He's the one that said Something about Montreal and Okposo right?

First Dano, and now Teravainen. Blackhawks keep trading away their young talent. Hope their prospects are ready.
EDIT: JVR for a 1st and a former #5 overall pick (MDC)? Seems like a bad trade for the Islanders.

There is little to no risk on the Carolina side that I see. Anyone would give up a second and third for a 21 year old NHL middle-six caliber forward with top-six upside who's still a few years away from being a RFA.
If you have ample cap space you aren't using paying Bickell 4mill actual cash for one season is nothing to worry about, most teams have one or two overpaid forwards making 4-5mill per already. The Bickell contract is only a problem if you have serious cap issues right now.
Leafs have bad luck with notable Good Toronto Kids, so I don't take "hometown kid" with as much reverence.
Well, I'd say his value is probably in the 1st 5-10 range straight
I'd be happy with MDC then flipping the 19th to move into the 10-16 range to nab a defenseman
Sets us back competitively next year but should help us be set up moving forward
Creeper, is that you?
I'm dying, this is beyond Creeper levels now.

He's a 30/30 LW, a difficult position to find players for on a ridiculous contract.
It's the combination of things that make him valued at that.
If he had an appropriate contract in 6+ range then he wouldn't be as valuable.
Not saying any team at 5-10 would pay that price, saying the cumulative value is that price.
Hey man,
Charlie Conacher and Red Kelly were both Good Toronto Kids that played for the leafs like a hundred years ago.

What I'm reading here is Bolland for JVR!
Creeper, is that you? If nobody would pay that price for him then that's not his value. His value is what people would pay for him. That's how economics works.
I remember when Kris Draper brought the Cup to Toronto at the Madison. Of course that was a bit different since Draper was FROM Toronto...

I guess I shouldn't protect Barrie since Roykic will TRADE HIM AWAY FOR NOTHING.
this is fantastic
shit, only 3 D-men
uuh
Henrik
Daniel
Hansen
Baertschi
Horvat
Etem/Gaunce/Sutter?
Edler
(Hamhuis if he doesnt get traded)
Tanev
Gudbranson(?)
Markstrom
Goodbye Burrows, Miller, Sbisa
This is super neat
Called the Bickell deal being bad the second I heard about it.
Bickell is gone which is great but losing Teuvo kinda sucks. Wasn't happy with him for a lot of this season but the potential is still there. He's still way too weak and timid to really
reach his full potential but he's only 21 so there's plenty of time. If he can put on enough muscle to keep from getting knocked off the puck all the time and play with a tiny bit more grit, he's going to take off. He's smart as fuck though and once his body catches up, look out.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolI wanted Teuvo for Eller
Chicago was probably going to lose him in the next year or two anyway. May as well get completely rid of Bickell's cap hit and getting some flexibility now instead of buying Bickell out and losing Teuvo because we can't afford to sign him or anyone else.
He's not wrong. Teuvo didn't have that great of a season. He was thrown around the lineup all year which is part of it but he played more and more timid as the year went on.
so you're saying MDC + 19th isn't worth a pick in the 10 range?
cool.
thanks for playing smelly
this is useless because it's if the expansion draft happened today... not next year

correct (and you said 5-10)
and even if it was, that still has no relevance to JVR because JVR isn't a top10 pick, last time I checked he's a roster player.
now you're just chasing your tail
you make about as much sense as cake boss would after downing a 24 of beer and a handful of viconan

Man what a snag for the CAnes
I feel barrie would be a back up to how Demers plays out
At 1m or less, fine.
Fuck. No. I dont want Shaw at any more than hes making now. 2m or less. Preferrably less.

Who's next? Hossa?
Defense (3/3)
* Dustin Byfuglien D $7,600,000 NMC

* Tyler Myers D $5,500,000 NMC
Mark Stuart D $2,625,000
Jacob Trouba D $894,166
Oh shit, can only protect 3 D and Buff, Toby and Myers have NMCs.... we really are going to have to trade Trouba this year or next. :-0

We cannot protect Barrie or Zadorov due to Beauchemin... :lol
He should retire or we should off load him on someone.

Forwards:
Sedin
Sedin
Baertschi
Horvat
Sutter
Two more: leave one spot for the UFA winger we might sign, and one for our most impressive young forward. There's also a chance Baertschi takes a step back in which case he could be exposed. I omitted Hansen since he might be traded.
Defence:
Edler
Tanev
Gudbranson
Pretty much a no-brainer here. I notice Tryamkin isn't on their list.
Goalie:
Markstrom

Speaking of Canes. Where does Eric Staal go? Where will he end up?
Montreal as a 1C obv
Just trade Myers instead.
