Why are they talking trade when it may be 5 months before the trade window is open again?
I don't see Leafs giving up both of those players for one defenseman. Especially one who has yet to play up to the reputation he had at the draft. What is his contract like?

“Trusted source”

Is this the guy that gave you the tip that time 8 years ago when you actually got one right?

Hard NO. Ristoluenen (sp?) is bad. Fortunately if it is rumoured here it won’t happen.

If the sabres could get anything more for Risto the deal would’ve happened by now. They can not!! They need to realize this is addition by subtraction and take whatever you can get and move on!! Call it a blessing you can no longer play a bottom pair D top pairing minutes

Try again Eklund, I will check back tomorrow for your next attempt at something doable. How about James Tanner straight up for Eklund ?? Now we are getting somewhere

Except for the fact that he's not, I agree.

I would take Barrie over Ristolainen, but I would like to see how good Ristolainen could be on a good team. I bet he would be a great addition to a team like Tampa bay.

Naturally. Finger was an AHL defender. It was acknowledged later that they tendered the ufa offer thinking he was a different player, though.

I still remember the headline..."Leafs give fans the Finger." 4 years/$14 mil.

that was never acknowledged at all. It was blatantly said to be untrue, and there have been recent articles confirming that was indeed a lot of BS, and that he had several offers in the same vicinity. It ended up being a disaster, but do'nt resort to Steve Simmons type posting.

This is from the Athletic on an entire article on Jeff Finger just last month:


The agent and then-GM Cliff Fletcher went back and forth and were able to hammer out a deal, essentially matching what other clubs had been offering: Four years and $14 million.

For a player who wasn’t an NHL regular until he was 28 years old and was earning AHL money – less than $90,000 a season – for most of his career, it was an unfathomable windfall. And it meant he would be playing for the Leafs, in Toronto, the hockey Mecca.

Finger was blown away that day.

“Yes, to be honest with you,” he said. “Yes. I mean I knew there was going to be demand. Neil got some scoop that there was obvious interest. But when the numbers started coming in, I was… I mean I think everybody was fairly surprised to say the least. But there were a few other teams that were up there in terms of interest and the money. There were three or four teams that were up around that.

“It was exciting. And it was a whirlwind for sure. But I was definitely surprised.”

Tanner should be placed on waivers. He'd likely want to rent himself at the trade deadline though.

I'm just a guy on a message board. I'm not reporting anything. I read an article that suggested that was the case, and didn't re-research for a 30 second comment that was meant to be a joke in the first place. On hockeybuzz.

If you were trying to make a joke, you need to work on your sense of humour.

"Wrong Rasmus". Mistaken identity. Yeah, if would be a joke if Dahlin could be had for two of our top 9 forwards.

What do I know though. I'd hate to take you away from all the serious posting on hockeybuzz.

Oh, and Google Jeff finger contract, the second result is a article from hockeybuzz 12 years ago. https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=16043
