That is a TERRIBLE trade for Hartman.

Hartman is not worth a 1st,

1st round picks are being tossed around right now. Benning - pick up the phone and get one.

Benning has the worst poker face in the entire NHL.

So no he wont get anything.

cause they have no cap space and will have to pay him next season. Seabrook/Keith/Toews/Kane/Crawford are going to hurt that franchise for the next 6 years.

I agree but silly to keep moving out support players of that talent. Its treading water & questionabke trade for the Hawks. They need to unload cap soon.

Jets get Paul Statsny from the Blues for 1st round pick, 4th round pick and prospect Erik Foley

I love this deal for STL, that's a huge return and they have some pretty good forward depth.

Blues retain 50%. Definitely a big factor in the trade. He is overpaid big time.

Fortifies my strat to wait for a 2nd for Vanek. Nitty gritty time for PO GM’s.

Ohh great benning trades for another middling forward


Uggghh

VGK and VAN working to finalize a trade. Forward Brendan Leipsic sounds like he’s heading to VAN. Potential return would be defenseman Philip Holm.

Chi just cycles through prospects on their ELC's because their core are so expensive.

He's a UFA at year end though, right?

Agree. StL did well for an injury proner.

I get that but its folly IMO.
Hamstrung by contracts is on Bowman.

He's been developed at the AHL level properly and is 23. plays pretty fiesty. We gave up a undrafted free agent for him. This is a win.

VAN lacks so much depth on the blue line, I don't get this move. Holm has played 1 NHL game, and has been an absolute beast in Utica/AHL. Silver lining is, anything you get for Holm, you could consider "free" considering he was a free agent signing, but I still don't get this move..

EDIT - this deal is done and confirmed. 1 for 1. Leipsic for Holm.

Perfect...another small, soft left winger is exactly what we need!!

Power shift in the west


Is this another one of Green’s Portland boys?

From what ive seen, you're not talking about the player we acquired.

Didn’t even give Golm a chance. Hope he gets a decent look on the Knights. Leipsic is interesting. This kinda trade has no winner and loser. More of a wait and see imo

This is Willy D all over again.

Green had Leipsic in Portland where he led in 2012-2013 where he scored 120 points.

Toronto media are giving Jim Benning big props for this trade. Thinks that he would fit absolutely perfectly with Boeser/Horvat because he is a smart playmaker and passer. I don't really know much about Leipsic

Yeah, according to his scouting report he’s got some grit
