Vancouver doesn't consider that. Petterson is easily matched which is Okay because Buffalo should just keep the picks, Devils also decline.

I'm genuinely worried that somebody looked at this and decided these were fair trades...

Dumping Skinner will cost more than two 2nds, that offer isn't getting Hughes as a bonus. Also, that's an easy no from the Wild as they're not getting anything in that trade

Seems very lopsided to Buffalo's favor on all fronts.

Will Eichel ever play again? If so, how long ... guy has a spine injury, playing a contact sport.

That Okposo contract will be very difficult to move.

Why would any team willingly take on Okposo?

Please don't waste our time

The Quinn Hughes trade isn't remotely coherent

This AGM really needs to be re-done

Spine??

He has a herniated disc in his neck

I've never seen any mention of his spine whatsoever

The neck is part of the spine. If you prefer, we can be more specific and refer to it as his cervical spine ... ? It is all connected & part of the spinal canal.

If we were guaranteed the old JE, I agree with you 100%, but I'd be concerned long term. A herniated disc can reoccur (I'd suggest may even be likely to reoccur in an athlete playing a contact sport). With that contract, I'd be very wary. I fear he may struggle to play many more full seasons of hockey. Doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

Hope I'm wrong.

Yup I agree. The injury risk is too much. I forgot about his injury until you mentioned it.

In that case the leafs would decline the trade
