Leafs aren’t trading Andersen. You can scratch that one off the list.

and why are avs trading their starting goalie to a division rival....give your head a shake

non of the above. Rock subban/Delia/lankinen and get a top 5 pick

Even after all the months of Leafs's fan sending Anderson for Murphy or Boqvist or a 2nd or a 1st

BTW, today is the last day for buyouts, and a player must be on waivers for 24 hours to be bought out....we've heard neither for Zach Smith....so I don't believe he's getting bought out....

Zach Smith can't be bought out as he is still on LITR and the CBA prohibits a buyout for players on LITR. The deadline passed at 11am for buyouts. Zach Smith likely remained on LITR through the buyout period to protect himself from a buyout.

Some of those trades were ridiculous. I remember the boqvist one. God that was bad.

Holtby 4 x $6m Markstrom 6 x $6m Andersen isn't getting traded Khudobin hitting that market so doubt Bishop gets moved. Colorado isn't trading Grubs doubt any of those are realistic targets for the Hawks.

But, but, but..all your experts said he was gonna get bought out, even though the Hawks never use buyouts...hmmm....

The rumors are that Sakic wants to sign Crawford....

I don't know what you don't understand but LITR players can be bought out. It is speculated that Smith used that to his advantage knowing he would likely be bought out.

That’s not the rumour at all, mention of his thinks avs checked in on Crawford, and if they did bring him in it’s as a back up behind grubauer, they aren’t moving their starter for a 35 year old Ufa.

I'm not suggesting they need to trade Grub away, but do some research on Crow and just how terrible CHI's D was last year and you'd know there's no competition between the two. Crows a better goalie by a long shot. Last year he was the best goalie in the ENTIRE NHL in high danger situations. He'd start in COL no debate.

If he was still a starter then hawks would be keeping him,
Learn about the avs before you start popping off

LOL!!!!

Then explain why you’re letting both your goalies walk. Guess you are tanking then and want to downgrade in net so bad

I was shocked by this news. I VERY MUCH wanted to sign Crow to a deal. He is a really good goalie AND he was better than Lehner last year. There could be a ton of reasons; from Crow being quite vocal about not even wanting to Tandem...to cap space...to injury history...to trying to improve in other areas. The defense was the worst in the NHL. Maybe they want the cap space to go there? Too many reasons to speculate on. WHOMEVER picks up Crow will be a better team for it.

Crow can still play im not denying that but look at it this way, why would avs punt grubi as their Starter who was very good for them last year. Especially for an older goalie who can easily fall off a cliff at his age

If they did anything they would try to upgrade Frankie. Not their starter

BTW, players don't determine if they stay on LTIR... and off-season LTIR require doctors sign off that a player will still be injured the beginning of the season..... whomever your sources are, please start questioning them, as Smith couldn't use LTIR to his advantage in any way....

And I suppose all the doctors are Honest Abe. The source is The Athletic which is the most respected source for hockey.

Again, the player doesn't bring the doctor... the team has to..... the players have 0 to do with themselves being on ltir, specifically off- season. You really need to take what you read with a grain of salt, including the athletic. The very preposition that a player can make himself stay on ltir so as not to get bought out is ludicrous....
