At minimum a 4th.. It could be as high as a 2nd rd pick.. It was a good trade for Detroit
- PatC80

could work out really well if the flyers make the playoffs.

but if he falls flat on his face, flyers are only out a 4th. good risk/reward move for the flyers.

that's the first time, I have been called 'Sir' without the words "you're causing a scene" at the end of it.
- PatC80

Maybe.

Nobody looks at Jeff Carter's contract and thinks he's overpaid these days though.
- TheMussel

Np, but they were certainly looking at Dustin Bewon's last year...

You think he would only have 5 on the Leafs, look who he's playing for.
- bobbyisno1

Yes, I do..

Morgan Rielly only has 5 goals this year as well.. Jake Gardiner only has 4.

John Tavares is the same age as Karlsson but if I was going to give up something significantly in a hockey trade it would be to aquire J.T. and not Karlsson. Again only my opinion.

Sure, but Jeff Carter is much more of a player in the mould of Johnny T

Bell Let's Talk though bro.
- AdamFrench

Ya he never stops talking.

Maybe.

Isn't he on one of those cap circumventing deals?

those could pan out (best case scenario) as #1 and #2 overall.
but as well could pan out as pick #22 and pick #26 overall (16-31 if both teams make playoffs) for example.
JVR might put NYI in playoffs (in their minds at least)
- MaximusAurelius

Not happening though.

- AdamFrench

yep

Isn't he on one of those cap circumventing deals?
- AdamFrench

Yes and no.

His salary goes down to 2m a year for the last two years, with a cap hit of 5.5 or whatever.

VAN and pending UFA D Erik Gudbranson are on track to conclude a multi-year contract extension sometime this week, perhaps as early as today. I discussed yesterday what it might look like:


- Tumbleweed

So Marner and 1st for Gudbranson isn't happening?? That's too bad.

We were so close

- PatC80

I'm sure Marner and Nylander get it done for Tanev though. Throw in a 1st if we have to.

What about Drew Doughty?

garbageson's value will go up now that he'll be locked up long-term.

nylander, marner and 1st for a signed badbrason.

Elliotte Friedman did say it would take a special offer to get Tanev on Saturday night..

Maybe that means Matthews, two 1st's and a 2nd for Tanev

tanev's latest injury is expected to keep him out 3-4 weeks longer than 1st anticipated.

that trade is a steal for a player that will be well rested for the playoffs

I wish...

the dude has a fractured leg. Yeah, he will be very well rested, and then get injured again just before the playoffs.

Only guy I would be interested in is Grabner. And if he's too expensive I say we go with what we got.

good point. we might be able to grind them down and give them a 3rd instead of a 2nd in that deal.

Not sick?
Trade?
