We'll do this trade if the Leafs take Joseph.

And Toews would rather retire because of his illness.

Ottawa can't afford Jarnkrok.

You know it’s 2023 not 2016 right?

I don't know why there's so much interest in Pool Party from CFACGMs. His NHL days are over in my opinion.

idk about that, at worst he's a solid defensive 4th liner we could throw on the Kampf line to just be a black hole

33 points in 51 games, two way game, he's not who he was but 3C? I don't see why you wouldn't want to give that a try

He's basically having his body replaced with surgeries this summer. Was a nothing burger on a very good Canes team surrounded by a bunch of fellow Finn's.

didn't know about the double hip surgery, fair. That changes a lot for me.

That's tough for any player to come back from. Not impossible mind you.

yea, but hard when you were a 4th, maybe 3rd liner in the first place.

Exactly.

I wish we could but we can't

I would have been totally fine if Dorion didn't sign Tarasenko but traded for Järnkrok instead and signed Tatar or even Pius Suter. Or heck, even Zach Aston-Reese


Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Greig - Norris - Batherson
Kubalik - Pinto - Jarnkrok
ZAR - Kastelic - Joseph
MacEwen


Now that's a solid 2-way forward group, but as usual Dorion goes after "name recognition" (Brassard, Duchene, DeBrincat, Tarasenko) over team needs. He doesn't get these things
