Something like Brink/Foerster, Bonk, a 2024 first and 2025 first might interest Anaheim. That offer, with three picks (including our own) between #23 and #36, doesn't do it.

Unlikely Winnipeg considers moving a 1st for a depth defenseman.

Anaheim passes, That offer for Zegras is beatable.

Michkov won't even be available until 2026/2027. Russia won't even let their players leave until they're at least 23 years old.

Can't see the Leafs being interested in Risto and 3.6m. They sign a UFA and keep the picks.

I do like how people keep pretending that no one knows Risto is the Flyers least used and trusted defender not named Marc Staal and that he's some how worth a 1st +

That Leafs trade is beyond hopeful, no chance Tre would make a move that dumb 🤦🏻. Just sign a better defender in FA

I'm a flyers fan........and I know. That albatross of a contract was like Fletcher's parting gift to us.

yeah, there are a few people out there but most everyone round here thought he was a good trade bet for good assets while putting up worst in the league numbers, now that he's being used properly (IE incredibly sheltered) and he's putting up decent bottom pairing numbers it's just gotten worse.

That's news to the Russians playing in the NHL and AHL under that age

In fairness, did you see what they paid FOR him?

no, everyone knows it

it's just that briere won't retain 1.5+ for 3 years without getting a first back

No, they dont they think he's good. And when you retain on a player because you have to to make him palatable you dont get paid to do it

Sunk coat fallacy is a hell of a drug
