WPG was straight up rejected

VAN was in but apparently CGY dont want to trade him in the division

Just spitballing here but wow would Woodcroft's systems work really well for a team that already had a blueline and goaltending.


It’s also Woodcroft fault that Wallstedt is crushing a .940 in the AHL right now.

I also can’t believe Woody didn’t draft him smh - hell I bet Woody didn’t scout the kid.

Unreal this guy. He’ll get crocodile tears from me all day for what he did to EDM.

I think everyone in the world that wasn’t sitting at the EDM draft table was yelling at the top of their lungs to select Wallstedt.

Hell I wouldn’t have been mad if the Sharks took him over Eklund.

Show the findings first.
Not the names.
Let due process work.
Get it right.

Get the shopping carts ready

Hanafin if they get get a sign and trade in the range mentioned by Lebrun he can go for a haul

Lindholm even as a rental can get a nice return

Tanev and Zadorov is where things get interesting in terms of value

Im guessing for both it would look similar to ROR + Acciari or McCabe + Lafferty in terms of value.


Those are the guys I could see go now

Guys who I could see be out in summer

Mangiapane, Dube, Coleman, Weegar

I’d love to be in the flames front office right now.

Lindholm is super attractive in my opinion. As a hockey player. Maybe he’s cute too idk. Age is age, and tacking 5+ years onto 32 is way different than 7+ years onto 29. Nearly every option on the market is the first version where Lindholm is the lone alternative second option, has a clean injury history, reasonable salary expectations, is 2-way, etc.

Calgary gonna get paaaaid. I think.

Even as a rental Lindholm should set all markets imo. The second best offer all season for any player is the offer that lost out to the winner of this deal. Unless something wild happens with somebody younger and better, which I doubt.

Idk there are other factors and if we look at Conroy's first trade arguably he got torched

As Sharangovich + 3rd for Toffoli = yikes

Would not surprise me if some of the returns are underwhelming

I like the Boston and Minnesota jerseys quite a bit. They're only using city names for their inaugural season though, there will be little to no branding for the inaugural season

That’s on purpose, the teams don’t even have names yet, kinda hard to give them nice jerseys, the league has more important things to set up than jerseys right now, I’d expect logos and better jerseys for year 2

Somebody tell Craig to slide into my dms.

I’d get a kings ransom, ezpz. Maximum shenanigans - you do not hold back when firing the biggest gun. See: Joe Sakic

I do feel tofolli maybe is similar to Buchnevich: extremely limited suitors, not because of the player, but because of the cap and roster. Arguably Buchnevich is better than toffoli (I value 200 ft more highly than others) and his return was arguably worse in blais and a late 2nd.
