You really know nothing of the sort....or almost in general.

This is false.

I know you have this obsessive hate for Leaf fans but no one has been obsessing over Hallender and no one has been calling him a nothing prospect.

- Santo_44

To be honest, I had to look him up when I found out we had traded him.

Mild surprise from #CBJ. The pick is not Max Domi.

#SeaKraken will be selecting D Gavin Bayreuther from Columbus.

Dubas cant move on from his guys.
Its what will potentially sink the ship and him

He wanted McCann and was ready to lose Kerfoot. He wasn’t ready to give up Holl. The acquisitions and trades he makes now are what matters. If the team looks like last year, I’ll agree.

I agree with you. Mccann would have been my pick.

I am happy we have both Holl and Kerfoot today.

I don't want to see Kerfoot a Leaf next season though, I fully expect him to be traded.

- Santo_44


Seattle has apparently signed Larsson and Oleksiak, they are taking Giordano and Vince Dunn. Cale Fleury is one of their picks.

I've said this all along.... There were too many options out there for them, I genuinely think they passed on Holl at 2 million. He doesn't make their lineup.

There was zero need to protect him.

Montreal took the gamble and exposed their franchise goaltender and won. Dubas was afraid to gamble on Justin (frank)ing Holl.... That's tough. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I disagree.

Hakstol is the coach...I bet your bottom dollar Dubas knows how much Hakstol does or doesn't like Holl.

I definitely didn't say Vegas would be garbage, but I didn't think they were going to the finals.

My memory doesn't recall Vegas passing on any Carey Price or Tarasenko calibre players. Am I wrong there?

I felt like Seattle was (frank)ing this all up the second I read their pricetag to avoid any player was a 1st and 3rd across the board. If that's accurate it's completely neutering their own potential before they even start work. Asinine.

- joel878

I’m happy that they passed on Price. I don’t want the Habs to weasel out of that contract.
As for Tarasenko I don’t know. Injury worries?

The Hakstol thing is irrelevant, he may have a voice but he isn't the GM. He knows every player on the leafs, how does anyone know he doesn't prefer Dermott at 500k cheaper to Holl?

I think by the time this list is finalized it's going to be clear as day that Holl wouldn't have even made their lineup. At that point it's a pretty easy gamble they weren't taking him at 2 million to press box him.

There's a lot of GMs who rolled the dice and didn't lose out here and every single one of them had better players to dangle than Justin Holl.

Suddenly Stud Hallander? I can’t believe we lost him. And the 2023 draft looks very good in the 7th

I disagree and Dubas probably knows.

He ran the D the last two years and have had constant conversations with him.

Someone from the Kraken or the league may legitimately get fired over this.

I don't remember this happening with the Vegas draft - but I could be wrong.

It would be so funny if there’s someone who hates him in the Kraken PR department who is leaking a completely fake list.

Maybe, but if they went the 7-3-1 route, who else would Seattle take?

As per the latest edition of the playoffs, it's pretty clear Price matters to that franchise... A lot. Putting him out there to risk losing him for nothing is a huge gamble for them. Making it out unscathed is a win.
