What a blockbuster. Truly the final big piece we needed for a big playoff run.

Toronto gets a young AHL producer for free. Hard to say no to that.

why am I able to quote this

Because.

It's technically a post.

Toronto gets an AHL player for free. Baptiste has NHL experience, and could serve as a potential call up in case of an injury.

Would have rather seen DSP claimed off waivers.

What if Future Considerations has a breakout season???

Too much risk.


------------------------------


OK lets break down the pros and cons:


PRO: We have the best RH Winger depth in the NHL:

Marner
Nylander
Kapanen
Hyman
Brown
Baptist
Bracco
Gagne

CON: Dubas doesn't care about RH Defense depth:

Zaitsev
Oziganov
Holl
Liljegren
Subban
Loverde
Olesky

PRO: I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.

while other contenders are building big ( SJS, CBJ, WSH, BOS ), we let Montour slip under the radar and get AHL depth........way to go Dubarelli

Nashville received Emerson Clark as "future considerations"
