Button did say something I found helpful last night, think it was concerning Kaliyev. Said this guy scored 50 this yr, 30ish as a 16 yr, you can find a lot of reasons to not like a player while ignoring what he does well.

True, we pick these guys apart, and should, but like a Caufield 72 goals is 72 goals man.

I believe Bolland was a massive point producer in Juniors. Probably many others who never did anything in the show. Not saying Darth's guy will be like them, but relying on the goal metric alone is hazardous, imo.

Marleau traded to Carolina.

TOR Trades Marleau to CAR.

The most interesting I read was Powers on the Athletic admitting that the entire media suckered themselves into believing their hype on #3

I find it refreshing admission, to balance along with Corey Proman now feeling terrific about Dach as a great third overalll even the the chameleon had him at 10 on his board, or Craig Button thinking Dach was a good pick despite his strong belief Byram is a real defenseman in his end, and Duncan Keith like, which NO dee-zone play ever evoked in my head on any views.

I am just trying to get a handle if there are trades up before the second day starts...

Marleau to Canes. Stan could have done this IMO.

Maple Leafs announced that they acquired a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Patrick Marleau, a conditional first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and a seventh-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

It’s speculated that Carolina will buy out Marleau then he’ll sign with San Jose.

Right? So much for that.

Gotcha! As long as it makes Pavelski expendable, I support their decision.

That is just a form of cap cheating, and collusion.

So... you’re saying you know of an alternative way to San Jose?

The league released the home openers for all teams.

The season starts on October 2, but the Hawks don’t open at home until October 10 (against San Jose).

Which means, I would think, two or three road games before the home opener.

Also - the Hawks aren’t the road opposition for any other team’s home opener.

They’re in Prague on the 4th, so that not that odd a date.

Source says P.K. Subban has been traded. Waiting for details on where.

Aren't they starting the season in Europe?? Or was that just a couple of exhibition games??

Marleau traded to Carolina.

HUGE price to pay to dump his contract.

So the price for a salary dump is a future first rounder based on the Marleau deal...

Get on the bat phone Stan..
