He got Cat for a tuna sandwich.

My favorite would be when every draft pick was used, Ammo, Edvinsson, Raymond, Danielson, Kasper, etc all shipped out, zero cap space to re-sign Seider and Ras lol

they'd have 9 1sts in the next three years, three promising young forwards (four if you count Krebs), 7 ELCS, and three contracts that extend beyond three years. In terms of how this team looks, it'll be fine. Now, these returns themselves are extremely optimistic, but if for some reason they managed to even get half of this, they'd be golden in 3-4 years.

He's been around here for so long im not sure he's baiting anymore.

Sadly I think you’re right.

I want to unblock him because it'd be fun seeing the egregiousity but I know I'll just end up disappointed considering people (of other teams) think the red wings offer is reasonable.

Leafs don’t want to give up Niemela, Lilly and Brodie for marginal upgrade TBH

Uh, what is going on here

Sheer lunacy

Cooley is the 2nd best player in the world yet to play an nhl game besides bedard

bro is literally saying this when Brady Cleveland exists?

Very realistic that Calgary will retain $42,000,000 in salary. Good job.

What level of harshness can we be?? Because on a scale of 1 to 10, this ACGM post warrants a 25!!!

Listen if you take that first out of the leafs trade they actually consider it

Ignoring the cap, I'd do that deal if I was Sweeney

That is an easy big fat no from buffalo. Wow.

While I do not love some of his signings, he is bidding time to get some of his young talent time to mature. Ot on of his signings has hurt the team cap wise so he is slowly and methodically building a team to last for more than one years cup.run.

And there is zero chance he trades Raymond and a 1st for Mangipane. Let alone Raymond straight up.

Realistically, I don't see the Bruins dropping anymore draft capital. They will likely just pick up a cheap rental at the deadline, and hopefully sign their 1C in free agency next season (projected over 20M in cap).

Wow!!! I just wanted to feel what it was like to be Opera Winfrey for a day, “ you get a star, you get a star, hey you in the back, you get a star. Even that loud mouth Sabres fan in the back, ya you, you get a star!!!

...perhaps you missed the "as a sabres fan" part. I draw your attention to buffalo tanking for jack eichel and how they still managed to consistantly suck. Its a regular conversation how many x-sabres are having success. Also i draw attention to the oilers. Without McDavid (which generational talents in your draft are not a guarantee) they probably would still be competing with arizona. Good young talent and picks don't = wins. Theres still a lot of peices you need on a good team and in theory you'll have em with your picks but you'll be in a world where your constantly paying guys to stay one more year and choosing between signing a guy you've seen have moderate success or putting in a rookie with higher potential.
Then theres as you said. Those picks and trades arent realistic so thats not the team you'll get.
Now concider this is the problem you didntbget the return you hoped for or is this a bad plan for success because it might not even work if this ridiculous goes through. With all these assets moving around this team adds 0 proven nhl talent and is going to worry about leadership and development next year...cuz all you need is talent even though only 1 guy can shoot the puck at a time.
I also take the mental side of young talent facing adversity for the first time and having no one on the team to help them adapt. Leavingnthe coaching staff to handle that is a good way to end up ruining good talent.
End of the day, i wouldnt trust the gm that made this team to develope it as they haven't shown me there ability lead to success only to get stuff thst could.

Mfer they've got 9 god damn 1sts
