Do we really need a 36 year old left-handed shooting defenseman?

I think that is the more important question to ask.

Ron Hainsey has been awesome...........................

36 year old LHD. Worked out great

Technically the leafs got kapanen, their number 1 goalie in andersson and rychel back in the deal for Kessel. I think they also got another pick. In the end I think that's a great return.

No andersen was a seperate deal

Poor Sens fans

Thinking they can trade Ryan's contract

(frank)ing hillarious

It's honestly the worst contract in the league easily.

- Santo_44



They can but Ottawa will need to retain $$ say 15~20% of his contract.

David Clarkson
- TheMussel

Clarkson was only going to be traded one way and one way only.

Trading for a guy on LTIR forever

I can say with 100% certainty that the Sens owner would never in a million years pay 30 million dollars over 4 years on nothing...................

He'd make Ryan play on one leg before paying an NHL player to sip strawberry daiquiris in Mexico

Worked out the first time.

I don't know much about him, and I doubt too many of us have seen him play either.

If he's worth something he will be traded, if not he will rot in the AHL. I guess we will see.

How about Demers instead? 29 yr old, RHD?

On the twittery thingy,

The Coyotes are believed to be looking to trade D Jason Demers, among others. He has an 8-team no-trade list.

well, a lot of people complain about Gardiner on here.

He is the same type of player but worse. So, I think there is your answer.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I give it 1 month and the Demers hate will start

Shouldn't cost much, and he'd solve the issue of the bottom pairing RHD. As anything is an upgrade over Roman Polak

2 things that are going to be fun


Sean Tierney @ChartingHockey
Goals vs expectation.
Boeser has 22 goals, well above his all-situations xG of ~9 goals.
Pacioretty has 10 but should have more like 18.


When Boeser returns to expected goal land and the Habs trade Pacioretty when his value is low and he scores a ton with his new team

No. It was a separate deal with other parts involved. I get what he is saying but that is not what you traded kessel for.

They had the 31st overall pick and they traded the 30th pick to get Andersen. That deal happens regardless.

So two AHLers, one of which might be a 3rd liner one day. They got robbed twice for Kessel.
