You should be able to get a 2nd + 3rd from New York for that dump.

Bedard + Zegras + McTavish + Terry - Dear lord haha

It would take a few years before this team really takes off. But oh man, when they did, watch out!

As as hockey fan, I want to see this.

Same for me. If the Habs miss out I want to see him in Anaheim.

might be a hot take but imo if you win Bedard, I'd move Zegras within a few years for the biggest stud LHD I could get. You still have Bedard-McTavish down the middle which is bonkers plus Terry on the wing, then from there its a lot easier to fill out the wings than the D. I guess Zellweger yea but he doesn't strike me as the next #1D and im not sure Drysdale is that either - top pair for sure for Jamie but idk if he's your stud top option

You won't get a 2nd and 3rd to take Bailey in the offseason. He will be on his last year at 5M. The isles will either release him or just bury him for the last year of his contract. You could have gotten that at the begining of this year. But that ship has sailed.

If Rico is still an impact player through the end of the year and Haula won't stick around for cheap, sure, I do that. I'd prefer a deadline trade for Rico though.

I am a Leafs fan.

5m Retention on 1 year usually nets 2nd + 3rd. Something on those lines. Teams wanted a 1st to take him last off season.

A 3rd to dump one year of his contract is pretty standard.

Lou has a thing for the core group. He won't trade him and add. The more likely thing is he talked to Bailey about a buy out and he works in the organization

6'2" -- 195 pounds -- 17 goals and 45 assists in 67 games last season and 12 goals and 25 assists in 37 games so far this season for Saginaw in the OHL, and already under contract -- what don't you like about Pavel Mintyukov?

forgot about him not gonna lie, but like idk I'm talking the like elite top 5 or 10 echelon of defenders. Its what would take this team as presented to the absolute top level, and maybe Mintyukov is that I haven't done my homework on him but from first glance idk if he's that guy I'm talking about. Maybe im wrong and haven't read up enough on him.

IF the Devils were going to look for a 3C, and they thought they had their man in Henrique, I'd expect it more likely at the deadline than the draft.

Hoping he turns into something as a 10 OA pick. He's got the size, the drive, and the grit, and he was the first pick under the new regime.
