So JB knowing that Boeser is likely out for the season, you would rather him not trade for Toffoli???
He made the trade to get help for the team to make the playoffs. Unless you think Schaller could have stepped up and replace Boeser's production.
Gathered enough picks to start the rebuild around their future core players (Brady Tkachuk and Chabot). Now they just need to steal Judd Brackett from the Canucks.
Best case scenario is that Demko plays lights out and we go into the playoffs with one of the best goaltending tandem. Then in the offseason, JB can decide whom to keep and trade the other for a king's ransom.
TO just needs to beat out FLA to take 3rd spot in Atlantic division. Doesn't look like FLA gearing up for the run. So maybe TO content to do nothing. If they miss out of that 3rd spot, no way can they beat out NYI and CAR for the wildcard spot.
Either Buffulo is trying to make a run for the playoffs (currently 8 pts out) or they plan to flip him in a package elsewhere.
Perhaps Simmonds + Risto to ??
