Now if VGK go get Guentzel uh oh

Barbashev-Eichel-Marchessault
Guentzel-Stephenson-Stone
Amadio-Karlsson-Mantha
Howden-Roy-Kolesar

Jesse Pool Party lights the lamp!

I’d take Howden back just to free up space for them to resign Jake.

Malkin scored once for us and once for them, so I guess that evens him out.

Funny how if u read people's comments with the Mantha trade they think VGK is done and wont get Guentzel

Do they not realize they got 4.4m in cap space. Pitts gonna ret so 3m lul

Believe Lebrun said they're out on Guentzel, however they're pushing for Tarasenko

Be a pretty dumb move as they have 0 need for RW anymore

Once Stone comes back

Marchessault, Stone, Mantha, Kolesar be the RW

LW rn is

Barbashev, Dorofeyev, Cotter, Amadio, Howden, Carrier

They need a LW to be on the 2nd or top pair and thats Guentzel. Also can easily extend if they let Marchessault walk

Reports already said Brad is not interested in giving a 1st for a rental so I dont know what this is all about lul.

Only time he offered it was the Zadorov + Tanev deal back in NOV.

If he wanted Henrique would have been part of the Boosh trade there was time

I'm sure acquisition price is a factor. And Idk if they want to pay Guentzel the money he likely wants even if they can afford it. They might justify the cost, if they felt extending him would be a good move.

After looking at how much VGK has spent over the years and considering what they want I doubt they care on price

Ownership and management aint afraid to go for it and he would probs extend anywyas

I have a feeling hes off to EDM

And the guy I think's coming is the gamble of a century and a hint hes got a chunk of term and plays in the west

What Brad says and what Brad does are going to be two different things. Toronto doesn't have any 2nds so in order to get someone quality they'll need to leverage the first, unless you're fine with seeing Robertson/Cowan/Minten/Niemela moved.

Lets be honest if Brad was gonna give a 1st for a rental Chris Tanev would be a Leaf rn

He didnt bite the bullet though and instead went for another defensive Dman who was cheaper.

If the guy everyone expected to be a Leaf and who everyone thought Brad would give that 1st for didnt happen I dont see him going alright Henrique lul.

Should that 1st be spent its gonna be for someone with term or a package of 2 players. That seems to be the goal rn.

Could it be Seeler + Walker, Parayko, Chycrun, etc who knows but if we look at his history Brad often spends 1st for guys with term with one exception being there

All I’ve learned from this site over the last couple of weeks is that apparently being the best winger to play with Crosby over his entire career is somehow a detriment.

Plenty of teams have shown interest in Zucker - Boston, Vancouver, Nashville, Carolina, Florida, New Jersey and Vegas (although the Mantha trade may have changed that).

Of all teams 3 that make most sense

NSH, FLA, VAN

Now the return wont be as high as Mantha due to Mantha having a better season but should be at highest a 2nd if ret and stuff be involved

Forgive me for being ignorant and living under a rock for the last few months but..... Tampa front runners on Hanifin..... How? Whats his sticker price? And what kinda game does he play?

Hes forcing his way there I guess

But yea if u saw what Brisbois paid for Jeannot yea TBL be in for a coaster

As if a draft class of picks went for a struggling RFA then yea Hanifin whose having himself a season is top that

I know Sergechev is hurt but unless they be planning to move on from one of the other D on an expensive deal I dont see how it works come 2024-2025

I know right. They have an empty cupboard and zero cap space. And no forward depth.

JBB does have some good trades under his belt, however he does love to overpay at the deadline.

Or just driving up the price that Panthers have to pay to get him

Yep, like to me losing Howard to get him for 2 months will make 0 sense as thats for sure a guy CGY gonna want

I dont see FLA parting with Lundell though

Thats the guy CGY is gonna want

I’m getting ready to be mad tomorrow.

The St. Louis Blues - the official favorite team of masochists everywhere!

I have no idea how anyone imagines they have the trade capital for that.
