I think that's what they will do with mcginn. I still think Franson has league value without the need for retaining.

Doesn't sound like Franson is coming back anytime soon.

Hate it. The draft is fine the way it is. No need for radical chamges

I kind of like it.

UFA was designed to give players the right to go to where they want to. Why should it be different for draft eligible players?

I don't think Toronto wins more than five games the rest of the year...
- bluengold12


Considering they only won 19 games in regulation out of their last 102 games as of Feb 9th you might be being generous.

We can still retain salary on 2 more contracts, 3 is the limit.
- chilliard77



My bad
I thought that, but there were a bunch of ppl earlier saying it was 2, so I figured I just missed where it was changed

a bunch of teams would end up having to fold bc no talent would ever go there
I think it's a bad idea

He's skating, and he went on the trip so he can't be that far out.

Maybe. But those teams could offer more money than other desirable teams that could not fit a contract into their cap and future considerations.

So, don't kill the messenger, but Stamkos wants to play here. It's good info. Take it or leave it

Id prefer to look to the oilers - if we could build something for either Hall or Eberle I'd go for the known NHL skill set.
- Der Kaiser

Let's hear an offer. You know full well the team's biggest need is a legit top pairing Dman so I don't see one happening, but what kind of value would you offer for a guy like Hall and Eberle respectively?

Not. I don't get told too much, but this is the 2nd thing someone has told me about Stamkos

Hall, pass not because i don't want but because price not worth paying for us.

Eberle, Something around Pysyk/Bogo/McCabe and add?

So what you're saying is...there's a chance? And hopefully not Babcock 2.0

Would've agreed with you until Bylsma said he is dealing with 1 or 2 injuries and is a ways away from being taken of the no contact list.

Even so, aren't injured players allowed to be traded? Like he might not be healthy by deadline day but maybe a week after it?

Fair. The only way Hall moves to the Sabres is if it's for Risto but that makes little to no sense for your team.

What would be the add to a Pysyk (cause (frank) Bogo)? I'm not particularly enthused by the starting piece, but I'd like to hear you out on the rest of the idea.

I'll believe I when I see it.

Until then, it's a pipe dream.

I have no idea, was hoping you'd fill in the blanks. Need bottom 6 help? Foligno? Larsson is great defensively but non existent offensively. Take a chance on McGinn?

Pysyk, Foligno, 2nd and maybe a prospect?
