Minnesota Wins by being there

Wait they did something?

Time to say it again

What are the Wild doing, burning more money for draft capital when your window is now and the flames are right there…..

As for Boston and Washington, I like this for both sides. And I do see Hathaway re-sign with Boston. He seems like he’d fit the scheme perfectly. While Washington finally is getting a kick to a well needed rebuild

Thank god this team is selling. Going to be super weird having multiple first round picks.

I don't know what the pairings will be (Bruins fans can help me out) but man does Orlov-Carlo have some serious potential as a shutdown pairing.

Yeah that's fair, but if they rebuild (which they probably won't), they have many good assets to sell. I'm sure once Bergeron/Marchand retire, Boston will sign stars in FA to try and keep the momentum going. Their defensive core is still Playoff worthy, they just need to find replacements for their top forwards.

Well that’s nice of a deal, so no Gavrikov I guess.

A high 2nd has nearly a 30% chance to be an impact player in his career, a low 2nd around 15%. No big deal.

Good on the Capitals for realizing they weren't good enough and getting some assets back for free agents.

Orlov is really good. Fair Trade but WSH wins because BOS is so screwed after bergy retires

Lol, no bias there eh.

Patiently awaiting for TB to grab Kane.

”fleecing” lmfao 😂

Washington are going to be a very interesting team this summer. Doubt they are any interest in not trying to go for the playoffs again next year.

Good trade for BOS

Bruins sent out an underwater 3.1 million contract unretained and Orlov would play on the first pair in Toronto. Bruins got the more useful players and paid less, as their picks will be worse and gave up a 5th not a 4th for retention.

I find it funny that Minnesota is in the trade, but you can't vote for them

Bruins got the more useful players lol. I guarentee if Toronto had Orlov and Boston ROR you'd be saying it the other way around.

no one is scared of boston lmfao

Steep price to pay for Boston but it’s their last shot and they are going all in. Boston is a menace even more now

WSH wins tbh

Exactly another one that overvalues late picks. This draft has about 22 impact players according to the pundits. The Bruins wont be picking that low even if they get bounced 1st round as President trophy winners.

A late 1st is a late pick and chances are low the player develops into a regular, effective nhl'r

why didn't Minnesota get anything from Washington? Washington just got younger.... Minnesota loses.

There are leafs ACGMs out there offering a 3rd, 4th and 5th for Hathaway and Orlov as soon as they were scratched. Not surprising they think its an overpay.

The loser of this trade was Craig Smith

Holland and the oilers have nothing to do with this trade and likely would gone into a bidding war and paid much if they showed interest. Lots of of options still out there. Keep your head up. You’re doomed for disappointed if you consider every trade another team makes a failure for the oilers.

I mean the Bruins just found their partner for McAvoy in the playoffs when they can't consistently play 5'9 Gryz and ROR just moves Tavares to LW... Not sure how you can say that ROR is the more useful player in terms of team situation and building. The Top 6 wasn't an issue for Toronto, ROR may be the bigger name, but even Orlov would be more impactful on the Leafs when they're still rolling Holl, Timmons and some combo of Sandin/Liljegren with a combined 7 games playoff experience.
