Thread: (MTL/WPG) - Monahan for 2024 1st (WPG), 2027 3rd (WPG)
both Wayne Gretzky and Eric Lindros 'technically' garnered 5 1st round picks in trades. the Gretzky trade involved 3 1sts directly.

Gretzky (along with Krushelnyski and McSorley) netted 3 1sts (89~ #18 Jason Miller, 91~ #20 Martin Rucinsky and 93~ #16 Nick Stajduhar) plus former first round picks Jimmy Carson (86, #2) and Martin Gelinas (88, #7) and $15M from LA in 1988.

Gretzky also returned a 1st to LA when he was traded to STL in 1996 (97~ #15 Matt Zultek)

the Eric Lindros haul from Philadelphia brought Quebec 2 1sts (93~ #10 Jocelyn Thibault and 94~ #10 Nolan Baumgartner) plus 3 former 1st rounders in Peter Forsberg (91, #6), Kerry Huffman (86, #6) and Mike Ricci (90, #4), plus Ron Hextall and Steve Duchesne and $15M in cash in 1992.

Thread: Team Canada Scandal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>This case is actually very similar to Duke Lacrosse, which ended with complete exoneration for the accused, humiliation for the overzealous left wing prosecutor, the fake news media, and the accuser. I'm gonna wait for the physical evidence and eyewitness testimony, if there is any, before condemning these young men. I'd suggest everyone do the same, but that's asking a lot these days.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capsfan2121</b></div><div>was just thinking about that yesterday.

if this is all false, the players rep will still be ruined</div></div>

Duke Lacrosse, the UVA Rolling Stone case, the Judge Kavanaugh case. There have been many that have turned out to be false. In real time, public judgement was decided, it was guilty. There was a study in Canada that showed the percentage of cases that turned out to be probably false has doubled since me too movement began (from 7% to 14%). Other studies have shown much higher figures for false claims.

None of us have not seen the evidence, heard from the accuser, or heard anything from the defense (other than 4-out-of-5 have publicly denied). No one is able to determine innocence from guilt yet…so all judgements should be reserved.

If guilty, justice will be served. If innocent, I hope the same is true.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Ilya Samsonov (1 Year / $3,550,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>Very surprised Treliving wasn’t able to find some common ground on a multi year deal, even in the 2-3 year range. You are now looking at 5+ mil next year on a long term (4-5) IF he is able to replicate this past season. He could potentially become a Top 10 goalie who could've been had on a modest deal and for a team that has tried 5 goalies (Andersen, Campbell, Mrazek, Murray, and Samsonov) in varying degrees to be the #1 TOR will most likely be turning to a 6th during Auston Matthews 8 year career.

It’s a shame this got to arbitration although I’m sure some are happy with this for some reason.</div></div>

The one bright side is they can see how he plays this season and if he performs well again they can give him a multi year deal. Everyone was saying to give Campbell a multi year deal and look how that went for the oilers. Not saying they’re the same but at least they’re not overpaying
