    So I'm naturally not saying that's the value of FredFoot but that Toronto abruptly unloads them to extents in eagerness to make space for the blockbuster

    If I was the Oilers I’d rather trade for Murray than Kulikov.

    The only way TO wants Ulmark is if Andersen is done for the year. In which case he will go on LTIR and his 5 million is off the books. It's more likely if they want Hall they'll move Kerfoot for him along with a 2nd or maybe a 1st.

    Sucked or not, Minny is not paying anyone to take Bonino. We have no huge needs to address at the DL, and have a couple of million in cap space if we suddenly get those.

    If they felt the need to unload Bonino, he would just go the other way in whatever trade brings in a better player. Simple cost of doing business move for whoever the other team is.

    I don't disagree with your theory but ownership does not seem to be using its own cash, so while smart I dont think it's an option for them

    I don't see the shrewdness Fitz had last yr, so I doubt this tdl is close to good

    Keep woodie
    And only if Kulikov trade is great don't bother

    Guerin isn't trading bonino. That's just not happening. He brought him in for lockeroom reasons
