Botterill will have a lottery selection in 2018. He will also receive another premium first rounder when he trades Kane. I don’t think it is outlandish to think Botterill can receive a first rounder and a premium prospect in exchange for Reinhart.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that any team trading for Kane is going to be comfortably in the playoffs, so "premium" seems like a bit of a stretch.

I think you spelled Eichel wrong..

- Atomic Wedgie

careful, Edmonton might be dumb enough to make this type of trade..

i think we have enough picks/prospects to give up a couple in a trade.

i'm not sure we'll want to give up quality (kapanen, liljegren or brown) to get a true top-pairing dman like mcdonagh or OEL.

my guess is the biggest name dman we have a shot at is hjalmersson. but more likely we spend a 2nd on a depth dman.
- Tumbleweed

Ummmm...Kapanen and Brown would be an insulting offer to the Rangers for McDonagh. All three together? Yeah, the Leafs would do that deal all day long.

For OEL? All three wouldn't be enough.

- Atomic Wedgie

if you look at the sabres last 10 or so 1st round picks, you would say premium is a stretch there to.

You laugh and you should, cause well, it's Chiarelli....

I really hope that he gets desperate and trades Darnell Nurse for Tyler Bozak, since RNH is out long term.

How long would it take for Nurse to dummy Polak again at practise?

Better question: how long would it take for Nurse to sort through all the emails from Leafs Nation thanking him for dummying Polak again at practice?

Why can't have such an embarrassment of riches?!?! Think of the treasure trove of assets!

News flash - Gardiner doesn't know what he's doing most of the time!

Bettman must be a little terrified right now:

A Vegas-Jets Western Conference finals would be a ratings disaster in the States.

the rangers got 1.5 years of yandle for duclair, a 1st and a 2nd. i think mcdonagh for the same age, term and money would cost a little more than that.

yeah, oel will cost more. but for 1.5 years, he's not getting all 3 of those guys plus imo.

you guys got it all wrong.

chiarelli will make polak a must have in a trade for nurse.

for what?

Kadri straight up.

We add Derek Ryan and a 2nd and you give us Kapanen.

Fine.

Victor Rask.

I DIDN'T like him in the one game I saw them play against the Leafs ergo he can Faulk off.

I do like Hanifin more.

Like 3.6 seconds

Sounds like Brooksie is drinking some bad brew lately. Ranger fans would luv to get their hands on Willie. Oh well another good laugh for Lou Lams at the very least.

- Atomic Wedgie

Even better question... Would Darnell Nurse accept my offers of doing anything for him, and I mean anything, for dummying Polak at practice?

By the time the TDL comes around there is a third of a season left

You always tell people to do your homework/research. Obviously you did not heed your own wise words when it came to math

I read something about Vegas that I never really thought of in these terms...

What do SO MANY GOD DAMN teams need right now??? TOP FOUR D! Vegas got to pick up a top 4 d from as many teams as they wanted and that's why those 6 are doing so damn well. Add in great goalie, some wicked scorers and stupid Florida management and this team is good!

Definitely eating crow about them but it makes sense

Offense: Solid top 9 players all the way through + some top talent
Defense: 3rd/4th Defenders all the way through
Goalie: 2x SC Winner

Breaking it down after the success they've had I definitely had it wayyyy wrong.
- markmark

Their defense isn't great though...At least on paper. All 5/6 guys on their previous team and a top guy in Theodore.
