I stay the (frank) out of those Misc. Threads. There's some weird stuff going on in there.

Leafs traded Bernier to ANA.

Wonder if they would want Halak. He and Andersen are pretty used to splitting time over the course of their careers.

They'd probably want him if we ate 3/4 of his salary for a 7th rd pick. maybe we could sweeten the pot by throwing in a gently used chain.

Can't retain more than half. Also, I can't imagine the Islanders are going to be open to retaining salary in a trade where the entire point is to get his money off the books.

If I were Snow I would literally take simply future considerations to move his salary, aka Shanny or Lou buys Garth dinner next time we play in TOR.

Andersen and Halak. That would be a pretty sweet goaltending duo.

Uh, mostly it was a joke. I do agree with dumping him for futures to get him off the books. Do you mean a fancy dinner like Long John Silvers?

Whatever Shanny and Lou want. They could send Garth a game used Jonathan Bernier jersey for all I care. Just get Halak's salary outta my face. Try and sucker them into taking Bailey too. A good Taronna boy.

Cannot believe there is not one team that would take a chance on Bailey and think they could get more out of him than the Isles and Cappy could. I wonder how hard Garth tried to move him or was it not at all?

They would probably give up a 9th rd pick for Bailey. (that's a joke, a joke I say). Hell, they could give Garth a $5.00 off coupon at McDonalds for Baily and I'd take it.

Ishmael had no idea what happened on the other board. Kind of funny though.

Problem with Bailey is that he actually makes more than his cap hit. His hit is only $3.3M, but his actual salary this year is $3.7M and his salary next year is $4M. That eliminates teams that have to run on an internal budget that's lower than the cap.

Jokes aside, I really see TOR as a good fit for Bailey. They have a lot of young talent and could use a mediocre middle-6 veteran to help fill out the roster. They also aren't pinching pennies.

Maybe Garth can get a bunch of expired McDonalds monopoly peel-offs for him.

Its hot out today.

No, I agree. In that mold, Edmonton could be a fit. Young talent & all. I know they just signed Lucic, but...

It was a lousy contract all around to give to Bailey. He proved nothing to give him a 5 year deal. Should have been given 3 at most.

Yeah I agree, but there were also no guarantees that we wouldn't have extended him again after those 3. Imagine if we gave him 3 and then extended him for 4?

VAN would be a good fit because Jim Benning would probably send us Bo Horvat in return.
