just a question... so St.Louis deals Statsny at the TDL and then misses the playoffs...

so... did St.Louis management make an error in trading Statsny?

(per Pat... think before responding please)

Leafs were guaranteed to finish 3rd. They were playing with house money. Not the same situation as St. Louis.

But what happened here?

The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired forward Tomas Tatar from the Detroit Red Wings.

Detroit receives three draft picks in return: a first-round pick (2018), a second-round pick (2019) and a third-rounder (2021).

You are assuming someone would have overpaid for Bozak.

An assumption is by no means a guarantee

Lou paid a 2nd for a 20 point center but nobody else would have taken Bozak for a 2nd.

Sure thing.

But what happened here?

Vegas getting the last piece of the puzzle.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

Tatar is a good player but holy poop did Detroit rob Vegas blind there. Tatar has played 4 playoff games with 0 points.

Good in the room.. loads of leaderships that propelled them to the conference finals.

The only thing I see here are results!

A shot at the Cup? More like a shot at a 1st round exit.

yea, that's how athletes think.

What Lou paid doesn't matter;

Still can't assume a team would offer a 2nd rd pick..

For all we know, Lou could have been shopping Bozak at the deadline and couldn't trade him cause no one was willing to pay a 2nd rd pick.

It definitely does.

Bozak would have got a 2nd.

Seriously, UGtard is ONCE AGAIN arguing over nothing.

It definitely does.

Bozak would have got a 2nd.

Me being REALLY happy.

- Feeling Glucky?

If athletes ran the team, they'd be (frank)ed. That's why managers manage and players play.

i think Bozak could have gotten a 2nd, I would hope more tbh.

I dont think he was shopped at all though

Makes me feel a little bit better about Rick Trash.

He wasn't terrible but giving up Spooner wasn't wise. Price you pay for moving bad contracts like Beleskey.

That's the reason he didn't get traded for a 2nd right there.

(frank) Spooner - we weren't resigning him anyways. I'm more concerned with the 1st and Ryan Lindgren.

i also dont think the Leafs would have taken a 2nd for him.
they were looking to make a run, Trading Bozak does not help that

- RickJames77

Lindgren looks meh.

You think the Bruins are going to bring back Alexander Khokhlachev and if not, what do you think would be a fair price for him?
