Not sure why Chicago would do any of that especially the TO trade.

Montreal is rebuilding too, they aren't going to pay to move Armia (especially since he hasn't been bad this season).

The only way this roster is playoff bound is if the NHL creates a Relegation Playoff.

Armia isn't a cap dump, his value is around a 3rd or 4th Habs aren't adding a 4th just to get a 6th. If you want us to add a 5th you better be sending a 2nd back

Chicago declines all of this.

Stick with the leafs. Thus is bad for Chicago.

Not enough for the Campbell dump, let alone getting Raddysh in return, too, and Kulak is not a positive asset to CHI.

It costs more than that to move both Armia and Reaves contracts.

I doubt CHI brings Blackwell back. I think they'd be open to it, but Blackwell probably wants to go somewhere he can win, and contenders recognize that he would make a great affordable bottom 6 option.

I’m no Armia fan, but I think we can get a little something in return for him. Not much. Just a little something. I think someone is going to bite on him because of the really good playoff he had with Staal & Perry and will hope to catch some lightning in a bottle.

I think he gets us a 3rd or a 4th without retaining salary. If we retain, it likely gets us a little more.

Signing Eberle is a good idea but I suspect we'd need to overpay him for those 2 years which are non-playoff years. 2 year/$12M would likely be what is offered. Likely more than he'd get on open market from a more cash strapped, playoff bound team.

$12M total, like $6M year? Because $12M per year would be a ridiculous ask for a 34 year old who plays at a little more than a .5 ppg pace. I could see maybe $7 or $7.5M

Yeah. 2 years, $12M total. 6 per year.

Oh. Ok. Yeah. AFP predicts his next contract at like $6.5M x 3 years, I believe. So that is reasonable.

Oh man I didn’t think he’d be getting a raise like that.

We'll see. But, he's 34 and still playing relatively well. Though, I could see him taking a discount to win a cup somewhere.

Raddysh is hot garbage. Edmonton will buyout Campbell and keep their assets, thanks.

Come on now. Thats a poor take. He’s at most room temperature garbage.
