i would avatar bet the leafs win the cup 3 years in a row with that d

lol @ oz/painsey still being there

gotta be realistic

Marroon is def on the block.

Petro for Johnson and a 1st no bueno.
- Taynos

Upon cap-friendlying your team, damn... fire your GM (frank) lol..

Blues would be almost MAGA stupid if they dont blow it up. They should be acquiring picks and young speedy players. A a first and a young speedy Johnsson wouldn't be the worst thing for you guys. Theres going to be pain, but in 4-5 years you could be back in contention with guys like Kyrou, Fabbri, Parayko, Dunn etc.. You gotta move on from the core, it's done.

yeah, not sure why they would do that
- senstroll

they basically save his career and watch him become a good nhler and then they trade him for some guy that is a little bit worse in every area lol

makes sense i guess

gotta be realistic
- TheMussel

This doesn't make sense to me. Are there picks going back for Nino?

Only 1.5 million cap difference between them.
- TheMussel

I’d think Nino is the better player....

The wild get some cap savings. Maybe they want to do more.

Nino is good
- senstroll

Maybe Carolina is gearing up to move Ferland? Nino plays a heavy game.

1 for 1

No salary retention in the Niederreiter - Rask deal. Straight up.

thats the type of move Dubas needs to get in on. Nino is very good and pretty underrrated.

Canes are smart and this is a good move

Two overpaid under-performing players for one another. Yay!

Canes caught the wild gm (whoever he is) in a 5am acid trip methinks

But Maroon is negative value.
- markmark

He makes 1.75m. And by the time the deadline comes around most of it will paid off. It's not cap dump to move him

I'll just unblock it with a pipe cleaner
- TheMussel

good old' pipe cleaners... Always knew they had more than one purpose

You mean other than grade school arts and crafts?

- AdamFrench

Maybe the Wild were thinking that if you are going to have an overpaid player might as well take the one with less of a cap hit.

nino's down year is like par with rask's good years

one is not like the other

UNLEASH THE GRAPHS!!

- Taynos

No, exactly. Plus, he shouldn't cost a lot.. We could use the added toughness.

Pietrangelo and Maroon for Johnsson, Liljegren, Gardiner and a 2nd rd pick

- TheMussel

As long as there are no other follow up questions... Yes.

but did they look at the graphs?

i mean, look at all the graphs, graphs don't lie.

UNLEASH THE GRAPHS!!
- Arctic_AARDVARK

the other option is to continue to bash gardiner.... Graphs, Gardiner, graphs, Gardiner ....

one is not like the other

I like Nino, but let's be real. An advanced stats darling 40 point winger for 5.25mil is a bit rough. Rask ain't great though. Agreed. Maybe this finally spells the end of all those rumours on Coyle? Or the Wild expect the departure of Staal in the off-season?

I just applied to take over for Armstrong. They are looking over my resume. I've won 4 fantasy hockey championships and am Platinum rated on Yahoo fantasy. Back in my playing says , I was gritty 2 way roller hockey forward on the Tennis Courts back in St Louis, and possessed world class agility and hand eye coordination at NHL '95.

The Leafs do need a 4th line C upgrade, something to consider

- Santo_44

Maybe the Wild want to get younger and are looking to rebuild on the fly.

Niederreiter is 26
Rask is 25

for the Canes who are last in cap spending, thats a no brainer
