I swear to goodness, I'm not joking when I say this:

I would not bring Konecny to Toronto, because it will just stir up the hornet's next of how we could have had him for nothing, but chose to trade down for Bracco and Dermott.

You know Steve Simmons and Komisaraus Rex will be all over it.
- Atomic Wedgie

Thats fine as the hornet's nest would be absolutely correct
Besides, if he played well and helped the leafs beyond round 1, it wouldbe worth it

It’s art.

geopolitical situation is different though, Michkov is signed until 2026 and who knows if he will be able to come over. Teams with multiple 1st round picks could be willing to take that risk.

Kuznetsov was signed for 3 years.

Tarasenko was signed for 4.

I would still have picked them over some poop who can show up to my AHL team in 2 years.

Malkin was signed until he was 24 with Magnitogorsk and magically he showed up in Pittsburgh before then.


You don't waste a pick like this because you're some cold war era spook who doesn't understand what an MHL/KHL contract is.

Its a trade I doubt happens.

What's extra funny is if Dubas kept the pick and picked Konency Leaf fans would be like "Classic Dubas drafting small weak wingers, should have drafted a D or some 6 foot 8 guy.

Maybe a couple, but dont broad brush all leafs fans. Most on here at the time were not happy they didnt draft konecny

it was a beautiful goal...and horrible defensive coverage by the NYR
- Symba007

Agreed, but you forgot the point about the Vezina winning goalie still looking for his jock strap and 21Peter running to the bathroom to puke.

I am not. It's flooded in here every time he drafts a player under 6 ft.

Habs will draft him with Florida's pick and you will like it!

Sure Wedgie, like anyhone gives a flying poop about anything that mentally challenged and spherically gifted dork says.

Simmons and Komanic aren't the same guy?!

Re meier

Friedman said NJD very interested.

Can see Leafs getting him and flipping him.



So Leafs trade a big package for Meier, get him for a run and then flip him to NJD in the offseason where NJD could get him for a cheaper price than now.

What's their issue.

Such a mess of a team.

Trading Horvat and keeping Kuzmenko and Miller?

just seem so directionless. no plan. winging it as they go

Not sure what this one means...

950K? sounds like something TB would empty every last drop of prospect and draft capital they have left for.

But no lets keep him and keep hearing the "Bruce there it is" chants for the next decade.

Seems like a good time to put your resume in and see if you can get some AGM money.

deal seems fine, but i dont get it for the Canooks. he is running hot, with numbers that will regress back down, it was the perfect time to flip him.

now they will hold him and he value will sink.

Maybe teams are worried he will disappear in the playoffs?

It's now an even better time to flip him.

The NTC won't kick in until July 1st.

Looking at SJ they some nice depth pieces too.

Benning- 3 years at 1.25M, 19 mins a night this season and actually playing well

Lorentz- 6'4" 205 pounds, nice player to throw in

Sturm- 2Mx3 years, solid bottom 6 C

It's now an even better time to flip him.

id be shocked if that was the plan they have


but so far nothing leads me to believe they got smart in the last 24 hours
