VAN and NJD First for a First????

yes lottery protection

ok

I could see Vancouver trading for Leddy. They were interested in barrie (who’s better than Leddy) but 5.5 x 2 is a lot better than paying barrie 7 x 7

yeah thats what i thought as well

The condition says if Van doesn't make the playoffs it transfer to next year's #1. If they go to the rumored 24 team playoff Van makes the playoffs. What happens then??

The only chance Ottawa makes that trade is if Askarov is available. And they probably still pass...

Except Leddy plays this thing called defense. Regardless of the money, he just maybe the better fit for the team.

Myers and Rafferty just might muster enough offense collectively to make the thoughts of Barrie redundant.

I don't get the Ottawa deal. They take 2 not great contracts but have to give up duclair

It was supposed to be a trade where Ottawa moves up from 21 to 12 to nab Sanderson

They're so loaded with young guys and picks I can see them moving that pick for maybe a 2021 1st rounder or a player maybe a bit further in development.

Nah they’ll use all their ammo to get the best 4 guys they can get. With the 3 1sts and early 2nd. Probably will look to trade up with the Isles 1st and/or Sens 2nd
