Thread: Tampa trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Let's see . . . 20-man roster and that's after finding homes for Dermott and Holl. That seems unrealistic to me. Plus, as <a href="/users/Lyle_Bubas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Lyle_Bubas</a> so accurately points out, Cernak and Coleman are probably the LAST two guys Tampa would trade.</div></div>

Not that I disagree with you or the point you're trying to make, Coleman for sure but Cernak? IMO, it's all depending on how they value their 3 RFAs and IMO, he's 3rd although I don't see Tarana as the destination as much as I'd love to see him wearing a maple leaf next season. I don't see them trading as valuable a player as he is to a division rival, and I don't see the leafs making the necessary moves to bring him in this late in the off-season, i.e. trading kerfoot n holl to make it happen. IMO, both sides say thanks but no thanks. That being said, I've seen worse value.

Thread: Kahun and Grandlund
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>Dont like the Canadian division ides but like AHL affiliate travelling with NHL club if AHL season is only viable this way.

Hamonic is more likely to sit out entirely instead of taking 2 million.

Holl is solid defensively and is underrated.</div></div>

Same here but according to Chris Johnston it's what we might be looking at.

Why would he sit? It won't help his case to get a better contract next year. The fact that he's still available indicates that he feels he's worth more than what teams have offered him but at this point, it seems like he's going to have to settle for less. Maybe a team like NJ offers him more but at this point, it seems less likely that will happen or it would have by now.

As for Holl, I respectfully disagree but that's just my opinion.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trickster</b></div><div>Now with Mikheyev signed, there is very little left that can be done.

I think Leafs are done making moves but still Dermott signed and Joey Anderson.


Do you think NHL will allow teams to have taxi squads that will allow them past the cap as long as team is cap compliant with a 20 man roster???</div></div>

I get it's likely not to happen, but I'd personally rather have Hamonic over Holl because I trust him more than Holl away from Muzzin and he has more experience than Holl which I think would come in handy in the playoffs IMO. At this point in the offseason maybe he'd sign a 1 year $2million deal to play for a contender and try again next offseason?

CJ mentioned on SDP that the league is considering having AHL teams travel with their NHL team to allow them to play this year and for "transactions". The example he used was if the leafs were playing the Canucks in Vancouver the Marlies would travel with them to take on the commits who would play in Vancouver this year, one would be a day game and the other at night. He also said it's likely that the NHL implements an all Canadian division due to the travel restraints the Canadian government has put in place.

What do you think about an all Canadian division and AHL teams travelling with their NHL teams?
