Can’t say we’re a farmhouse for Pittsburgh with this deal. Kahun is a solid piece and is RFA. Neither Rodrigues or Sheary had any future with this team, and Sheary was barely contributing on the ice. Kahun will in one role or another.

4th or 5th is nothing. Cap was retained 50% so the day isn’t necessarily over. Keeps guys in Rochester down. Whats not to like? Zero risk move

Good. He draws far too many conclusions from sketchy stats

BUF TOR FLA are all fighting for 3rd in Atlantic. 2nd Wildcard spot will probably finish 6 ptns ahead of that Atlantic spot. And Toronto is a tire fire. I didn’t want to trade Ristolainen to FLA, but CAR? It’s Risto or Trouba, and the Wild GM unfortunately seems more desperate for a shake up

That’s your opinion

I can totally understand FLA not wanting to trade with BUF as we’re in direct competition for a playoff spot. CAR isn’t. Sounds like it’s another Karlsson flip though where the GM who refuses to trade in his own conference gets fleeced because of it

We’re the only team selling a top 4 D. Hockey trades are to be made, depends on if a team will bite.

For cap space

Bwahaha hope Tampa doesn’t play him until the playoffs when they find out too late how stupid of a hockey player he really is

They’re closing gaps and attacking in the neutral zone. Everyone is forechecking hard except Eichel and Skinner who.. forecheck in their own way Only players Id sell are Sheary and Rodrigues. Otherwise hockey trade a defenseman for the best forward he can find.

What a goal. Earn those millions Okposo

They’re playing good hockey against a good team. Need 2 points though.

Think it just comes down to what kind of deals Larry and Girgs want. We don’t have many 4th line grinders in the minors they’re in the way of, so giving them term isn’t a problem. Just cap hit. I think whether they stay or not is on them and if they want more money to get into a different team atmosphere. Given they’ve rode out the tank and are seeing the change, do they want to? Botts is going to get blamed one way or another on these guys, but ultimately I think it’s all in their court.

Would Vesey accept 3yr 2 ea?

Leafs fans blaming Keefe, Marner, Tavares, etc. All that talent and no heart. We’re on an upwards trajectory with injury problems stumbling us and cap freedom on the horizon. Would you trade situations??

He’s been playing above replacement with a good physical forecheck. Do you think he will regress to early season when he didn’t know the system or his role? If Sheary didn’t bumble the puck Vesey has three assists yesterday

If we acquire a forward we can still get rid of Rodrigues and Sheary If he sells Larsson or Girgensons, that is the white flag

Need to trade Rodrigues.

He’s become a dependable forechecker over the course of the year. As long as he doesn’t ask for a ransom he’s a great 3LW to have around. It’s not like we have a rookie he’s in the way of

It’s only circumvention if we turn around and pay him millions for a desk job

Lazar is a great center for Skinner. Better than Rodrigues

It’s like none of you watched more than highlights. Not even sure Ottawa had the puck for more than 30 seconds in the first period

Dunno what you were watching, Ottawa outplayed Buffalo for a few minutes. The entire game Buffalo was cycling in the o zone otherwise hitting posts and missing open nets.

Our goalie caved not the team

Bogosian signing with the Leafs would be an epic playoff move. Do it Bogo
