Then we'll be competing with teams like Toronto who have younger and cheaper (but less proven) assets to move. It'll depend on whether McPhee prefers Eberle or RNH's track records or Brown or Kapanen's youth along with a package.

They specifically said "draft picks" in the next two drafts... McPhee plans on hoarding picks.

Like, he specifically said "(w)e're looking to auction Matt Dumba in exchange for draft picks"? If not, he likely means he'd want picks included in the return and for any other players he'd be moving out.

They basically said that they would take players like Methot and Dumba with the intention on moving them for more draft picks. They can't keep all the players they draft.

McPhee said this? I can't see that. He is not allowed to talk about any specific player under contract to another team. Anything I've heard is speculation and there is still no knowledge of potential side deals to protect Dumba or Methot. The speculation is Anaheim has protected both Manson and Vatanen.

So I'll take it all with many grains of salt as I think msm is just trying to generate a bunch of BS.

McPhee said they drafted a bunch of defencemen and they would need to move some. MSM have leaked that Methot and Dumba are the players they are looking to flip... It's not rocket science to figure out.

“We’re going to have to move some defencemen,” McPhee told reporters Tuesday, “because we’re going to claim a bunch.”

How is that speculation?

As I said...no names mentioned. And most of those high end guys are suspected to have deals in place to protect. And all the leafs talk is speculation.

Just msm bs.

I'm sure they're totally making that up... considering McPhee was blabbing about trade talks with the Leafs.
