If Beauvillier "is the definition of a playoff player", why would the Hawks give him to the Leafs for an undrafted AHL'er? I would think a playoff performer should net a 3rd or 4th at the TDL and the Hawks ability to retain to enhance the return makes this offer even more unrealistic.

As usual, the Rangers wouldn't even consider your trade proposals. Worry about the Pens, they need it.

Steeves is only 24 and he would be on the first team if they had a competent coach who plays young players. Every time he has played for the big team, he looks great. Like a young Hyman.

I feel it is a good trade for NYR though. They get rid of 3 bloated contracts, get a 1C in return and get significantly younger.

Lol trocheck is having a WAY better year than Domi, Trouba earns his money in other ways and goodrow is the only bad contract

The rangers have no need for Domi, Nylander and depth defenseman

Well I think Nylander is a big upgrade over Trocheck and it gives them a 1C for many years to come.

Not with their current team, but the team I built certainly has what it takes.

Then keep Steeves for yourselves and send a 3rd round pick. The Hawks have collected a number of sub 6' forwards in the last few drafts and they are likely looking for some different shapes/sizes as oposed to another 5'11 wing prospect that will be a UFA by the time the Hawks are ready to compete.

I agree w/ @wojohawk. His take is spot on. Hawks will want a pick in any trade for Beau. If the Hawks have any interest in Hyman 2.0 they can claim him on waivers next Sept at the end of training camp.

Nope. The Rangers trade is a steal for the Leafs. Leafs get rid of two dead weights in Nylander and Liljegren for three gritty playoff players

Domi is the only one I would miss out of the three but you have to give up to get

LOL. Maybe worry about the Pens bloated contracts, of which they have plenty. Rangers don't even consider this nonsense.

First off Pens fan....the Rangers have a 1C named MIKA for years to come. Secondly, Nylander isn't a center and Domi is no where near a 1C, so get a clue. Rangers wouldn't even take the phone call.

Leafs don’t consider that NYR trade. Nylander alone is worth more than that.

That Pens trade is pretty for the Leafs. Long term Rakell and Graves won't be worth their contract soon, if Rakell isn't wirth it now,.
Trocheck and Trouba aren't waiving for the Leafs
