Yzerman must've begged Stamkos and Hedman to agree to those deals.

Stamkos has a sweet deal. Hope the JT thing doesn’t drag out either way whatever he decides

Same as stamkos.
Just see whats out there.

If by chance they do sign him....throw everything you can at Parayko. Rumor he could be had for the right price.

I'd settle for Faulk as well.

Oh yeah Forsure. Doughty Karlsson OEL next year

Gardiner next year.
- Steven_Seagull

pretty curious to see where he is next season, the Leafs have already chatted about an extension...I do not think they will let this play out to where JVR and Bozie are

It is the thing with RFA and UFA's...It is hard to compare contracts to players that signed contracts years ago.

In 5 years a player will surpass Mcdavids, just like Crosbys

I still think he stays with the Islanders, but if he did sign here, that would be awesome. Go after Pesce not Faulk. Will probably be cheaper than Nylander.

Highly doubt Pesce is available

and if he is he costs Nylander

Nylander will be a star in the NHL.

Yup, that is why you stick to players who are actually available

I think so as well. I'm ok with dipping in to the prospect pool once to grab an RHD. Be it Faulk or Ellis or another second tier guy. They will cost quite a bit but I think it's worth it. Think Toronto could put together an attractive package without gutting the system.

That may be, but Carolina just got a top pairing RHD in Hamilton. Maybe Pesce does become available.

Habs can't even get an interview with Tavares

He's probably afraid of being traded for some crappy winger a few years down the road.

So is Nylander available because they have Marner, Brown, Kap, Nylander on the right side? Or is it just Kap and Brown.

Faulk is their Kap and Brown. They don't want to get rid of their Nylander in Pesce just like how the leafs don't want to trade Nylander

They just drafted their Tavares.

I think you're undervaluing Faulk.

This douggie Hamilton stuff is just hilarious.

Can't go to the museum

I heard that too. Apparently, it had to do with a team organized function and he decided to go to a museum.

Not at all. It'll cost more than a Kap or Brown.

I was just using it as an example where you would understand.

I'm not sure how "organized" it was

Listening to Fan 960, John Shannon said, "The whole team would go for lunch at Moxies and Dougie Hamilton would go to the museum."

Faulk just turned 26 and has 5 consecutive 30+ point seasons. I like Pesce more as well but I don't think he'd cost more than Faulk. I think the only reason Carolina would trade Faulk is because he only has 2 years left on his current deal.
