3 days before the season starts ... do you think we may see a few trades before the start of the season? If so, who is not done yet? I could maybe see Detroit making a trade because of cap problems.

I'm sure some teams are scared of losing players on waivers IE Toronto. I'd imagine there are some trades within the next 24 hours

So ... who are you thinking isn't done yet? Do you see the Leafs acquiring a defenseman?

I see the Leafs trading D + Maybe trading a G
There are 5 or 6 teams in the league who are in risk of losing somebody decent on waivers. There should be activity

I doubt we'll see any big moves before the season. I mean, maybe, but i wouldn't say that's likely. Usually at this point it's only minor moves that are made.

Yea that's what I mean, just depth players being traded for later picks. I don't expect to see anything big either

Idk if we're gonna see any actual NHLers moved though. Even depth guys like Connor Carrick for example, i'm not expecting to see moved before the season. It's a possibility but i'm not expecting it.

I believe we will see somebody that will, no way is Toronto going to risk losing him for nothing

It's a possibility. I think they might keep him on the roster.
