Im seeing that the NHL has canceled “pride night”?

I believe Dallas traded a 1st and 2nd to NYR for Lundkvist who’s also a RHD.

Delia dealing..

Chychrun is still available correct? F it. Trade an asset. Hell, trade 2. AZ just beat TOR.

You nailed that! And now for the fallout here……

Well, they just drafted D Elias Pettersson, so we good.

That really was an awesome underhanded diss of the leafs and probably will happen.

Yeah, Hughes was pathetic at the end both on the PP and in OT. And the refs were the usual tilted zebras.

How far are they from contending? They are 5 points out of third place tonight, even with the change in HC and MGMT. 2 upper tier D men? Can they instead of being sellers be buyers at the deadline and NOT trade Miller? How bout just one D Man?

That slide across and the pad save was epic by Demko. Also, F the Leafs. And their fans.

Anyone know anything on the Zacha situation?

I know this might sound like I’m pushing it, but if they do trade Miller or Boeser, I want VAN to get a starting defensemen out of it. Not a prospect, but a current starter. Maximize return on the trade. I’d really like to see Chychrun come back to VAN in some kind of 3 way deal, if he’s on the block. Young, with a lot of potential. I hate watching teams trade All Star level players and they get a couple prospects who never really amount to squat. This is a new FO, but I’m hopeful they swing for the fences and we all are wowed by the returns instead of trying to make excuses and sound hopeful. And that’s if they even do make a trade.

3 prospects is just not enough. Add a 1st and 3rd

I just honestly don’t think he was ever that much of a sleeper. Seems every NHL team had him on their radar.

I really like the fact he’s big with high end skill and has a really good net presence. VAN needs more muscle in front of the net.

I wonder if TOR was looking at Koskenvuo. They took a G finally a round later and there was a little run on goalies from VAN’s pick to Toronto’s at 153. Looks like teams knew TOR was looking for a G there. I like it.

He looks pissed, so that’s a start.....

I love it. He’s really talented.

I wouldn’t mind sneaking in here and grabbing Raty

Agreed. I’m just not seeing this as a loss. 9 wasn’t netting them anything in this draft specifically that would offset the need to fix the cap and get more top tier D help. Add Garland, and I’m even less concerned. I don’t like losing that 2nd though but it is what it is. For some reason I don’t think Benning is done either....

Yes. Plus this is the season to see if he’s for real. Roll with Demko

How sweet would that be if he comes in and just lights it up.... I think they do need to find a way to trade Jake. He doesn’t fit this team when they play like this.

He’s going to be fine. I think it’s just all the Virtanen stink coming off on him.

I wish they could replace him with Podkolzin....
