drop some insider info

All seem far fetched for everyone not named Leafs.

McCabe is not getting a 1st, Bertuzzi is injury prone, Domi is not getting a 2nd this year for a 3rd two years away and Weeger will.cost more.

You think the Canucks are paying a 1st + for McCabe 😂

Also no fit since he shoots left.

The idea that McCabe isn't worth a 1st is ludicrous. What happened in 6 months to drop him from a 1st+2nd to not eve. Worth a 1st?

Soucy's preferred side is the right.

I'm not overly attached to Oleksiak or anything, but I don't know what makes you think Bertuzzi would be the second biggest offensive threat in Seattle or that he would get to lead his own line. The Kraken have thrived on their ability to roll four lines, and guys like McCann, Schwartz, and Bjorkstrand have been good play drivers (and produced more than Bertuzzi thus far) while guys like Beniers and Tolvanen are still looking for their groove. Bertuzzi wouldn't get the chance to dominate his own line here, there are just too many capable forwards in Seattle for that to happen.

Honestly, the inclusion of Kartye makes this more of a deal breaker for me than Oleksiak. Kartye has earned rave reviews from every level of the Kraken organization, they clearly view him as someone who can contribute for years to come, even if he's not the flashiest player. He has more value to the Kraken than he does to every other NHL team, so I doubt he gets moved in a trade like this.

Raj, these Trades all heavily favour TOR and No Team would accept

First off not true, Cole has played more right than Soucy over the last several season, but neither has played much. You said something wrong so confidently... But it doesn't matter Tocchet is strict righty lefty and that's all there is to it.

He wasn't worth a 1st the first time. Shanahan likely forced that trade on Dubas

He's not being traded to Toronto, who was willing to overpay. That's what happened.

Ok bud, let's just go against his word, cause you know better.

Fair enough on Kartye, he's an AHLer in my eyes, keep him.

Not sure what you are talking about, last I checked Bertuzzi is the only person Seattle would have who was PPG in the playoffs and one of three to get 30 goals.

Saying he wouldn't lead a line there is completely absurd. Ignoring his time in Toronto this year where he has bounced up and down the lineup, he's outperformed everyone but McCann/Eberle comfortably.

He'd be a massive upgrade.

Timmins is decent but wouldn't move anything for him given his injury history. I'd rather keep Hathaway, especially if they'd have to use a RS spot on him. Value is fine, just doesn't fit the Flyers outlook.

McCabe isn't waiving to Vancouver

Flames decline, it will be quite a few years before Weegar's deal starts to look bad

Brutal trade for Seattle

Sure, let's do that:
“I think it can be fluid here, but with every coach and even players, it’s a little easier to play the strong side,” noted Soucy. “And players know that. They can get comfortable on the off-side, but it’s always easier on the strong side.”

Also who cares what he says. Lots of wingers who get occassional looks at center might say they're better at center, and sure maybe they could be, it maybe you should look at how they've been deployed vs their own self evaluation.

McCabe has a 7 team no trade list. It would be very surprising if Vancouver was on it.

You =/ an NHL GM. And for good reason.

This site is so interesting. When the leafs make a trade its always an overpay so they MUST be worth way less when they get moved. When a team buys a player from the leafs (like Sandin) it's always an overpay so when a similar player Lili wants to be moved it MUST be for way less.

When a player gets traded with a similar contract to a leafs target (Karlsson) then it was way underpriced so when they try to get Weegar they MUST pay 2x the price.

Great logic here. EVERY NHL GM is stupid and wrong, their trades make no sense, the real arbiter of true value in trades is audiodave and his merry band of capfriendly friends.

Honestly I don't know why we even have NHL GMs you should just be responsible for trades since you are the only one who knows anything about hockey.

Our great KingofRnR returns to embarrass himself further. You ready to join Palhal on the banned list?

Great analysis. You must contribute more. I also think that allowing Kartye to stay with Seattle and to go down to the AHL makes more sense. Toronto should still do Bertuzzi for Oleksiak. That seems like a fair trade.

I think you are a bit off on the Bertuzzi potential he is a former 30g guy but this year has been bad. Bertuzzi for Oleksiak 1:1 seems fair.

Sure, Whatever that means. Am I supposed to know you!?

Teams overpay at the trade deadline, it's not just Toronto. In this case Toronto was willing to overpay for McCabe because another first round playoff exit was not acceptable. Vancouver is in a very different position than Toronto was last season.
This site is all about us hockey fans expressing our opinions. If you can't handle someone else having a different opinion than yours maybe you should find something else to do.

What do you think a fair return would be for Weegar.

He's a top 2D on a team likely about to blow it up signed at over $6M till he's 38.

Anyone who is buying him is getting 3/4 years of value then 4/5 years of a cap dump.

25 years old with 66 career NHL games who was drafted 32nd overall. Flyers have Bonk and whoever they draft with their first rounder this year in the pipeline, in addition to Grans and Andrea. He might have value to some other team, but I'd rather have another dart board throw on an 17-18 year old versus someone in DY+6.
