I'm betting Dubie signs former Soo Greyhounds legend Nick Cousins. He'll likely only cost 2 years/1.5 mil AAV. I could also see Dubie signing backup G Comrie for 2 years/1.5 mil AAV. I'll also predict he'll sign new UFA Colin White. Not sure what he gets.

Nice idea, that could essentially be like the Leafs getting a first+Murray for a late 2nd since the draft is supposed to be deep. Perhaps the Leafs give up a 4th as well so that OTT doesn't have to eat up all the cap by themselves.

I don't think this is how the trade would go down but it's at least realistic and makes sense for both sides.

I don't think he would pay Cousins that much but I'm sure he would go after Comrie (is he also a SOO legend?) and invite Kallgren and Woll to camp. White is on a ton of teams radars and Leafs are surely one of them, I think Dubas would offer a 1 year 900k-1m. If he misses on them all then maybe Cousins does get 1.5m or even 2m lol.

He probably signs at least one (but perhaps two) of: Strome, Domi, Marchment, Kubalik, (would depend on if Engvall who got qualified and Kase stay). I expect the rest of the spots to be filled with AHL guys looking to make the jump.

You’re clearly lost on the idea of a real NHL trade

Always good to hear from the newbies! They're especially entertaining when lecturing the old hands!!

Hahaha old and not smart?? Sweaty and not good looking J believe it
