RFAs

In this year from hell, watch them get another top 5 pick so they can get another Drouin level prospect to add to that team, like what happened a few years ago.

Hanzal as a rental is worth a bunch of picks, but Kucherov on a long-term deal isn't

You know that's not the reason. They don't want to make enemies and step on toes.

Yzerman will have them tanking like crazy

The national holiday that is "Trade Deadline Day" is really shaping up.

Can't wait until every GM is an actual intelligent person who doesn't get angry when opposing GMs follow the rules of the CBA.

Bishop deal was pretty horrible though. When you see guys like Frederik Andersen get a 1st and 2nd last summer......that's what happens sometimes when you wait. Market changes. Tbf, they went in thinking they could win a Cup this year before nightmare scenario occurred. It's not as bad as a bubble team holding onto depreciating assets.

Boyle though for what could be a top 45 pick is pretty good. Toronto actually had a deal for Bellemare for their 1st, but Hextall and Hakstol declined.

In a little over 16 months, Kucherov will be signing an eight year extension at close to $9m AAV.
