Thread: (OTT / NYR) - Brassard for Zibanejad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PrincessChloe</b></div><div>If there's a silver lining, they sold very high on Brass later.</div></div>

Even that they messed up, best part was the 2018 1st round pick, which ended up being K'Andre Miller, but not with them using it, they traded it (22nd overall) to the Rangers for the 26th (Jacob Bernard-Docker) and 48th (Jonathan Tychonick) overall, neither even closely comparable to Miller

Ian Cole they traded days later for a nobody and pick they never used

Filip Gustavsson they used 2 years as a 3rd string and traded for Cam Talbot who was horrible there

And the 2019 3rd round pick, they used with another pick to trade up to the 2nd round to get Mads Søgaard, which is probably the best move, and he has only played 27 games with the Sens 10-10-3, and is mediocre playing for Belleville

So they are the reason the Rangers have Zibanejad and Miller

Thread: Summer overhaul

Totally get that however I don't think Lou would see it that way. If I were in your shoes, I'd be mad at him for leaving too but also acknowledge it was a blessing in disguise. His contract was a curse for the Leafs but if he came back at 4 AAV, I'd be alright with it.

The Islanders don't have much cap space and they struggled scoring on the PP and scoring goals in general. If the Islanders added 25-30 goals, they'd be in the top 10 in goals for with one trade. They could use him as a LW or a C and both would work.

If that only costs you a 1.5 AAV increase in cap space and a 4th line C pending UFA, they would strongly consider it because it's a good hockey move and a lot of teams would take him at that cost.

Thread: Pajama boy returns with retention
Even if all parties were fine with this trade, I don't see CHI being okay with retaining 2M on Jones for 6 years. Edit: I just realized that you are saying that Tavares goes back. Why are they giving up a 1st? If you're saying Marner is Jones + a 1st, the 1st should get cancelled out since they are essentially paying to rent Tavares to play in Toronto. The trade would be blocked by the NHL for cap circumvention.


CHI is trying to be horrible for the next 2-years presumably (until they win the Lottery again), adding Marner would be counterintuitive (if they can do Jones 9M for Marner &lt;11Mx7 extension then maybe). They aren't looking to be competitive until 2027-2028 season probably (5-year plan announced in 2022), so Marner is likely not interested in that.
