You have no idea how close I am to my preferred watering hole.

I just crawl under my desk and viola! But seriously, it's around the block

Ah that sucks

Good way to end Canada Day though

Or was that celebrated on Friday? Idk how you folks handle weekend holidays
- RickJames77

Saturday, today is the federal holiday for it though.

Well I knew that. That's why I noted "celebrated"

We do Friday's off for Holidays that fall on Saturday and Monday for one's that fall on Sunday. I'm sure you know that from living here though

This was probably addressed in this thread somewhere but I am too lazy to read through all the comments.

If JVR is traded, what do you guys think (realistically) is the return?

If anyone is in for a good laugh go to the comment section of the NJD blog on Johanson.

Some Arizona fan claiming the Panthers are way ahead of the Leafs and that Barkov>Matthews

Then a bunch of Devils fans calling him an idiot

Anywhere between a San Diego Gull and Drew Doughty

But more like a 2nd pairing D. Depending on who, additions may have to be made either side.

What say you?

Matthews is American. So obviously he can't be that good.

He's worth a top 4 D.

I think Barrie makes sense. JVR + a prospect

Colorado can either sign him to an extension or trade him to a contender at the deadline for a 1st, high end prospect and a pick.

We all know how much teams overpay at the deadline for a rental.

Guys, can we trade you Habsolute009? I'll throw in a second rounder. We ask for barely anything back.

JvR be a huge trade come TDL. Teams would def give a ransom for him

Keep your 2nd. We'll add a 1st. You take Fakepartofme

Same. I was a little saddened to lose Boyle. I really dug him. But they got a replacement for a third of his cost.

Just waiting on a trade now.
- weirdoh

I have no idea why Boyle went to Jersey. I figured he'd join a contending team but I suppose 5 million is 5 million.

Bye Kraptstain, hello Pet.m.d

Been meaning to swap that out

Absolutely.

A 29-30 goalscorer for a couple of mil. 15 teams will be lining up

You have to take Bruiniak and Kaptaan. No picks.

Leafs might be that team to trade him then. I haven't seen what the salary cap looks like so I'm guessing it's fine.

OMG SOLD.

Fake has untapped potential.

Walshyfan makes trades like Bergevin. See how it is to be on the other side.

Habs just hired Hemsky.

I'm not even kidding.

No idea of for how much.

I think he probably likes the area.

$1m 1 yr I think....not a bad signing

Yup. And whoever has him can retain 50% and a team crushed against the cap would pay a lot for a 2 million cap hit of 30 goals and 60 points.

He also has had success in the playoffs.

That's why I believe this Barrie rumour...Sakic would be smart to take him.

Oh.

That's fine.

He'll be great for the whole 30 games he'll play I'm sure.
