Who would've thought that Timo is elite when he's in the top 6 playing on his right wing...

Guentzel got traded for an underwhelming package...Better or worse for a Toffoli trade?

Pono is pretty good prospect….but I would imagine Dubas was trying to restock the cupboards which were bare.

Fitzy will go different type of package. And may get a 1st or quality piece.

Market is the market. You get the best offer possible and move on. Just glad we didn’t extend him

Would you rather have had to take Bunting’s contract…along with extra C prospect or two?

Jake Allen for a 2nd?!

Seems high…hopefully Vanecek going back…otherwise that is $7m+ committed to the two of them over next two years.

Why Allen? Not a legit starter?

I’m fine with it. Would have liked to see it earlier if we were to do it but this works.

Yeah, and 2nd rounder seems a bit high.

Fizty spent too much time messing around with those idiots in Calgary

3rd with conditions to upgrade. We’ll have to wait and see what conditions those are.

Conditions are games played I think.

I was wrong on Fitz, nothing this week makes me feel his got a good grasp of whats happenin. He dicked around with Conroy, Meanwhile Henrique got a better return. Allen is a panic move, could have been done anytime before the draft! Who is trading for him rn? Didnt expect power moves but smart ones for sure

I’m fine with it.

Henrique was a C. The market on wingers was diluted.

I was expecting a 2nd for Yegor. We got a free trial of toffoli and turned it back into a 2nd.

I’ve been saying a 3rd for Allen at 50% for a while.

Trust the process. He didn’t do anything that will destroy the window, which is most important

We've picked up a 2nd and a backup for next year.

I am so grateful that we didn't give up the moon for Markstrom

40 games NEXT season only. We paid a 3rd for a stopgap goalie. I've been saying this as a price for Allen retained this whole time

25 games ago would have been the time though! Probably when you suggested it!

Like the condition…if he is good enough to play 40, I think it will work out.

And only 3-team no trade list…so if we do need to acquire a new goalie, he shouldn’t be that hard to move out.

So what happens with Vitek?
